I must say the reviews you have are more in the horrifying and less in the pretty funny situation. My favorite funny (and bad) review was a host that accused his guest of flipping over all the furniture in the house and the guest was like "why and how would I do this". I still want to know what happened that day. How did all the furniture end up upside down?

This is really cool, I felt like the fashion trends are reading my mind. Except for the lack of tie dye, but I accept the tie dye to be relatively concentrated on myself.

I love it! Endless entertainment and 0 attempts to get me to stay at the Airbnb.

Well the website is kind of useless, but it does suck me in. I love reading crazy reviews. The only thing that would make it better is if they also included Airbnb reviews.

The second review I read was a customer complaining about profanity in a movie and then writing out all the examples. Who has time for that?

The book thumbnails caught my eye. The little hedgehog explained character whaa quite cute. I read an ELI for one of them, it was entertaining and practical. It was a little long, I would look around more.

Thanks! Their videos are already being recommended to me. I'm persistent with my flower seeding, this is my third year and in the big picture 'mowed by the town/county" is one of the less distressing things to happen. Once I had several beautiful zinnias growing near the county creek and someone came with a shovel and dug them all up! The seeds won't be stopped though.

Just curious, how long did you operate without AI? The burst in productivity I feel implies a time to accumulate these many small needs.

The idea send wild, it reminds me of the katamari video game where you roll up assorted stuff.

That's funny, I actively seek out books written post 2022, because I enjoy the injection of AI related humor and commentary that some authors include.

Similar to how movies now include texting dialogue sometimes, it's now part of art to imitate life. I imagine modern film has couples who met through AI now and so on.

Everyone needs to get some deep sleep, and it would be nice to leave an AI running at it while I am sleeping. Are you proposing to experiment with leaving AI models with a big question and time, while you get well rested for the physical mission it will propose? The you wake up and take the actions it couldn't?

Happy Earth day! Although I'm having a somewhat sad earth day since I've been scattering wildflower seeds and two days ago the city came though and mowed them all down. So it's less happy than usual, now the flowers are all dead.

Those lines are just hanging out on the trees around for most of the year! Best storage for citrus is on the tree.

Don't people just tell you if something is made by AI? It doesn't seem like something to hide. Look, I made something cool using an AI tool. That's great to hear, the thing I'm interested in is the Something Cool, but I do also want to know how, so I can learn how to build Something Cool myself.

I love concord grapes so much. Im eagerly awaiting their annual return to the farmers market (early September). I love them so much the vendors know to get me and tell me when they are here. I don't understand why the demand for them is small.

I was a teenager around the dot-com and to this day I feel an idealized sense of longing for participation in the exciting times of the dot-coms. You guys got to enjoy the blazing innovation of the new internet, so full of endless possibilities. Tough luck on your bubble popping moment though.

skyberrys — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 01:35:30 +0000

So I am taking a different approach than instead of just focusing on software. I have Gemini app, Claude app, Grok app and then chatgpt still using web interface. And periodically I ask them questions about what I can do to improve the wellbeing of humans. I think trying to use them for work is okay, but it's not the best way to use these tools, we can use them to broaden our thinking and find challenges we never considered before.

This is my take too. When we were imagining AI what were the use cases we had in mind back then? They are these grand visions of AI will take care of major problems. We should be pushing for responsible AI deployment, starting on low risk areas and moving up to more serious uses once we know the tools work for less catastrophic situations.

Going after a problem almost everyone will have at some point, with a safe and secure approach. It seems like a great way to use AI, it boosts your ability to walk away from your laptop and spend time outdoors, as long as you have your phone with you it's possible to keep your long running jobs supervised and moving forward.

How many tokens did it take to develop this project? Do you know what models you used? It feels like a Claude assisted project, but do you have to keep maintaining it with AI or is it a question of architecture skill that keeps it safe and reliable now?
