The new capital_P_dangit().
I've been getting back to writing more often on the latest news in tech in an attempt to help myself stay up to date on everything that's shifting in the landscape. Take a look on my latest update. previouslyontech.com/p/how-people...
What's going on in Utah? Every state at roughly 50% automation vs augmentation then Utah sitting at 75% automation. They're 2 on the usage index by the way.
Look at Missouri at number 12 on the usage index. Maybe we're faster at tech adoption than I realized.
The interactive site for Anthropic's Economic Index is pretty slick. A nice way to visualize adoption of AI across the country by use and role. www.anthropic.com/economic-index
Google cut 35% of their managers of small teams since AI can help individual contributors handle more of the tasks those managers used to do. As we move into agents connecting to agents, are ICs going to become agent managers?
4. I'm also personally excited for using it to automate front-end testing of functionality. It'll be nice to be able to test specific features on by just opening the page and giving Comet a prompt. It won't replace other tests, but a nice way to smoke test.
3. Being able to interact with a site through natural language is going to be a huge accessibility benefit.
2. Making sure sites and applications work with agentic browsers is going to become very important. We've got some work to do here as the first site I tested that my team maintains, Comet struggled with the datepicker then didn't notice when it opened a new tab.
A few (very) initial thoughts from testing out Perplexity's Comet browser last night.
1. The use case for chatting with an article I'm reading to dive deeper into the information is great. I can see it being an awesome resource for learning and exploring unfamiliar topics.
Getting myself back into a more frequent posting cadence again. That means I'm attempting to post a short newsletter of some of the articles I've found most interesting every Monday morning. Checkout this weeks and sign-up so I'm not just typing into the void. previouslyontech.com/p/the-costs-...
Co-Intelligence by @emollick.bsky.social was a good, quick read (listen on my commute) about using AI as a thought partner. It also is a good introduction for understanding the basics so you can use AI tools more strategically. a.co/d/dS8wWmG
The most important part of getting good results out of AI tools is, as Will Ferrell as George W. Bush once said, "Strategery". Better results come from a strategic approach to implementation and use.
Gemini's nano-banana image update does a really good job keeping elements consistent between images edits.
I've always been a proponent of understanding the basics when your coding. The same is true for vibe-coding. I'm much better at getting consistent output with frameworks I know deeply than those I've only touched here or there.
It'll be interesting to see how all the pricing shakes out for AI tools in the coming months and years. I can understand why Anthropic had to pump the brakes on people running Claude Code 24/7 on a $200 a month plan.
The latest 3D print turned out pretty great.
I do enjoy brain dumping all the random stuff that comes into my head during a workout/walk/commute into ChatGPT and be able to reference and compile it into something useful.
It feels like AI pricing isn't going to be sustainable. Feels like there's a lot of giving it away to get people on it and I get the feeling prices will start going up like other services (👀 looking at you streaming services). Maybe its just overall subscription fatigue.
Great post on the pit-falls and responsible use of vibe-coding tools. etsd.tech/posts/rtfc/
Forget saying please and thanks to AI. If they found out the things I’ve done on Roller Coaster Tycoon in my past I’ll be at the front of the line.
The print has 4 different strawberry options that are 6+ hours each. I did the quickest so all in was about 12 hours total.
It did turn out great. All props to the author. makerworld.com/models/746187
A 3D printed version of tic tac toe using a waffle as the board and whipped cream and strawberries as the pieces.
I talked myself in and out of a 3D printer for Christmas then finally did the A1 mini for my bday. The kids were big fans of the waffle tic tac toe board.
Gemini is truly unhinged.
Can you spot which models have been trained on Pokémon NPC dialog?
I can get on board with Pokémon Red as an AI benchmark. drubinstein.github.io/pokerl/
Same.
