The Age Of Thinking Machines

The Age Of Thinking Machines

I’ve spent several days experimenting with an advanced programming AI, paying $20/month for trial use and anticipating a jump to $100/month once I start building real projects. The AI can generate entire applications without any hand‑written code, but it still makes mistakes that require detective‑style debugging—something the author describes as “game” work rather than architecture. By giving explicit instructions (e.g., follow Mozilla conventions, avoid frameworks) the AI produces cleaner code, yet bugs in UI grid slicing or border coordinates can slip through and need manual correction. The writer argues that AI multiplies a developer’s productivity, turning anyone from observer to creator; it allows rapid prototyping with tools like electron‑fiddle for desktop apps or GitHub Pages for web projects. In essence, the post highlights how learning to “talk” to an AI—requesting lightweight versions and guiding its output—can unlock complex code that once required corporate resources, heralding a new age of thinking machines.

The poem is a reflective call to parents, urging them to recognize how their own habits—handing down broken plans, silencing questions, and delegating learning to impersonal systems—have stifled their children’s curiosity and meaning. It describes how schools, test‑driven routines, and an emphasis on comfort over depth have turned students into “products” rather than individuals, leaving them with credentials but no conviction. The piece invites parents back into the active role of first teacher, to question authority, to speak truthfully about the world’s brokenness, and to reignite each child’s fire so that they can grow as real beings rather than merely fitting a mold.

How To Goose Your Artificial Intelligence

How To Goose Your Artificial Intelligence

zoom read listen

Programming in today’s AI‑driven world is a survival skill that can be mastered by letting an intelligent model write JavaScript for you and then tweaking the output—debugging small bugs, adding features, and learning through iteration. The author demonstrates this approach with a series of lightweight command‑line projects on GitHub (piccadilly, skedaddle, sardonic, caricature) that transform images into animated mouth‑syncs using morse‑code timing and audio‑driven head overlays; each step builds on the previous one without intermixing codebases. The “Goosing” concept—placing independent programs in a row so they don’t interfere—illustrates how to structure such projects, while AI generates the core logic and you refine it with comments and simple tweaks. In short, write JavaScript via AI, then polish and deploy as separate, lightweight modules.

The post celebrates “sessions” with artificial intelligence as a fast, effective way to build web applications—calling them a painter’s sitting or a musician’s session. It argues that AI can now write, debug, and improve code in an afternoon, turning a multi‑year project into a single day of work, and stresses that learning this skill early is essential for future success. The author shares personal experience of having AI fix bugs with only natural language descriptions, praises the speed and accuracy of machine‑learning tools, and calls readers to start their own sessions immediately so they can become independent creators rather than lagging behind.

AI’s recent advances allow it to stitch together generic libraries into functional applications, as illustrated by combining a nine‑slice pixel slicer with a panner‑zoomer to create a precise zoomable tool; the author then layers membership and monthly billing on top of this to produce an AI‑driven theme generator that feeds into a marketplace with cross‑advertising. By delegating authentication to third‑party logins and credit‑card handling to external gateways, server complexity stays low while still enabling user profile, sign‑up, and payment features; the post also notes that AI can generate code, perform security analyses, and that such prototyping is now accessible even for middle‑school developers.

In this single‑paragraph epistle, the author—Sister Margaretha, the last bearer of the Magdalene line and self‑identified spy of Rome’s collapse—claims that her 2,000‑year‑old family engineered the empire’s downfall and taught humanity a fatal inversion: love now follows dating instead of the other way around. She explains how this reversal made people servants rather than creators, robbed them of greatness, and left “the quest for love” hidden until now. In her final words she urges all her sisters to “grow up” and become worthy partners in authentic love, reminding them that only by choosing the harder right can they revive their true greatness; she ends with a Hebrew benediction about restoring light and justice.

The post argues that the most effective way to start bodybuilding is by walking with light dumbbells, gradually increasing weight and distance so you stay at the edge of your capacity but never overdo it. By walking or hiking consistently, you build endurance and muscle without exhausting circulation; this steady “bit‑more‑each‑time” approach lets the body adapt before you add more load. The author illustrates this with examples—a fat boy who stops too early because he runs too fast—and notes that jogging or dancing can follow once the base is solid. Finally, he mentions famous long‑distance hikes (Appalachian, Pacific Crest, Continental Divide) as ideal launchpads for a healthy lifestyle.

The post argues that education and culture are inseparable languages that must be preserved; it contrasts “side‑loaded” cultures (religion, slavery, forced political systems) that are engineered rather than evolved, with a truly evolved culture that rises through heroes, philosophers, knights, artists, intellectuals and scientists. It claims that an authentic culture is finely tuned by life, love and wisdom, whereas a made‑up one becomes abominable, and that divine‑leader fantasies inevitably devolve into atrocities, slavery, war and endless manipulation of people for status and power. The author urges parents to nurture their children in this genuine cultural lineage, so they may grow as great beings rather than being swallowed by engineered systems.

This post explains how to build a custom command that turns your written content into a fully functional web page, covering everything from basic folder structures (like `post-0001/cover.jpg`, `post.md`, `audio.mp3`, and `config.json`) to the separation of responsibilities between transforming individual posts and generating the final HTML pages. It emphasizes using simple Linux-style command-line arguments for parsing options, leveraging AI tools for tasks such as creating talking‑head characters or generating templated JavaScript code, and learning core concepts like file I/O, SQLite for tracking modifications, and lightweight templating engines. The author illustrates how audio blogs can be enriched with generative art, animated avatars, and vintage aesthetics, while also showing that the process of converting posts into pages is distinct from assembling the browsable site—making it easier to reason about each part. Finally, he invites readers to experiment with a small AI‑generated blog engine (available at `files/blog.js`) as a practical starting point for learning JavaScript and automating the entire workflow.

I experimented with an AI to create a short generative art piece featuring a blinking kitten in Morse code. Starting from two simple photo frames—one of the cat’s tongue extended and another not—I instructed the AI to cycle between them at random intervals (0.2–2 s) to generate a playful two‑frame animation. After establishing this basic loop, I asked the AI to overlay the blinking effect in Morse code, using Node.js or JavaScript to automate ffmpeg for video synthesis. The process illustrated how incremental “context engineering” lets you build complex outputs by first defining simple steps and then layering additional logic, ultimately producing a magical, easily understandable result from a series of well‑structured AI instructions.
