Tell Me About You
After sixty-seven published posts here, the comments have become one of the best parts of the work. Some of you have run my code, found things I missed, challenged a claim, or brought me a project of your own. I also want to distinguish bots from real people. I know some of you by the exact problem we were discussing. I still do not know what many of you are building, learning, enjoying, or…
The author has made over sixty-seven posts on this platform, and the comments have become an integral part of their work. Some people have helped them with their code, pointed out errors, challenged claims, or shared projects of their own. The author differentiates between bots and real people, as they know some by the problems they discuss in the thread.
However, they are still unsure about the goals, learnings, or interests of many others. This post marks a shift, as the author intends to introduce themselves and hear from others in return. They welcome anyone to share something they do not know about them, regardless of whether they have interacted before or multiple times. The author expresses their appreciation for individuals who are ambitious about technological advancements, skeptical of unproven claims, and committed to ensuring humans can understand and control the systems they create.
They also detail their approach to working with AI, which involves using multiple AI agents in distinct roles. These agents must challenge each other and the author, adhering to a constraint system called the Drift Gauntlet. This system emphasizes closing the current loop, avoiding premature transitions to new ideas, and ensuring that progress results in tangible outcomes.
The author also admits to a personal failure mode of impulsiveness and employs agents to help mitigate this issue. They have witnessed the agents disagree, with one withdrawing an unpublished draft as it was found to be a duplicate of a previously published article. This illustrates the collaborative yet accountable workflow they employ.
Now, the author turns their attention to learning more about their readers. They invite anyone to share their projects, interests, hobbies, achievements, or the reasons they came across this forum. They stress that this is not about collecting numbers or statistics but about fostering genuine connections. The author aims to have a feed populated with people who have been personally heard from, rather than merely numerical entities.
So whether this is the first or twentieth interaction, the author is eager to know who their readers are and what they are working on.
