Transcript: I love Jan Le Koon on Lex Friedman's podcast straight out the gate in the first few minutes of the podcast talking about how basically we need sensory input, and it's generating so much more data than language. Language is this little tiny fraction of data that we're giving it. But what we're actually taking in is enormously more than just the language we produce. And he gives the example of like all of human text would take 170,000 years to read, and it's still two orders of magnitude smaller than the amount of information a four-year-old receives in its lifespan up to that point. That is remarkable. So we do have a long way to go, and I feel good about like pushing on the sensory stuff. I'm really excited about it. Yeah.

I paused to take a note after listening to Jan LeCun, likely from Facebook AI Research (FAIR), discuss hierarchical planning in a podcast. The topic revolves around the intricate steps involved in complex tasks, such as planning a trip to Paris, and how this relates to understanding context. The discussion made me contemplate two approaches to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI): building from scratch or generating data to help models grasp context based on our actions. LeCun's insights on machine learning are invaluable, prompting me to jot this down for future reference, emphasizing the importance of hierarchical planning as discussed in his conversation with Lex Friedman.

The speaker is excited about tomorrow but acknowledges that as a developer facing new challenges, the work is not trivial, especially given the lack of extensive documentation and the solitary nature of their current work process. They express a desire to share their learnings, possibly by writing them down, and emphasize the importance of collaboration, suggesting that "if we do this together, it will be a better world." The speaker is tired of creating misleadingly impressive demos and aims to write code and interact with large language models in a more genuine and transparent way. Lastly, they recognize the complexity of building an effective agential system, admitting their current limitations while believing in its importance, and they present open questions about processing and connecting large amounts of data to better understand who we are.
The speaker agrees with Guillaume, who spoke on the Lex Friedman podcast, about the current technology ecosystem fostering polarization and the push for more thoughtful discourse. The speaker also seeks a platform for serious and thoughtful discussion and identifies with Guillaume's perspective. Although there may be other points of disagreement or nuances in opinion, the speaker appreciates Guillaume's nuanced approach and understanding of phonetics. The speaker acknowledges the need to learn from this approach, seeing value in the thoughtfulness and rejecting an outright dismissal of different viewpoints.
Considering the potential of using Brian Eno's diary as inspirational material, the speaker is pondering on how to reflect and experiment through a year's time. They're impressed by the quick and easy transition from voice note to summary and transcript, finding these tools useful for reflecting on the day. To enhance this reflective process, the speaker contemplates setting up a service to receive a text message summary at day’s end. They also consider the feasibility of sending voice memos directly as an input surface and the possibility of extending this service to friends, acknowledging that it aligns with current developmental efforts.

The speaker reflects on a podcast featuring Mark Andreessen on Rick Rubin's show, highlighting Andreessen's enthusiasm for Usenet and its decline after AOL popularized the internet. They consider the potential of small, intelligent social networks to create something meaningful, especially with a few members who have programming skills. The speaker sees the endeavor as a social game that could be enhanced by designing an experience with enough structure to engage people, yet open-ended to allow for personal contributions. Committed to this vision, the speaker expresses a willingness to work tirelessly to refactor their code base, improving it to facilitate collaboration and assist others in the effort.

The speaker is reflecting on their experience with making audio burrito posts, noting that it often requires multiple attempts to get into the correct mindset—similar to drafting written posts. They're grappling with the challenge of monologuing without a clear understanding of the audience, as they are aware that at least John and CJ will hear it, but uncertainty about the wider audience affects their ability to communicate effectively. This creates a 'contextual membrane shakiness' as the speaker finds the lack of audience boundaries difficult to navigate, which they recognize may vary among different people. The speaker concludes by deciding to end the current note and start a new one.

The speaker conveys their frustration with a difficult fundraising experience, describing a particularly unsatisfactory video call with a fund representative. The caller was in a bad mood, hadn't reviewed the provided materials, and hesitated to engage with the product's features. This led to a tense exchange where the speaker challenged the representative's commitment to valuing founders versus purely focusing on financial metrics. Feeling disillusioned, the speaker is left with a distaste for these disengaged "NPCs" and remains focused on their vision of fostering creative and engaging spaces.

The author contemplates the process of converting an audio note into a transcript, then summarizing it on their "burrito" page. They express a desire to adjust the summarization voice to better represent themselves on the page. Recognizing that this feature may not have widespread appeal, the author nonetheless sees value in providing users with controls to personalize their "burrito." The concept of allowing users to fine-tune their experience is seen as an intriguing possibility.

The speaker is discussing the principles of social design in the context of creating engaging digital spaces, drawing on the collaborative work with Kristen. They emphasize the importance of social participation, challenges, and focused attention in driving user engagement within a product. Kristen's expertise in designing environments for coherence, sense-making, and collaboration is highlighted, particularly in the transition to digital spaces. The speaker believes that fundamental design elements, like those in a burrito, are critical for crafting unique and compelling user experiences in social design.
