Captchas that look like cool 90s companies.

Video from a few years ago. Good (weird) stuff from the archive.

At some point we’ll see this as an accessibility issue for (non-human) workers with specific interface requirements.

I think the first wave of “products” will certainly be “full stack agents” but pretty soon there will be “agent tools / actions” as product. I’m excited about the second wave.

I’m trying to understand if there’s a place for agent tool “products” or if the agent is the product. Asking for an enterprise friend 😉

@ianbicking.org - hey, did you consider Anthropic MCP for your tool project (you talked about last week?) I still haven't built a "conventional" tool but it seems like a "standard" like MCP makes logical sense...whatsayye?

Initially wrote this as something I intended to post on Linkedin, but...going to keep it here for now. Still navigating how I interact with discussions around AI. I want to be a part of it, not consumed by it chrismcavoy.xyz/posts/250131...

Your DeepSeek Fear is Misplaced
There’s a surprising amount of post-excitement fear, uncertainty and doubt being directed at DeepSeek. I’ve seen posts that say that open sourcing the model creates a security hole, posts that questio...

Less Talk, More Agents
I'm excited about the growth and potential of AI agents, but want to use them more than talk about them.

Well...after less than 12 hours or so I've moved to Hugo. While Python is still almost always the answer, the themes and features of Hugo are pretty far ahead of Pelican. I'm sure I'll change this up at least a dozen more times.

Also super interested to see what happens if one of the tools allows the LLM to write more tools and add them to their toolset. Probably dangerous but it would be interesting.

I’ve wondered if there’s a potential pattern of another LLM observing tool usage and adding “learning” to the context on future calls, then culling and editing context (memory) as feedback improves.

On the "new blog" tip, I'm committed to self hosting my core content rather than relying on a third party. I started down a Django path (which I may shift back to). I almost went for Hugo (Go based) but decided to stick with Python / Pelican. Python is almost always the answer.

After nearly 10 years actively avoiding social media, the ongoing AI conversation has pulled me back in. I'm working my way back, bit by bit. I posted something on Linkedin today. 26 year old Chris loved this stuff, 48 year old Chris is struggling with it. www.linkedin.com/posts/chrism...
