Connor Mason @connor.social · 24/03/2026My wish for macOS 27 is official APIs for this type of agentic computer use. Right now the risks of unleashing an LLM on your file system are way too high, but enforcing some standards and guardrails would unlock incredibly useful workflows. 000

Connor Mason @connor.social · 02/12/2025Mobile was the disruptive tech changing society for most of my career. I’ve loved building products for the supercomputer in your pocket. Now the industry’s passion and energy are spent transmuting human creativity and labor into an AI slop nightmare. And it’s a dead end. What’s next after this? 020
Reposted by Connor MasonKatie Mack @astrokatie.com · 21/11/2025It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it. 8755871573

Connor Mason @connor.social · 16/04/2025Based on the US population of 3.9M in 1790, the 65 representatives in the 1st US Congress each represented around 60,000 constituents, on average. Today, with the estimated population over 340M, achieving a similar 1:60k ratio would require nearly 5,700 representatives. 100
