If you need an LLM to generate ideas, then your idea-making thing may be starved. Feed it by playing. By making. By experimenting. By taking an idea for a walk. By taking a walk. By reading. By talking with people. By listening. By being bored. But feed it. Imagination is excellent.

Any time we say “it will be faster to do this one bigger step than the two small ones” we're missing an opportunity to change the system in a way that makes iterating cheaper. It is faster to do one big step, _precisely_ because iterating in that system is expensive. 1/2

I caught the most beautiful image on a cruise down the Colorado River last night. The reflection was almost perfect. My next painting maybe.. without the houses. The camera made it lighter than it was since it was dusk.. the sun was setting.

We rarely see the impact we have on others’ lives. For us, it’s often a tiny act or the number one added to some viewcount. For them, it’s the kindness that sparked hope in life or the reading that infused their existence with new meaning.
