iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I've been trying to setup an agent to get news tailored for me, but it's been hard to get the feed of some sources, especially personal views on social media, and I've realized that these social platforms that are closed to agents will be at a disadvantage soon if they don't find an escape hatch

Life is full of things that, by complexity or design or lack of care or required time, are hard to navigate: healthcare, government, personal finance, school forms are all among them It is why I feel consumer AI is underrated. People muddle by, but are missing support & AI is good enough to help.

Thanks to the video from the Black Hat security conference of OpenAI's presentation about "The Hugging Face Incident" we now have a detailed timeline of what happened from OpenAI's perspective - I wrote up the details here, it's pretty wild simonwillison.net/2026/Aug/7/o...

I am learning so much about architecture by vibe coding i didn't know terms like seam, or testing vertical slices. I did knew them intuitively but I was struggling to communicate that to LLMs Also a shoutout to @mattpocock.com 's YT channel for helping me solidify these and other concepts

This is codex, I just asked him to find the root cause of a health issue by only asking yes/no questions. And now I don't know how to continue 🤦‍♂️

A WhatsApp conversation with an LLM agent, showing the agent become incoherent:

...

🤖 Do you have diabetes, or do you take a GLP-1 medicine such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or similar?

no

🤖 Have you had upper abdominal or chest surgery, or do you regularly take opioids or medicines with strong anticholinergic effects?numerusformassistant to=web.run_analysis code 腾讯天天中彩票? Wait need no tool? Let's continue; I mistakenly? Actually send final only. No need tool.

When @t3.gg published his t3code project video, I wasn't aware that the agent SDK could be used in that way, the next day I prompted Cc to make my WhatsApp agent custom harness modular and implement the Claude agent SDK, and it worked (after some back and forth that is still going after 24h 😅)

In memory of all the walls AI was about to hit.

Image by Nano Banana Pro.

A cinematic, wide-angle shot of a sunlit, overgrown cemetery filled with rows of weathered gray tombstones. Every headstone is engraved with the name "AI WALL" in a classic serif font. Below the names, various short date ranges from the past few years are listed, such as "JAN 2024 - FEB 2024" and "FEB 2026 - MAR 2026." Some stones include epitaphs like "Here lies a bad prediction," "Didn't age well," and "Spoke too soon." The scene is a satirical take on frequent but failed predictions that AI development would stop progressing.

Everyone wants to blame the content: misinformation, bots, polarisation. That mistakes catalysts and symptoms for the underlying causes. The crisis isn’t bad information, it's that the very information infrastructure we relied on to create a shared understand of the world had changed completely.

fun fact: Lean can represent real numbers not floats (although Lean can do them). not doubles. not even arbitrary precision floats, but *actual* reals — which includes the squared root of 2, the exact number Pi (not an approximation!), fractions like 0.111... and so on. this still blows my mind

This is using the highlights API to color raw text like for example this code in a pre tag with no need for nested tags in between the code This is really cool because you can now make a very simple contenteditable editor with color highlighting without needing to fix cursor position on each edit

This is a cool thing one can do in lean the def part is the function definition and the theorem is the proof that age + current year = birthyear As soon as the function's behavior was changed (a +1 was added), the proof now shows an error

my point isn’t so much that manual curation would “replace” algorithmic feeds. it’s that (imo!) curation and ranking need to be decoupled. the primitive i want (post lists) is the most basic form of curation possible. so that feels like the first step in decoupling them. like pinterest collections

Voice cloning is now trivially easy with open source AI tools that run on a PC, while live avatar videos of real people are easy with proprietary tools & a variety of open source tools are getting there. Very limited time to adjust legal & financial safeguards to new ways of authenticating people.
