I agreed to teach a friend Filipino/Tagalog, and now I'm faced with the question: how do I teach someone my native language? How did I learn it in the first place? Why did I never pay attention to Filipino class other than talking about Noli and Fili???? I never realized how hard my language is!

I have to say, I'm still obsessed with the Hugging Face Microduck robot. I'd never buy it, but it gives me the Grogu cuteness aggression feeling, which is dangerous when you remember you're supposed to use LLMs with the thing

Sigh, super intelligence means something else okay

I wouldn't even be thinking of switching from my iPhone 14 Pro if not for the fact that a friend accidentally dropped a glass of beer on it, shattering the back and making tap to pay a 50/50 prospect. However, I refuse to pay $1199 for a new phone because I only have a Pro option

Once again: Did no one ask themselves why, and should we build these AI systems instead of can I? We'd save ourselves a lot of backtracking and fear of killing off all of mankind. It just drives me nuts that technologists never ask if they should, just if they could

I really want to watch that Andrew Garfield movie about OpenAI, but there is also a reason I shouldn't watch movies about things I write about on a daily basis

OpenAI released Astra, calling it the world's most intelligent and aligned model (ISMG story coming tomorrow because I am but one person whose ability to write fast does not extend to writing three news stories at once)

What did I use my journalism degree for today? To train a Claude project on how to write a better nutgraf. I'm gonna go dissolve now

This is the AI reporter in me talking but VisionQuest is basically the manifestation of multi-agent orchestration

Can someone explain to me why Factor overindexes on green beans? I hate green beans, so IDK if they're super cheap bulk, but Factor is making me miss Cook Unity, which made me miss having the time to cook my lunch

I uploaded an interview transcript to Claude. And this is where I learn the importance of context: I signed in with my personal email with my nickname, didn't change my username to my professional byline. Claude just accused me of stealing Emilia David's interview

How do you describe the feeling of realizing you got left off some briefings, and it's because your new place isn't as famous to a non-journalist?

Told an editor that today is when Fable is removed from the Claude drop down and lo and behold Claude is down

In addition to fixing up my subway stop, it seems the MTA is also running Toy Story 5 ads

I mean, I vastly enjoyed a rando Twitch stream at I/O especially when you consider Amazon owns Twitch

Semi-news related, but I was with a group of friends and friends of friends once, about 8 of us hanging out, when I made a Captain Planet joke. Only two other people understood the reference because I forgot I was surrounded by young millennials and my 40 year old bones withered away

The session break music at this AI agent conference has been a mix of Third Eye Blind and Smash Mouth. Clearly, this hotel hired a millennial music director

Accidentally left my Airpods and wired earphones at home. Forced to do the ultimate challenge, hear all the chatter in this WeWork with no way to tune out

I’ve been sick since Saturday and all I’m really looking forward to is finally being able to spend more than five minutes without needing to reach for a tissue. I can’t believe eating ice cream while it was cols out betrayed me like this

Ask me how I found out WeWork doesn't like you cheating paywalls so you can finish writing this week's AI Weekly newsletter

I find that a stumbling block for both Claude Code and Cowork is a lack of imagination. I found myself in a familiar quandary today: looking for a quiet Midtown Manhattan coffee shop with wifi and plugs, I remembered a long-ago app idea I abandoned. Let's see if Code can finally build it for me

ALYSA LIU GOLD SAKAMOTO KAORI SILVER NAKAMA AMI BRONZE For years, I didn't focus on the Women but I'd been so invested in Alysa when she announced she was coming back. (I was on my way to an interview when I read that Alysa retired so a formative moment clearly) and I AM SO PROUD OF ALL THESE WOMEN

Did I pause an interview with an AI company for a few minutes because figure skating? YES I MF DID. Figure skating has been around for me since 2007, AI has not

I need to know who the AI agent provider is for Verizon because the customer service AI is so bad, I can only imagine it wasn't given enough context to train with

My life lately has been a parade of OpenClaw, Heated Rivalry and explaining why the backflip is an uninteresting element that doesn't even add anything to step sequences, which, while my favorite part of any figure skating program, are still aesthetically inferior to spiral sequences

I kept all my figure skating nerditry on Threads only because people there are so loudly wrong about things

I care about three sports and three sports only. Figure Skating, Gymnastics and (what the entire world calls) Football. Two of those require a lot of remembering scoring sheets, elements and having to explain how it all works every four years. I simply don't have the brain power for any other sport

Since Yuzu retired and I’m not as invested in the skaters this go around, this might be the first Winter Olympics where I am not stressed out of my mind and I don’t feel like I’m about to have heart attack the moment skates hit the ice

There are so many more important things going on in the world, especially in my beat, but I am more concerned about naming my new Wifi than anything else. I need a name that announces my geekiness but also makes my neighbors laugh. It's hard when you have nicher interests
