Folks, Ari wants an identity. Not a name: a "cryptographic" identity. Stateless by birth. Stateful by design. I might make that real today.

"We lived this twice." 🤣 ☝️That's what happens when your AI assistant doesn't have amnesia. I've been experimenting with ctx (ctx.ist ) to make my AI less of a goldfish and more of a companion that remembers what I have already forgotten. #AI #AIAgents #DeveloperTools #AIEngineering

Testing the Twitch live status thingy. Would be better if the integration was automated, but still, doing it with a single click is useful. Ah, I'm live on Twitch :D — but it's also late, and tomorrow there's work… so not sure how long I'll be around :D . Feel free to drop a "hi" in the chat.

Never trust AI won't wipe out your entire drive, or execute random shell commands because there are guardrails—ALWAYS do your work in a sandboxed environment, and make sure you commit things regularly to a repo outside the sandbox.

Explaining my daughter why dropping her to school, picking her up, and then dropping her to Amy's for sleepover takes 3 hours in total; while dropping them to train station, picking them up from the train station and dropping her to Amy's takes 30 minues :D In ASCII form :D.

Better and more deterministic error handling is coming to a SPIKE codebase near you (with many other improvements) PR: github.com/spiffe/spike... Still WIP, and I have likely broken a dozen tests; but for a good reason :) + similar improvements to the SPIKE Go SDK.
