I agree. IN addition I think many businesses/industries are still not aware of the full capability of AI yet, that is why they still do things the old way. I have several friends who work as QA. When they describe the things they do daily, I tell myself quietly that AI agents can do all of them now.

Another thing I am trying is to ask grok bot in my iPad to instruct my AI agents (opus, codex, etc) in herdr in my other machines to execute some tasks or report back some task results from those sessions.

It depends how frequently you interact with those bots. I interact on a daily basis, and it took me a few days to realize strength/weaknesses of those bots. I also keep an eye on the grok bot team workshops and learn from their practices. They share a lot. There is a bot called “ dr eggbot” on marketplace, which you can use to create other bots. That bot was created by one of the leading grok bot team member.

This one i do not call it mistake. It did a job but did not meet my standard. In those cases i gave it good examples and asked it to learn from those.

It claims it did something, but only did partially. Did not actually verify. Every time I discover such things, I explicitly ask it to write to instructions. It helps.

Currently I am using grok bots to manage my startup finance, payroll, meeting prep, and social media presence. I am pretty satisfied with the quality of the work. You do need to fine tune over time to fix mistakes it makes. I have primary bot to audit and optimize other bots on a weekly basis.

Day in day out, everyday in public transit, just sheer noise would not add any lifetime. We stayed at our Japanese friend’s house so we did have exposure to their everyday life. The point I want to make is that many things contribute to a long life, and of course Japanese people are doing most of those things right, regardless of what that might be. I remember watching a documentary about Okinawa people. One thing they mentioned was laughter.

We have travelled for about a month in Japan last year. They work under constant stress, lots of commute on public transit. I also did not feel their food was that healthy, lots of fried food and sweets. But the portion is small compared to what we would normally eat in a meal.

What exactly did Irregular provide to Anthropic, test cases? I am so confused about this story.

I was thinking the same question. There has to be a common infra shared by those companies that failed and caused this??

It has been about six years for me without any phone, even a "dumb" flip phone. I started a new business recently and it has been really difficult to engage in external outreach without a phone, but I am still managing it. Maybe one day, I have to get a flip phone, but I will try to stay away from smartphone as long as I can.

Does anyone select Codex from the dropdown on the top left corner of ChatGPT desktop app for coding tasks explicitly? Or just use ChatGPT Work for everything from coding to non-coding work? That is the part that really confuses me.

This reminded me one of PG's article about how to get started when you are not really feeling it on a certain day. You just tell yourself that you will go through what you have done yesterday for 10 minutes. That trick works wonderfully in most cases for me. This small trick, to some degree, helps with that activation energy to start working on what I want to work on.
