AI isn’t going to take your job, a risk/compliance officer is after they see how you are using AI to do your job.

Anyone else finding that you get slightly annoyed when you have to manually look through a menu to find a setting? My new instinct is that I should be able to ask an AI copilot to change the setting for me without having to dig through menus to find it myself.

So if you’re a human and your name is Claude, do you just give up and get a name change?

Drinking Game: Read through a tech company’s website: drink every time you see the word “seamless”. If it’s in a heading, finish your glass. Reminder: only your customers get to decide if your product is “seamless”, “exciting”, “disruptive”, “a game changer”.

Tomorrow is tax day. I built an AI agent to do mine. Project is called Taxdown. AI parses your PDFs into YAML. Deterministic Python handles the math. Every number on Form 1040 traces back to its source doc. AI as the reasoning layer, not the black box. github.com/SeanLikesData/…

I've started to think of people describing AI products as "like magic" as a bad sign. Magic implies that you don't know how it works and you can't find out. Magic implies it's not auditable or explainable. Production AI won't be magic, it'll be boring.

It's a weird time to be working on an AI startup. The tech is moving so fast, it is hard to keep a grip on whether your startup still makes sense from one day to the next #BuildInPublic
