116: Artifical Intelligence 2: AI Assistants, and Cleaning up the Blog

Published May 1, 2024 · 2 min read · #ai , #meta

My posts over the last year and a half are riddled with mistakes.

It was a way to ensure productivity, especially at a time when I was less patient, and just more occupied with my heaspace on other things. I prioritised putting something out, or at least capturing the gist of the idea over correctness. Perfectionism is the enemy afterall.

That said, looking at my first few posts in 2022 compared to the posts these days…I can’t help but feel a bit disatisfied with the frequency and egregiousness of some of the errors.

Long overdue, but I shall embark on an exercise to correct this.

AI Assistance

Opportunistically, I have started to use Claude.AI to support my (wide ranging) work. I’ve so far been impressed.

I can totally see certain low level occupations are at risk here. The heuristic (as shared by my current house mate) is that 1 guy can do the programming work of 6. I believe it.

Projects to apply it on:

  1. Spelling and grammar check for all my posts - ideally without changing the content or rewriting it.
  2. Perhaps help me quickly give the website a bit of a makeover?
  3. Quickly build a website idea i have in mind on Node.js
  4. Day job:
    1. Translation (english, chinese, japanese)
    2. Content generation

Tools I’m on the look out for:

  1. 3D rendering for mechanical design from text prompts (side projects)
  2. Automated order and supply chain integration (Wine business)
  3. Anything and everything to support the framing and writing of research papers (without getting into the big ball rat debacle)
  4. Anything and everything to support a low-resource approach for building Social Media for B2B sales

Seems every blog needs to comment on AI. Well here it goes. I’m not going to go into definitions and the like. This merely puts out a simple take after some passive thinking. Of all the macro trends - I would place AI as something that I am relatively less interested, engaged, informed vis-a-vis the hype in gets. I would go so far to say that hype is negative correlated with my interests.

A Renewed Direction - A blog to understand the world

TLDR; I reflect on how best to make use of this blog; This will set the structure and purpose of the blog moving forward. As the new year breaks, I have decided to give this blogging exercise more direction. After reflecting what - specifically - I would want to share with prospective readers, I felt that something unique (and therefore of-value to others), was how I have come to perceive and understand the world.
