One of the great motivating forces of humanity… Is laziness.

Yes, I know it’s a little bit ironic, but without going into detail, let’s just say that it’s a subtle and interesting force. And with that in mind, no greater solution to human laziness I think has been the advent of artificial intelligence. 

One of the fun little projects I’ve been experimenting with is with Claude Code. How interesting considering how just a few days ago I was one of those people who would dismiss the very idea of using multiple AI agents as ludicrous. Frankly, ChatGPT has been enough for me, and it likely will continue to be enough for me under the vast majority of all circumstances, purely because of its superior transcription capabilities.

Initially, I bought the $100 USD Max Plan only because I could thought I could use it for autonomously controlling my computer through a Chrome extension which I thus far still haven’t gotten access to, but it turns out that I’ve been using the quota allocation for something a little bit more productive.

With that in mind, here I have two small coding projects already:

 1. A social media scheduler that connects to your respective Instagram and Facebook as well as LinkedIn APIs for scheduling posting

 2. This new NLE that I’m working on called Verbatim.

It’s all very interesting to try out and I’ve been learning quite a fair bit about software development; it’s going to have to break in a whole bunch of different ways before we get it all entirely right I imagine, but I am pleasantly surprised at how amazing this is though. 

I don’t think that I have gotten into this if I were lazy in the way that I am.

Well, I guess there’s something good about everything really, laziness included – but is it really laziness at the end of the day if you are creating stuff every day just because it’s fun?

Some Thoughts On Commodifying Myself

One of the fun little things that I’ve been engaging in recently is essentially a whole block of learning. Every single week, I take part in a set of two different music classes: one for cello and the other for DJing. Along the way, I spend almost all of my […]

Consciousness x Writing Experiment

NB: This was the result of a small experiment on writing and consciousness. It is the result of my pondering aimlessly on a page and then pretty much just letting instinct take me to the end of the page. If it sounds incoherent, that’s possibly unsurprising. If it does sound […]

On Gaslighting Myself

You might notice that I’ve been writing a lot more recently. I don’t know if this is going to continue, but if it does, I think it is the consequence of an interesting new activity that I take part in: gaslighting myself.  Let me give you an example. If you […]

On cognitive switching

One of the things that we discover throughout the course of life is that there’s a distinct difference between thinking that you are being productive or useful and actually being productive and useful.  One of the key parts of that is what we call cognitive switching, which is a phenomenon […]

Discipline and Freedom

Every morning I’m in the gym, I call out:”Hey Siri, one minute!” – and every five minutes I run, I say “Five minutes!”. It’s been like this for a while, as part of some process of systematization that’s started happening in my head sooner than I could say any lickety-splits […]
