Notes from a very normal first week with AI Lab with a cozy constraint

I started this because my commute felt a little stuck, and tools seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. A little friction removed goes a long way. Good reminder that tools should serve people, not the reverse.

This is the kind of disagreement I like.

Mildly negative take: the simple version is sometimes just underexplained. This pairs weirdly well with sourdough.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a neighborhood park.
