Last month @aiDotEngineer gave me 10 minutes to kick off the design track with how we use AI at Airfoil. In short, we’re now a team of 25 designers with a few dozen agents running around everyday… but what we make is no less human than before. Hope you enjoy it!

Today, we opened our first @formacity campus. It's located in Bristol, in the UK. Inspired by Professor X and the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. It will serve as a home for people with the audacity to build on the frontier.

im solving this problem by automating things that prevent me from going outside
automating the computer has made the computer radically more fun and its even harder to go outside now

fun side effect of LLMs is that you can now parallelize many cognitive styles cheaply. it would take me months to learn a foreign reasoning style and unlearn my ingrained intuitions. way easier to prompt a model to "think" a certain way my own pocket roundtable of nutjobs
spooky implication that there is potentially some whole universe of "shadow math" that you have to make inhuman mental movements to access so no human have done so yet, that is going to be increasingly revealed by frontier models
