💬 Not just philosophers. It’s everywhere.

Too many people are in the camp of ‘I do it this way - so the rest of the world surely does it this way’.

Just a couple of weeks ago hit this thought as we were iterating on a website.

They just couldn’t understand why we ‘needed’ to do ‘all that’ …

“I’d never use it”.

I don’t get this with OpenAI - and unclear why I get it from Anthropic - I am paying for both right now - but one of them is going to have to go - and increasingly it looks like it will be Claude - particularly with this on top of the 90% fail in understanding prompts today.

From iCloud to Obsidian to Blot to My Wiki … it’s coming together.

David Merfield at Blot Rocks

.. there I said it. So happy with my new 🔗 Blot powered Obsidian Wiki - now in the menu of my 🖇️ Public Journal

What David Merfield built is very impressive and the Obsidian integration is stunning.

My wiki is based on the Forty template with extended CSS and functionality like 🔗 this page all built in collaboration with Claude.

Looking to now add an image gallery

Have I taken away a programmers job? No - without Claude I just wouldn’t have done it.

Next job moving a raft of material out of various archives and folders into the Obsidian vault.

You know that Bad Bunny controversy - where ‘Mike’ was asking if the NFL couldn’t have found an American performer … turns out they could - Sting - who’s gonna perform two days BEFORE - and (checks notes) is definitely not American - although BB is.

Confused yet❓
