We're all building this.
Field notes from people tinkering through the AI transition, built by hand, in their own backyards, on the projects they actually care about. Nobody knows where this lands, but the people running into the spikes in their own work are figuring it out fastest. So we're writing it down.
Start here
- We can all push AI forward. Its fastest-moving layer is wide open. Three layers of AI, and the one you can actually improve
Recent field notes
- Borrowed from everywhere: seeding an LLM with strange domains 2026-05-13
Innovation has always been recombination: patterns lifted from one field and dropped into another. An LLM already contains every field. The trick is making it actually reach.
Experiments
Hobby projects testing where AI's capabilities actually land in practice.
A SteamVR overlay plus an always-on voice loop that turns a headset into a hands-free control surface for Claude Code. Stay in VR iterating on a scene, speak feedback, say "go ahead", and it hands a clean brief to an agent rooted in the right repo. A world-locked panel shows live fleet status (context window used, busy state, progress).
