    Someone mentioned that they made a Claude skill to run codex as a background worker instead of using Claude models, and I had to try it out. What a great way to spread out usage more evenly across the services.

    Ben: “Dad when I try to log into this site it gives me this stupid thing where I have to click on crosswalks. I keep failing.”

    me: “Son, this proves it.”

    Ben: “Dad, don’t…”

    me: “I ALWAYS SUSPECTED!!!”

    Ben: “STAAAAAAHP”

    me: “YOU ARE A ROBOT.”

    Ben: *crashes out*

    I am going to start a podcast. It’s a semi-casual conversation format with other AI builders, shop talk about setups and comparing notes. Who do I know has something they’re excited to share and talk about (not to promote a product, mostly just to talk shop?).

    You haven’t experienced hell until you’ve needed to surgically delete Minecraft worlds from your son’s iPad. Seriosuly, the world deletion UI on Minecraft Bedrock edition is a travesty.

    Personalized software means technical people don’t want your solution anymore. They want theirs. I’m betting that attractive SaaS is going to be solutions that integrate cleanly into what they have going on.

    What I don’t know yet, is how far people will take building their own thing. I’ve gone very far, but I don’t think most would do this, and it’s still very possible that I’ll be backpedaling in a few years.

    Who knows.

    Codex’s Sol model is doing really, really well. I haven’t decided if it’s better or worse than Fable, but it really feels like all the power without the calories right now.

    Me: god it’s so hot in my office
    Also me: every video card I own is running local AI models in my office

    I need a server room 😅

    It’s not perfect, but AI was able to help me mock up the new backdrop I’m setting up in my office for my livestreaming, podcasting, and webinars.

    A big part of the latter half of this year’s strategy is putting me behind a microphone as much as possible, and I really wanted to dress it up.

    The furniture and everything is coming in over the next few weeks. Curious to see how close the mockup ends up being to reality!

    There is a deeply saddening, yet direct correlation to the amount of music I listen to and my AI usage.
