We will be writing more about this soon!

So, I spent two weeks trying to be my own personal executive assistantto build a stronger mental model of an AI admin. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! sociotechnica.org/notebook/lif...

We are cookin'!

At @sociotechnica.org we've been working on an "agentic environment" called Work Squared for a few months and it's starting to feel truly useful! youtu.be/1yfpGT6B50w Core concepts: - Agents and humans can collaborate on all of the work products - Make it visual - see everything that's happening

AI advantages existing platforms. The more data/tools you have, the more AI can do. Incumbents will sherlock every innovation. Yet AI also requires rethinking software from scratch. What will prevail: platform dominance vs startup disruption? notes.jessmart.in/Lab+Notebook...

Good news: In my pursuit of work life balance, the scale is balanced at 50 / 50. Bad news: The scale can't handle this much weight. Can all the latest AI model breakthroughs now save me from myself? WorkSquared Labnote #5: sociotechnica.org/notebook/ove...

Many people get very little out of AI chatbots. What if we applied old school "edtech" (Kay / Piaget / Bruner) to humanize the AI experience? WorkSquared Labnote #4: sociotechnica.org/notebook/sym...

Ran multiple Claude Code instances in parallel yesterday to speed up development. Wild experience with some surprising challenges. The short answer: yes, Claude can definitely asynchronously get stuff done, but the setup is way more complex than expected. Thread on what I learned 🧵

The crux

A 6 hour innovation sprint with Claude 4 Opus. Maybe 4 days worth of work in 2023? A play-by-play write-up with example prompts. sociotechnica.org/notebook/pla...

Moving my @sociotechnica.org projects from Google Docs to @obsidian.md + Relay from System 3[1]. Been using Obsidian heavily as a solo user for years now. Excited to try as a team. Also added an "agent" account. Wish me luck! [1] system3.md/relay

I was seeking UI inspiration for an AI native workspace. Plot twist: the best UI education was in my childhood games. Join me on a nostalgic 16-bit journey through retro games that solve the complexity paradox better than most modern day apps: sociotechnica.org/notebook/ws-...

We have started publishing Lab Notes, sharing our process and learnings from various explorations. The first three notes are posted to read. More coming soon! sociotechnica.org/notebook

Reading about Civilization I (1991) for UX inspiration.

Sorry HAL, it's not me, it's you. We gave an AI our credit card to trade NFTs, then had to fire our digital intern after 3 months. Here's what happened when we tried to make $5/day with AI agents... 🧵 A Q1 2025 Update from SocioTechnica
