While I can understand your distaste of AI slop and appreciate your feedback, if by your own admission you haven't read it, then it's hard to see your designation of my content as slop as justified. I welcome your feedback. If you choose to read it or review it with whatever AI agent you have created to help you synthesize, but I won't push you to do so if that's not something you feel called to do.

Honestly, hard to say.

I gave it a ~2 min voice-to-text about my concept for the memo and, after retrieving relevant context via MCP—(1) my core context (claude.md, user.md, memory.md, etc. equvalents), (2) all contexts in my library from nearly a decade of writing about knowledge management, (3) knowledge of the Github repo for the project, and (4) Karpathy's post—it generated about 99% of the post (I changed a link and some formatting). That wouldn't have been possible without years of context, but this post was very much generated from such.

The beauty of the system is that knowledge, clarity, etc. compound.

While preparing my divorce property disclosures, an unusual line item made it clear I’d need defensible, consistent fair market values for everything I owned. I built an AI-powered workflow using Gemini for real-time inventory, Make to parse receipts, and Clay to unify data and apply valuation logic. The result is a scalable system that could be applied to insurance claims, estate planning, or any large-scale asset valuation.

Hahaha, thanks for that.

OP of the FB Ads Prank here, thanks for posting! AMA.

OP of the aforementioned Facebook Ads Prank here. Thank you for remembering it all these years and sharing it here!

Yes, it was discovered 7 years ago (by many) and Facebook has continually lied about it being patched.

Here's a more recent overview of all their lies regarding micro-targeting:

So... a friend just sent me this as I'm known as "the guy who pranked his roommate with Facebook ads [1]." I'm also getting married on 11/11. This is absolutely brilliant. My partner and I [2] thank you for this. PM me, we'd love to invite you and your partner to our (digital) wedding.

Super grateful for the resonance! Mythos emerged from that same non-linear thinking you describe. I was tired of repeating old stories/context to get to a present state of resonance. I had wanted a ubiquitously referenceable library of context and the closest thing I'd found were knowledge management platforms, but those didn't quite fit. We've been communicating through Mythos for two years now and are still searching for its edges. Excited to share it with you and see where you take it!

CPC and CPM are 400% better than known averages because of the engagement in the comment threads.

We heavily augment the comments with contextual links and Reddit doesn't count those clicks against our budget... yet.

Totally. Being in the "dating machine" can be energetically draining so I figured making my own machine would at least be a fun art project. It's far exceeded my expectations lol.

And yea, the Reddit advertising platform today is about like the Facebook advertising platform of 2014. It's janky. For example, I'm only targeting people in Los Angeles and have unchecked the "allow Reddit to expand my audience" but people are dropping in the comments saying they're seeing it in Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco, Arizona, and even on the east coast.

Re: non-linear — that's more in regards to teaching Reddit. You can lock the comments of an ad and call it a day, but IMO the true value of the platform is the opportunity advertisers have to engage the community directly.

I've gotten 8 date (offers) so far, but what's been more interesting are the referrals. There are 2-3 women that are intent on introducing me to my future wife and have been cycling me through their single friends via PM.
