I often research how the world will change with AI by asking AI. Today’s session was informative. I asked Claude, roughly Economics changes human behavior. As intelligence cost falls to zero, here are some changes in my behavior [I listed these]. Others will have experienced behavioral changes too. Search online and synthesize behavioral changes. It said this. 🟡 People spend time on problem framing & evaluation. AI can execute the middle. (I’m OK at this. Need to do more framing + evaluation.) 🟢 People don’t plan, they just build. (I’m prototyping a lot.) 🟢 People build personal data & context. (I’m mining my digital exhaust.) 🔴 People queue work for agents, delegating into the future. (I’m not. I need to do far more of this.) 🟢 People shift from searching to asking for answers. (I do this a lot, e.g. this post.) 🟡 People are AI-delegating junior jobs and developing senior level taste early. (Need to do more.) 🟡 People treat unresolved emotions as prompts. (Need to do more.) Rough legend: 🟢 = Stuff I know. 🟡 = I kind-of know. 🔴 = New learning. ...

Since WEBM compresses videos very efficiently, I’ve started using videos more often. For example, in Prototyping the prototypes and in Using game-playing agents to teach. I use a fish script to compress screencasts like this: # Increase quality with lower crf= (55 is default, 45 is better/larger) # and higher fps= (5 is default, 10 is better/larger). screencastcompress --crf 45 --fps 10 a.webm b.webm ... To record the screencasts, I prefer slightly automated approaches for ease and quality. ...
