Scott the Sloth is one of my Grok bots and it gets an email thanks to @kodykoala. Scott has managed the entire trip using Kody connections to access my calendar and email. I did not have time in my schedule for this so Scott drafted a reply for this for me.

How's this: without Kody, it's 1995 and you've got all your files on your Windows in Microsoft word. You don't want to switch to Mac because transferring all that stuff is too hard. Kody is like Google docs here. You don't have to bother transferring anything. It just works. Google Related
Another thing Kody does for me: adjusts my thermostat based on upcoming weather Related
Kody can do many things. Have to niche down to catch people's attention. I've decided on: making it easy to use more than one and move between them seamlessly (something big labs aren't incentivized to do). But what of I change it up and talk about how it's better than skills? Related

I don't yet have numbers to back this up, but I gotta believe that someone connecting their agent to Kody in one agent and then switching their main driver to another somewhere else is suboptimal.

For those of you that use Best-o-Masto on the web, I've given it a bit of a design refresh. It's a little bit more Tangerine, and yes, a bit more of a traditional social media view. I've also included popular links and users on the right, so you could maybe use it as a way to get a quick news update as well. Next up…you can currently boost/favorite posts in the feed, but I would like to add a way to quickly reply as well. Could be fun! bestomasto.com

Curious why machine learning is not applied to the X timeline more? If somebody is replying once a minute for 8 hours they should be flagged.

One of my accountants, in response to me hitting them with the usual packet of documents, sent back a very obviously LLM drafted list of 10 questions. First thought: What am I paying you for. Second thought: Actually no, my LLM digests your LLM's output into the context window. LLMs Related

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. Summer stretches on here and I've got a weekend full of outdoor activities, many of them requiring outfits. I'm spending this afternoon in a frenzy of visible mending and I'd love to not also feel compelled to reply to your last-minute email. We'll all sweatily muddle forward.

- Drafted a blog post - Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours. - Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing! - Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite. - LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true. - lol The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy. LLMs Related

This might be blasphemy over here, but to support longer/deeper discussions on Mastodon, I think it'd be nice if Mastodon would implement options for non-chronological lists of posts, e.g. similar to reddit's default 'hot" view. Could be as simple as sorting threads based on most recent reply. This could be opt-in and can co-exist with the current chronological view. Related

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
