I'm running an agent that works with cursor agent to continously develop code. Every sixty seconds it sends a new message to cursor agent. it's supposed to run unattended. We'll see how it looks in the morning

after rnning for a few hours it ended up turning a fibonacci generator to an interest calculator.

good proof of concept though. now I'm trying to build an overseer management agent for all the agents in the home dir. it's not going well

probably going to abandon this

"The phrase "data is the new oil" is widely attributed to Clive Humby, a British mathematician and data scientist known for co-creating the Tesco Clubcard loyalty program. He first used this analogy in 2006 to emphasize the value of raw data as a resource that must be refined to create real value, much like crude oil.

Humby explained that, like oil, data needs to be refined—processed and analyzed—before it can be useful. Without proper structuring and insights, raw data has limited intrinsic value.

Since then, the phrase has been popularized and used by many others, including business leaders and technology commentators, to highlight the growing importance of data in the modern digital economy." (said chatgpt)

the analogy of data to oil is common understood as a mostly financial idea. in other words data is valuable the way oil is. this makes sense and works at least as much as the concept of refinement does. and I feel like you can extend the idea to say that artificial intelligence is the new plastic. or less hysterically just say that ai is analogous to plastic the same way data is analogous to oil.

this means, specifically but not completely, that ai will be in "everything" and "everything" will be made from ai just like plastic. and it will be pretty great and make everything better in the historic short term just like plastic. and there will be a downside that we wont recognize or have to confront in the human long term, just like plastic.

when the entire world acts as your foil it puts you in a postition where you flirt with developing delusional self talk. the only other choice is to give up, to abandon your natural inclinations and adopt conventional wisdom (thinking.)

it's important to remember that the world is not a strategic opponent. the world presents itself as an opponent often enough, but it is not strategic. the world is haphazard, thoughtless in its dealings with you. knowing this, delusional self talk no longer seems like a logical response. instead, being smart and strategic, we realize that we must develop some kind of skill in separating true from false. discernment.

the world will mock your discernment. any wisdom you develop, the world will frame it as delusion. the world is an insane monster.

the agent building is seeing progress. there's a certain kind of careful building that needs to be done. it's easy to muck up the whole works by too agressively adding features or making changes.

I created a new user on the machine where I'm doing the work because I had really screwed up the file system in the previous user directory. so with a clean slate I started by creating a manager agent, and then I added a file system organizer agent. now I'm adjusting both because nothing works out of the box does it. but I think once I've got these things working together I can add more things easily, more or less. and build from there. I think. I hope.
