Eh readers will get bored of clicking on pangram every time. AI as a tool for writing is much more interesting when used by people who would have been interesting if they had the time to write… [The revolt of the reader | The Observation […] https://aneeshsathe.com/note-20260906-001515/

Interesting that the process is about the same everywhere. Judgement and taste matter a lot but can also be built up. “ I’m not saying we should give AI slop a pass. I hate it as much as the rest of you, and I react badly when people send me unedited […] https://aneeshsathe.com/writing-with-ai/

I was thinking about how, in Marathi, you don’t really need to say *please* and *thank you* constantly. You can walk into a shop, ask for something, pay, and leave without even a “bye” or “have a good day,” and it isn’t rude. If you do use those […] https://aneeshsathe.com/note-20260823-055257/

Over on the Protocol Insitute chat [rafa.](https://rafael.fyi/) asked how one would give a robot a personality. My opinion is you don’t: Does a robot need to be given a personality or is personality something we use as a convenient shorthand? […] https://aneeshsathe.com/note-20260823-052633/

Now: Clearing through the last heavy Claude fatigue to start exploring local models with designed workflows. Knowledge graphs were last year… next 18mo are gonna be neurosymbolic for me. Partly because AI seems to be plateauing and partly because […] https://aneeshsathe.com/note-20260822-180639/

These books — they have desires. They creep and sneak slowly onto my table until soon there is a pile. Each falling over another eager to have its interiority claim a bit of mine. Most are content with one such ride. Others, oh they jump over […] https://aneeshsathe.com/note-20260821-051637/

Recent weirdness with Opus has me convinced that I need to work with local LLM models — or at least with limited models — and experiment with better processes for production. In fact the advanced models may be nothing more than catalysts enabling […] https://aneeshsathe.com/note-20260821-045716/
