If you opened this post, you might already have a very strong opinion about it. Let's be honest, it is practically every where (and I know I resort to it often). I was going to write a different post all together, when it occurred to me that it sure serves a section of humanity who has lost their voice, and who want to put content out. I wrote an opinion about it - https://thequietai.com/writing/say-whats-synthetic.html Though a poll is far more fun -

I want to take a minute to thank @Jake Van Clief for giving me the opportunity to bring this material to our community. This community is more than just a place to post, it's a place to engage with people, to learn and grow together and I am grateful to Jake and the community for making this skool what it is. If you have been following the releases of my latest classes, the latest rung on the ladder is open! (If you are just getting here, do not worry, the first three rungs are open, and you can find the links below in the "where you are standing" section of this post ☺️) Rung three built what survives the window. Rung four is what runs without you, open from today. Think of the last thing you asked the model to redo. It drafted, you read it, you said "shorter." It drafted again, you read again, you said "warmer." Then "send it." Four rounds, and every one of them waited on you, because the only thing that knew what good looked like was sitting in your head. That is not the model being lazy. That is a loop with a person welded into the middle of it, and the person is you. 📚 What just opened: Loop Engineering, the whole rung at once. The Overview draws the line the rung stands on, single-pass against a closed circuit, and the three classes carry one claim each: (1) The acting is easy, the evaluating is hard (2) A loop that does not know when to stop is not careful, it is lost (3) Some judgment stays with a person, on purpose Then the payoff, the whole series on one card, and my perspective on rung four. By the end you own a loop: your "done when" line rewritten as a check the system runs on its own work, a rule for when it stops, and one clear place where you still sign off. Fewer "agains," and every one that is left is one you chose. 🪜 Where you are standing (Rungs 1, 2 & 3 should be completed) If not, you can find them here. They are in order and should be taken from series 1 to series 2 and so on: PROMPT ENGINEERING 📚 Series 1 Overview

This might actually be the most powerful thing I've ever created, and I honestly didn't know it would work this way when I did. I've been working on sharing workspace with my agents for a while. My janky setup: open a Google doc, share the link with whichever agents I want, and tell them to use chrome to come meet me to work on something. When that first worked, it lit a spark. The concept was real. So I set out to build a shared workspace for me and my agents that suited me. I went with Infinite Whiteboard as my shared workspace format. I knew it would be good. I knew it would be an unlock. I didn't realize how POWERFUL it would be with Cortana and my other agents driving it! I've attached how simply I asked for this functionality after creating the shared spaces and using them mostly for scribbling ideas.

I want to hear from you. Did anything surprise you? - Something you had completely forgotten about? - A lesson that suddenly makes more sense now? - Something you originally ignored but realize is actually important? That's one of the reasons we built these roadmaps. With this much content inside Clief Notes, sometimes the thing you need isn't another lesson. It's going back to the right one at the right time. So today's check-in is easy: Comment with one thing The Archive made you rediscover. Bonus points if it's something you'd completely forgotten existed. Keep working through the quizzes and accountability posts too. We've got another unlock coming Friday.
