Almost Entirely Human

I built an autonomous AI agent that runs 24/7 on a Mac Mini, manages my home office, triages my email, helps write content, and improves itself every night at 3 AM. Here's an introduction to how it actually works.

Poison pills are hidden instructions in data your AI consumes. They’re a fun defensive trick for content creators and a serious attack vector if you’re building AI tools that touch external data.

It takes more than a good system prompt to protect an AI from abuse, and it is worth making it as hard as possible for attackers.

Do you garden? I do, sometimes. I have a raspberry bed that I am proud of. Sometimes I grow a few tomatoes, lettuce, and the occasional pepper.

There are four levels of AI coding available today, from fancy autocomplete to full agentic engineering. The interesting stuff starts at Level 2. And Level 3 is where it gets weird.

I built a web app called Palm Springs Eats AI, where you can chat with a map of restaurants near the convention center.

TL;DR - A friend built me a Chrome extension that generates alt text for images using the surrounding page content for context. It took less than an hour.

I demo how to build an Experience Builder widget using Claude Code and it works!

This week, to celebrate one year of AEH, Holly and I review our favorite posts and I make some comments about what it is like writing a newsletter every week!

I used Claude Code to build a voice dictation app called Spiel. It uses OpenAI's Whisper for transcription, has an optional AI cleanup step with a prompt that I can control, and it only took me one evening to make!
