  17. For me personally, asking a machine to produce you something then having it emerge almost fully formed lacks that creative interest. It feels... entitled.

    Don't get me wrong, there is creativity in the underlying AI technology (not least of which is the gigabytes of creative work that was stolen to produce it).

    But asking a machine to write you a book, or port you a game, or compose a song is just not interesting or worthwhile to me. Having a thing just for the sake of it feels unearned.

  19. Hey followers! I’m currently part-time contracting at the wonderful convocation.design/ where I get to work on internet freedom and privacy/security projects but I’m also looking for other projects to fill me days that I’m not working for Convocation.

    If y’all have projects where you need a designer who has worked on complex UI systems, typically for skill-proficient people, and want more usable and accessible to non-proficient users then I’m your designer/researcher!

    Check out more of my work on my updated website erioldoesdesign.github.io/

    I’ve worked primarily on privacy, security, civic tech, open science, open source software tools and the digital rights space for over 8 years and I’ve worked on commercial/proprietary tech for another 6 years, totally over 15 years of designing for people across technology. I’m a detailed user researcher and typically employ a ‘just enough’ research approach to make meaningful changes to user bases of tools.

  20. We are currently in the middle of a massive agent gold rush, with everyone stringing together task-specific bots, writing complex prompt chains, and orchestrating multi-agent frameworks to automate everything from code generation to workflows. But if you look closely at where these systems bottleneck, it becomes obvious that agents are just a transitional technology. They are the scaffolding. The real endgame is digital twins.

    To understand why, you have to look at the structural limits of how we build and deploy these systems.

    An agent is fundamentally a transactional construct. It is essentially a function-call loop wrapped around a language model, where you provide a system prompt and a set of tools, and it executes a bounded task before stopping or waiting for the next trigger. Because of this, agents suffer from severe context fragmentation. When you build a multi-agent swarm—such as a researcher handing off to a writer, who then hands off to a coder—they do not share a continuous reality. They just pass serialized text back and forth across brittle boundaries, losing nuance, intent, and implicit state along the way. You end up spending a ridiculous amount of engineering effort writing glue code and re-steering prompts just to keep the swarm from drifting off course.

    A digital twin approaches the problem from the exact opposite direction. Instead of starting with a transient task, it starts with persistent state, identity, and continuous memory. A digital twin does not ask what tool to run next to complete a prompt; it acts as a persistent state engine that continuously models a real-world entity—whether that is a human operator, a complex codebase, or an entire infrastructure stack—retaining full historical context and behavioral constraints in real time.

    This also changes how we handle execution. Agents are reactive by design, waiting around for a webhook, a prompt, or a cron job to fire before scrambling to execute a workflow. Digital twins introduce a predictive, simulation-first paradigm. Because a true twin maintains a high-fidelity mirror of its environment, you stop relying on fire-and-forget automation. Instead of just telling an agent to push a change and hope for the best, a digital twin architecture lets you run simulations against historical data and edge cases, find the failure points in a sandbox, and execute the optimal path autonomously. You shift from brittle task execution to high-certainty state transition.

    Right now, developers are trying to patch the agent memory problem with vector databases and RAG pipelines bolted onto stateless models. While those help, they treat memory as an external lookup table rather than a core property of the system. A digital twin treats memory, logic, and execution as an integrated whole, where the identity layer is an evolving state machine rather than a paragraph stuck in a system prompt.

    Ultimately, agents are the micro-services of this era—valuable, modular building blocks for executing specific workloads. But they are too fragmented and short-lived to form a cohesive autonomous future. The architecture we should actually be building toward consists of persistent, stateful digital twins that can spawn, manage, and coordinate tactical agents as mere sub-routines of a much larger, unified system.

    When you move past the chat-bot phase of AI and look at a true personal digital twin, the shift is from a tool you talk to into an operational proxy that acts as you.

    Instead of waiting around for prompts, a personal digital twin acts as a continuous, stateful extension of your identity, running in the background across your local workstation, cloud services, and real-world infrastructure.

    Here is what that actually looks like in practice.

    Continuous Environmental and Contextual Awareness
    Right now, every AI interaction starts from zero. You have to explain who you are, what project you are working on, and what your preferences are. A digital twin maintains a persistent state model of your day-to-day reality. It tracks the active codebases you are building, your communication patterns, your schedule, and your current priorities. When an event happens—a pull request opens, an email arrives, or a deadline shifts—the twin evaluates it instantly against your real-world context without needing you to manually feed it background info.

    Autonomous Proxy Operations and Comms
    An agent can draft an email if you tell it to. A digital twin handles communication and coordination proactively because it understands your voice, your boundaries, and your ongoing projects. It can triage inbound communications across your channels, negotiate scheduling, and handle administrative back-and-forth based on how you actually operate. It doesn't just sound like you because of a few system prompt examples; it writes and responds based on an evolving model of your actual decisions and historical behavior.

    Sandbox Simulation Before Execution
    One of the biggest limits of current automation is the fear of breaking things. A digital twin changes that by introducing sandbox simulation. If you want to deploy a new infrastructure configuration, refactor a complex system, or launch an automated marketing pipeline, your twin can simulate the entire execution path first against your historical data and constraints. It stress-tests the logic, flags potential failure modes, and models the outcomes in a secure environment before anything touches production.

    Cross-System Orchestration
    Right now, we use a dozen disjointed apps that don't talk to each other well. A digital twin acts as the central nervous system connecting your local machine, your cloud environments, and external APIs. It can spawn, manage, and coordinate tactical sub-agents to handle specific workloads—one agent spinning up a research crawl, another handling local file management, another writing boilerplate—while the twin itself maintains the macro-level vision and ensures nothing drifts off course.

    Ultimately, a personal digital twin isn't something you prompt. It’s an autonomous mirror of your operational workflow that absorbs the friction, handles the execution, and scales your capabilities without requiring constant babysitting.#ai #webdev #devops #architecture #software #coding #development #engineering #inclusive #community

  22. Big Picture Science for Oct. 26, 2026: Scoping Out the Universe

    REPEAT
    Telescopes are like light buckets. The bigger the telescope, the more light collected for astronomers to observe. With recent advances in technology, amateur astronomers can join professionals for a chance to observe stellar nurseries and exoplanets many light-years away. But as our capabilities increase, so do the mysteries, including those around high-energy bursts coming from an otherwise unremarkable part of the universe. Understanding fast radio bursts could turn physics on its head.

    From the Vera Rubin Telescope in Chile to the backyard instruments of amateur astronomers, we share what new things we might learn about stars, the Earth, exoplanets, and the potential for life on other worlds.

    Guests:

    * Clare Higgs – Astronomer working with the public outreach team for the Vera Rubin Observatory
    * Franck Marchis – Senior astronomer and director of citizen science at the SETI Institute, chief science officer and co-founder of Unistellar
    * Amanda Cook – Postdoctoral fellow at McGill University and member of the CHIME/FRB Collaboration
