My AI agent gets his own calendar

This is just blogspam, right? The author even brags about hitting the HN front page in such a short amount of time, in a previous post. All he talks about is his agent (that we are supposed to "know"? arrogant). Not a lot of discussion from him about his results.

Sounds like a natural addition to Agentmail [0]

In general I'd like more services to maintain a wall between me and agent, but then again, we can also let the agents build it.

That's pretty interesting. There have been a couple of occasions now where I wanted to forward emails to my agent. Going to take a deeper look at that.

1h agoHN ↗

How does this gratify anyone's intellectual curiosity?

Guy (micro)blogs that his imaginary friend now has a data structure that apparently mimics a calendar and possibly exposes an ical feed.

Good for them, but why does the internet need to know that?

1h agoHN ↗

I found it kinda interesting, even if it could have been written by an AI with extensive prompting on how to sound human.

I've been pondering a conceptually similar approach for keeping slop out of important git repos. The agent has its own slop repo that it can slop up as much as it likes for R&D, and then I transcribe what works into my clean repo (ensuring I understand it, in the process).

Tbf this is just you - a decent human being that actually has something to say - filling in not just "the blanks" but "the blank". The post of that account trying to build up an identity (see other posts + 0 comments) has nothing to do with that.

One could probably also give you words sampled from /dev/urandom and it might spark an actually interesting thought, but that doesn't give urandom any merit.

FWIW, I've been using a similar workflow as you describe, though the lines have been blurry at times.

59m agoHN ↗

I think you're right, but I also think that some of the best ideas come out of urandom, and the rest is just curation. I didn't find it interesting enough to upvote, but I wouldn't downvote it either.

54m agoHN ↗

urandom has no financial incentive though. It just is. The same can unfortunately not be said about "making it to the HN front page".

But I can see that not everyone is bothered by that as much as I am. Not that I would have any mandate to do so anyway.
