I'm working with Claude today to finish Gutenberg Land. Figuring it out as we go along. It can run the app itself because it's browser-based. I look forward to a project that runs on a server so it can run it locally and we can really make things hum. This, if I guess correctly, is how Jake is working with Headless Frontier. He just got the debugger working. Why? I asked, given that we have bigger more immediate priorities, like getting Manila running on Digital Ocean (what a trip that will be) -- he explained that's because he wants the AI bot to use the freaking debugger.

Peter Steinberger temporarily blocked from Claude:

When multiple people asked him why he’s using Claude instead of his employer’s models at all, he explained that he only uses it for testing, to ensure updates to OpenClaw won’t break things for Claude users.

I think there is one of two things going on, maybe both:

  • Anthropic is generally less open, as I blogged about last week.
  • Anthropic is constrained by limited compute, so they optimize for profitable users.

OpenAI’s massive investment in new infrastructure will look either foolish or brilliant depending on how the next year plays out.

The bots are swarming hard today, laying waste to the meadows of the open web. This is what powers vibe-coding. The slop must flow.

I know a young student in Germany who needs to learn about relevance of the Entscheidungsproblem and Alan Turing to today’s work in computation—who should I put them in touch with?

Deshittifying the web, day 2

The perfect app for an AI to do for you is a demo app. Yesterday I wrote about making WordPress boom with new apps for writers that run in the web ecosystem, not as plug-ins, in JS running in the browser, or on the desktop, any desktop, that would work too. Probably would be...

The Lost Art of the Amusing WiFi Hotspot Name, indeed

Dan Q wrote The Lost Art of the Amusing WiFi Hotspot Name and I have to say, among the apartment dwellers such as me, it’s not entirely a lost art. True, there are many very boring default wifi hotspot names. But there are are a handful which have the capacity to amuse. To wit: Casa...

The new ChatGPT Pro at $100/month seems essentially just as good as the previous $200/month plan. It appears to even include Pulse. I’m gonna try to switch to get a feel for the token limits. I could never come close to hitting limits before.

Let's make WordPress boom

New ways to write with WordPress as the back-end. Build an API that combines what wpcom does and storage. Recruit devs to create products for this environment. Anything that might require text editing is a good idea. Gutenberg will be one of these editors. I will provide W...

The AI Great Leap Forward

leehanchung.github.io/blogs/2026/04/05/the-ai-great-leap-forward/

In 1958, Mao ordered every village in China to produce steel. Farmers melted down their cooking pots in backyard furnaces and reported spectacular numbers. The steel was useless. The crops rotted. Thirty million people starved.

In 2026, every other company is having top down mandate on AI transformation.

Same energy.
