Claude 4.6 and the Commodore 64: When an LLM Writes, Builds, and Playtests Its Own Game I gave an AI agent a 1982 computer, a cross-compiler, and an emulator. It read the docs, picked its own project, wrote an Arkanoid clone in…

AI writes C64 code → compiles → injects into VICE emulator → game plays itself → VLM screenshots and analyzes the screen → AI fixes bugs → repeat.

No human in the loop!

Tested with Claude 4.6 building Arkanoid from scratch.

Social Gardens: Rethinking Digital Spaces for Human Connection Why the Architecture of Social Media Shapes Who We Become

Can AI help us be more human? 🤖

In my new article, I explore "Social Gardens": digital spaces where AI acts as a neutral facilitator (a gardener) to distribute voice and prevent hierarchies, rather than an algorithm optimizing for outrage.

AI amplifies what you already are.

Chaotic? Faster chaos.
Disciplined? Powerful copilot.

Code as Compression: The End of the Implementation Bottleneck A recent article about Claude Code 2.1 made waves in the engineering community, though perhaps for...

Is coding dead? No, it's just being compressed.

In the age of AI agents, source code is becoming an ephemeral artifact—decompressed from high-entropy prompts.

thanks, I'm not the author, i tested it and installed on a commodore 128 with CP/M

hi, yes, you can run vice with a CP/M disk, I tested here in warp mode.

Finally running native CP/M 3.0 on the Commodore 128! 💾

The Hardware way, a real benchmark for the system!

Converting an AI-Generated image (nanobanana in this case) into a 3D-printable model is easy using:

Stop giving AI agents "eyes" to click buttons. Give them terminals.

Visual agents = 20 years of RPA fragility + hallucinations.
Blind agents = 100% success rate in my tests.

The future is headless.

Frontier models design the agent.

Smaller models (30B-120B) do the work.

Deterministic tools guarantee consistency.

Bigger isn't better. Smarter is.

Dug up my old hobby manga drawings from years back. I've been using nanobanana to give them a professional upgrade, and the results are incredible.

Years ago, I used to draw manga just for fun. Recently, I dug up some of my old art and started using nanobanana to enhance it. The results are honestly remarkable!

Here is a comparison of the original sketch vs. the improved version. 🎨✨
