YouTube video by Cambigo Flow Cambigo Demo - Creating a Flow

We're close to launch time for @cambigo.com - here's a video that demonstrates creating a new flow and getting a jumpstart on your document using the bulk addition feature.

Codazo is now under development for a full release in the near future so that anyone can host feedback sessions with others. At some point I will see about integrating this capability into Cambigo plans for immediate feedback gathering and incorporation into the user experience you are designing.

Once I had the initial proof of concept, I realized I needed to separate some of the real-time communications into a separate service, so I was able to put on my technical hat and write up the requirements for a specialized API and have this service built and deployed within a few hours.

Using a user experience and workflow built in Cambigo, I was able to drive construction of a proof of concept based solely on my Cambigo document. I was able to focus on the solution as a user, and product owner without getting bogged down in technical details.

A screenshot of Codazo with a dark background. It shows a meeting session with the title "This is a Pro Meeting" and a list of participants. The session has ended and is being redirected to a summary.

While Cambigo has been focused on planning and workflow to build comprehensive user experiences, data flows and workflows, there is a gap that needed to be filled to host collaborative discussions and gather feedback from groups of people.

For the most part I've answered questions at a high level and told it to continue according to the plan. I'm stunned at what has been produced and I'll be releasing that sometime soon. (Sneak peek: codazo.io)

In a few days I wrote a flow for an idea - composed of 58 steps and less than 30% of the detail in each steps, and handed it off to ChatGPT Codex. It actually took a few days for it to work through the flow (and honestly it's still working through the last parts of the most difficult requirements).

I have another component of the system that I've started, but I had to set it aside to get this shipped. Once I release Cambigo, this other system component will help direct AI agents to build a proof of concept, and revise it as you change your flow.

A screenshot of Cambigo showing a list of items that need to be fixed or adjusted in Cambigo. The heading is Cambigo Bug Findings and Enhancements, and shows headings like Problems, Dashboard and Editor.

I'm working through a final list of findings for Cambigo, and I need to resolve a few performance issues. Hoping to have it ready later this week. I'm fixing Cambigo with Cambigo at this point which is pretty cool!

Human and Artificial Intelligence Helping people work together with AI, and continuing education.

People are at the beginning and the end of AI. Dependence upon it means that we risk breaking the beginning.

Parquet Content-Defined Chunking We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

It’s in the Reddit post linked in here: bsky.app/profile/soso...

This is what I've been up to this week. Next week something sharable maybe? We'll see.

Just getting the word out that I'm doing this project. I'd appreciate follows! Subscribe on YouTube too. As of this week I'm a retired federal scientist from HHS, and past innovator at VA and the NWS. I'm trying to get a company going building the informaticist toolkit I wish I had!

Do something at a different location at the same time. Invite sidelined federal employees. Show people the volume of people in our government that have been cast aside, show how it has been broken, tell us the consequences and what we do next. LEAD US NOW!!

How human–AI feedback loops alter human perceptual, emotional and social judgements

"…AI systems amplify biases, which are further internalized by humans, triggering a snowball effect where small errors in judgement escalate into much larger ones."

Would be interested too. Will be getting started soon.

Done! Welcome!

Added! I check most accounts out of curiosity. I follow generously but use this as my primary feed for informatics. Interested to see your LLM book release!

Hi! Any chance you could add a description to your profile? I’ve been skipping over those without one. It might help others too.

I'm not sure of the rate limits, although I have encountered failures responding to longer, more complex questions. I also run ollama locally and use privy in VS Code to connect for a fairly similar GitHub Copilot chat interface and code completion. I'm still looking for a favorite model there.

I've been using the Claude Sonnet model in Copilot, and it has been phenomenally useful for coding tasks in Python. Far better experience over GPT.

Aside: The irony is that as I compose these posts, GenAI is actively suggesting text to me, and the words fit, but they are completely expressionless.
