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

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…

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.

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.

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.

Frontier models design the agent.
Smaller models (30B-120B) do the work.
Deterministic tools guarantee consistency.
Bigger isn't better. Smarter is.

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!
