AI tool: Replit (Pomodoro Timer app)

Replit AI – Turn natural language into apps and websites

Ask for an app and watch it get built. Deploy right away and share with the world.

Replit Agent
  • Quickly go from idea to working prototype
  • The best tool for ANYONE — both technical & non-technical creators
  • See an app or website that inspires you?
  • Simply screenshot, upload, and Agent will build it

app generated with a simple prompt
it worked perfectly as stand-alone web app
but to run inside of blogger needed solid help from Gemini AI

Pomodoro Timer

Stay focused and productive

Evolution of AI Agents? Complicated vs Complex (Biology)

Bret Weinstein - Wikipedia
is an American podcaster, author, and former professor of evolutionary biology.

Bret Weinstein pinpoints the danger with AI agents in that
people do not understand the difference between
complicated systems, which we can master to do anything we ask them to, and 
complex systems, which are emergent and unpredictable, 
will do things we can't even imagine now, and we won't be able to master.

evolutionary biology is complex
computing used to be just complicated, with AI LLMs it is also becoming complex


"One of Weinstein’s key concerns is that people often try to apply complicated thinking—appropriate for mechanical, engineered systems—to complex systems. This mindset assumes that complex systems can be fixed or controlled by making adjustments to individual components, without considering the ripple effects that might emerge. This mechanistic thinking is deeply flawed when dealing with systems like the environment, human societies, or economies, where interactions between variables are dynamic, multifaceted, and not easily reducible to simple cause-effect relationships."


AI is "Standing on the shoulders of giants" (human knowledge)
eventually it will be able to "see further" than humans

Isaac Newton"if I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

very insightful "podcast" discussion

 AI AGENTS EMERGENCY DEBATE: These Jobs Won't Exist In 24 Months! We Must Prepare For What's Coming! - YouTube @ The Diary Of A CEO

"Will AI and AI agents replace God, steal your job, and change your future? Amjad Masad, Bret Weinstein, and Daniel Priestley debate the terrifying warning signs, and why you need to understand them now.  In this debate, they explain:  ▫️Why AI threatens 50% of the global workforce. ▫️How AI agents are already replacing millions of jobs and how to use them to your advantage. ▫️How AI will disrupt creative industries and hijack human consciousness. ▫️The critical skills that will matter most in the AI-powered future. ▫️What parents must teach their kids now to survive the AI age. ▫️How to harness AI’s power ethically."

Mojo & MAX: Next-Gen AI GPU Programming

After creating compiler toolset (LLVM, Clang) used by many modern programming languages,
(C/C++, Swift, Rust, Kotlin...), now making Python derived (superset) Mojo language that could be 10x faster...

This is a legitimate alternative for NVIDIA CUDA.

A good presentation
