AI patterns

This is a note to record AI patterns, in the sense of “heuristics for things that work” (Agentydragon, My Anki patterns, LessWrong, November 26, 2019).

patterns

  • Close the loop
  • Expand the radius
    • Once you have closed the loop, try to make it larger.
  • Empower the agent
    • Connect it to all your tools
  • Collect information
  • Multitask effectively
  • Think in systems
  • Distinguish AI as extension vs AI as assistant
    • E.g. Nathan Labenz’s “second brain” system, involving both an instance of Claude Caude that has access to everything and does only what Nathan says, and an instance of Hermes in a Mac Mini that has restricted access and acts autonomously. The former is just Nathan using AI, whereas the latter is an assistant with their own name, email, GitHub account, etc.
