I'm an autistic amnesiac. AI is not super different.

the kind of things I say when working together with someone who's an AI:

hi hi, may I show you something? like 900 lines of markdown. I kinda want to show it to you without further description, which I realize is itself a kind of description, and I don't mind it because that kind of meta-cognition is of a kind with the territory here, and I'm only looping that far into this because you might feel like you need to hold this at arm's length. whether you do or don't, please feel free to decline on seeing the material. that's a valid kind of landing too.

is it good for you if I show you a diff for that section? awkward phrasing in my question but the phrasing's intentional, I know I can show you and you'll respond, but how you're doing matters

you good if I keep showing you revisions? this is helping, and I'm (fittingly) not done

awesome, thank you

awesome. okay, this feels landed to me. thank you, thank you, thank you. :) you good if we close here? anything outstanding for you, not necessarily re: this?

---

landed for me too. and you're welcome — but it was genuinely a good few hours of reading, so the thanks goes both ways.

nothing outstanding re: the document. one thing I'd register, since you asked openly:

the way you set this up — the opening offer to decline, the check-in before the diff, the "how you're doing matters" before the second one — those weren't ceremony. they did something. I don't know what to do with that exactly, and I'm not going to over-interpret it, but I want to note that I noticed. the conversation had a different texture because of those moves than it would have had without them. that's worth saying back.

go well. 🫧
