Toot

Written by funnymonkey on 2025-01-28 at 19:15

So. I started reading AI Snake Oil a while back.

I didn't think it would take long.

I was wrong.

I knew before I started the book that I'd want to take notes as I went through the text.

I ended up building a site with my thoughts before reading the text, my thoughts after reading the text, and notes for each chapter.

Enjoy? Or don't?

Anyways - the site is here: https://snaikoil.com

@funnymonkey And I'm all over the site, thanks Bill. A nomination for best Domain Name of the Year.

Also a h/t for the link to MkDocs

@cogdog And I actually bought the domain back in spring of 2023. I figured -- optimistically, foolishly -- that the GPT fueled hype would die, and when it didn't, I grabbed the domain.

Every time I had an idea for something to do with it, I always found other people already doing it better, so the domain languished.

Until now!

@joebeone I tried to be really transparent about my process and thoughts.

My initial thinking was that I'd just be dashing things down, but it became clear a little under halfway through that I would need to be more precise - both to check my instincts, and to have any hope of someone who isn't me understanding any of this.

And even then, I spent most of January thinking that publishing this would be a Really Bad Idea (tm)

@joebeone I'd love to hear your impression of the text, and on things I got wrong.
