AI can generate code faster than any human I've met. But it often lacks what we might call EQ for engineering: it doesn't know when to stop, it forgets promises, it drifts from context. That's not malice--it's the nature of the tool. The burden falls back on us to create a structure where AI's speed doesn't outrun our ability to review.
The Quilt Platform serves as a robust starting point for building the Littoral Toolbox, aligning closely with the goals of Littoral Science—collaborative, AI-powered, interdisciplinary research. With features like data versioning, cloud integration, verifiable data packaging, and metadata management, Quilt provides the essential building blocks for the Littoral Toolbox’s v0.
Prompt: What would a Littoral University designed from first principles around abundant computational intelligence differ from what we have today? The emergence of a Littoral University, grounded in AI-driven, interdisciplinary research and lifelong learning, would profoundly disrupt the traditional funding models of higher education. Tuition would move from degree-based payments to subscription and modular learning, catering to a diverse range of learners over their lifetimes. Research grants would shift from discipline-specific funding to problem-oriented and global collaborations, supported by AI’s ability to facilitate efficient, cross-disciplinary projects.
The profound truth here is that we cannot control other people. We can only honestly and gracefully fail, if we are not getting what we need to succeed.

In many ways, Western Christianity is now a solution in search of a problem. We are a victim of our own success, having effectively worked ourselves out of a job by eliminating the "pain points" of Judaism, paganism and animism while diffusing most of our benefits into the culture. Like a technology-centric startup, we now find... Continue Reading →
