Intentional AI

David hands his email to AI, tries the Big Swing, fails, and lands on a system that works. Plus Gemini Notebook, Claude Opus 5, and Siri AI finding an airport lounge.

David and Chris map four dragons waiting at the edge of the AI map: false confidence, scope creep, becoming the donkey, and surrender.

This week, Chris and David chat about Skill files—the text files of instructions that your robot assistant can use to complete tasks for you. They also dig into Anthropic's Fable model, and Chris's fancy home dashboard that he programmed using AI.

David and Chris make the case that context, not the model, decides whether your robot helps or flails. They get practical about how to take advantage of context to get more fom AI.

Chris Bailey and David Sparks chat about the four essential parts of a useful AI system: the harness, context, memory, and reach. They also discuss Apple's recent WWDC announcements—including the new Siri AI.
