I’ll begin with an overly simplistic metaphor. Let’s visualize a ball rolling down a shallow slope. Driven by gravity, it’s seeking the easiest path down. Except the slope is full of ridges, channels, and nubs, and they make the ball bounce and veer in various directions. If we imagine that thinking is something like the … Continue reading "Machine Thinking"| Dimitri Glazkov
I have been on a bit of a kick to get the large language models (LLMs) to generate interesting lyrics for songs. Over time, it’s become quite an adventure, a fun exploration of LLM capabilities. He…| Dimitri Glazkov

Then, after massaging the lyrics a bit, to better fit with the message I wanted to come across, I played with Suno for a bit to … Continue reading "Flexibility of the medium"| Dimitri Glazkov
I think I have a slightly better way of describing a particular moment in a product’s life that I alluded to in Rock tumbler teams, Chances to get it right, and later, Build a thing to build the thing. I call this moment the “bootstrapping phase.” It very much applies to consumer-oriented products as well, … Continue reading "The Bootstrapping Phase"| Dimitri Glazkov
This one is a bit out there, if only to connect some dots and shake loose new insights. Let’s get that distant look in our eyes and contemplate a possibility that may or may not transpire. Let’s al…| Dimitri Glazkov
