AI Is What You Make of It
Don’t just ask AI for answers. Challenge its reasoning. Ask why. Push back. You might come away knowing more than when you started.

Weekly AI currated plan. | Angelo Technical
Every Monday morning ChatGPT checks my calendar, reviews my notes from last week, and currates a strategy for how I might tackle my week. Including show planning. Gold!
My local AI assistant is named Edward. Today Edward analyzed my Apache access.log
This comes in handy when I want to understand the traffic hitting my site. Running it locally I don't have to move anything. Yes I have Google Analytics but this is more interesting.
Codex vs OpenClaw - I almost dumped Openclaw
Openclaw was my first starting point to anything agent about AI. It was difficult to set up initially but I got it running on an old laptop and connected Open AI. I loved it and thought it was the greatest. Later I discovered Codex and I almost forgot about OpenClaw until Codex could not do something I asked it to which was to browse the web and pull transcripts of YouTube videos for analysis. Openclaw still has its place for now.
Last week I (and AI) built ANGELOTECHNICAL.COM - This week AI is building my field notes.
I have been thinking a lot about how I use AI, how others use AI, and how some folks enjoy learning about other people's ideas. These are my AI field notes. Enjoy!
