Had a thought, and I must put it out here:
Over the past year, building with LLMs, I ve noticed that the big change is not necessarily that AI gives us better answers. Change your perspective and think like this: we, humans, are starting to ask better questions. And here's why:
When search engines dominated, we asked:
What is X?
How do I do Y?
Best tools for Z?
With LLMs, the questions are different:
Help me think through this decision.
Challenge my assumptions.
What am I not seeing?
Act as a product strategist and critique this.
Clarify my messy thinking.
That s not getting the information, that s cognitive augmentation.
I feel we re moving from:
Finding knowledge to extending reasoning
And this raises bigger questions for builders:
1. Are we designing AI tools that optimize for answers
or for better thinking?
2. Is the real advantage having a stronger model...
or asking better questions?
3. In a world where everyone has access to GPT-level intelligence,
does leverage come from prompting skill, system design, or taste?
4. What new human skills become valuable when execution becomes cheap?
It feels like we re entering a phase where:
Curiosity > credentials
Clarity > speed
Systems thinking > single outputs
If you re building in AI right now:
What types of questions are your users asking that they couldn t (or wouldn t) ask before?
And are you building for answers or for thinking?
Would love to hear what patterns you're seeing.

Hot take on AI: The best AI tools will be invisible.

I used to think the best tools were the ones that had lots of features.

But making a tool disappear is more powerful than building endless features.

I d like to share iPhotro v4.0.0, a free and open-source, local-first photo manager that recently gained a set of advanced color grading tools.

This release focuses on giving photographers precise control over color and tone, while keeping a clean, non-destructive workflow and a familiar, macOS-like interface.
