Devaluation of AI assistance

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 14:48:48 -0500

This puts a box around a phenomenon I’ve been seeing. While there are real challenges with AI slop, quality AI assisted work is devalued.

Our experiment showed no quality difference in AI-assisted work… This disconnect reveals the path forward—shift from evaluating how work is done to what is accomplished. Replace subjective competence ratings with objective metrics such as cycle time, accuracy, defect rates.

New (to me) boat day! The weather cooperated beautifully…

May is here. Days are ramping up, gonna be a busy time through mid-June…feeling ready for it but lots cooking. High workload at the office, kids activities, longest yet ultra race in June, end of the school year. One step at a time.

Spent a good 3 hours pondering different aspects of some of my upcoming races for the year. I’m thinking about several, but the Kettle Moraine 100k has taken the most mindshare. It’ll be my longest race so far. While I’m confident I’ll be ready, it’s still taking up a fair bit of headspace.

The post-with-image test took a little more work than I’d hoped. The micro.publish plugin didn’t automatically upload the image and update my image link. I needed to upload separately then copy over the markdown myself (less than ideal, but doable)

Trying a second post, this time it’ll be one that includes a picture. This one was from the Ron Daws race I ran earlier today. (see above)

I primarily use Windows for my day-to-day, and Obsidian may be useful for my blogging workflow. Giving it a shot with the micro.publish plugin. This is a test, it is only a test (though I’ll keep it here for posterity).

I’m hoping I’ll be recovered enough to get out running tomorrow. Signs are good based on the game of tag with my kids tonight 🌞

I was today years old when I first saw the Grand Canyon in person. Wow.
