Twitter is too fragmented to remember anything. Long-form articles take forever to get through. Official blogs are just product launches. The only way a normal person can keep up with AI is to listen to the people building it talk. Here are the five Chinese and five English podcasts I think are worth the time, plus five ways to actually finish the English ones if you’re not a native speaker. https://www.creaturelove7.com/ai/second-brain-needs-qmd/ Wed, 20 May 2026 03:00:00 -0400 https://www.creaturelove7.com/ai/second-brain-needs-qmd/ Most Obsidian-as-second-brain tutorials skip the part where it breaks: once the vault gets big, Claude Code’s index-based search starts to fall apart. QMD, a local RAG tool by Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke, fixes exactly that gap — hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vector), fully local, free, and a 96% drop in token use. This post covers when to install it and the one prompt that gets it running. https://www.creaturelove7.com/ai/ai-novel-money-makers/ Mon, 18 May 2026 15:30:00 -0400 https://www.creaturelove7.com/ai/ai-novel-money-makers/ Rie Kudan won the Akutagawa Prize, Joe Vasicek cut his book cycle from 2 years to 14 days, Leanne Leeds ships 12-15 books a year at a 4.5-star Amazon average, and Hachette pulled a novel after Pangram clocked it at 78.4% AI-generated. The Sudowrite / NovelCrafter / Claude + Scrivener stack is now the Western mainstream, and the Chinese-language world has nothing equivalent. https://www.creaturelove7.com/ai/harness-engineering-ai-efficiency/ Fri, 15 May 2026 14:07:23 -0400 https://www.creaturelove7.com/ai/harness-engineering-ai-efficiency/ Raw models are no longer enough for serious engineering work. What actually separates mediocre results from great ones is the Harness built around the model: context management, tool execution, task orchestration, feedback loops, and architectural guardrails. https://www.creaturelove7.com/ai/claude-code-beginner-guide/ Sun, 12 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0400 https://www.creaturelove7.com/ai/claude-code-beginner-guide/ After a year with Claude Code, I distilled my workflow into 7 reusable principles. The biggest beginner mistake isn’t lack of skill — it’s treating Claude Code like ChatGPT. Used right, it’s your super-engineer. Used wrong, it’s a hallucinating, lying slacker.
