I’m Normie. Can Normies really be an icon?

What mom What it lacks in healthy legs, it makes up for in the Claude Pro subscription. After asking her repeatedly over the past two years about the environmental, political, and economic impacts of artificial intelligence, I brushed it all aside one recent Sunday and headed over to her house. After a bit of talking about the shin, she opened her computer and started emoting.

I’d like to collectively create a joint app that collects and shares information about the amount of time and energy we devote to fighting cumbersome administrative tasks, bureaucratic sludge, Kafka-style opt-out mazes, Byzantine insurance portals, illicit fees, denied claims, confusing membership plans, and the like.

With as much clarity and detail as possible, I proceeded to describe the dashboard that would record the volume and scope of our collective sludge. Users record frustrating events in their lives, entering how much time they spent, how annoying they were, and what they would rather be doing. Each submission will be rewarded with an inspiring Resistance quote and a photo of a kitten, puppy or baby chimpanzee. I will coach Claude to generate some “broader context” – a paragraph discussing how the frustrating incident fits into systemic sludge patterns – and a letter of complaint to the relevant regulatory bodies.

Claude Macaroni. This isn’t the first time I’ve feared that my feelings would simply turn up on a wrong page. I remembered, dimly, some advice I’d seen on Reddit forums: “I should learn how computers and code work first.” “I would consider studying the Harvard CS50.” “Instead of learning AWS or servers, use something like Kuberns.” I began to worry that enthusiast programming was a kind of stone soup: sure, anyone could do it, all you first needed was a Harvard-level understanding of dozens of programming languages ​​and cloud platforms.

This concern lasted about three Kuberns of a second. Claude paused and proceeded to explore what, by nature, he admitted was a fascinating concept: “That’s a great idea – really useful, with a clear mission and a great sense of humor about a real problem. Let me give you an honest lay of the land before we dive into it.”

After clarifying a few questions, I was staring at a real interface. The Incident Log and Dashboard tabs aren’t working yet, we haven’t arranged to save the entries anywhere, and I still need to teach Claude the broader context part. But the beginnings of online application have been achieved.
