Eirdicht

A bet where the digital puck will be

Eirdicht is a bet that AI will be big, it will be disruptive to you personally, and you will soon need serious help to stay afloat. And to do other things too.

The instinct of technophiles is to paper over the disruptions of AI with AI-based solutions. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Until about a year ago, it was trad-coding bandaids layered over trad-coding caused pains. Before that, new layers of bureaucracy was the norm.

Stifled by layers of complication, the historical dynamism of humanity has dimmed. You feel it. You're not doing as much as you could be doing and everyone else can see it. But then, they're not doing anywhere near their best either, and you can see that plainly.

Eirdicht is an effort to resolve this deadlock.

If ever you were asked what you wanted, it is unlikely you would have asked for any of this. Eirdicht is designed around what your true answer would probably be:

"I just want to get by, raise my children according to my values, greet a dozen great-grandchildren, and exit stage left with a flourish.

So either give me tools to help me do that or get the hell out of my way."

Eirdicht: the type of tool that you and the people who matter to you will need to thrive in the shade of strong AI. It's a little technical and a lot philosophical.

Proto-agent: the digital half of a stupidly small and simple agentic "atom". Eirdicht's version is named Telospore.

Proto-harness: the sparse substrate a proto-agent needs to sprout. Eirdicht's version is named Eirdicht. Don't ask.
