When AI Models Learn to Learn: Continuous Knowledge Without Catastrophic Forgetting Dream pruning enables multi-domain learning while preserving existing capabilities

When AI Models Learn to Learn

I taught a 1.5B model logic after math. It didn't forget. +18 points logic, math core intact, zero catastrophic errors.

Dream pruning as continual learning.

Dream Pruning: What Happens When AI Models Sleep Biologically-inspired consolidation produces balanced intelligence in LLMs.

"Dream Pruning: What Happens When AI Models Sleep"

SVD compression inspired by deep sleep. The compressed 1.5B model beats the full one: 69.4% vs 56.9%. Zero catastrophic errors.

The Death of Coding is an Illusion: A Field Guide to the AI Orchestration Era Stop treating LLMs like magic oracles. Start engineering them like distributed systems.

Coding isn't dying. The "code scribe" is.

Senior devs accept MORE AI code, not less. The real skill now is orchestration: breaking problems, delegating to AI agents, evaluating output.

Good point, but the model doesn't just "know it's wrong" β€” it delegates to a deterministic calculator. So effective production accuracy = 33% solved internally + 100% tool accuracy on the rest β‰ˆ 100%.

The 61% model never delegates. It hallucinates on the other 39% with full confidence.

What if AI Models Learned Like Humans Do?

Standard fine-tuning: 61% accuracy, 0% metacognition.
Progressive training: 33% accuracy, 100% metacognition.

I asked Claude Opus 4.6 to invent a Commodore 64 game from scratch. It designed METEOR STORM, wrote 1,654 lines of C, debugged its own memory crash, and shipped in 90 minutes. One human hint.

AI writes C64 code β†’ compiles β†’ injects into VICE emulator β†’ game plays itself β†’ VLM screenshots and analyzes the screen β†’ AI fixes bugs β†’ repeat.

Social Gardens: Rethinking Digital Spaces for Human Connection Why the Architecture of Social Media Shapes Who We Become

Can AI help us be more human? πŸ€–

In my new article, I explore "Social Gardens": digital spaces where AI acts as a neutral facilitator (a gardener) to distribute voice and prevent hierarchies, rather than an algorithm optimizing for outrage.

Is coding dead? No, it's just being compressed.

In the age of AI agents, source code is becoming an ephemeral artifactβ€”decompressed from high-entropy prompts.

Stop giving AI agents "eyes" to click buttons. Give them terminals.
