Vansh’s Tech Notes

I am vansh. I like niche books and generic comedy movies.

Here are some blogs and books that I discovered either during or right after college. They heavily inspired this blog and my writing style in general.

Blogs:

• https://brooker.co.za/blog/
• https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/
• https://gregbrockman.com/

Books:

• Born Standing Up, Steve Martin
• My Years at General Motors, Alfred P. Sloan
• The Argumentative Indian, Amartya Sen
• Bossypants, Tina Fey (this is admittedly an odd one, but few people have reduced something as ambgious as comdey into a formula and yet kept the creative magic alive)

As of 2025, my blog is still sparse, but I like to keep a list of pending posts here for accountability:

• AI Safety is Not Above Your Paygrade
• UX/Inuition/LLM/Co-Star(?)
• LLM/Memory/Evals
• Review of Steve Martin’s ‘Born Standing Up’

• 2025/07/21 Chat as Primary Interface; And Why It’s Not Enough
• 2025/07/08 Safety: Why your AI should have a Girlfriend
• 2025/07/01 Disrupting the Arena (b2b saas)
