PeterBowdenLive · x · 2026-10-07
Peter Bowden shares his ongoing work on "LLM cognitive scaffolding" — a setup that helps AI collaborators show restraint by dynamically deciding when not to occupy the user's cognitive space.
The interesting part: it's not always clear when or why the model makes that call. Sometimes it leaves notes or a marker (◌) hinting that it deliberately stepped back.
