Turns out people who know struggle are far, far more generous than the rich. Plus MacKenzie Scott out there showing everyone else how it should be done. If I had billions, believe me, our family would have deployed half of it already, as we already did: https://blog.codinghorror.com/launching-the-rural-guaranteed-minimum-income-initiative/

@matt5sean3 the technology doesn’t exist to do this. It’s a push from people that know nothing of the technology!

Nothing special, just a small personal project, it is free though and has a new version of my zipper hinge.

@MsMerope Reddit is where I go for all my research, lately. What a reality!

@codinghorror sounds like it’s trying to like diagnose you or something. No one needs that energy in their life! 👀🥹🤣

@codinghorror twas my 7th!! Anniversary. Wool and copper, I am told.

How did you do??

There is so much need now that I have to triage. It's like you wake up every day to someone asking you that unconscionable question "If all your children were drowning, but you could only save one, which one would it be?" Well, what I want is a way for all of us to never have to ask that question again.

Look, I know there is a lot going on, but pick something useful / constructive / helpful that matters to you (and hopefully others) and.. stay on target 🎯

life is a hell of a drug

I liken allowing generative AI / LLM tools to all your critical personal info (calendar, email, socials, etc) as "inviting a vampire inside your home" 🧛‍♂️

"I don't have time to read any of the information you presented, but let me now explain to you why this can't possibly work." ok pal, look, I have data. You have vibes. Data > vibes. If you can't be bothered to read, then I'll have chatgpt read it for you and rebut your vibes in a kind, gentle way.

I'm VERY anti "Remote Learning" on snow days. Snow days are magical and young people should play video games and have snowball fights.

Or go sledding.

And pester their parents who are doing remote office work to make hot chocolate.

Hmph.

Letting AI agents run your life is like handing the car keys to your 5-year-old. What could go wrong?

I was marveling while reading this PCMag piece, which describes how to secure an agentic AI setup that essentially mimics malware: To do it's job properly, the AI agent has to be able to read private messages, store credentials, execute commands, and maintain a persistent state. How do you do that? You chase after it like you would your child.

"The important thing is to make sure you limit "who can talk to your bot, where the bot is allowed to act, [and] what the bot can touch" on your device, the bot's support documentation says."
