The view from my door. Day vs Night. Those white dots are stars…

The past two months have taught me to continue following my joy, even when things look crazy. The setbacks are a set up for something even better if you keep moving in the direction of what you want.

I went through some old pictures recently and with all the shifts that have happened over the past two years, it was a nice stroll down memory lane. I've been quiet for a minute, I'm slowly stepping out my cocoon and continuing to honor my life's rhythm and flows.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”

Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.

The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

For those interested in politics, don’t ignore AI. AI models will further change politics into something that is probably unrecognizable.

Just like a TikTok algo can get what it wants in front of you, campaigns will figure out how to get information to get you to vote , OUTSIDE of your phone/PC
Remember when we were arguing about the term "foundation models"? It feels like ages ago! With those base models culminating in DeepSeek v3 in Dec 2024, 2025 will likely be the year of LLM specialization!

Anyway, I will be writing about it more soon :).

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day."

When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

A truth I’m currently exploring: we are always on time, and we can never truly get life "wrong," even when it feels like it. The things we don’t like or are unhappy with point us toward what we do like and what will make us happy.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

As appealing as leaving the country is to those who can, please think about what your moving in droves to these countries will do for the locals and their local economies. Don't be the Americans that complain about Mexicans happily playing music on THEIR BEACHES or street corners.

Not me realizing that the people most critical of ChatGPT use the free version. BABES!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Before I talk to people about ChatGPT and other AI tools… that’s going to be my first question.

I used the free version and my brain couldn’t understand the “basic” outputs I was getting.

My heart goes out to King's family today as they must (again) endure seeing those who seek to ruin the lives of folks who look like them use their father/grandfather's words in vain.

Who gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund?

-Each of the 5 biggest tech firms
-The CEOs of Uber & OpenAI
-Auto giants Toyota, Ford, & GM
-Drugmaker behemoth Pfizer

Corporate America is desperate to kiss the ring.

There's nothing they won’t do for a tax break.

I’m giving myself an assignment that I’m pretty sure is going to take a lot to pull off. I want to document all my posts from October of 2023 to date.

I’m seeing posts where people are attempting to rewrite history. It doesn’t sit well with me. We know what we saw. AND WE SAW WHAT WE SAW.

Kind of a funny suggestion when you know Hans Asperger was a Nazi psychiatrist who supported exterminating autistic people precisely because they typically LACKED the characteristics (eg ability to read social cues, need for social approval) required to make people submit to supremacist groupthink.

Just read "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" aloud in its entirety to my family. Each time I read it, I'm stopped in my tracks several times at its profundity.
