This was great timing for IBM employees with RSU's. Many folks had RSUs which literally unlocked this morning.

secrets, too.

Org's already knee deep in vault / vault-agent for PKI and secrets wont be eager to switch.

If you're a offline kind of guy, try LM Studio + Cline :)

/not affiliated with cline, just a happy user

the context limits on google are nuts! Being able to pump 2 million tokens in and having it cost $0 is pretty crazy rn. Cline makes it seamless to switch between APIs and isnt trying to shoehorn their SAAS AI into a custom vscode (looking at you cursor)

vscode + cline extension + gemini2.0 is pretty awesome. Highly recommend checking out cline. it quickly became one of my favorite coding tools.

I personally write myself a letter once a year around new years. Covers what happened over the last year, my 3-5-10 year plans, goals, family/friends/health, photo of myself, etc.

Then the next year rolls around and I compare the current year to the previous year, see if I am hitting my goals & trending in the right direction. Helps me hold myself accountable.

I have to ask, why use 3rd party booking sites at all? From what I can tell, the prices are usually the same as the hotel... needlessly adding middlemen into the booking process.

I doubt reddit itself runs the bot farms that enable modifying public perception.

> As a cultural critic, I have always been wary of the impact of technology on human communication and understanding. While AI and ChatGPT are impressive technological innovations with many potential benefits, they also carry significant risks. One of the main concerns is the potential for AI to further erode human-to-human communication and understanding, as people rely more on technology to communicate with each other. Additionally, there is a risk that AI could be used to manipulate public opinion or reinforce existing biases and prejudices. It is important that we carefully consider these risks and work to mitigate them as we continue to develop and implement AI technologies.

I asked chatGPT what it thought Neil would have thought.

yeah -- the concept of world ID if it worked is actually pretty interesting. I just dont trust Sam Altman/crypto/private industry to do it safely.

Yeah I agree. Singling out the largest player is silly. We've basically given different nations the ability to control the thoughts of society. Social media hasnt been organic for a long time. Organic social media grows until it is consumed by bots and bad actors.

I dont think removing social media is a solution. I do think some sort of realID for social media that could identify every user is real & a certain age would be beneficial (think Worldcoin but not done by a private entity). I think this alone would solve a large issue around social media. The other requirement that should exist is some balanced discussion to remove the echo chamber effects. Amplifying only certain thought patterns is dangerous.

Take reddit for example. A single bot farm with 100 or so accounts can effectively manipulate entire communities.
