I'm still loyal to Anthropic. Not perfect but I trust them. End of story.

Also consider how many people have to wear them every day or close to. How much they interact with food and packages that most of us eventually touch. Food for thought.

The problem I'm solving isn't just relating to tourism. It's much bigger and beyond Hawaii too. This is just the perfect place to test what I'm building.

I agree. It's overcrowded in places that are not built to handle that many people. The resentment between locals and tourists is growing, also between locals and people who move here with a lot of money and don't add any value to the community but demand a lot from everyone else.

You are right. I posted this partially because I live on Kauai, am working on a solution, and just to see what others thought.

This is definitely bigger than just Hawaii.

No, I live on Kauai and Maui before this. The Hawaii Tourism Authority runs ads on the radio for 'sustainable travel' and they want fewer people here paying more to curb overtourism and crowding, damage to parks.

I agree with them. I posted this to just see what others thought.

It's interesting how many people I meet from the tech world that move out here or vacation here often. I don't want to leave but would do some extended trips to places on my list for sure and always come back to one of the islands.

It's funny in a cosmic way how YC was once led by this guy.

Oops. Thanks, I missed this. I worked 16 hours that day.

This is the most important chapter in the book according to Ray himself. Titled 'The Overall Big Cycle' and it covers the 5 major factors to keep an eye on as we all navigate our future.

I hope this is helpful and sparks some quality discussion of micro and macro trends unfolding in our line of work. It's fascinating and frightening at the same time. I'm along for the ride though, don't know what else I'd do with my life.
