• I did another podcast with @tobi. We ended up kinda just geeking out on AI for hours. The members' cut is out: https://t.co/iMzgh5t4aW ... I am worried this episode might be a little too nerdy for everyone, but the feedback from early listeners seems to be: 'This is the best podcast of the year; I need to listen more than once; and I am so far behind on AI.' The public release is Tuesday, and it's a little less in the weeds, but if you want the nerd edition, get the members' cut.

• Man. What a week! Started on a high on the weekend with doing good progress on a secret project and on Monday at work as well. Tuesday, still good progress but also had a quick shocker as a friend didn't answer their phone for 3 hours and we thought something happened to them. And today started with getting the notice that a friend from the local gym died after their cancer returned. 😭 And the whole world politics definitely starts to pull me down more and more. Can't wait for Saturday!
