This guy is so well spoken. I'm a big fan of the positive changes AI has made in my life, and optimistic about what good things the future could hold. But we need to move slowly enough that we're designing systems and incentives that protect _people_, not IPOs.

Tool libraries look fantastic. I didn't know about them before watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAniGCwoSv0 but I looked them up and I have a local one that started this year. What a cool way to reduce consumer trash.
I spend so much time typing to AI bots these days that I get a sort of social vertigo when I'm on a support chat with a real human. I already practice being polite with bots because I like to, but when a human is on the other end I have to remember not to be as curt or short as I am with AI.
Kudos to Turo today. I had to cancel a non-refundable trip a few weeks from now, and they allowed me to ask the car’s owner if they were willing to do a full refund. The owner was very understanding, and they give me a full refund right away. Really boosts my willingness to use Turo again in the future.

The kids and I had fun working on Zanagrams together today. It's like a Wordle, but different: https://zanagrams.com/
Whoops, looks like Crusoe’s reporting leaves something to be desired. I went far over my target billing limit before seeing any usage on the dashboard, and before being notified.
