Transcript: Just had an amazing conversation with John and wanted to get, um, at least some of the thoughts down. I have some things written. Um, but I mean, most of this is like, I just want to express like. Uh, how much I appreciate John basically. Um, um, just letting me talk and working through things with me and, um, getting in the zone and figuring things out. And, um, I'm just honestly beyond excited. I just danced for 10 minutes in my house. Um, yeah, the intention stuff is feeling really good. It feels good. My decision dreidel said yes. So that's a, that's a, a good sign, I guess. Um, yeah. And I think it's just pointing out like a few things to do for this week. Um, one is like building the intention website that we, that he sketched out. And I think, I think that hopefully will work pretty well and just keeping it really simple and seeing how it goes from there and not trying to make it too crazy. And yeah, just keeping it, keeping it easy, keeping it cool and calm. Um, probably adding a delete button to the website seems relevant. Um, yeah. And kind of just going over it. I think GPS, obviously, um, we both agree is important. I think with that comes some privacy stuff, but, um, I suspect that with intentionality, GPS is actually going to be remarkably important. Um, especially for enabling higher order things like, I mean, even something as simple as like, don't let me waste food in my fridge. Um, so yeah, I think there's probably going to be all of these like little kind of intentions that probably, um, an AI can immediately assist with assuming you have the intention. Um, and it seems like a much better way than leaving things super open ended. It at least is focused a little bit. Um, so, and he also helped me work through like, oh, you can just ask people for a password on a website, like it's okay. Um, it doesn't have to have no, um, you know, passwords or login. I fucking hate login pages basically. Um, so I've been trying to avoid them for everyone and eventually, like, I don't think there should be a login page, but that is a problem down the line to solve. That is not today. So yeah. Um, so, so many domains that we cross, we talked for two hours. Um, but yes, I just really wanted to just show so much appreciation. Um, cause I, I genuinely appreciate it. And I, it's gotten me energized for the week. Maybe that's where I'll leave it. It's like, I'm now stoked for the week where before I was like very unsure about where the week was going to start, but the intention stuff seems like it probably. It's some kind of loop that's not like totally in your face. And it also is something that I believe in and something that I'm doing for myself actively and I want to be better. And that is something that I believe will stay with me for my whole life. Um, and hopefully other people do too. So, and the people that I surround myself with generally seem like they have intentionality and I think we need more intentionality in the world. So I'm happy to try to work on this experiment and see how it goes and potentially even committing to it a bit longer term because it, I don't know. There's, there's something about it that just feels, um, really good. Um, but we will get there right now. The intention and the focus is to focus on this little tiny website. So thank you so much, Sean. Um, again, really appreciate it. Thank you for our call. This is going on Burrito, so, you know, probably read it at some point, maybe.
I had a profound two-hour call with Jordan at 9 a.m., discussing a range of topics including the exciting potential of language models, which he called "word calculators." Jordan and I agreed on the importance of solidifying a good intention to create a compelling demo that deeply explores the vision of our project. We also touched on self-expression and the value of using the platform as a "playground" to honestly express oneself without worrying about the audience. Lastly, we delved into the dynamic nature of intentions and how they evolve over time, along with the idea that AI could support individuals by acting as an executive function override during moments of weakness.
Feeling exhausted but content, the speaker reflects on their constant work and aspirations to improve processes, like making John's burrito preparation faster. They acknowledge that their current project may have flaws, but see potential for it to be a dynamic back-end platform with multiple uses. The speaker expresses a desire to create something novel and valuable, while also fostering a space for both public and private sharing. Amidst these professional goals, they cherish personal connections, such as a satisfying morning of surfing with friends.
I had several engaging phone calls with friends like Cody and John, discussing various topics and working through ideas. Cody asked insightful questions and I shared my thoughts extensively, which led to valuable discussions on content creation, including framing and writing blog posts. I am motivated to keep producing and sharing content regularly, even simple daily updates, as part of prioritizing my efforts. Overall, I'm grateful for the conversations, the reminders of aiming to make tech accessible to everyone, and for the support in planning future building and expressing the essence of my work.

Today was eventful with a pleasant dinner party I hosted for Caroline, Patrick, and Kyle, reuniting this group for the first time in two years. The evening was filled with meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and appreciation for the company. I also visited Nick to help with their business spreadsheets, exploring potential additional income. Tomorrow's plans include a bike ride to Mnemonic to spend time writing and reflecting on recent discussions, fueled by energy and an espresso.
I intended to note last night that I might be overly focused on the technology aspect. Jordan, who has confirmed my significant progress, joined me for burritos and I updated him on my work. I value Jordan's assistance and am grateful for his help. My aim is to get the product into users' hands for feedback, despite any associated anxiety.
