Transcript: So far, Sand Talk is absolutely excellent and mind-blowing. I've only read, I guess, the introduction and the first chapter. But wow, I guess the concept or thread of yarning and yarning with people, there is something about that that I really enjoy. It's like, I mean, it's the thread thing in and of itself, what it means to be a thread or a yarn. And yarns make up bigger types of things, ropes, fabrics, textiles. So I find that itself to... I find itself to be fascinating is this is one small piece of a larger puzzle. And to be of that tininess, I think, resonates with me. And I think goes to the point he is making about not being greater than, than other people. To me, those things seem very deeply interconnected with each other. And along with that goes, I mean, the thing that comes up, I think, twice, maybe more times, is that Tyson makes objects. Objects or is making objects in the book that are effectively imbued with knowledge. And how he describes this is yarning with someone while also making shields, for example. And that those shields are imbued with the knowledge of the book, effectively. Just like that. Just in the object itself. And to me, that also seems to make a lot of sense. I don't have the words to describe it. It just makes sense. And beyond that is just like you making something to store understanding or store knowledge is an extremely powerful concept. And I think it is worth looking at. Virtually everything that is made to see what understanding is stored within it. It is remarkable to be able to look at anything and understand that there is a lot that goes into it. And that goes down to the tiny rocks that he also talks about at the very end of the first chapter. That we are not better than others. And rocks. And I agree. And I think it's powerful. And maybe one of the things that I found amusing, but also amazing, was their sparring regimen of. Well, you can cut the other person, but the rules of the engagement, the sparring is that. The winner has to be cut the same as the loser. And that makes you reconsider exactly the damage you're doing to someone else. And I think that that's a thing that's worth. A lot. And I love that perspective, generally speaking. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
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.

Listening to Richard Rudd on Rick Rubin's podcast, the speaker reflects on Rudd's description of the Gene Keys project and its connection to the speaker's own experiences, particularly with their "burrito project" that might be aptly renamed "intentional computer". The concept of interconnectedness emphasized by Rudd appears similar to the speaker's journey of intention and the discovery of multiple interconnected paths. The ancient sages are mentioned as preferring silence to avoid misinterpretation of their teachings, highlighting the complexity of articulating such interconnectivity. Finally, the speaker is struck by the resonance of this interconnected feeling, despite its challenging, dynamic, and sometimes confusing nature, even playfully linking these reflections to the concept of microdosing.

AI for Friendship is gaining interest, fueling a creative desire to establish an environment akin to an art studio filled with engaging items. Dave proposed a concept, "14 days of 13 bad posts," to clear out unproductive thoughts, highlighting the importance of community building as seen in Seth Godin's work and the importance of presentation.

The speaker discusses the value of empowering more people with the ability to build their own algorithms for curation in a world overloaded with content. They reflect on their own habits of curation and the conscious decisions behind them, using the example of wearing hobo pants to symbolize a comfortable and satisfactory way of being.

They mention a conversation with Gabe about darning pants, which extends the concept of valuing things, demonstrating care and expressing that something is cherished rather than disposable.
Jeff Bezos discusses the importance of focusing on the "big things" in business rather than being overwhelmed by the "paper cuts," or small issues that can accumulate and harm a company. He emphasizes the need to identify what will not change in the long term and to address ongoing challenges, such as the impact of technology on society and the need for meaningful connections and self-expression. Bezos also highlights the significance of nurturing curiosity and creativity to navigate the evolving world effectively. Ultimately, he suggests that striving to make life more meaningful and purposeful is a timeless and universal challenge facing everyone. The text highlights the desire to make life more meaningful, referencing the Industrial Revolution as an effort to improve the quality of life and allow for more time for other activities. However, it questions whether this goal has been achieved. It also suggests that the potential for meaning already exists and needs to be discovered, recognized, and acknowledged through recognizing the interconnectedness of everything, including the oneness of all things. Additionally, it discusses the parallel between this search for meaning and the extraction of features in computers, implying that the process of manually extracting meaning can eventually be displayed in a user-friendly interface. Spurvis is focused on training data and storing files, and they are considering adding support for videos and photos. They plan to initially store this data with a simple setup and later make it relational and queryable. Additionally, they intend to build a separate frontend client, and they are considering the public accessibility of the content they will add. They also mention the need to figure out how messages will work when added and plan to make a note about it in their notebook.
