Today's events included experiencing a typhoon with Ray after visiting Highland. We had extensive discussions about access, particularly why Ray could or couldn't have access to certain areas. I'm motivated to ensure that safe access is made possible in San Diego. Additionally, the idea of creating a SoCal highliner boulder fund caught my attention, and although I'm short on time, I'd be willing to organize it if necessary.

While driving to Irvine, someone called our car a "toaster on wheels" and accused us of techno-fascism. The encounter was surprisingly pleasant; the man wasn't angry, just sharing his opinion, and we all ended up smiling. Despite not fully agreeing with him, I recognize that our world is far from perfect and can feel dystopian, especially within my field of work. However, I believe it's crucial to avoid authoritarianism and censorship by technology companies, and to strive for a more distributed platform for governance, in the spirit of what the Internet originally was.

The speaker is reflecting on the use of local large language models and the potential impact on the technology industry. They contemplate the reasons behind using local AI and express a desire to delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, they explore thoughts about their future aspirations of potentially becoming a venture capitalist and their excitement for shaping potential futures. The speaker also ponders about whether large language models will be implemented locally on devices and considers the potential influence of companies like Apple on the hardware market. They discuss the uncertainty around upcoming software development kits and the need to prepare for that transition. The speaker concludes with a remark about the thick fog outside and indicates a temporary pause to focus on driving.

The surfer had a somewhat disappointing day at Swami's, despite getting out early and having two boards with him. He decided to surf with the longboard and without a leash, which turned out to be a bad move as the surf was mixed up and not suitable for a longboard. He struggled to hold onto his board during a big set, losing it several times. He took some rough falls and learned the hard way that it was a mistake to go out without a leash. Despite the challenging conditions, he still considered it a decent day because any day that allows him to surf is a good day.

This led to a tense exchange where the speaker challenged the representative's commitment to valuing founders versus purely focusing on financial metrics. Feeling disillusioned, the speaker is left with a distaste for these disengaged "NPCs" and remains focused on their vision of fostering creative and engaging spaces.
