Transcript: I just got off the phone with Matt, and it was a really nice conversation. Just immediately connected. He asked really good questions, I really appreciate that. He gave me a lot of time to speak, and that was really nice. I want to ask him more questions next time. He's just really excellent at it, and got me going. And it seemed like whatever I was talking about with my pipeline seems to resonate with him in terms of experimental testbed. And that is really cool to hear that he's like, let me know how it's going, and yeah, I will. And I'm excited to even hear that feedback of like, yeah, someone else might want to use this, and like, what are the right interfaces, and I'm happy to give it to someone and show them how to use it and how to deploy it. And maybe that's something that I need to, you know, think about more seriously of like, here's how you spin one of these up for yourself. Maybe here's a Docker instance of it, let's see, I don't know. But that might be something worthwhile to do, and yeah. Because like, so far, it's like remarkably stable, too. Not that crazy of a thing. But yeah. Maybe that's even the pitch. It's like, this is a testbed right now, and it's built by developers for developers to figure out what are the right ways to build their AI application. It's not like, because it's not deterministic, like, you can only know so much about your problem until you actually do it. And making experimentation really fast. So yeah, thinking about that, and probably how a module system works, like, more seriously. How do you add steps to the pipeline? How do you expose kind of the output type very easily for someone to be able to modify, or something? Yeah, maybe putting out a pipeline library, that's really simple. I think earlier I had mentioned some improvements to the pipeline system, and I believe it was probably that the output just needs to be in a format that's going to be appended to the overall object in some way. And figuring out the best way to do that. And then, yeah. I mean, I need to think about it more. But it was a really great conversation. I really appreciated everything about it. And I'm excited to talk with him again, probably in a couple weeks, probably in two weeks, and see where things are. Again, I would love to be able to, say, chat with him in two weeks, and get a reminder and a text message. About two weeks. I don't want to set a reminder. So maybe that's a little thing that I'll build in, or something. We'll see. I would like to keep it small and modular. And that is going to start going into not very small and modular, but an opinionated thing. So we'll see. Like, that's stepping outside of testbed. But maybe it's something to implement, actually. So yeah, really, really, really nice talking to Matt.

I had a productive call with Jamie, during which we discussed my ideas and strategies for effectively pitching them. Jamie gave me tips on improving user experience and the importance of showing a polished concept over a rudimentary but functional prototype. We touched on the balance between immediate buildable aspects and long-term vision, emphasizing the importance of clarity in communicating how short-term plans align with the long-term future. I am grateful for Jamie's encouragement and advice, and I'm looking forward to possibly working with friends like Austin to further explore and demonstrate the potential of my ideas.
During a 40-minute call with Tom from Hyperflow, I found the time constraint useful for staying focused and direct. We discussed the concept of searching for a co-founder and our main topic was Burrito. Tom displayed a strong grasp of the current environment, which I found impressive. I am eager to have another conversation to explore any potential concrete products or outcomes that may emerge.
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.

The call with Dave was fantastic, offering a chance to catch up and discuss numerous ideas and possibilities. The overlap in their thinking was clear, and there was a need to condense these thoughts into something more tangible. Much of this is being documented on paper, as it seems easier to process than keeping it all in their head. The speaker expresses gratitude and enjoyment from having such conversations.
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.
