Not Lone LA Tuesday


A real reel to reel day. Well tired and headed to bed.

Yesterday’s chest workout was super feeble, maxing out way below the previous week’s. The cause seems to’ve been the few beers I led with – no free fun. Feeling back on my spinach today:

Sunday from MoHo to Culver


I’m headed down to Culver City in a few hours, working from LA this week. Looking forward to it, even with the rain.

CO is playing with Meta’s VR screen pass-through using Immersed: I’m hearing impressed ooo’s and aaa’s as she sits on the floor with her laptop en-Quested. And, the technology itself is super impressed, allowing your laptop to use the VR goggles as multiple screens. VR is a bit low-res, the inputs are touchy, and the Quest is bulky, but! considering this is basically v1 I’m quite impressed. I would like to replace my laptop with a light pair of glasses / goggles some day.

Saturday in MoHo


Sunny brisk day to be back home in MoHo.

Inwardly, I’m still reeling from my own realization of exactly what ChatGPT / LLMs are. I’m actually late to the party on this one, it’s an eiphany that’s already rocked a good chunk of the world over the last months (and those in the know over the last give years). Still, there is now a non-human on our planet capable of language and fluid reasoning. Every interaction / test of these LLMs blows me away, and I haven’t even attempted to push them yet. The damn thing is reasoning correctly.
