Stay tuned

Systems like @boardyai are your future co-pilots in your job search, in fundraising, and in generally meeting useful contacts for all the work you do.
I believe in the careful usage of AI as a co-pilot as Ethan Mollick says in Co-intelligence and Boardy fits that for me in what the system does and how it responds.
That's just what I believe being a power user for quite some time.
Thanks @boardyai team and @andrewdsouza
No this is not sponsored. Not atm.

the funny part about all of this is skill with narrative and grasping taste will become exponentially more important than it is now over time

Got it ready once again, starting with another D&D method acting group this year.

When it comes to getting better at just about anything, realize that there is no secret. It's about putting in the work.
There are no magic routines, workouts, or any of that junk that will get you better.
And we're all doing just about the same kinds of work.

This is one of the most important pieces of our time
Deep diving on @PoeticHQ loving everything I've learned so far
Return on Tokens = (Value of Output - Cost of Tokens) / Cost of Tokens x 100
Thinking is expensive but happens rarely. Doing is cheap and happens forever.
Agents should do the thinking, code should do the doing.
From the @markiewagner @packyM essay.

What I'm writing, fiction wise:
They went to sleep as expendable laborers in a dying town; they woke up as the most hunted people on the continent. The story follows five friends plunged into a brutal winter wilderness, carrying the heavy burden of an ancient, world-altering magic that is slowly tearing their minds and bodies apart. With terrifying cults and rival empires closing in from all sides, their only hope for survival is to uncover the lost secrets of their own power before the magic consumes them.

Many leading media companies in tech are seriously padding their views/reach with bots etc.
There is space for something new

And you have to hate dwelling on failure.
Learn from it
Bounce back
Efficiently and quickly

You can hate showing up on time, being consistent, doing what you said youβd do and a hundred other things.
You can hate all of it.
You just have to hate losing, more.

I have to agree
LATAM has part of my heart always
as do all of my friends from there and from other countries who were building in Buenos Aires last year

i absolutely love latam crypto builders
out of all the cultures i've worked with, these people are probably the most hard-working and the most fun. when the corpo world runs on fiat, they actually use crypto. they show up to weekend hackathons, befriend you instantly, and host the best dinners and asados. local teams feel like families built on shared values, and their optimism never fades even in bear markets
i promise I'll speak the language(s) to fully blend in one day <3

Major cheat code for life: Master the art of the fresh start. From a bad morning. From a bad interaction. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.

An easy way to get unstuck is to get up and take a walk.
We generate more creative ideas during and after walking outdoorsβand even on a treadmill facing a blank wall.
Divergent thinking rarely happens when we're tethered to a desk. Moving our bodies frees our minds.

Late night weekend thoughts
For those of you who don't know I became sober in 2011 while beginning to write a character-driven, gritty fantasy novel, published it, then had our original publisher steal all of our earnings and try to steal our IP
15 years later still sober
never gave up on the idea of a series of novels to create my own world, as a love letter to all the books I've read
Now: writing a new novel, still fantasy, grittier, deep characters, magic with real costs
Last year, an agent tried to sign me for my biography
Not doing that, lol, at least not uet
enjoying it, the writing life
Gn friends
