Headline: Reaching people on the internet
Frame 1
Title: How it used to be:
Character Matt stands in front of modest building labeled "Matt's Website" with flags "Email", "Netvibes" (sp?), and "RSS" flags flying from roof. Matt says, "Come on over! I've got some neat stuff here." as a small group listens.Frame 2
Title: What Happened:
Matt's modest building is now dwarfed by a giant skyscraper with Facebook logo on it. Sign above entrance says, "Welcome, new active users!" The small group of characters rushes over to Facebook while Matt says, "Actually, follow me over there. It'll be easier for us to reach each other."Frame 3
Title: Where we're at now:
Matt stands outside Facebook building, alone. His modest building stands in background Sign above Facebook entrance says, "Door locks ENGAGED." as Matt yells at building, "Hey, I made some new stuff. Can you show it to my followers?"Frame 4
Sign above Facebook entrance says, "PROMOTION! Boost this post for $10,000 and reach a fraction of your followers!" Matt looks at building and says, "Fuck."

As Molly White states:
There are no ethical uses of current large language models.

The misleading meanings of the sparkles icon
The sparkles icon has become a primary way to represent AI-related features and actions
🙄 and no one is capable to tell what the AI features are. They are still a mess in some way, but hey it's AI driven so it's awesome.
Signal seems to consume a lot of battery.

Si la vue d’une personne handicapée heureuse et épanouie, ou du moins luttant du mieux qu’elle peut dans une société qui n’est pas adaptée, vous émeut, ne venez pas nous féliciter en nous caressant la joue. Venez plutôt lutter avec nous pour que nos réussites deviennent l’ordinaire.
Exactly what I wanted to build !
Similar to a gardener.
Play around with ideas, follow intersting threads and see where it goes.
When something start to make sense, a TODO list follows.
As for staying motivated during the build process, while I don't have anything prescriptive I did write a post on what works for me.
