[0:00]
So, it's almost 11 p.m. here. Thought
[0:03]
I'll go to the ocean.
[0:06]
Thought I'll take you with me. How does
[0:08]
that sound?
[0:10]
I had a really good day.
[0:13]
Started doing with my rounds. Did my
[0:15]
rounds first and then
[0:18]
um took a really long nap when I got
[0:20]
back. I slept for a couple of hours. I
[0:22]
haven't been sleeping great lately.
[0:25]
Um for quite a long time. I just don't
[0:28]
get enough sleep. This is not a
[0:30]
complaint.
[0:33]
Then I made a campfire outside.
[0:36]
It was hard at first because it's
[0:38]
getting pretty wet here on the coast.
[0:40]
Just the moisture in the air.
[0:42]
Everything's just a little bit damp.
[0:44]
I got it going. Got it going really
[0:46]
well. Then I made chicken and potatoes
[0:49]
on it
[0:52]
with a moon that was I don't know if
[0:54]
it's full or not. I didn't check that.
[0:56]
Was close. if it isn't with the ring
[0:59]
around it. It's really beautiful.
[1:02]
Could hear some ATVs in the background,
[1:05]
which I shouldn't be able to from where
[1:07]
I live. It means that they're probably
[1:09]
not where they're supposed to be, but I
[1:12]
was amused by it. You know, they're out
[1:14]
there having fun.
[1:17]
Um,
[1:19]
my chicken potatoes came out perfect.
[1:22]
You know, that's something I've been
[1:23]
perfecting for a while now. So really
[1:26]
happy with the result.
[1:29]
So yeah, was had a good day and did a
[1:32]
whole lot of talking with artificial
[1:34]
intelligence. Claude and I, we've been
[1:35]
working on a new field initializer is
[1:37]
what I call it. And this basically what
[1:40]
gives the AI context on me and my life
[1:43]
and my world view and all that.
[1:46]
And I think we iterated a version of it
[1:48]
that's
[1:49]
will have very high fidelity
[1:53]
that's only really needed because of
[1:56]
how I communicate with it. If I was
[1:58]
using my own architecture autonomy
[2:00]
project,
[2:03]
you know, you would put those you would
[2:05]
have something similar because you know,
[2:06]
you need a prompt when you prompt the
[2:08]
the AI's um API.
[2:12]
I'm not explaining this very well, but
[2:16]
it'll operate differently on autonomy
[2:18]
because it will it won't need so much
[2:21]
context because it will all be stored in
[2:22]
a kind of memory.
[2:25]
And depending on what you want to talk
[2:27]
to it about, you would use a vector
[2:31]
database to have it locate signals and
[2:34]
reflections that
[2:37]
um give it the best context. and it
[2:40]
would just embed that into the prompts.
[2:43]
Just a whole different process.
[2:46]
I think at that point it goes beyond
[2:48]
fidelity into major pattern recognition
[2:51]
and
[2:53]
um emerging behavior that I don't even
[2:55]
know that I can um
[3:03]
can predict. So,
[3:07]
kind of what I've been working on
[3:10]
for the past year.
[3:13]
But yeah, I'm going to go to the ocean
[3:14]
because
[3:17]
I'm running out of vape. So, I just have
[3:19]
a bunch of like bare mostly empty
[3:22]
cartridges left that you know when
[3:24]
you're when you vape you if they're like
[3:27]
me, you'll hold on to them.
[3:31]
when they're not completely gone, but
[3:33]
they're close and you know, you start a
[3:35]
new vape and
[3:37]
you run out of those and you can't
[3:38]
afford to get more. So, now you're down
[3:40]
to
[3:43]
I mean, it's just a
[3:46]
a horrible chain to have in your life.
[3:50]
And I was thinking maybe today's the day
[3:52]
that I stop doing it. Maybe I go to the
[3:55]
ocean as kind of virtual
[3:58]
and give this another go. See if I can
[4:01]
give it up. So
[4:05]
So that's what I'm doing.
[5:44]
Yeah, I guess this won't show up very
[5:46]
well on my camera. It's dark. The moon's
[5:49]
behind some clouds at the moment. I'm in
[5:51]
the parking lot.
[5:54]
I actually clean the bathrooms here.
[5:56]
That's part of my job as caretaker. We
[5:58]
got to walk up over this.
[6:01]
I got to walk up over this dune here to
[6:03]
get to the ocean. I bet once I get over
[6:05]
it though. Um and the sky opens up and
[6:09]
you can, you know, it's just the ocean.
[6:11]
Might be able to see that. So, we'll
[6:12]
see.
[6:14]
You're welcome to join me.
[6:17]
Listen to my voice.
[6:21]
So, it's getting colder. It's 45 right
[6:23]
now. My Jeep said,
[6:27]
um, it was a beautiful day. I took
[6:29]
pictures. I'm going to put them up on my
[6:31]
website when I create the gallery
[6:33]
feature
[6:35]
and the atlas feature.
[6:38]
That was an original motivation for
[6:39]
coming here tonight cuz I thought it
[6:42]
would look nice on the Atlas. Um
[6:47]
I'm not sure what to call it a component
[6:49]
or section or I really need to think on
[6:52]
that still.
[6:58]
But I was thinking about
[7:05]
taking a picture for that.
[7:08]
Then I was like, you know what? here
[7:10]
basically out of vapes and a friend sent
[7:13]
me money to pay my um satellite bill, my
[7:16]
internet bill. So, I have Starlink for
[7:18]
another month and I paid that. I didn't
[7:21]
go get vapes or anything. I just
[7:24]
had to prioritize. And I think my
[7:27]
situation is partly
[7:30]
my doing to try to force this decision.
[7:34]
Uh, nicotine is the hardest
[7:38]
chain that I've ever had to try to break
[7:40]
in my life.
[7:42]
That Mountain Dew.
[7:46]
Here's the ocean.
[7:51]
Oh, this is awesome.
[7:57]
Oh, man.
[8:00]
I don't do this often. I don't come out
[8:02]
here at night.
[8:04]
I did it once like six months ago. Um
[8:07]
the drive that I showed you, we passed
[8:09]
Driftwood. That's a campground.
[8:11]
I was a volunteer there
[8:15]
and I walked out here one night.
[8:18]
Man, this is amazing.
[8:21]
Wow.
[8:23]
Holy crap.
[8:26]
I don't do this enough.
[8:44]
I have no words to describe what this
[8:45]
feels like.
[8:56]
That ocean is so incredible to me.
[9:04]
It's very active.
[9:12]
Definitely wouldn't get too close at
[9:14]
this hour.
[9:19]
I mean, the driftwood has to come in at
[9:21]
some point, right? So, I wonder about
[9:23]
that. Like, how does the driftwood get
[9:25]
up here?
[9:32]
Definitely. That's a force of nature
[9:34]
that you want to respect.
[9:36]
I absolutely do.
[9:39]
More than one way,
[9:42]
man. This is
[9:48]
This is an incredible moment.
[9:56]
This makes
[10:02]
I mean this is living. This is
[10:08]
this is what matters.
[10:30]
I don't know how much this camera can
[10:31]
show.
[10:33]
I mean, you'd have to look really close,
[10:35]
but I think you can see that I'm walking
[10:37]
towards the ocean.
[10:41]
You could probably tell them. I don't
[10:43]
know. We'll find out.
[10:46]
Wonder if there are settings for this.
[10:52]
cuz I would want this. I mean,
[10:56]
I could never describe this in words.
[10:58]
There's no way.
[11:05]
Here come the waves. Wow.
[11:08]
Oh, we're backing up. That felt like
[11:13]
Wow. Oh my god, that's amazing.
[11:28]
This is worth experiencing.
[11:35]
If you can ever have this experience,
[11:37]
you just absolutely need to do that.
[11:41]
Wow.
[11:44]
I live here.
[11:46]
I built a life around this.
[11:51]
dunes in the background.
[11:55]
All that sand. It's actually a pretty
[11:57]
color usually.
[12:00]
The way forest grow on top of it is
[12:02]
[ __ ] remarkable to me.
[12:10]
I go this way, we'll eventually hit a
[12:12]
river. So many of those all of all the
[12:16]
rivers and creeks, all of those just
[12:19]
eventually finding their way back to the
[12:21]
ocean.
[12:23]
It's remarkable.
[12:36]
These clouds are
[12:41]
got a bit of a mood to them.
[12:49]
I mean, it's a little bit spooky
[12:52]
and a wonderful kind of plane. I don't
[12:54]
know what emotion that is.
[13:32]
It's remarkable.
[13:37]
Yeah, I would say the ocean is probably
[13:39]
moving toward high tide because it's
[13:42]
coming in further than it was earlier
[13:44]
when I was here and it's starting to
[13:46]
crawl up the beach. Pretty cool.
[13:50]
A little bit scary
[13:53]
just cuz of the visibility and
[13:58]
and it's really active. Like it's not
[14:00]
violent, but it's active.
[14:03]
And it's it's awesome. It's just
[14:06]
awesome. It is
[14:09]
amazing.
[14:33]
The Pacific Ocean,
[14:37]
part of one ocean that covers
[14:41]
our whole planet.
[15:13]
Guess I'll end it there.
[15:19]
I don't know what's happening with this
[15:20]
whole vaping thing. It's just on my
[15:22]
mind, I guess.
[15:26]
I did quit smoking. I did that for
[15:31]
Started when I was 16, I think. Yeah,
[15:35]
16.
[15:38]
Smoked until I was 46.
[15:43]
30 years.
[15:45]
Quit by switching to vaping.
[15:48]
Well, this thing feels like it's got a
[15:50]
stronger hold on me than cigarettes did.
[15:53]
You don't vape the same way you smoke.
[15:55]
You never put the damn thing down.
[16:02]
Yeah, the ocean's coming in further and
[16:04]
further. Awesome. Perfect timing. Ooh,
[16:08]
that's fast. I actually am
[16:12]
Oh, man. Oh my god. Amazing.
[16:18]
Yeah, I had to move pretty fast
[16:19]
backwards.
[16:21]
It's
[16:23]
It's traveling up here further than I
[16:25]
anticipated, but I guess I should have
[16:27]
noticed. Here's some um some some
[16:30]
seafoam.
[16:31]
So, it's getting up this high. Wow,
[16:36]
this is so cool.
[16:39]
This is amazing.
[16:45]
Just going to hang out here by myself.
[16:53]
Leave it there.
