I asked the ChatGPT agent today to find the email of the VP of an organization I was trying to get a sales lead on, and it ended up finding an obscure permitting request document posted on a public facing server from a business in Alaska who had a couple saved emails with this organization attached to their request, including the email address I needed AND an email signature with direct phone line and extension, all from like a week ago.
I got the sales lead at least!
These models also have an updated general memory that contains recent events, and it will do a web search for more information in a lot of cases.
Models haven't really done that whole "My training data only extends to this date" thing in a while because they integrate different technologies to keep information fresh.
And some of these memory vectors can be updated by the models themselves in some cases. Because why wouldn't an AI automation company use AI automation to automate updating their automation! Hahah

Dude I feel so hopeless most of the time.
My apartment is a mess, so is my car, I can barely take care of myself.
I don't know what to do anymore. Most things on ADHD or autistic burnout go over the symptoms and why it happens, all of which are spot on, but the solutions are all general and lack any specifics or even success stories.
It's all just "you need to recharge" but then doesn't go into any specifics of how to recharge when you're just trying to survive. Like how am I supposed to reduce the amount of demands without actually doing the demands that I'm struggling with to begin with? My apartment is a mess which puts stress on me because of the demand of having to clean it, but to get rid of the demand I have to actually clean it which is the thing I'm struggling with to begin with. It's always solutions like that that don't account for the complexities of reality.
I got a new job last year and I already feel like it's in trouble because of how much I struggle with executive function. I have been on a project for The Mariners and it's taken me my entire strength to manage the project and I've still made a mess of it by doing everything last minute. It's going to be a miracle if it gets done on time, and my boss has seen how much I've struggled on it.
And how do you reduce demands at work and relax?
I'm on ADHD meds but they feel like they've stopped working.
I don't know how to relax apparently. I thought relaxing was listening to audiobooks or watching things but now I'm being told that kind of stuff doesn't recharge you, it distracts you.
I've got multiple business ideas to make money, and I posted an ad looking for a business partner/assistant but can't even bring myself to respond to any of the responses I got.
The only thing that seems to give me a shot of dopamine recently has been donating my time and skills to a small local Indigenous-owned Fry Bread Restaurant and helping them with their social media, marketing, branding, signage, menus, and solving various issues and generally making them a bit more efficient overall. They're super grateful and have claimed I came at the exact time they needed and have saved their business.
Seriously the social media posts and updated branding, local advertising, and stuff has given them something crazy like a 3,000% boost in business in the last month according to her register software, and her social media activity has jumped up an insane number like 10,927%.
That's super rewarding but I'm also not getting paid for it at all except for a free meal here and there. As I said, I'm donating my time and skills to them in an effort to support the local indigenous community, and also because they didn't have any money for anything I am helping them with. It's also just fun and rewarding.
But it's also been making a difference, I use the socials to post MMIW missing flyers, I've added a bulletin board to the restaurant that promotes indigenous artists and businesses, I've been postinf about and integrating educational content about indigenous cultures and the current issues indigenous communities face into the menu, social media posts, messaging, and even the kids menu/activity sheet has some educational stuff. I designed a poster for them that they going over the indigenous history of the Sea Hawks logo, and I've gotten together an indigenous comedy night and invited indigenous artists to display their art in store.
And I've worked with so many huge world known companies, it's just nice to use my skills for things that help actual people and help the community as opposed to helping rich CEOs get richer.
I am meeting with someone that does this professionally next Friday to pick their brain if I could help or do the same or similar thing just get paid for it.
I had a project to create concrete replicas of Maarva's Funerary Stone from Andor as a political statement, and that too has fallen by the wayside.
I can't bring myself to respond to friends who reach out. One of them reached out that they were going to be in town this weekend and I never responded because I feel like I'm a mess.

Comment on Why have so many travel vloggers been traveling to Middle East countries lately? in ~travel

Basically...So sometimes country's will allocate resources to cover an influencers entire trip and lodging, or offer partial packages like paying for just the flight and hotel, or just the flight. Basically they incentivise influencers to go there and create content, and because they cover everything they control the quality of accomodations so the influencers only film and promote the best while acting carefree, and because of the money saved they'll spend it elsewhere, giving the illusion that money goes a longer way than usual.
Anyways, that gets posted and other people see it and find it when searching for trips and vacation spots.
China did/does have a huge program for this and I've had a couple friends with relatively small followings be offered trips and itenetary and they claim they're legit.
My guess is that's what is happening here.
Dubai has been pouring money into stuff like this, thats why so many comedians went over there last year and caused a controversy. My guess is Israel is also interested in trying to counter the optics of the Palestine genocide. Making the entire middle east seem safe is in all their best interests from optics, tourism, etc.

Also are they going to be cross referencing ID information with the federal government? How are they going to verify IDs? That sounds very expensive to have to cross reference and verify ID information with federal databases for millions of users accurately and quickly, so it's probably just going to check your name and birthdate and try to match whatever photo to the user and leave it at that.
Because to me it sounds like if you want to remain anonymous you can just photoshop a fake ID or use an AI generated avatar. And yes, I know the legality of photoshoping and submitting a false and fabricated ID, but A) How will Discord know it's false? and B)How will they be able to connect the account to you to know that it's a fake ID, and C) is Discord really going to expend the resources reporting it as opposed to simply shutting down the account, and D) is the government realistically going to expend the resources going after people photoshopping IDs and submitting them to Discord of all places?
I feel like it's going to be a trivial task for Gen Z coders to craft up some way of fooling a system like this with a high degree of success with relatively low risk.
And at that point it makes it all just seem like a dazzling waste of money and resources.

I can deal with them in small amounts, like the tiny onions at McDonalds on their small cheeseburgers, and I LOVE steamed veggies that are soft enough to melt in your mouth, but nothing that gives me that crunch of raw vegetables. I love caramelized onions too. And crunchy tator tots and similar are fine. Just not raw.
Maybe the only exception would be lettuce, but on a burger.
The other one is Kimchi. Usually when it comes to food I can sort of understand why someone would think it's good even though I don't particularly like it, but Kimchi is an absolute mystery to me why anyone would ever go near it. I get that it's cultural but to me I can't even smell it.

I unlocked everything for the cult, all the buildings, and was walking around thinking "What else is there to do?"
I guess I could max out the hack and slash part of the game but what's the point?
Anyways, I started playing Dredge afterwards, and it's a fun game just slow. The time of day mechanic's a bit odd and is taking me some time to get used to. I also wish that Dredge had a waypoint system. Usually I have a good sense of direction, but I'm always finding myself lost in this game for some reason.
I'm also not sure what I'm doing at this point in Dredge. I've been trying to finish objectives as I come across them but I've stopped coming across them so I've just been upgrading my boat.

Every couple years I'll try to dive back into RSS readers, and it always astounds me that for something as conceptually simple as a feed of links to articles on websites, absolutely nothing seems to get it just right. At least not since Google Reader.
Everything is either overly complex, a bizarre paid cloud service, or lacks basic features you'd expect from an RSS reader. The last RSS reader that I really gave any attention to trying to get to work lacked the feature of sorting your articles by the date the article was posted, and the author of the software responded to threads upon threads of github tickets arguing with people in unhinged ways about why they didn't need to sort by the date the article was posted, not that there were technical challenges, just that he refused to do so.
And all the other somewhat decent ones are all paid cloud services. Why can't I just get a local hosted RSS reader that pulls the articles when I open the app, and lets me sort and categorize how I want?

Pluribus is one of the few modern shows that doesn't hand feed the plot to viewers, and had a lot of world building and plot details scattered throughout trivial dialogue and throw-away lines and background stuff. It doesn't HIDE those details and personally I wouldn't consider those details subtle, but it also doesn't beat you across the head with plot details in unnatural unrealistic expositional dialogue in contrast with other modern shows.
So I was shocked and appalled looking at online discourse around Pluribus. I used to be around when LOST was being discussed and I remember the deep theories and people digging into every line of the show and every background image. Pluribus was NOTHING like that, it felt like some people were watching an entirely different show, like people were discussing theories multiple comment threads deep where the dialogue entirely discredited everything, with not a single person mentioning it.
I had people argue with me about stuff where I had to literally find the transcript and post the actual dialogue and spell it out for them.
People were posting theories like "If the hivemind can't lie, then why are they lying about being aliens and they don't they share the memories of previous planets with Carol?" An entire thread of a dozen or so comments discussing this and not a single person mentioned how the guy on the TV IN THE FIRST EPISODE explained the premise and exact constraints of the virus. And I had to copy and paste the entire dialogue exchange in the first episode where they explicitly explain that because people were like "It came from space, it's an alien," and they somehow missed the entire part of the first 5 minutes showing that the DNA sequence was transmitted and then re-created by humans, and the last five minutes where the Hivemind ITSELF explains what it is and how it's not technically an "alien". People still argued with me and I had to be like "Dude, I didn't write the show. I'm just posting exactly what the show itself said."
Then when someone asked "If the hivemind can't hurt any living beings, then how did the infected rat bite the scientist?" Again, same thing, dozens of comments discussing it and not a SINGLE person mentioning how on Air Force One when the survivors met they talked about the Hivemind releasing animals and some hivemind bodies being attacked and mauled by those animals insinuating they can't infect animals, and animals aren't part of the hivemind because the animals attacked the hivemind. I explain this and have people arguing with me "Well then how did it infect the scientist then, huh?" And I then had to explain how an animal can be a carrier of a virus without being affected by it and explained the Black Death and how disease spreads through rats.
And then again when Carol called Manousos the first time on the plane when he kept blowing her off and she cursed him out, people didn't understand that he thought Carol was part of the Hivemind at first.
I had people say "Well, I'm not spending all my time rewatching and obsessing over every detail in this show" and I'm like dude I watched it once, casually, several days ago. Christ.
Frankly I hadn't been in those kind of discussion spaces in a very long time, but they were NEVER like that before. Sure, there are always crackpot theories, but not ones where the show itself completely discredits the entire theory concept.
Discussing Pluribus made me 100% understand the thought process behind these Netflix executives. I don't agree with them, if anything I'm just mad at people for being the statistic that has caused a lot of shows to be dumbed down, but boy was it obvious.

They just have their lobbyists whispering crap into their ears about what to regulate.
It's not just social media either. We've got lawmakers trying to get 3D Printer(and CNC) software to detect and refuse to print gun parts without even a tangible clue that that's not how these machines work in the slightest. The printer software isn't smart, it just reads a complex coordinate system tied to different motors, and even if they went for the slicer software it's open source and has no ties to any kind of localities. It might hit Bambu printers that have a lot of closed source connectivity, but still ultimately ineffective. This isn't even getting into the logistics of what's considered a gun part and how you even try to detect it.
I digress, lol.

So I'm 100% convinced I'm probably going through autistic burnout right now. Part of the reason I'm a bit desperate to be self employed is a really bad string of jobs and employment over the past 6 years has beaten me to a pulp, but as I said one of the hurdles to being self employed is that if I have to do everything I'll probably stay burned out. Designing things and being creative is healing to me and I feel like if I could be able to live off of that I'd be much happier.
But I'm curious if you have any resources to help with autistic burnout. I'm not sure where to start

I did have a few follow up questions though.
- Could you expand on the % ownership being tied to vesting? As I'm looking for partners, compensation and higher level things like this is something I'm concerned about. A bit related to that, when talking to potential partners about some of these ideas, do you have any advice on how to make sure they don't walk away with the idea?
- So thinking about this gives me a bit of pause, because I feel like I have a lot of ideas and they all have pros and cons, some need no startup costs but little opportunity for growth, others have high startup costs but have high opportunity for growth. Like on one end it'd be great to have someone help out with booths and selling, another is partners on a traveling experiential installation.
- Luckily I have family who do taxes, so I have very easy access to these kinds of resources.
- Also luckily I actually have professional experience in most of the things I have ideas about, so I have a good idea about what it's actually like operating in these spaces and the pros and cons and hurdles associated with it.
- I've thought about a kickstarter for the 3D Printable product idea with Patreon licensing tiers. Luckily that is not something that requires us to print products as the only mode of sales, the 3D models can be sold individually on sites like Cults3D, or bulk with a resale permit so others can print and sell at booths or to local stores. And no it's not like dragons or anything like that, it's something much more functional and novel that fills a niche outside of typical 3D printing slop.
Ok outside of 1, that ended up being less questions and more responses. haha
But if I have any more questions I'll reach out! Thank you for this.

I’m a highly creative person with strong execution skills on the makers side of things, design, fabrication, ideation, problem-solving. Where I consistently fall down is follow-through when working solo: logistics, setup, listings, shipping, scheduling, the last-mile admin that turns finished work into something that actually exists in the world.
I have a lot of very good monetizable ideas and skills, and I LOVE the creative part, but I just flounder at the rest.
I've joked in the past about needing a manager, someone who tells me what to make and how much of it, and I just make the deadlines and they ship, but more and more recently I've realized that might be exactly what I need.
Recently I've been doing some free design and branding work for a local indigenous restaurant and despite not getting paid for it, I LOVED doing it. And I've been getting asked about why I don't do it for other businesses too, as I have the experience and skills to, and it's like I would but the freelance aspect of having to find my own clients and stuff is just daunting.
And same thing with a couple ideas I've had that utilize 3D Printing and 3D design. I have a product idea that would fit a perfect niche that isn't currently being filled by any big players, as well as a monetization and resale license plan, but it's the execution.
When left to my own devices I kind of just fizzle out.
And I have a lot of designs and artwork that can absolutely translate to clothing and apparel, and I used to have a very active redbubble / society6 presence.
Like I know body-doubling is a really good ADHD hack that works, but I'm not sure how to body double something like this, but I would if I could.
So I guess I'm asking if anyone else has had to deal with this or if anyone has had to hire a creative partner/assistant/manager, and if so how'd that go and what is that like? Also where do I even go to find a person like that?

You don't always need a duck expert to go in and officially designate it a duck.
And to be clear, I have been diagnosed, but was 'self diagnosed' for a couple years before that.
I think the thing a lot of people miss about self diagnosis is that a the end of the day it's about symptom relief, at least it was for me. Meaning it was about finding coping skills and understanding why I was the way I was. I didn't need a doctor to tell me I was autistic to be able to relate to a lot of information about autism, and use some of the coping strategies used by people with autism.
I just happened to get diagnosed when I was at a good union job with a great insurance plan that also tested for autism at the same time as testing for ADHD several years ago when I was trying to get medicated for ADHD. Psychiatrist said why not and just signed me up for both. At the time I was having issues at this job due to ADHD symptoms that had gotten a lot worse and my psych figured the autism diagnosis might help with that. It didn't, the business tried to make me quit by making my life hell by micromanaging and criticizing all my work, and after I wrote some custom automation software built around their exact criticisms to fix everything they were criticizing me for, they got frustrated went nuclear and ended up straight up lying to the union and the teamsters union took their side despite breaking multiple things in our CBA and ignoring the doctor's note I had gotten from my psych.
I digress, haha
It's like, if it helps, it helps.
I generally don't take issue with people self diagnosing unless they use their diagnosis as an excuse for bad behavior. And by bad behavior I mean emotional disregulation with no attempted coping skills(sensory meltdowns are different), not like perceived communication issues or non-neurotypical behavior.

Now none of this is medical advice, it's just what my crazy ass does.
The moment I feel a bit sick I do this:
- I pull a hot bath together. And I mean as hot as I can reasonably bear.
- I make some chicken noodle soup, tea, and a mug of plain hot water, and I take a multivitamin with it.
- I use a thermometer to check my temperature before I get in the bath.
- I will eat the chicken noodle soup, hot tea, and sip on hot water as I take the hot bath, monitoring my temperature closely.
- I'll pull my extremities in and out of the hot bath as needed to keep my temperature around 101°F-102°F and kind of as feels good.
- I'll keep this up for around 45 minutes to an hour.
- I'll take some nighttime theraflu and some ZZquill about 15 minutes before I get out.
- Put some heavy pajamas on, and climb into bed under a bunch of blankets. Hopefully by this time the Theraflu and zzquill kicks in.
- And 9 times out of 10 I'll wake up feeling a lot better.
And of course I'm drinking water like no other.
This has worked for me incredibly well over the years. The idea is that I'm inducing an artificial fever to raise my body temperature up so my body doesn't have to expend that energy to raise it, and that it creates an adequately hostile environment.
I've been told it's dangerous, but frankly people get higher body temperatures in saunas and jacuzzi's and they're not even monitoring their internal body temps.
Not a single person has been able to give me good answer as to why a hot bath is dangerous while a jacuzzi or hot sauna isn't dangerous, the only difference being my intent to raise the body temperature. And not a single person has been able to tell me why this wouldn't work in theory.
But it works and I do get noticeable results. If it doesn't kick the sickness completely, then it greatly reduces it's severity and length.

So first, I ended up completely redoing the Dungeon Crawler CarL Samantha metal shirt. This time I did it completely by hand first, and adjusted a metal band font.
I am also thinking of getting a heat press for sublimation and DTF for shirt making. Do I need another ADHD hobby purchase that I will promise myself I'll one day monetize?
And lastly I've been helping a small Indigenous owned restaurant in Seattle with their branding and design. They remodeled for a couple months and they've lost a lot of business since they reopened. I'm also doing it completely free of charge with no strings attached and leveraging my contacts in printing to get them the best prices for printing.
I've worked with huge brands and licensing when in the entertainment industry, and also in the art department where we had to often convert entire restaurants and storefronts with fictional cleared branding, so I've got a lot of experience with that.
Anyways since the US isn't exactly something to be proud of right now, I've taken some conscious time to learn about the struggles of minorities, last thanksgiving I went to a cabin resort on native land with no wifi and just spent the weekend reading and hiking with no cell phone. It's given me a lot to think about and I definitely don't want to be part of the problems that these groups are faced with.

I mean it probably has a whitelist/blacklist or some other kind of system in place to prevent it from accessing malicious or illegal content or people going around it's filters or trying to jailbreak the model. So it might not work on just any site, or have some way to detect the difference between a site on the open web meant for people at large, and a single purpose hosted website.
The public server that the model found the emails in my example was a .gov domain so maybe that makes it seem more legit. idk,
I also know that some of them respect robot.txt and won't crawl anything with that, at least actively.
There's been sites on the open web that ChatGPT hasn't been able to access for various reasons. I usually get around this by printing the page to PDF then uploading it.
