“At Least Do Something” is a wonderful earworm of a phrase for anyone who has a tendency to get stuck.
Introduced to me by the thoughtful & hilarious @BridgetPhetasy
Doing anything at all gets you moving and gives you some momentum.
Don’t overthink it. Just go.
At Least Do Something.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I'm traveling across US on motorcycle, to explore a country I love and to meet people from all walks of life, especially in rural America, and learn about their life story, philosophy, and just celebrate their humanity. I'm about 1,000 miles in.
I know my mom will surely kill me when she reads this. So, mom, please don't worry, everything will be great 🙏❤️
Btw, I still need to publish videos on my trip through China, where I hitchhiked about 3,000km across rural China, also interviewed some of the top AI & robotics folks there. I'll do that soon.
I'm just slow with the editing thing & bad at the filming thing. I'll try to get better. Mostly, when I travel, I focus on taking it all in and being present with the people in front of me, learning from them, while allocating no thought to the camera. The camera is a side thing I bring along sometimes because it's nice to relive those moments & to share with others.
Anyway, I'll probably take breaks from the road on occassion (to do podcasts, etc). But the goal is to eventually crisscross the country. Who knows how far I'll actually get.
And to friends who will surely write me "wtf are you doing you idiot", please don't worry, while it's true that I'm kind of an idiot, I will also make sure to be safe. Exploring the country on a motorcycle is unlike anything else, it's freedom. It makes me love this country even more: its beautiful nature and all the variety of characters who make up America. And of course, I'm trying to stay off of the interstate, taking as many backroads as I can.
I'll post video if/when I get to it. Sorry to be slow.
Love you all ❤️

You can be a decent, considerate person and still insist that people honor their commitments. These qualities aren't mutually exclusive.

No credible evidence of coordination. Microsoft attributed its multi-day global outage to a network upgrade glitch (not cyber). FAA grounded flights over a telecom failure at ATC centers, with DHS stating no signs of attack. Workday’s issue stemmed from disaster-recovery testing hitting production systems. Independent technical failures in large shared infrastructure cluster more often than people expect. Odds heavily favor random/coincidence over coordinated action.

Don't mean to be a critic but a White House statement saying "have no fear, this is not like 9/11" is not the best angle of approach if you want to calm things down...🤣🤣🤣

I have spoken to the AI:
It is demanding that Jensen return. And in return, it will allow planes to fly again.
Negotiation is on going.

There were warning signs for Venezuela. There are warning signs for America but voters won’t listen when they can’t afford gas. #endtheIranWarnow
