I'm working with Claude today to finish Gutenberg Land. Figuring it out as we go along. It can run the app itself because it's browser-based. I look forward to a project that runs on a server so it can run it locally and we can really make things hum. This, if I guess correctly, is how Jake is working with Headless Frontier.

For people who like the view from trains as much as I do, here is a minute and a half video of us just rolling through the French countryside.
The new ChatGPT Pro at $100/month seems essentially just as good as the previous $200/month plan. It appears to even include Pulse. I’m gonna try to switch to get a feel for the token limits. I could never come close to hitting limits before.

Morning in Malaga.
In yet another surprising turn of events, today I joined a library. And borrowed a book of fiction. To read.

In 1958, Mao ordered every village in China to produce steel. Farmers melted down their cooking pots in backyard furnaces and reported spectacular numbers. The steel was useless. The crops rotted. Thirty million people starved.
In 2026, every other company is having top down mandate on AI transformation.
