  • Congratulations! You have a career.

    I recommend focusing your passions into hobbies. If you want to change careers, give yourself a time span to do so, and do NOT abandon the old career prematurely.

    Consider spending a couple years passionately pursuing your interests outside of work or in your downtime. Consider this a training period.

    Then, spend a third year where you take on some freelance clients applying your passion to small projects as a side hustle. This will make you some chump change.

    Do this for three years, learning how to expand it as a business.

    Eventually you can transition from full time career A to part time career A, part time career B, and then finally full time career B if you can sustain it and prefer it.






  • I am not saying other generative AI lack flaws, but Google’s AI Overview is the most problematic generative AI implementation I have ever seen. It offends me that a company I used to trust continues to force this lie generator as a top result for the #1 search engine. And to what end? Just to have a misinformed populace over literally every subject!

    OpenAI has issues as well, but ChatGPT is a much, much better search engine with far fewer hallucinations per answer. Releasing AI Overview while the competition is leagues ahead on the same front is asinine!


  • In my personal journey, I came to be permanently skeptical of all organized religions. None of them are infallible, all of them are a cult to a degree. Here are some other beliefs I hold today:

    1 - There might be something real behind exorcisms and hauntings, regardless of the validity of the religions who treat them. I base this on conversations I’ve held with witnesses I trust.

    2 - I don’t think there is only one higher power. Whether there are tiers, I cannot say.

    3 - The evidence for reincarnation is fascinating. Check out the history of the university of Virginia and it’s department dedicated to the supernatural.

    4 - Some people can see/commune with the dead. Whether any can do it at will is another story. Most of the people I believe are private about it, most of those who sell the service seem phony.

    5 - Although I don’t believe in any religion, I was my best self when I did. Faith in a moral cause does wonders for the soul, regardless of factuality. Prayer, meditation, and ritual are good for the soul. Community is incredible.
