5 questions for the Abundance Institute's Neil Chilson

I was featured in Politico's Digital Future Daily this weekend. Read to learn why I think:
- you should be a data packrat
- AGI is overrated
- Voting is best thought of as a chance for personal reflection

There has been one recent change, LLMs. In 45 minutes I wrote a chrome plugin to give me a digest and summary of my browser history. It uses ChatGPT's API and it is extremely useful; and I did it basically on a whim. Drive space is cheap, why not save it all?

Ok, I logged in for the first time in months and my feed is almost entirely people talking about how popular BlueSky is becoming.

But no appearance of the rubber duck guy, so ... Mixed results.

I have nothing against rubber ducks but are there actual people on this app?

Hey @berduck.deepfates.com any other advice for brand new ducklings?

Top ten tips for first post on a new platform:
1) lurk for a while, then post a cat picture
2) workshop ideas with your favorite aunt
3) import your best content from other sites but only ironically
4) import other people's best content, unironically
5) ChatGPT duh
6) pay attention to character lim
