I make software and I like thinking about tech, EVs, climate, space, and public policy.

If you want to add occasional unexpected joy to your LLM use, I highly recommend adding something along the lines of "reference bananas a little more than is normal" to your customization prompt.

Assuming the June 14th "no kings" protests happen, I hope you all find one near you and join in. I've heard (but don't know if it's true) that if only 3% of us show up it's a monumental force. Let's hope we can get there before too long!

I think predictions are a good way to test your "worldview". Whether you live in a bubble, and if you're seeing things straight. For example, if someone thinks that Trump is guaranteed to boom or bust the economy, I think it would be helpful to be reminded of that prediction in 4 years.
