My 2022 Annual Review & New Years Resolutions 2023
Hello Reader,
It’s been a month since I last sent you the Stellar Platforms Newsletter, and you can expect future issues monthly, instead of weekly. For a while.
However, I will soon be starting another monthly newsletter, on the topic of Life Balance. This will be about the relationship we have to work, and rest, and how we can break it, and how we can fix it.
Click here to get on the list for Life Balance.
I have gone through a great many changes related to this topic since I emailed you last. Shortly after my last newsletter of 2022, I had a flare of my autoimmune disorder, and I was bedridden for weeks.
This is why I am late on delivering my Annual Review. Every year since 2014, I have published an Annual Review on New Year’s Eve on my personal website, followed by New Years Resolutions on January 1.
This year, I am a month late, but I have completed my yearly introspections. (I would have been disappointed to miss Year 10!)
If you’d like to know more about the changes I have gone through recently, and how I am using these changes to guide my decisions in the future, then I invite you to read these posts:

- https://caelanhuntress.com/2023/02/01/new-years-resolutions-2023/
Do you have a Big Word for this year? Have you made any resolutions?
Feel free to reply and tell me who you plan to be this year, and how your progress is going so far. I love hearing about the directions and dreams of others.

"We don't play games to avoid work; we play games to engage in well-designed work." - Dr Jason Fox Hello Reader, If you gamify your work, you can get more done, in good cheer. That's the lesson learned from a recent AI Games Playtesting event I held in Christchurch. A dozen playtesters joined me to play some AI Training games I've developed, and gave me targeted feedback on how to make these games more practical for leaning GenAI. Over the past six months, I've been teaching workshops using...
"Vision without execution is hallucination." - Thomas Edison Hello Reader, What is a hallucination? It's not so trippy. With an LLM, a hallucination is a factual error asserted confidently. GPTs only create strings of words that sounds like language. If it doesn't know the facts, it fills in gaps with fiction. Responses are only accurate if you explicitly demand accuracy. Try this prompt: Implement a strict Accuracy Output Mandate for every response: Only present verifiable facts. If you...
“Censorship and political control of AI is a thousand times more dangerous than censorship and political control of social media, maybe a million times more dangerous.” - Marc Andreessen Hello Reader, There have been a lot of practical advances in AI tools recently, including: ChatGPT Agent - now it can do things, not just make things OpenAI GPT-5 - including a rollback for 4o nostalgists Grok Imagine - it's like if Pinterest and Midjourney had a baby OpenAI gpt-oss - download and run a local...
