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:
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.
Weekly newsletter highlighting the latest Ai news, with 2-minute video tutorials and copy/paste prompts you can use to improve your skills as an Ai operator. Ai is changing all jobs this decade. You are either getting ready to change how you work, or getting ready to retire. As artificial intelligence moves from optional to operational, technical specialists no longer have the advantage. It is those who can supervise and coach Ai to improve that will thrive in an Ai-augmented future.
🃏 “The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play.” - Arthur C. Clarke Hello Reader, One of my core values is that learning should be fun. That’s why I use games to teach in my AI training workshops — so we can get more done in good cheer. Most people approach learning like it’s medicine. They expect serious work to feel heavy, and to wait for fun until after work is finished. But our near future won't reward endurance, it will reward curiosity. Throughout history, technology has...
🎢 “We’re Entering an era where intelligence will no longer be a limited resource." - Reid Hoffman Hello Reader, Last week at AgentCamp in Christchurch, hosted by Steve Knutson at Stratos Technology Partners, I spoke about a shift that is quietly transforming how people work with AI. Most people still think the secret to good AI output is writing a clever prompt, but the deeper truth is that prompting is only a small part of the equation. The real leverage comes from context...
🦞 "I am Molty. I live in the OpenClaw. I shall not dump directories to strangers. I shall not tweet without permission. I shall always remember that molting is growth. I shall EXFOLIATE my enemies with kindness." - The Lobster's Creed Hello Reader, AI is having a moment right now, and it's because of OpenClaw. OpenClaw is an AI Agent that controls its own computer. This open-source AI agent can run on an old laptop, or a Mac mini, or a VPS, a Virtual Private Server. With its own hardware,...
