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:

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.

🗂️ "An AI Agent runs tools in a loop to achieve a goal." - Simon Willison Hello Reader, Generative AI makes things for you. Agentic AI does things for you. This distinction, between making and doing, is the next step on the exponential curve of capability. An AI Agent can initiate and execute tasks independently, finding the best way to transition from an initial state to a goal state by using any tools it has available, as often as it is capable of doing. In his excellent primer on AI...
🌱 “It’s clear that we are well into the adoption phase of AI, but not everyone is adapting.” - Lou Compagnone Hello Reader, I was in Wellington this week for the #AotearoaAISummit, the annual festival hosted by the AI Forum New Zealand. I livetweeted the event on LinkedIn (live-posted? doesn't have the same flavour) on the hashtag linked above, and I made AI anime illustrations of all the speakers. You can see my takeaways (and my art) below: (Please note - other than the illustrations, no AI...
🗄️ "Companies need to turn their workflows, domain knowledge, and accumulated judgment into AI systems that improve with each use. The companies that build this early will have an advantage that is hard to replicate, regardless of any new individual model capability." - Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft Hello Reader, The meat computers inside our skulls have a network, when working together on a team. The information stored on this network can be called institutional knowledge. The way the work...
