Transcript context
…So how do you, I mean, it's interesting that this is not, not something I've done. It's interesting that you have AI going through and scoring the health of relationships. I'd be interested just to hear a little bit more about that and how it's working for you. And like how you you know, what does it prompt you to do and and how do you make sure that you know you avoid unwanted AI feedback like inflating your score? Yeah. So it's seeing how I'm interacting with it. I don't have it watching everything yet. I'm still working on ingestion for a few different systems. But to the extent that I'm talking to Kai about relationships that that's kind of what he'll see at this point, which right now it's mostly building apps and doing a bunch of other life stuff. But the, the idea is, I mean, my ultimate idea for all of AI actually, but especially for my personal AI is that there's only kind of one end state for AI for me, which is the navigation of current state to ideal state. It's just that simple. So in my Telos, which is my primary document that runs everything and it's also what I do on the business side for consulting, my Telos primarily has or I've made it basically a first class citizen is current state in an ideal state. So in my current state, I have the fact that I maintain my relationships with my friends and I kind of have like rings there for like, you know, family. I need to be reaching out to them this many times as ideal. So when those numbers aren't where they need to be, that's showing in a score. It's actually in in my status line that these are decaying, right? And the same thing for physical health, the same thing for a bunch of different things. But the, the overall arching idea there is that it is simply its job is to get me to ideal state and to understand and capture properly the current state. And then the whole, the whole entire game is the transition is the navigation, which right now is a bunch of Cron jobs and a bunch of other stuff. But my view of this is like, especially for enterprise AI, but also for all the personal stuff that is the game. The game very simply, all these agents, all these harnesses, it all like fades into the background. I believe we're going to end up with 1-DA. Most people will end up with one DA and your DA, of course, you can have others participate as well, but I think you'll have one primary digital assistant and it's the one managing all that other stuff. And it's the one who's the expert on what's currently happening and what what your ideal state is. Obviously you're the one providing ideal state. And then, yeah, while you're sleeping, while we're in this conversation, it's over there working, it's researching, it's doing all the work. And yeah, I just have as one of those facets is relationships, family and friends. How do you articulate what the ideal state is? I feel like I'm not that confident, or I mean I guess it can just be an iterative process unto itself, but like I'm intimidated by the the notion of trying to articulate an ideal state.…
