…Cool. I yeah, I think on that note, this probably a pretty good spot to draw to a close. I no doubt have hit my main goal of create something that I and others can take the transcript to our agents and, you know, get a, a serious checklist of possible upgrades, enhancements, extensions, and so on. Anything else that we didn't talk about that you, you know, have done recently? Any upgrades people are going to find in π anything else you just want to share or promote before we break?

You forgot about that one thing you left out there and it's an open port. Oh, you actually had a SQLite database. Oh, that was actually a dump of everything and turns out it's now public. So I would say that's a tactical thing people should do. I would say the biggest thing is just to zoom out. And I think the mapping of current to ideal state is the best possible container for your whole AI ecosystem. And because that can contain relationships and building companies and like pursuing your goals or whatever it is. And yeah, that's, that's the way I think about AI now. It's like, how is this particular system helping me move from current to ideal? Recursive self improvement is here, it's just not evenly distributed.…
