“I was a peripheral visionary. I could see the future, but only way off to the side." – Steven Wright

Thanks for all the notes checking in on me after I accidentally sent last week's Right FIT earlier in the day than usual. In nearly 400 weeks I remember it happening twice. What can I say? I was excited!
400 weeks. Yikes. 400 weeks ago what were you doing? It's like 7 1/2 years. I have tried to make a habit of sending news/updates/thoughts since I started using email way, way back. I still have some of them. I found some of the ones I used to write during my Mad Gringo days, but anything before that is lost somewhere on someone's cloud. Most of it is not worth recovering, or even re-reading.
I wonder what will happen when I plug all my archived writings into an LLM? Will it be able to continue the weekly newsletter without me, all the way out to #4,000? They say these tools hallucinate, but is that any different from what I do? What I think is happening in my head entertains me more than reality.
This came up today. My lovely bride asked if I would perform a mule task and I told her, of course! I always perform the mule task, overcoming the rebellion in my head that happens when I see a giant basket piled up with freshly laundered garments. The rebel in me says things like, "you're up and down the stairs all day, take a few pieces each time." The rebellion is soon put down, and what comes out of my mouth is, "of course!" I mean, a rebellion like that and who will make the Chicken Provençal?
Will the LLM come up with a story like that? One that's just floating in my head? It may be able to do it now. I just watched a video of a stroke victim using her mind and AI controlling an avatar using her voice. It's incredible.
In the future I won't even have to write. I can just think it!
