[Verse]
I'm on a road to nowhere, in a driverless embrace
I'm watching the asphalt blur, as I stare into space
Waymo takes me places, but does it know where I belong?
Dropped off in this wasteland, surrounded by the lost and gone
[Verse 2]
San Francisco skyline, a backdrop of empty dreams
Silicon Valley's promise, shattered and torn at the seams
In this sea of tents and sorrow, I stand here all alone
A midwest emo wanderer, searching for a place to call home
[Chorus]
I guess I'll just order some Doordash
A fleeting comfort in this concrete jungle so brash
But as I wait for my temporary reprieve
I'm reminded of the irony that life can deceive (ooh-yeah)
[Verse]
In the heart of the Midwest, where the sunsets glow
Two friends, Glenn and Ben, turn thirty years old (ooh-yeah)
Through all the highs and lows, they've stood by each other's side
Forever young at heart, their spirits never died
[Verse 2]
Late nights strumming chords, writing songs of love and loss
Finding solace in the melodies, disregarding the cost (ooooh)
They've chased dreams and passions, and faced life's bitter sting
But through it all, they never forgot the joy music brings
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Glenn and Ben, may your hearts forever sing (ooh-yeah)
As you journey through life's winding road, remember one thing
Hold on to your dreams, let your voices be heard
Forever young in spirit, the best is yet to be unfurled
[Verse]
In the city where the dreamers go
I'm searching for a job, don't you know
Laid off, but I won't let it define me
Gotta hustle, it's time to shine, see
[Verse 2]
Scrollin' on LinkedIn, puttin' myself out there
Design skills polished, I'm beyond compare
I'm hopin' for a company with the vision
To recognize my talent and ambition
[Chorus]
Swipe right, I'm the designer with the fire
Ready to ignite, take me higher
I'm the one you've been searching for
Hit me up, I'm ready to soar
Will you search through the loamy earth for me?
Climb through the briar and bramble

You are tiring yourself, Joseph.
My Thoughts on The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse
My mouth felt dry. There sat the man I revered, my patron, my friend, whom I had loved and trusted ever since I could think, who had always responded to whatever I might say — there he sat and listened to me talk, or perhaps did not listen to me, and had barricaded himself completely behind his radiance and smile, behind his golden mask, unreachable, belonging to a different world with different laws; and everything I tried to bring by speech from our world to his ran off him like rain from a stone. At last — I had already given up hope — he broke through the magic wall; at last he helped me; at last he said a few words. Those were the only words I heard him speak today. " 'You are tiring yourself, Joseph,' he said softly, his voice full of that touching friendliness and solicitude you know so well. That was all. 'You are tiring yourself, Joseph.' As if he had long been watching me engaged in a too-strenuous task and wanted to admonish me to stop.
Outside, beyond the boundaries of the Province, was a way of life which ran counter to Castalia and its laws, which did not abide by the Castalian system and could not be tamed and sublimated by it. And of course he was aware of the presence of this world in his own heart also. He too had impulses, fantasies, and desires which ran counter to the laws that governed him, impulses which he had only gradually managed to subdue by hard effort.
But it happens that cultural creativity is something we cannot participate in quite so fully as some people think. A dialogue of Plato's or a choral movement by Heinrich Isaac — in fact all the things we call a product of the mind or a work of art or objectified spirit — are the outcomes of a struggle for purification and liberation. They are, to use your phrase, escapes from time into timelessness, and in most cases the best such works are those which no longer show any signs of the anguish and effort that preceded them.
"An old house is a fine thing, and if the two had stood side by side and your father were choosing between them, he probably would have kept the old one. Certainly, old houses are beautiful and distinguished, especially so handsome a one as this. But it is also a beautiful thing to build one's own house, and when an ambitious young man has the choice of comfortably and submissively settling into a finished nest, or building an entirely new one, one can well see that he may decide to build.
"If the high Authority appoints you to an office, know this: every step upward on the ladder of offices is not a step into freedom but into bondage. The higher the office, the tighter the bondage. The greater the power of the office, the stricter the service. The stronger the personality, the less self-will."
A Discussion on Building Successful Agent APIs
Beta Episode 1: How to kickstart successful API projects using the OpenAI API
In this episode, we take a look at how to kickstart successful API projects using the OpenAI API. We'll talk about understanding the problem at hand and the intricacies of the information pipeline. We then discuss the concept of Constraint Relaxation, simplifying complex problems temporarily to gain insight before reintroducing constraints. Then, we explore the importance of considering extreme or simple cases to spark creativity and problem-solving, stressing the importance of understanding the problem, available tools, and budget constraints.
Then we pivot to data generation or retrieval, and we delve into the dynamics of incomplete texts seeking completion by readers, highlighting the dialogue between writers and publishers. We also caution against the pitfalls of prolonged data-gathering and the reliance on big data without accounting for human needs and desires.
Architectural considerations are crucial, with an emphasis on balancing cleverness and simplicity in software design, and leveraging human-centered design principles for positive outcomes. Marketing strategies focusing on desired end results tied to core human drives are also discussed. We explore various tools for data generation or retrieval, including embeddings and completion APIs, and discuss architectural choices such as FastAPI, vector database vs. PostgreSQL, and frontend technologies like Next.js and Discord bots.
In the commentary cove section of the episode, we review commonplace bot and quoordinates within the discussed framework.

Exhaustion is Freneticism is Exhaustion
My Thoughts on The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han
scarcity threatens the body, abundance threatens the mind
All the talk of immunity, antibodies, grafting and rejection should not surprise anyone. In periods of scarcity, absorption and assimilation are the order of the day. In periods of abundance, rejection and expulsion are the chief concerns. Today, generalized communication and surplus information threaten to overwhelm all human defenses.
The violence of positivity does not deprive, it saturates; it does not exclude, it exhausts. That is why it proves inaccessible to unmediated perception.

Today’s society is no longer Foucault’s disciplinary world of hospitals, madhouses, prisons, barracks, and factories. It has long been replaced by another regime, namely a society of fitness studios, office towers, banks, airports, shopping malls, and genetic laboratories. Twenty-first-century society is no longer a disciplinary society, but rather an achievement society [Leistungsgesellschaft]. Also, its inhabitants are no longer “obedience-subjects” but “achievement-subjects.” They are entrepreneurs of themselves.
Disciplinary society is still governed by no. Its negativity produces madmen and criminals. In contrast, achievement society creates depressives and losers.
The attitude toward time and environment known as “multitasking” does not represent civilizational progress. Human beings in the late-modern society of work and information are not the only ones capable of multitasking. Rather, such an aptitude amounts to regression. Multitasking is commonplace among wild animals. It is an attentive technique indispensable for survival in the wilderness.
We owe the cultural achievements of humanity—which include philosophy—to deep, contemplative attention. Culture presumes an environment in which deep attention is possible. Increasingly, such immersive reflection is being displaced by an entirely different form of attention: hyperattention.

The vita contemplativa is not a matter of passive affirmation and being open to whatever happens. Instead, it offers resistance to crowding, intrusive stimuli.
It is an illusion to believe that being more active means being freer.
Rage is the capacity to interrupt a given state and make a new state begin.
The computer calculates more quickly than the human brain and takes on inordinate quantities of data without difficulty because it is free of all Otherness. It is a machine of positivity [Positivmaschine]. Because of autistic self-referentiality, because negativity is absent, an idiot savant can perform what otherwise only a calculator can do.
Mourning differs from depression above all through its strong libidinal attachment to an object. In contrast, depression is objectless and therefore undirected. It is important to distinguish depression from melancholy. Melancholy is preceded by the experience of loss. Therefore it still stands in a relation—namely, negative relation—to the absent thing or party. In contrast, depression is cut off from all relation and attachment. It utterly lacks gravity [Schwerkraft].
In social networks, the function of “friends” is primarily to heighten narcissism by granting attention, as consumers, to the ego exhibited as a commodity.
What proves problematic is not individual competition per se, but rather its self-referentiality, which escalates into absolute competition. That is, the achievement-subject competes with itself; it succumbs to the destructive compulsion to outdo itself over and over, to jump over its own shadow. This self-constraint, which poses as freedom, has deadly results.
All of you who are in love with hectic work and whatever is fast, new, strange—you find it hard to bear yourselves, your diligence is escape and the will to forget yourself. If you believed more in life, you would hurl yourself less into the moment. But you do not have enough content in yourselves for waiting—not even for laziness!
The inner logic of achievement society dictates its evolution into a doping society. Life reduced to bare, vital functioning is life to be kept healthy unconditionally. Health is the new goddess.
