Raw Thoughts
Live streaming is a medium similar to a 1:n conversation. Flow is enforced by the camera, mistakes happen, and the results are always pretty novel. Live streaming is also unlike conversation because the streamer stays aware of the "performance gap", creating a new level of "self" awareness, similar to how observation changes the results of an experiment.

Advice: Dont treat patreon 5-10 dollars a month as being == to faceless organization 10 dollars a month (e.g. a WoW subscription or a Netflix subscription) -- when you subscribe to an individual you are literally helping small business. TBH it's kind of tragic that VC so heavily subsidizes Netflix subscriptions et al. to the $10 a month mark that forces consumers to compare the value of the entire catalogue on Netflix vs the work of one individual trying to make something. It follows that this is another great reason to buy your own domain and run your own website -- you get to accrete value to yourself instead of participating in the shared watering hole of someone else's company. Its just good business!!

This park kinda looks like a fish. Even the Google Maps pin looks like an eye!

Raw Thoughts
Animals unconsciously agent in their environment and change it (overeating resources -- finches for example)
Humans consciously agent their environment and change it (global warming for example)
Programs agent their environment in a feedback loop that is not conscious in the sense of serving the need to eat for survival but not unconscious due to fact that they know what’s going on with access to state of impossibly massive systems (which is why humans get caught off guard by bugs)
If coding with an LLM was painting, gpt serves as the broad strokes applied to the sketch of an artist -- it’s hallucinations serve as the rough edges of the paint stroke on the canvas. The artist meticulously changes a line or two and instead of deciding to paint a mountain in the background he decides to paint a tree and asks the LLM to draw the broad strokes of a tree and to reintegrate the surrounding landscape to make the tree seem like it was always there. But he doesn’t remember the size of a tree so he uses LLM as a reminder of how tall they are what color the bark is how many leaves a tree has, etc.
