Morning, friends! I was doing the Love Bomb thing during the latter half of 2023, and then I took a break for the Christmas holiday but never came back. I ended up having to deal with a few issues at once (and still am, actually): loss of a job, some personal health stuff, some family things, etc. I'm still in a place where I need to take care of myself and focus on bigger things, so I'm going to do that. Love Bomb will be on indefinite hiatus for the time being. I appreciate you all being a part of it! In the meantime, feel free to unsubscribe if you want. Or alternatively, you can move over to my personal email list, which is much more work-focused, but definitely still has a lot of . . . me . . . in it, haha. That list covers the work I'm doing at the intersection of immersive storytelling and AI technology. (For a sample of what I do, here's the writeup of the big project I'm building right now: https://natestpierre.me/sentient-ai-universe-the-sau/) Unsubscribe is at the bottom, as usual. If you'd like to move over to my personal list, tap the button. It'll automatically add you to the other list, and then send you to my homepage. Hope you have a good rest of your week! Nate P.S. If and when I start up Love Bomb again, I'll put a notice out on the personal list.

My son was 14 years old and just starting to get interested in space tech, so I asked if I could bring him along. They said yes, and we took a picture in front of HQ in Hawthorne before going inside. Between that moment and today, Josh joined our family group chat with the folks who work in the field, he went with me to the launch of the Mars InSight lander (my cousin worked on it), he started...
I'm restless tonight. Restless and unfocused, but creative. Not a great combination. My output would be muddled. But I can put these feelings to work a different way. Here's what I'll do: I'll create a list of interesting personal questions at the bottom of this email I will choose 5 to answer here for myself You choose up to 5 of your own, and reply back to me with your answers for yourself This is a way for all of us to have a low-stakes connection opportunity. If I get enough interesting...
I may regret this . . . it remains to be seen, haha 😬 But I think we can afford to give away our full $1,000/month YouBots platform to nonprofits for free, based on the money coming in from regular paying customers. For more details on where we are as a business, check out the LinkedIn post I just put up: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7322712667536642051/ If you or someone you know works for or with a nonprofit, they'll want to see this. It's probably easiest just to...
