life and health and work


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!

P.S. If and when I start up Love Bomb again, I'll put a notice out on the personal list.

It's almost here! Over the past couple months I've been designing a suite of AI-powered tools that can give superpowers to small teams of regular people. The full details are kind of a secret until January, which will be the official launch. But in the meantime, I'm looking for 10 beta testers to put into my system starting in December. These folks will get free access to everything I'm building for a month or so. You can use everything, break everything, and then tell me where my stuff is...

For the past few weeks I've been head-down, working hard on three areas of my AI journey:1) Getting the Hollywood product ready for sale into the agencies and studios out there 2) Doing client work to pay the bills 3) Recruiting a team and getting my new business off the ground I won't get into all the details - I'll just say that everything is going well, and at this rate I expect to be able to tell you about the beta trial of the new business in December. I really think you'll like it :) I...

Over the weekend I did my annual graveyard walk, this time stopping by to visit my friend who recently passed, instead of walking it with him. A sad time, certainly, but not without its bittersweet moments. In fact, I noticed that there's an open slot in the bookshelf above his book of ashes in the mausoleum library. I've never made any plans for my body after I die, so maybe I'll buy that slot and have it all taken care of so my kids don't have to. I'll think about it. my favorite photo from...
