Good morning, friends! (Actually, I write the Tuesday morning emails on Monday nights, lying on my couch while watching Monday Night Football, but thanks for rolling with it.) Today on the site I have a mammoth 4,000-word article that you don't need to read unless you want to learn how to create a Youbot that will earn or save you tens of thousands of dollars. And no, you're not expected to know what a Youbot is, because they're a thing I just made up last week. Here's the article: AI That Works: How To Build A Youbot If 4,000 words and the accompanying 50 hours of work you probably need to do in order to create a high quality Youbot by yourself sounds like too much, I can also develop one for you in exchange for a pint of Ben & Jerry's plus all the spare change in your couch. And if you don't care about giving yourself superpowers at all, you might want to at least visit the article and skim it anyway because there are like 10 pictures of cute robots on it, including these lil' guys: That's about all I have today, except to say thanks to everyone who tested my Ideation Engine last week and gave some feedback - I appreciate it.

I'm an AI developer at the intersection of immersive and emergent storytelling. I help novelists, game designers, and filmmakers vividly imagine their worlds through a set of custom tools I've developed.
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...
