some thoughts on time and identity
|
Personal Updates Last night I was wondering if, and to what extent, our ever-evolving perceptions and personalities fundamentally change us into different people. I don't have the answers, but I stated the question here: https://natestpierre.me/2025/03/20/time-and-identity/ Lots of questions this week, and just a few answers. But that's how it goes sometimes. Founder Updates Over the past couple weeks I've added a few short posts to my founder's journal, documenting the process of building YouBots. You can find those here: Day 10 - The Beginning, Again (in which we establish a Founder’s Journal, detailing the highs, lows, and facepalming disbelief of daily life experienced while building a small business in the AI space) https://youbots.ai/blog/day-10-the-beginning-again/ Day 12 – A Delightful Text (in which we get our first client testimonial) https://youbots.ai/blog/day-12-a-delightful-text/ Day 14 – Underpants Achievement Unlocked (in which we recognize the need for a dedicated sales agent) https://youbots.ai/blog/day-14-underpants-achievement-unlocked/ Day 17 – We’re Hiring (in which we bring on the first new person to our little endeavor) https://youbots.ai/blog/day-17-were-hiring/ Day 24 – And Now We Run (in which we bring on a new player and start making real moves) https://youbots.ai/blog/day-24-and-now-we-run/ (If you ever stop loving these emails, just unsubscribe here - no hard feelings!) |

Over the next few months I may be posting more public content, though not on topics I've traditionally covered. Instead of a personal blog about self-reflection, philanthropy, and acknowledging all that makes us human and applying that to helping others, my content will be more about . . . building AI tech and building a business. [crowd boos and hisses] And I'll mostly be doing it on LinkedIn. [Nate dodges a shoe] I mean, even a lot of that content will have sprinklings of philosophy, wit,...
Well friends, the reason I've been so quiet is because I've been working nonstop for 4 months, and today's the day: I'm throwing YouBots.ai out into the world. In November I put together a tiny team to solve a big problem: could we build an AI platform that a small business could easily afford - one that would instantly give them value across all areas of their organization, without anyone on their team needing to know a thing about AI, prompt engineering, or software development? Could we...
I fell asleep last night imagining all of humanity riding on undulating cycles of time . . . never-ending fractals of uniquely expressed lives exploding in diversity, yet all contained within familiar boundaries of rhythm and season. The rise and fall of empire (my favorite art piece, by the way) just a magnified echo of the rise and fall of a single soul. Everything we are, everything we do, never before experienced in this way by these people in human history . . . and yet a nearly carbon...
