No matter what system you use, you will run into issues. Having the ability to track down what's causing the issues is the real fun. Spending time with community, using your sleuthing skills, being able to laugh at the mishaps, and staying flexible in the midst of the chaos are what contribute to the fun. Hopefully, we can find out what's causing the audio issues in TWIQ podcasts. Until then, I do have my suspicions.

We all need goals. I really appreciated this week's TWIQ episode that focused on goals, the benefits of stealing a goal, and how to support others as they achieve their goals. I was curious about Bug, Spaceduck, and Space Seagull. So, I asked Nano Banana to generate an image for me that shows the three of them, hard at work, making their goals for the year. Yeah, "Exploring other galaxies" sounds like a great goal to me! Might want to check for spelling, though!
What's yours? I'd love to know what your plans are for 2026.
Somewhere between generate and review, the real work comes back.
Trust is earned. It is not forced. It is reliable because you can plainly see that the interactions you experience are for your benefit, and in the end, you become better. The intent is service, and that intent is felt at a deep level, possibly even life-changing.
No, Baymax and Wall-E don't exist. But, they could. If the people creating AI worked from the intention of making the world a better place instead of making back the money they invested, we might see more connection and usefulness being generated. At the time of this writing, what we have is AI slop and people working to avoid Data centers being built in their communities.
If you are working to create a better AI, check your intentions, and think about what would be useful. What real-world problems can be solved? We have enough garbage - both online and on planet earth. Can we make an AI that can unite us and make us better? I don't know. Show me.
