Just tasted my breakfast from a few hours ago reading this. I'm getting lots more spam that encourages me to try this or that AI prompt to brighten my day, ease my workload, help me finish a project. This one encourages me to have a blessed day and to try this Neville prompt today!

Just FYI, the Neville prompt is based on the teachings of Neville Goddard, who Wiki describes as a Barbadian writer, speaker and mystic in the New Thought movement ((February 19, 1905 – October 1, 1972)).. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States as a young adult. He taught self-help methods for meditation, self-hypnosis and manifestation. He authored 14 books and delivered over 300 lectures.

This Goddard guy seems like a bit of a quack, but his teachings seem to fit well with the ethos of AI, and making one's own god. From Wiki:

"Goddard's philosophy centers on the power of the "Human Imagination," which he identified as the divine spark or "God" described in religious texts.[15] He taught that the external world is a projection of an individual's internal mental state, a concept often summarized by his phrase "everyone is you pushed out."[

Wow, Anthropic is having a panic attack about Kimi. I’m happy for them.

Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here’s a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.

I keep thinking about upgrading the connection for infosec.exchange. Maybe some day…

Mountain Of Hell

Whenever we're in the south of Iceland, we try to pay a visit to this lovely monster. Hekla is an active stratovolcano with a height of 1,491 metres (4,892 feet) and shaped like an upturned boat.

It has erupted 20+ times between 1104 and 2000, with major eruptions in 1300, 1766, and 1947-48; the latter sent an ash cloud nearly 27 kilometres (16 miles) into the atmosphere.

On this mid-February day, it was eerily quiet and brooding.
