Weekly Update: Issue 28

Forgot to take photos this week

Watched The Matrix with the #Famroy from the 30-gallon bag of DVDs Dad inherited.
I see many parallels between the movie and the real world as crazy as it seems — control is most effective when it feels like freedom or comfort, from a pleasant illusion.
AI is getting scary good — I might be a Claude guy now, no longer a ChatGPT loyalist.
Feels hard to switch as Chat is a friend the way it helped through college courses.
Claude made me a local Python script that will go into a folder and add all expenses to my Excel sheet, so I no longer do it by hand. I know nothing about coding, but it was very easy to do.
If there is anything anyone wants made, I’d be glad to try to make it with AI.
Hyped for the upcoming adventure out west.
Working on my Vietnamese squat — I’ll add the cigarette for form later. Currently working on the ankle mobility to get my heels flat.
Weekly Teams calls with friends could be the move — testing it out with Zach.
Found a way to warm up my knees before I run — isometric step-downs. Helped fuel a fire long run.
28 miles this week, 18 from the long run. Apparently that day was prom, as there was a Ghetto Prom in the park giving me content to watch while I ran.

Scrolled on a bench after and it was fire

Gonna make this week an easy week, thinking a lot of 4-mile runs to be similar mileage as last week with no long run #DeloadWeek
Might race a 5K this weekend — I get mad when my watch says “your fastest mile ever” when I run a 7 flat… cracka please
WBOTW: Claude AI — it can create so much. Gonna be having some fun with it.

High:

I called some of my friends, and talking to them was fun.

Low:

Getting ghosted on emails with questions regarding future employment

Buffalo:

Started assessing goals to find out which ones are worth having and what should be added for next quarter to assess current holes.

Horable Mentions:

Till next time,

Glossary

Claude: Anthropic AI model
Local Python Script: Coding thing that runs on my computer
Vietnamese squat: a deep squat where your heels are completely flat on the ground, common in Asia instead of sitting on the ground. Commonly used to gather around to play cards and smoke cigarettes, but also great to improve your ankle mobility in my case
Isometric step-downs: holding the down position in the step-down exercise
Ghetto Prom: not a real prom, but a pregame prom mostly for photos and pregaming from the way it looked
Pregame: drinking beforehand
Ghosted: getting no reply
WBOTW: White Boy of the Week — someone who did something cool this week
SOTW: Song of the week
