all right so this is my uh this is my all right so this is my uh this is my all right so this is my uh this is my update for my build-in public log for update for my build-in public log for update for my build-in public log for December 16th December 16th December 16th 2024 uh since this is about AI or me 2024 uh since this is about AI or me 2024 uh since this is about AI or me building AI tools and agents and trying building AI tools and agents and trying building AI tools and agents and trying to have a business about AI I I thought to have a business about AI I I thought to have a business about AI I I thought it would be appropriate to do my update it would be appropriate to do my update it would be appropriate to do my update in a whmo self-driving car so uh here I in a whmo self-driving car so uh here I in a whmo self-driving car so uh here I am I’m uh I’m in a wayo self-driving car it’s my first time so uh honestly car it’s my first time so uh honestly car it’s my first time so uh honestly it’s terrifying it’s terrifying uh I it’s terrifying it’s terrifying uh I it’s terrifying it’s terrifying uh I don’t know I’m kind of used to it by now don’t know I’m kind of used to it by now don’t know I’m kind of used to it by now um it’s really so a few a few things I um it’s really so a few a few things I um it’s really so a few a few things I didn’t didn’t didn’t realize realize realize um by the way this is my random story um by the way this is my random story um by the way this is my random story that I’m in at wh that I’m in at wh that I’m in at wh number one it doesn’t go in the freeway number one it doesn’t go in the freeway number one it doesn’t go in the freeway so I’m in La uh and it’s slow as so I’m in La uh and it’s slow as so I’m in La uh and it’s slow as like it’s anber is much faster because like it’s anber is much faster because like it’s anber is much faster because it hops on the freeway um this this it hops on the freeway um this this it hops on the freeway um this this doesn’t hop on the freeway and doesn’t hop on the freeway and doesn’t hop on the freeway and it doesn’t care about where it takes you it doesn’t care about where it takes you it doesn’t care about where it takes you like it will take you through the worst like it will take you through the worst like it will take you through the worst worst neighborhoods I realize pretty worst neighborhoods I realize pretty worst neighborhoods I realize pretty quickly um so let’s hope nothing happens quickly um so let’s hope nothing happens quickly um so let’s hope nothing happens to a poor passenger and they have to to a poor passenger and they have to to a poor passenger and they have to pull over uh because it goes through pull over uh because it goes through pull over uh because it goes through kind of some dodgy area so kind of some dodgy area so kind of some dodgy area so um that’s that’s one thing I experienced um that’s that’s one thing I experienced um that’s that’s one thing I experienced a lot in in other countries is Google a lot in in other countries is Google a lot in in other countries is Google Maps has no concept of bad bad Maps has no concept of bad bad Maps has no concept of bad bad neighborhoods so it will take you it’ll neighborhoods so it will take you it’ll neighborhoods so it will take you it’ll you know to save you three minutes it’ll you know to save you three minutes it’ll you know to save you three minutes it’ll take you to like the most horrible take you to like the most horrible take you to like the most horrible neighborhood and you know the developing neighborhood and you know the developing neighborhood and you know the developing world that you don’t want to go through world that you don’t want to go through world that you don’t want to go through at like 1:00 a.m. um so that’s kind of at like 1:00 a.m. um so that’s kind of at like 1:00 a.m. um so that’s kind of one of my big issues with Google Maps is one of my big issues with Google Maps is one of my big issues with Google Maps is you know you know you know it doesn’t take those kind of cultural it doesn’t take those kind of cultural it doesn’t take those kind of cultural things into consideration but uh it’s things into consideration but uh it’s things into consideration but uh it’s pretty mind-blowing being in this thing pretty mind-blowing being in this thing pretty mind-blowing being in this thing it’s it works I mean somehow they pulled it’s it works I mean somehow they pulled it’s it works I mean somehow they pulled off driving in in the middle of La uh off driving in in the middle of La uh off driving in in the middle of La uh pretty impressive it’s pretty cool uh pretty impressive it’s pretty cool uh pretty impressive it’s pretty cool uh you get in and there’s like Zin music you get in and there’s like Zin music you get in and there’s like Zin music you know it’s like feels like you’re out you know it’s like feels like you’re out you know it’s like feels like you’re out of spa I really wish they’d give you of spa I really wish they’d give you of spa I really wish they’d give you water I’m pretty thirsty but it’s a water I’m pretty thirsty but it’s a water I’m pretty thirsty but it’s a really long car ride I needed to kill really long car ride I needed to kill really long car ride I needed to kill some time anyway so it’s fine but uh some time anyway so it’s fine but uh some time anyway so it’s fine but uh pretty cool so my update for today is uh pretty cool so my update for today is uh pretty cool so my update for today is uh I spent the whole weekend doing I spent the whole weekend doing I spent the whole weekend doing freelance work on a on an on a huge AI freelance work on a on an on a huge AI freelance work on a on an on a huge AI agent actually um kind of pushing the agent actually um kind of pushing the agent actually um kind of pushing the boundaries of what is possible when it boundaries of what is possible when it boundaries of what is possible when it comes to web scraping pretty interesting comes to web scraping pretty interesting comes to web scraping pretty interesting uh digging into the code and seeing uh digging into the code and seeing uh digging into the code and seeing seeing that and I came up with a I seeing that and I came up with a I seeing that and I came up with a I thought it was a was a nice technique to thought it was a was a nice technique to thought it was a was a nice technique to to do one feature I don’t know if to do one feature I don’t know if to do one feature I don’t know if they’re going to keep me keep me around they’re going to keep me keep me around they’re going to keep me keep me around working on that um I don’t know I working on that um I don’t know I working on that um I don’t know I haven’t heard anything give it 50/50 haven’t heard anything give it 50/50 haven’t heard anything give it 50/50 they want me to keep working uh honestly they want me to keep working uh honestly they want me to keep working uh honestly I got kind of um stuck understanding the I got kind of um stuck understanding the I got kind of um stuck understanding the new code and ended up taking me longer new code and ended up taking me longer new code and ended up taking me longer than I thought and I had a hard kind of than I thought and I had a hard kind of than I thought and I had a hard kind of stop uh on how much I could work on it stop uh on how much I could work on it stop uh on how much I could work on it so wasn’t as good as I thought it would so wasn’t as good as I thought it would so wasn’t as good as I thought it would be uh codewise but um we’ll see we’ll be uh codewise but um we’ll see we’ll be uh codewise but um we’ll see we’ll see what the client says um it was kind see what the client says um it was kind see what the client says um it was kind of so it was a test run uh you know okay of so it was a test run uh you know okay of so it was a test run uh you know okay here’s here’s one feature jump in the here’s here’s one feature jump in the here’s here’s one feature jump in the code at it and you know basically if code at it and you know basically if code at it and you know basically if they like what they see they like what they see they like what they see then they’ll they’ll keep me on working then they’ll they’ll keep me on working then they’ll they’ll keep me on working on this thing if not then you know I I on this thing if not then you know I I on this thing if not then you know I I kind of they kind of we go our separate kind of they kind of we go our separate kind of they kind of we go our separate ways so we’ll see what they think um I ways so we’ll see what they think um I ways so we’ll see what they think um I thought I I thought I did a pretty okay thought I I thought I did a pretty okay thought I I thought I did a pretty okay job jumping in and only spending a few job jumping in and only spending a few job jumping in and only spending a few hours so uh and I and I think I came up hours so uh and I and I think I came up hours so uh and I and I think I came up with a really good technique to kind of with a really good technique to kind of with a really good technique to kind of help it help the agent navigate uh help it help the agent navigate uh help it help the agent navigate uh scraping so it’s really cool I’m I want scraping so it’s really cool I’m I want scraping so it’s really cool I’m I want to I want to work on that more that to I want to work on that more that to I want to work on that more that project more so we’ll see uh the nice project more so we’ll see uh the nice project more so we’ll see uh the nice thing was that was a paid that was paid thing was that was a paid that was paid thing was that was a paid that was paid work so um it was a like I said a paid work so um it was a like I said a paid work so um it was a like I said a paid trial run to see if I would uh be a good trial run to see if I would uh be a good trial run to see if I would uh be a good fit for the for the project team or I fit for the for the project team or I fit for the for the project team or I don’t know if there’s a team it might be don’t know if there’s a team it might be don’t know if there’s a team it might be just that one just that one just that one guy uh yeah that’s pretty much it uh no guy uh yeah that’s pretty much it uh no guy uh yeah that’s pretty much it uh no work on the no work on the business work on the no work on the business work on the no work on the business stuff uh other than kind of some stuff uh other than kind of some stuff uh other than kind of some research me researching things on my way research me researching things on my way research me researching things on my way down here and uh researching down here and uh researching down here and uh researching self-driving cars that’s self-driving cars that’s self-driving cars that’s I I guess that kind of counts as a I I guess that kind of counts as a I I guess that kind of counts as a business expense anyways that’s all I business expense anyways that’s all I business expense anyways that’s all I got uh we’ll see about tomorrow’s update got uh we’ll see about tomorrow’s update got uh we’ll see about tomorrow’s update I’ll be really really busy might be like I’ll be really really busy might be like I’ll be really really busy might be like a on the Fly video like this again but a on the Fly video like this again but a on the Fly video like this again but uh yep stay tuned for more
