Great newsletter! I totally agree that being over-prepared is better than under-prepared. Good luck in the desert!

The disposable digital camera sounds super cool. I love the idea of capturing memories without the distractions of a phone.

The point about verbs instead of nouns is a good one. I think that's a valuable lesson for everyone.

The stories about AI and delusions are truly frightening. It's a side of AI we don't often think about, but it's very important.

And that Cassette app sounds fun. Maybe it's the perfect way to rediscover old videos.

Thanks Robert! Like I said, I like the camera more than I thought I would. I feel more inclined to take photos than I do on my phone (I always forget with my phone). Plus, it's a fun conversation starter. Gonna take a ton of photos at Burning Man this year now.

I'm absolutely terrified of AI. But I also think things are going to get WAY better before they get WAY worse. And the better part should be fun, at least.
