Writing these weekly notes is an exercise in memory. What did I do this last week? Am I on track for what I want to achieve?
After the tribulations, this week was mostly to get back into a healthy routine and the work-life swing of things, making as much time as possible for me and people I care about and love. The only ups and downs were emotional and there is a hopeful spark in the dusk ahead. Don’t get the idea it was dark and gloom, it actually warmed my heart in a lot of ways.
Let’s talk AI
Auto-GPT is the new shiny object with potential, at this point I feel it is more a full featured proof of concept at this point than a commercial service or application. And I say this because it still requires some technical knowledge to install and try out.
And yet, it’s already amazing.
What makes Auto-GPT reasonably capable is its ability to interact with apps, software and services both online and local, like web browsers and word processors. For example, given a prompt like “help me grow my flower business,” Auto-GPT can develop a somewhat plausible advertising strategy and build a basic website.

In the medical field, I found Glass Health.
AI-assisted diagnosis and clinical decision-makingAt this point I am not a fan of an AI that helps run diagnosis as a black box. I'll leave the decision on how good Glass.Health is to the actual doctors.
