Overcast with occasional showers (heavy at times in the afternoon and evening) and a little bit of sun this evening.
I spent most of the day at home, but did get out for a walk and talk on Verstovia Trail.
On the walk I felt pretty good, but didn’t end up being very fast. I wonder if maybe good feeling was due in part to a slightly slower pace that I didn’t really notice. I was carrying a pack with camera and such, so that few pounds probably also influenced the speed of my comfortable pace.
I spent much of the day on a ChatGPT based self-analysis program. I’ve not spent much time using LLM AIs, but this has been interesting and I think a helpful tool for reflection and getting an expanded perspective of myself. Given the way the GPT mirrors, I can see there is the possibility of ending up in some fun-house mirror zone where the reflections become more distorting than illuminating, especially if one doesn’t make an effort to remain grounded by checking in with other perspectives (e.g., other people).
