If you’re there, come say hi - I have pink shoes on.Sam says they've "found a new thing".I have the embargo of all the things they’re launching but I’m sworn to secrecy and I’d like to be invited back, so I wont divulge, but rumours are going around X and some things are what we are expecting…I also have my Stanford talk later today, and I’ve been up since 2am 😩, I don’t usually suffer with jet-lag so what a great day for it 🙃.

Hello again :)I went to Legoland yesterday with the kids - very impressive to see all the cities they’ve built with lego.

Hi folks,I’ve not been building as much this week 😬 - hand, foot and mouth is back in our house (happens yearly with 3 young kids!), and I have to get prep done for my Stanford talk on the 28th - they invited me back! I’ll be in SF that week, heading to OpenAI Dev Day on the 29th to see what goodies they have in store for us - I predict we’ll see some stuff today, and they’re bound to have a personal agent up their sleeves to release very soon (pure speculation though).
