The latest updates to Pegasus were determined by asking myself "what is the most fun demo I can imagine?" and then working on making that happen. Not actually a bad way to roadmap.

I understand that Kier Starmer is very proud that we have freedom of speech in the UK. He also had a very nice conversation with Churchill yesterday, and the UK economy is doing very nicely indeed.

I've been using AI for a small weekend code project and it was really helpful! Code had errors and hallucinations but I think it can be really helpful for devs with coding-debugging experience. I can't imagine someone with no experience solving the issues it generated... 😵‍💫
