I'm still loyal to Anthropic. Not perfect but I trust them. End of story.

Also consider how many people have to wear them every day or close to. How much they interact with food and packages that most of us eventually touch. Food for thought.

The problem I'm solving isn't just relating to tourism. It's much bigger and beyond Hawaii too. This is just the perfect place to test what I'm building.

I agree. It's overcrowded in places that are not built to handle that many people. The resentment between locals and tourists is growing, also between locals and people who move here with a lot of money and don't add any value to the community but demand a lot from everyone else.

You are right. I posted this partially because I live on Kauai, am working on a solution, and just to see what others thought.

This is definitely bigger than just Hawaii.

No, I live on Kauai and Maui before this. The Hawaii Tourism Authority runs ads on the radio for 'sustainable travel' and they want fewer people here paying more to curb overtourism and crowding, damage to parks.

I agree with them. I posted this to just see what others thought.

It's interesting how many people I meet from the tech world that move out here or vacation here often. I don't want to leave but would do some extended trips to places on my list for sure and always come back to one of the islands.

Design checks all the boxes for me. I am naturally gifted in this field, deeply interested in how everything works, how I can increase quality of life for all beings.

> There's a kind of excited curiosity that's both the engine and the rudder of great work. It will not only drive you, but if you let it have its way, will also show you what to work on.

We are going to meet one day PG and I will thank you for encouraging me since I was 17. I am 33 now and determined as ever.

I'll say it again: Facebook will become the next AOL, Yahoo. It's already set in stone. They are just playing 'not to lose' at this point.

I don't use FB at all, IG once or twice a week, SC a few times a months when I eat out nice or do something super cool worth sharing.

I use reddit every day and sometimes night. Favorite website of all-time.
