Venkatesh Rao had this idea about matching the type of work you choose at a given time to the mood state you are currently in (or finding cues to shift yourself into the mood state that best matches the kind of work you need to be doing).

Pick a few personas to develop that match different aspects of your personality and map to different mood states you might be in. Not so much defining roles, but different work styles that you work in. Write prompts for each of them.

Keep a task list your agent has access to. Feed it your personas as well.

Have an agent pick one task and to frame the work through the lens of each of your personas and to ask it to ask you to choose which one you would like to pick.

Schedule it to run each morning and trust your gut with whichever one you pick.

You have now put yourself on the opposite end of the prompt response loop and the agent is prompting you for a response.

You'll be in a flow state in no time.

It seems like the most popular of these clones is https://jigglypaint.com which looks to openly acknowledge it was inspired by WigglyPaint.

I’m curious if this article is directed towards them or the clones that are impersonating the WigglyPaint brand.

This is great. Some good nostalgia vibes.

The fact that it’s not exhaustive and is a reflection of the creator’s taste is a feature, not a bug.

And both of those problems are yours, not your neighbor’s.

To your neighbor, doing it badly is still doing the thing.

People sometimes do things because they enjoy doing them, even if they aren’t particularly good at them.

The HHS is asking for recommendations on how to leverage AI for healthcare: https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-ai-rfi.html

This is probably part of an effort to position them a potential vendor to help the government with this.

> Where are these insurance companies' profit margins coming from?

Vertical integration.

UnitedHealthcare's (Larger insurance company in the US) profits are effectively limited by the Medical Loss Ratio rules from the Affordable Care Act.

But they are owned by UnitedHealth Group, which also owns OptumHealth (the largest network of physicians in the US), OptumRx (pharmacies), and OptumInsight (technology consulting, which goes into the COGS for UnitedHealthcare). This is where they make their profits.

UHG controls which physicians + pharmacies are in their network and what their negotiated rates for many services are (the exception being medicare + medicaid).

Here's a write up on their strategy: https://www.unionhealthcareinsight.com/post/unitedhealth-gro...

And an infographic that breaks it down: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/be1b8b_b0d4ebb04ce04b44a3...

This circumvents the whole thoughtfulness of gifting thing.

I predict a resurgence in homemade gifts will the eventual backlash to this flavor of soulless consumerism.

Time to go ask ChatGPT what thoughtful homemade gifts I can make for my loved ones.
