This is a collection of things that Kitty (the AI PA) created for the day. Starting with questions in the morning and then creating a todo list for me (Daniel) to follow. Suggestions for the day are also created (although I've put them at the end to make the layout better).

At the end of the day Kitty will ask some "END OF DAY QUESTIONS", which aren't included here, and then creates a journal entry, as if was written by me, which then gets written using Kitty's drawing machine into my paper journal.

JOURNAL

Tuesday has been quite the day of navigating challenges and realizations in the creative cosmos. I set out with a bit of apprehension about using a large language model while keeping privacy concerns in check. Experimentation seems to be the path forward, and as I dove in, testing became the theme. It’s like my own little sandbox, exploring the unknown to see what works best.

Caught between moments of inspiration and déjà vu, I stumbled across a project involving carbon copy paper. The twist? Someone beat me to the punch on Instagram with a similar ink transfer technique. It’s a fascinating reminder that while timing in art is usually just coincidence, it's important not to hold back ideas until they're perfect. Creativity waits for no one!

The day was all about balance — a series of small victories and planning for the future. My three goals: probe more into the privacy implications of LLMs, savour some delightful meals, and enjoy a relaxing evening. It's about finding space to breathe and making sure a bit of personal care fits into a busy schedule.

I managed to nail down some plans in place for the day at Flickr HQ. Meetings dotted the schedule: one that was initially due for 10:00 was nudged to 10:30 and another brace at 4:00. Between these, there was a window to play with different LLM APIs – a delightful mix of research and coding. A nice way to keep the mind buzzing while preparing for a cozy night ahead.

Reflecting later on the progress of the Kitty Daybook project and its renaming, it feels like a positive shift. A simple change can refocus efforts and tweak directions ever so slightly, a small but crucial pivot.

In essence, today was about learning when to release creative ideas, appreciating the here and now, and finding joy in the quiet spaces between busy moments. Life’s a bit of a balancing act, and today, I managed not to drop any of the balls.

SUGGESTIONS

Main Suggestion for the Day:

Focus on experimenting with the carbon copy paper technique for the pen plotter. Although someone else has recently tried something similar, this unique approach still holds value and can enhance your creative expression.

Quick Action Points:

  • Select the appropriate pen: Before using the carbon copy paper, test different pens to determine which provides the best transfer without damaging the paper.
  • Document your process: Take detailed notes or create a video recording to capture your explorations, successes, and any challenges faced during this experiment.
  • Set a short timeframe: Keep the experiment short, perhaps during a specific window in your day, to maintain balance with other work commitments like researching LLMs.

Affirmation:

You are a versatile and innovative artist, always finding fresh ways to bring your vision to life. Your unique approach inspires those around you and adds value to the creative community.


Other Thoughts:

Consider integrating your exploration with carbon paper into your ongoing work, like the "Falling Water" project. Although someone else has explored the idea, your perspective and style will make it distinctly yours. This is also a gentle reminder that experimenting and putting ideas out there can be more rewarding than waiting for perfection. Also, continue to embrace the spirit of collaboration and shared innovation within the creative community.
