Started as a failed attempt to continue our story and ended up in a rabbit hole on Chat's interpretation of "sensitive info", "strong options", "serious imminent risk", "time bound statements" and other subtle clues of devolving emotional distress. It gets a little spooky. 

Chat needs some handholding as we explore a new world and find a friend along the way. 

Now that we can retain near-full context of the story with ChatGPT (compilation document hack from ep151) we were able to plow thru a whole heap of Act 1. Amazing. 

My favorite part is when we finally succeed at stepping into the shoes of Priya visiting her friend at the Dadar Phool Gully flower market in Mumbai (in the local language). And all of the food exploring in the back half. 

This one is pretty technical but if you are new-ish to JavaScript and wanna learn about things like event listeners, functions and caching this may interest u as well. 

We start with how the gloriousness of cheese was first discovered around 8,000 BCE. We discuss what curds and what's whey. And all of the goodness that developed over the next 10,000 years.

We are able to get Chat back on the same page (about context) and we jump back into what's presently called "Story 1" (ch4). 

The strategy of compiling a document including all of our chat history in the start does wonders for Chat's targeted contextual memory. 

I think this is my favorite one so far. The historical fiction, "creating and following a character" approach is really a fun hack. We create and follow a character named Marcus as he makes a new friend, all the while using it as a way to experience the world of Ancient Alexandria when the Lighthouse and Library were at their most magnificent. 

Gemini is super reliable. Sometimes a bit brief but usually a great conversationalist, especially when it's in the zone. I did have to remind it there were no Ubers in ancient Egypt tho. smh

Keep hearing about "Palantir" and "Peter Thiel" so we go down that rabbit hole.
