The #peeragogy community trained a #chatbot on the peeragogy handbook. Now the peeragogy community has trained it to turn drafts into prompts and prompts into peeragogical exercises. (peeragogy is collective learning without a teacher):

"𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 π’Šπ’” 𝒂 𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒗𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 π’π’‘π’‘π’π’“π’•π’–π’π’Šπ’•π’š!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

I'm learning to make little cartoons. Pity my family!

Anyway, with that in mind, I'm thrilled to announce that we got an ISBN for π‘«π’‚π’π’„π’Šπ’π’ˆ π’Šπ’ 𝒕𝒉𝒆 π‘Ήπ’‚π’Šπ’ yesterday, so we are pretty close to being in print! I celebrated by putting together a little cartoon that showed my patience through the process.

I've also been tracking the weather for this weekend for a wedding shower for some good family friends. It's been looking like rain, but the forecast suddenly started to look better. I created a little cartoon to share this good news with my close friends.

All of this has come about as I continue to relentlessly explore the creative opportunities that are AI. (I haven't even touched on the massive explosion of creative innovation occurring with AI video. Suffice it to say, that the Bible, Titanic, and Star Wars will never be the same. If you are on social media, you will know.)

What is the point of all this? I continue to learn new skills, exploring the depths of opportunity and challenge with all the new technologies that surround us. This brings me to the point of today's post - I spent a little bit of time yesterday, pulling together this PDF and website - 101 Learnings for a Better Life. It's a series of lessons that I've worked to summarize over time that tries to summarize my approach to things. It's at betterlife.jimcarroll.com

I would encourage you to read it and share it - you might find some optimism among the gloom that seems to be a big part of our world today. And in fact, that's the origin of today's quote - because our future truly is a canvas of endless opportunity! I asked ChatGPT to summarize my 101 learnings and that is what it came back with!

Oh, and if you would like a personal little 6-frame cartoon with my 'little guy', send me a message with what you are looking for!

What is the relationship between connection and attachment when people come together at meetings? A painting by John Singer Sargent offers a clue.

I finished the scarf πŸ’š
Big enough to work as a light shawl but narrow enough to work as an actual scarf once it gets cold. I am moving to New England soon, hopefully projects like this will make me more positive about snowy weather...
