Any sites that give nice barebones explanation of the results? I imagine filling more of the blanks myself instead of AI is part of the exercise, but a nice starting point can help.

Before getting tied up with bureaucratic nonsense my daughter was looking at starting a "borrow a grandma / grandpa" club at her university. The idea was to connect students with elderly people who are lonely, and they could have tea / coffee together. The elderly get to be social with a younger generation, and the younger generation gets to understand the struggles that a lot of elderly people face.
I think that the university was concerned with liability. I still think that it's a good idea.
Maybe a scheduled get togethers of a retirement home group with a that student org either at the home or the university could work. That way it's easier to have a person trained to chaperone, a more controlled environment, and reduced general overhead for planning.

Chiming in here, M1 Max MacBook Pro 64GB using gpt-oss:20b over ollama with Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot is unusably slow compared to using Claude Sonnet 4, which requires (I think?) GitHub Copilot Pro.
But I'm happy to pay the subscription vs buying a Mac Studio for now.
Ollama's implementation for gpt-oss is poor.
Failing for me too.

I don't care that much.
This level of knowledge about me can also be easily found on the internet.
I'm also working almost entirely on open-source software so I'm happy if the AIs know more about my projects.
But this, of course, only applies to me.
Fair enough. The majority of it does seem useful.
From what it logged about you, it does seem you're working on some cool stuff too!
Interesting

"1": "User prefers concise responses for direct factual queries but detailed, iterative explanations when exploring complex topics. They often ask for more refinement or detail when discussing technical or business-related matters. User frequently requests TL;DR versions or more succinct phrasing for straightforward questions but shows a tendency toward iterative refinement for strategic or technical discussions, such as AI applications, monetization models, and startup valuation. Confidence=high.",
"2": "User prefers a casual, direct, and slightly irreverent tone, leaning towards humor and playfulness, especially in creative or informal discussions. Frequent use of humor and irony when naming projects, describing AI-generated images, and approaching AI personality descriptions. They also request ironic or edgy reformulations, particularly in branding and marketing-related discussions. Confidence=high.",
"3": "User enjoys back-and-forth discussions and rapid iteration, frequently refining responses in small increments rather than expecting fully-formed information at once. They give iterative feedback with short follow-up messages when structuring pitches, fine-tuning visual designs, and optimizing descriptions for clarity. Confidence=high.",
"4": "User highly values functional elegance and minimalism in coding solutions, favoring simplicity and efficiency over verbosity. In discussions related to Cloudflare Workers, caching scripts, and API endpoint structuring, the user repeatedly requested smaller, more functional code blocks rather than bloated implementations. Confidence=high.",

For AI model personality descriptions and startup pitch structures, they pushed for community insights, deeper research, and non-traditional perspectives instead of bland, default AI descriptions. Confidence=high.",

}Thanks for posting this! I haven't used ChatGPT much due to worries of something like this possibly existing.
Curious if this make you less or more likely to use OpenAI products in the future?

I remember some blog (maybe HackADay?) suggested sanding the back to give it a brushed aluminium look and that ended up looking so cool. Those early iPods were all-time-great products.
I remember masking off a flame pattern and doing the brushed aluminum look!
I recommend buying the book though. It is fascinating whether or not you buy into it.
