I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1380 - AI-Tech Hyper-Acceleration, and Building an Agentic Operating System - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, May 8, 2026

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 7 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

When I said that AI tech, which included AI models, AI agents, and agentic frameworks and systems, is developing more quickly than any other area of technology in which I've ever had experience, I seriously wasn't kidding. The pace of development in the AI space is accelerating to hyper-speed, and equally as significantly, everything is coming to a convergence point, what some have called the Singularity. Just saying that gives me the chills, because there is indeed a pernicious AI-transhumanist agenda that is working to fully enslave, and eventually, eliminate humans. Having that awareness, and working in such a focused and passionate way regarding building my own Agentic-AI framework, gives me a bit of cognitive dissonance, because I certainly don't want to support that insidious agenda.

I'm more of the mind that these are extremely powerful open-source meta-tools that can be used for both good or for evil, and I am determined to use them, and what I build with them, for the true benefit and good of humanity. To do that, I need to learn these agentic-AI tools very well indeed, and that's exactly what I'm in the process of doing now.

I can't even keep up with the rapid developmemt just with the Hemes Agent, and it's developing at a similar accelerated pace as the other AI agents, frameworks, and tools, and the underlying AI models that orchestrate the whole agentic flow, so it's a hugely daunting endeavor. Making my best attempts at doing that, as I'm learning how to utilize it to its full potential with my present set-up, is what has been taking time that would usually be spent on Hive, though I'm still working to balance it all.

I came across an incredibly fascinating YouTube video this morning, How To Build a Personal Agentic Operating System, and it quite blew my mind, and what it's describing is pretty much exactly what I'm already in the process of putting together, one important part at a time. I've already installed a skill that allows Hermes to view and extract information and transcripts from YouTube videos, and I asked it to use it to extract, analize, synthesize, and summarize the content, and finally to add that into our obsidian knowlwdge database, so that I can work work Hermes to begin implementing this concept within my current setup and framework. I can't tell you how exciting this is for me. I'm sure you can understand why I've been staying up so late into the night!

As I'm typing this, Hermes is beginning to create workflows and skills needed to implement each of the important foundational concepts into our present operations. This will, as the process progresses, make my entire agentic-AI system a whole lot smarter and more intelligent over time. This is mind-blowing stuff, my friends!

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after wrapping up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, quite late again, by about 3:30PM, givening my attention first to some photography for my posts, and to a few small jungle-community tasks. With those completed, I took a quick break up at the Flow House, after which I got my machete to do some clearing work around two citrus trees near the Flow House, and to go scour the property in search of hsrvestable bananas (I found one rack). Once I had those tasks done, I took a shower, made myself some food in Wabisabi, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to do more AI-tech research, to work a bit more with Hermes, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done a bit before 10PM, and after some much-needed asset management, and working with Hermes one more time, I went to bed by a bit after 12:30AM. I woke up just before 7AM, still feeling that I needed a bit more sleep, working with Hermes again, watching a few YouTube videos on Hermes, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to watch a few more Hermes/agentic-AI YouTube videos (including the one that I shared above), work with Hermes some more, and finally to write this post. It's now just after 1:45PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
