I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1520 - 36k HP Today, and Solid Progress with Hermes on Our Autonomous Liquidity-Pool Agent - Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, September 16, 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 8 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As of this morning I'm on the very edge of 36,000 Hive Power, so I'll notably surpass that significant milestone today, with 36.1k Hive Power coming by around the middle of the coming week. It's still incredible to me just how far I've come with my Hive Power, and in various other Hive metrics as well. While my account isn't quite at Orca Level yet, it's not really that for off any longer.

A new anonymous stealth (AI) model, Union Alpha, was opened for free public testing yesterday across mutltiple inference providers, for a period of 5 days, just like the previous very-capable model Ox Alpha (which was released soon afterward as GLM5.3-Flash), with which I did some very productive work over the course of four days. I've been working with this new anonymous model since last night, and I'm quite impressed so far.

There is a fair bit of disagreement among the AI sleuths on X as to whether this new model is a new version of GLM, or whether it's actually a composite of various models being used together. Regardless of what it actually is, it's very capable indeed, and I've been making huge strides since last night in Hermes with it, working on our autonomous liquidity-pool agent.

Since last night, we've refactored and rewritten, optimize and streamlined, and made the pool-agent's code base far more integrated and coherent, as we tie up all of the remaining loose ends in its functionality. It's glorious how much progress can be made within very short periods of time using strongly-capable models.

At the current pace, Hermes, using Union Alpha as its brain, will hopefully be able to get everything working as it should with our pool agent within about a day or two. That's pretty bloody exciting, I've got to say. We're doing our testing on the @hermes-sandbox account with very small amounts of assorted tokens, to get its operational logic solid, before we deploy it to manage, leverage, and grow much larger quantities of hordes more tokens on other accounts. We're getting very close!

Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just after 3PM. I left a bit late, partly because I was still working with Hermes on our pool agent, and because I had a headache, so I laid down on my bed for a short while. Once I did finally leave the Flow House, my headache made it so that didn't really have the focus or energy to do any notable land work, so I laid on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for a bit, hoping for sun to appear, which it did a tiny bit through the clouds. After that, and some photography for my posts, I took a hot shower, which helped, made myself and Avi (who's paying me to do so) some food in Wabisabi, shared a meal over interesting conversation with him, and collected my leftover superfood fire coffee in the fridge, before heading back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work with Hermes as bit more. I got through all of my notifications by a bit after 9:30PM, and after a very good round of work with Hermes, I went to bed by a little after 12AM. I woke up around 6AM, having slept well and feeling better, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, before returning to the Flow House, for another round of work with Hermes, and to write this post. It's now just before 12:15PM, so it's a very good 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 to walk over to my friend Lea's property to help her with moving furniture, and to share dinner with her. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of these posts! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!
