I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1549 - AI Agents Like Hermes Are Builders' and Tinkerers' Dream Come True! - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, October 15, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I've always been an explorer, an experimenter, a tinkerer, and a builder, and across many domains. I love diving in to figure things out, and to explore and experiment with what's possible, and then to begin building and fleshing out those possibilities, often in unique and novel ways. That's always been fun for me, and now with the advent of AI agents and agentic-AI frameworks, like Hermes Agent, I feel like a kid in a candy store, with an ever-expanding kaleidoscope of fantastically-fascinating and exceedingly-exciting worlds opening before me, at my finger tips.

Working as I've been with Hermes Agent over the last several months, the scope of what I'm able to do, and the speed at which I'm able to do it, have both jumped massively. AI agents are like builder bionics, immensely expanding the field of capabilities and possibilities.

Any software can now be decompiled, decoded, mapped, reverse engineered, replicated, and even made better as new iterations. Coding languages and software are now like a painter's brushes and paints, with our imagination being the canvas on which we paint.

Using AI agents and capable models, it's now very feasible to create and build our own applications, application suites, software frameworks, and even our own operating systems for our devices. The legacy coding and software games are being completely turned on their heads, due to an increasingly-wide diffusion, decentralization, and distribution of capability, in which pretty much anyone could develop and build almost anything.

It's also quite possible to create and refine our own LLMs, as well as the agentic-AI frameworks that we're using. Thanks to AI agents, the full software stack is becoming decentralized, distributed, and sovereign, completely removing the potential of nefarious corporate or governmental control. Across all domains, software included, power is being returned to the People.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just before 3PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, after which I got my machete and went on a banana hunt around the property, in search of harvestable bananas, of which I found three racks. Once I finished that up, and after a shower, I went visit Avi in La'a Pueo, to geek out on fascinating tech, and AI agents, for a short while. Upon leaving there, I headed to Wabisabi to make Avi (who's paying me to do so), Michael, and myself some food, to share dinner with them, then to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the small temporary fridge, and to return to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work some more with Hermes. I got through all of my notifications by just about 9:30PM, and after one last round of working with Hermes, I went to bed by about 11:30PM. I woke up just after 8AM, having slept well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to work a bit more with Hermes, and to write this post. It's now a bit after 1:30PM, 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 on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

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!

Join my Satsman Army! Satsman is by far the best, most engaging, fun, inspiring, and motivating, educational, and profitable way to earn Bitcoin/BTC that I've ever seen! You will not regret it!
