Note: See the "rich" version of this newsletter on my website hereI couldn't be happier about the positive reactions to my new projects and newsletter.Last week I released a small plugin for the Logseq text editor, and I've been getting a lot of positive feedback on it from all over the world.Logseq is an open-source note taking application. It allows you to write "plugins" or "apps" for the text editor you can release for others.A new type of AI or "Artificial Intelligence" called GPT-3 just came out and can be used to write notes. It can write your book report if you ask it to "Write a book report on Hamlet."I released a plugin for an AI assistant that can write articles and answer questions for you.This technology is brand new and much better than Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant.One of my favorite things about being a coder is thinking of an idea and building a tool for myself that solves a problem. Once I make a helpful tool, it's just a little extra effort to put it online and share it with the world. I'm trying to make more of my projects and writing publicly available.I had fun looking at the Twitter bios of people talking about the plugin. One plugin user is a self-described "Chaotic good statistical learning Ph.D. candidate working to strengthen humanitarian health systems" precisely the type of person I want using the plugin! It feels good that I can enable others to do real world work like this by knowing a bit of coding and how to get the code out there.The plugin is called logseq-gpt3-openai and lets you send commands to this powerful AI system from inside your text editor. It can do a lot of things like write and summarize articles. It's pretty easy to get started. Download it in the Logseq marketplace, and let me know what you think!In this newsletter, I'll share some of the community's reactions to my new AI plugin, some thoughts on productivity, a few interesting reads from the week, and what I have in mind for the next newsletter issue.
