My buddy Steve is an AI Power User. Runs LLMs locally, has agents performing bizarre tasks, and dives deep while I dog-paddle in the shallow end. He recently used an “offline copier” to capture all 6,500 posts on my/this blog. He then used Hermes (see below) to analyze them and generate a fourteen page (!) essay.
Nonduality: Twenty-Five Years of Looking for What Isn’t There (PDF)
It felt strange to read it, even though I’ve had Perplexity and Claude do something similar. Like breaking into the office of a psychiatrist I’d been seeing for the last 25 years and reading her notes on my sessions.
The general tone was surprisingly flattering. I’d expect that from one of my AIs since they were trained for some level of engagement. To the extent I can be objective about something so personal, the essay was spot on.
Hermes Agent is an open-source, autonomous AI agent framework. Unlike standard AI chatbots that start fresh with every new conversation, Hermes is designed to be a persistent personal assistant that runs continuously, learns from experience, and accumulates knowledge over time.
