“The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed.”
@GreatDismal
I know lots of people who are already living in the future but how they are navigating the new world order in their every day life tends to constantly be in flux.
• How/What they delegate.
• How they integrate Personal AI into their lives
• When they choose to stay in the AI loop.
so I messaged a bunch of friends to see if they would yap with me on camera and share how they are already living in the future and decided to call it the
@alreadyhereshow
@samgaddis was the first person to agree to share his experience with the personal AI system he built for himself and his team that can turn meeting notes into email drafts, coordinate work through Slack, update his LinkedIn, maintain software, capture new ideas and even help him and his wife fight/communicate better.
One thing that stood out: Sam doesn’t use
@NousResearch's Hermes agent for coding or let it touch client repositories. He uses it for wacky one-off ideas he doesn’t want to sit in front of Codex or Claude Code to build.
Watch/Listen to the show and let me know what stood out to you.
