That's entertaining. Lots of it is accurate, but some of it misses the point.
From the simple.ai news letter, they talk about "The solution here is portable context". I started that project called "me" to see if I can build up context about myself in an explicite sort of way. What does "me" look like so far? Here is the structure of it so far.

It's not particularly good so far, but I haven't put much energy into it. It did pick up a lot of folks that I've worked with, but it misses many many key people.
depicts a detailed, conceptually split digital illustration that juxtaposes traditional exploration and geography with modern artificial intelligence, data science, and robotics. The scene takes place in a grand room lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in the background, looking out onto a dark sea under a starry night sky.
The composition is neatly divided down the center by a glowing vertical line and a prominent, luminous keyhole shape. Inside this central keyhole stands a glowing, wireframe human figure, symbolizing the bridge between human intellect and technological advancement.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the two sides:
The Left Side: Traditional Exploration and Mapping
This side represents classical cartography, navigation, and human-driven geography.
The Analyst: A man is seated at a wooden desk with his back to the viewer, looking at a computer monitor displaying complex node diagrams and system architectures.
Physical Artifacts: On his desk rests an antique-style paper world map, a rolled-up scroll, and a detailed model of a historic three-masted sailing ship navigating a stylized, sculpted block of blue ocean waves. A second, smaller ship model sits on the corner of the map.
Glow and Overlay: A sweeping, crescent-shaped arc of glowing green light frames this side. Embedded within the light are symbols of classical navigation: brass compasses, sextants, a small globe showing Earth's continents, and floating digital icons of keys and a credit card.
The Right Side: AI, Data Science, and Robotics
This side represents the modern era of automated exploration, neural computing, and digital landscape modeling.
The Android/Cyborg: Seated opposite the first man is a futuristic humanoid figure with visible cybernetic components on his neck and hands. He looks over a highly digital workspace.
Data and Analytics: Multiple holographic displays float before him, showcasing glowing 3D brains, neural network graphs, bar charts, financial-style line graphs, and pie charts. A large network of glowing lines connects various nodes, including icons for padlocks (security), dice, and gears.
Physical and Digital Models: His desk features a miniature robotic space rover (resembling a Mars rover), a robotic arm mechanism, scattered white dice, and a vibrant, color-coded 3D topographic terrain model displaying elevation contours and a central crater lake.
The Background
The transition between the two sides is stitched together by a shared background featuring a massive library filled with old books and a view of the Earth visible from space, surrounded by a starry cosmic sky that fades into a bright horizon over an open ocean on the far right.
