+Okay, updates.
+
+I am on a break, for months already, not thinking about the usual web technology problems, because my doctors think I need full rest.
+
+I exercise regularly, almost everyday, and my wife constantly reminds me how I look so different now — maybe I can finally switch careers to modelling (kidding). I also play more guitar.
+
+Funny enough, the challenge for me is how to not have goals. Just play, just recover. However I politely told my doctor that I don't see it as recovery (i.e., "going back") but more like getting through, moving forward, and taking lessons I pick up along the way. That is me accepting that there really is no going back. But I'm certain now I will come through stronger and a little bit wiser.
+
+Technology is a life-saver. I track my heart rate, sleep, and activities. I use Large Language Models for mundane mental tasks like [private+secure translations](https://git.ayo.run/ayo/scripts/src/branch/main/ai-translate.sh) and [text-to-speech](https://git.ayo.run/ayo/simple-tts) — which, to me, is an important part of my journey.
+
+As what felt like a matter of survival, I dived into [python & deep learning applications](https://ayo.ayco.io/threads/115090396384901152), [networking, security](https://social.ayco.io/@ayo/115017059188609732), and [hardware stuff](https://social.ayco.io/@ayo/115312327860543421).
+
+I understood architectures on how users can be protected; accelerators for what is now, undeniably, a start of new kinds of computing; the ambiguity of how a huge pile of technologies are collectively being called "AI", how to avoid threats, and how to find value.
+
+One important lesson I can share now is this... It's a crazy world out there, and I think the greatest threat is losing touch of reality. With most of our work & life now digitized and AI systems becoming increasingly good at "generating" stuff, malicious people will take advantage by creating bubbles of reality that serve their purposes.
+
+Ambiguity is an enemy that gets used to manipulate people; and we cannot be complicit. Double check. Pay attention. Read between the lines.
+
+**All** bubbles are meant to burst.
