I want to acquire more skill in harnessing AI: supplying the right context, connecting tools, structuring memory, decomposing work, building evaluations, and verifying results.
That matters more to me than collecting clever prompts as if they were magic spells. The model is one component. The harness determines whether it can participate in a reliable process.
I will also continue testing and using local LLMs for personal work. They give me practical knowledge of what is possible without a permanent service dependency and where local capability still fails.
Local is not automatically better, and owning the hardware does not confer wisdom. It does help me maintain competence, privacy, and an exit option.

I will treat generative AI for music, images, and video far more restrictively. I intend to generate such works only extremely sparingly, use them only in private settings, and label them clearly as AI-generated or AI-assisted. I will not seek commercial benefit from them. This is a personal boundary, not a decree issued from a conveniently available moral mountain. It reflects my uncertainty about training sources, consent, attribution, compensation, output rights, and the effect on human creative work. Where I cannot resolve those questions to my satisfaction, restraint is the honest choice available to me. 33/34
