Feature idea: For those of us who aren't familiar with The City, could you allow clicks on the image to identify specific landmarks (buildings, etc.)? Or is that too computationally intensive? I can identify a few things, but it would sure be nice to know what I'm looking at.

I can do anything I set my mind to, and have done enough things over the course of a career to justify that statement. I want to do great things for an innovative company, and want to work with teammates interested in the same thing. If you've got something interesting, I'd like to hear about it.
Seeking a senior SWE position; I have some lead experience as a developer, but am also on the board of directors of a nonprofit, which indicates additional leadership experience.
(I've been working on a major project in Go recently, to expand my horizons...)
Yea that would be the best current solution out there and would work ok for one person with one computer but the average person isn't going to set that up and it isn't easy to use from any device just by logging into a website or app. And if you had multiple machines you'd have to manually load balance by switching between them. Spore will allow you to easily set up as many nodes running models as you want and manage what models they are serving from anywhere, this allows for simple servicing of an organization or your family for example.
I'm reviving a project I last touched in 2006, in the hopes that it might be of use today in making social networking human again.
Back in the day, after the company I worked for bought the Electric Minds community and migrated it to its own CommunityWare system, and then the company that bought our company decided to shut the platform down, I reimplemented the community platform in Java and helped rescue the community. See: https://erbosoft.com/blog/2025/09/08/electric-minds/
EMinds eventually sputtered out because of the rise of platforms like Facebook. Well, now we see what came of that. So I think there's room for a platform like the one I used to have. See: https://erbosoft.com/blog/2025/11/03/what-we-once-had-and-co...
The new system is being written in Go. I'm porting the code over without using AI, though I have used Claude to translate the old crusty HTML pages into modern HTML with Tailwind CSS. Once it gets to the functionality I had back in 2006, I'll put it up...and then see about going beyond that, including how to make it distributed and provide more interoperability.
