First of all, we should all stop engaging with AI. I don't get it. Why are people integrating these bots into their lives? I don't want AI to analyze a story, to edit a story, to give me ideas for a story. I don't want it to tell me about history. I know it's going to be in my life in ways I can't control, but I don't use it.

Then, how do I find meaning in life? Every day I try to do something for someone or something. Make a little difference. Even here on Hive. I curate for two communities. I try to spread the good cheer around by upvoting (from those communities) worthy blogs that could use a little boost. Not a big deal, but it means something to someone. I try to do something consciously every day that will make someone feel better.

Everything falls away, eventually. How do we find meaning, knowing this basic truth? It's a cliche to say live intentionally--but that is exactly it. Think, at least once a day, about how to affect someone else positively. That feels really good. I don't know if that is purpose, but it certainly is purposeful :)
