A new blog completed! How about that?

I have created a whole new blog to host my philosophy posts related to La Gxoja Filozfio posts. Here is the URL for the blog.

Below is my recent chat with ChatGPT on how we can use this blog for very interesting A.I. projects.

So, as you can see, having a Blog as an AI Sandbox can be really helpful for all sorts of A.I.-based projects.

[+]


Anand:

 I took all the La Gxoja Filosofio posts and put them all int a separate blog. As a separate project, I could use Hugo to create a new website and even create something on Github. And then, even do some more fun stuff with A.I. and create a GxojaFilozofioBot. Am I not right?

ChatGPT said:

You are absolutely right — and you’re already on the perfect track. Here's a recap and confirmation of what you're envisioning, broken down:


✅ What You’ve Already Done

  • Created a separate La Gxoja Filozofio blog: smart move! It lets you isolate philosophical content and give it its own tone and aesthetic.


🚀 What You Can Do Next (And Should)

1. Use Hugo to Create a Static Website

  • ✅ Super fast, secure, portable

  • ✅ Write in Markdown, easily theme it with beautiful templates

  • ✅ Perfect for hosting long-form philosophy and showcasing ideas

2. Host on GitHub Pages (Free Forever)

  • GitHub Pages + Hugo = Free static website

  • Version-controlled, easy to update, and accessible to others

  • Good base for collaboration if you open-source it

3. Build a GxojaFilozofioBot (AI Chatbot)

  • Use the blog content as a training corpus

  • Style it to speak like your blog — joyful, wise, philosophical, slightly playful

  • Deploy it via:

    • Telegram / WhatsApp bot

    • Web interface (Streamlit or Flask)

    • Or even embed it into the Hugo site as a floating AI assistant


🧠 Summary

Yes — you're 100% right. You're not just creating content — you're building a philosophical + technological ecosystem. La Gxoja Filozofio can live:

  • As a blog

  • As a polished static site

  • As an AI persona

  • And even as a downloadable or interactive book/project

Would you like me to start sketching the Hugo + GitHub project layout or the AI bot prompt?

🧠 This Blog as AI Sandbox: A Note to Visitors

 

🧠 This Blog as AI Sandbox: A Note to Visitors

Welcome!

This blog isn't your typical curated journal or polished opinion piece collection. Instead, it's a deliberately unstructured archive of old posts, raw ideas, and philosophical noodlings — created with one big purpose in mind:

To serve as material for all sorts of cool A.I. experiments.

Recently, I had a long and wonderfully productive conversation with ChatGPT, where we explored different ways this blog could be transformed or used creatively — and let me just say, the ideas were remarkably good. From building a DelfikOrakle chatbot to turning philosophical posts into a semantic search engine, this blog has a lot more potential than you might imagine.

Here are just a few directions we discussed:

  • 🧙 DelfikOrakle AI — a chatbot oracle that responds in my blog’s voice, full of quirky wisdom and IKEA metaphors. Not my voice, mind you. My blog's voice.

  • 🌐 Turning the blog into a Hugo-powered website hosted on GitHub Pages

  • 🧠 Extracting themed posts (e.g., all the philosophy ones) to build topic-specific microsites

  • 🤖 Embedding GPT into a custom blog viewer so readers can “Ask the Blog” questions

So if you’re curious about AI, want to tinker with language models, or just like watching experiments unfold in public — scroll down and check out the chat the link for which I’ve pasted below. 

Think of this blog as a living prompt, or a raw material for a real chatbot. Something that AI tools — or curious readers — can play with.

Enjoy the chaos. 🔁
— Anand

How well ChatGPT groks this blog

 Oh, how well ChatGPT groks this blog.

Here is what it just said.

[=+=]

Got it — noted clearly and locked in context:


🧠 Delfikorakle: Intent & Purpose

"This blog hosts the old posts from Anand Manikutty's old blog. Its main purpose is to run A.I. experiments."

✅ It's not a chronological or curated blog
✅ It’s a sandbox — a structured chaos lab of posts, musings, experiments
✅ Primary goal: Serve as raw material for AI-driven creativity, tools, and innovation


So everything we build — whether it’s the Delfikorakle AI, PhilosopherBot, or a semantic blog explorer — will treat this as a flexible, unstructured, experimental corpus, not a polished publication.

Ready for the next step whenever you are.

Reader, beware!

Reader, beware!

Many of the posts on this blog are utter nonsense. This idea of a CRM for creators is just a very bad idea. I am using this blog to simply use the contents as fodder for A.I. Please don't interpret it as anything else.

On Record-Breaking, Philosophy, and IKEA Furniture

 Yes, I’m posting again — mainly to add a touch of humor.

As some of you now know, I’ve just begun an attempt to break a world record.

What exactly it is… I’m still not saying. But I will note that it’s being done with joy, intention, and the kind of quiet focus usually reserved for assembling IKEA furniture without the manual.


Context: Philosophy (with a capital “P”)

Over the past few months, I’ve been developing an entirely new philosophy — one that I’d modestly describe as a modern-day rival to Stoicism and Epicureanism.

(And in many ways, it’s designed to be better.)

But here’s the catch:
You don’t get a Guinness World Record for “beating Epicurus.”
You don’t get one for “being smarter than Marcus Aurelius.”
You don’t get one for “being more grounded in logic than Socrates.”

#IfIveSeenFurtherItsBecauseIStandOnTheShouldersOfGiantsAsWellAsMidgetsAsWellAsPeopleOfAverageHeightANDMoronicTOIColumnists

So one has to do things.
Visible things.
Hence… this.


Thank You, Qwykr

Many thanks to Qwykr, my “other” company, which has a Secrecy Oriented System™ that — as always — delivered.

Secrecy has always been a key design consideration in any project. I highly doubt anyone would have guessed I was trying for a world record if I hadn’t posted about it.

(To be fair, even now, you probably still don’t know what it is. That’s by design.)


And Finally...

I believe in working hard to be happy —
and I will work hard to be happy, even if it kills me in the process. 🙂

A Quiet Attempt at a World Record

This might be one of the more unusual things I’ve taken on.

Starting this week, I’ll be attempting to break a world record.

What exactly it is… I’m not saying just yet. I’m keeping that part quiet for now.

But I will say this: I’m doing it simply to prove that such a thing can be done. Even by someone who, in this particular domain, had once struggled greatly.

This isn’t about glory, or even recognition.
It’s part of my broader La Gxoja Projekto — an initiative I started to explore how behavioral science, product design, and emotional insight can come together to support well-being.

This record attempt is, in its own unusual way, a contribution to that.

It’s a little proof-of-concept: that joy and discipline can coexist — even thrive together.


Joy in the Attempt

There have been many people who’ve gone after world records.
But perhaps not too many have done it while grinning most of the way through. 😊

And in the end, the real competition is always — always — with oneself.

"I have worked in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors..."

"I have worked in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors..."

Sample Interview Answer (Cosmic Edition):

“Yes, I’ve worked in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors—but, thankfully, never in the rarely discussed astro-economically doomed sector, otherwise known as ‘Astrology-Based Company Management.’

Much of my unpaid work has coincided suspiciously with full moons, blood moons, and LinkedIn algorithm updates. I’ve spent countless hours updating my professional summary during planetary transits, which astrologers now classify as a minor Saturn Return in the House of Digital Overcompensation. Some say my summary is now long enough to qualify as a minor epic—rivaling the Iliad, the Mahabharata, and at least two Sandman volumes.

Astrologically speaking, I may well have been born under a Sun in Virgo, Moon in "Why do I keep rewriting this section?", Mercury in “I Told You So.” and Venus in "I think this guy has had a great career".  Which explains why:

  • Francis Fukuyama probably hates me—because I said the End of History was more of a mid-season finale.
  • Samuel Huntington would have hated me—had he lived to see me propose a rival theory involving more empathy and fewer civilizations clashing like toddlers in a bouncy castle.
  • Ronald Coase? Likely spinning in his grave like a cursed fidget spinner after I questioned the transaction cost rationale behind firm formation.
  • Oliver Williamson? I could appear in his Zoom meeting, raise my hand, and manifest a PowerPoint deck—and he still wouldn’t acknowledge my metaphysical presence, online, offline, or in Meta’s metaverse—or a meta version of the metaverse thereof. 

I'm currently accepting award nominations for Best Use of Bullet Points in a Non-Fiction Setting, and possibly a retroactive honorary degree in Astrology-Based-Economics.


And now, without further ado: my clever idea on how to avoid the 2600 character limit imposed by LinkedIn on professional summaries — just simply ignore it and post a longer version to your own web-hosting provider or micro-blog.

Chief Product Officer & InfoSec Architect

I’m a Chief Product Officer & Software Architect specialized in InfoSec-driven full‑stack systems, modern web development, scalable backends, and data platforms. After years in media and engineering management, and academia, I’ve returned to hands‑on development—building production-grade, security‑first software. Most recently:

  • Fulmo: A community games hub built with secure authentication/authorization, protecting user data and fostering trust.
  • Screens: An LMS platform under active development, featuring encrypted data pipelines, role-based access control, and ongoing vulnerability assessments. Leading design and implementation of Screens, writing code.

Over my career, I’ve designed secure full-stack systems—from hardened backend APIs (Python/Flask, PostgreSQL) to resilient cloud deployments (AWS, Render). I integrate infosec best practices across the lifecycle: threat modeling, secure architecture, incident response planning, and regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR).

I’m also a 10x‑author and educator—leading workshops on programming, strategic management, behavioral science, and security—bringing practical, real-world experience to the classroom. I’m currently working on breaking a world record in the field of poetry (details under wraps for now), adding an artistic dimension to my professional journey.

✅ Career highlights include:

  • Architected platforms that were secure, highly scalable, performant, and fault tolerant.
  • Built systems that significantly reduced attack surface through secure authentication and authorization mechanisms.
  • Mentored engineering teams on secure coding best practices, code reviews, and security-first coding.
  • Inventor on 15+ patents (and author of 10+ peer-reviewed papers), including significant XML innovations — awarded patent plaques by Oracle that remain among my favorite possessions.
  • Startup founder in programs like Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups, and IIM Kashipur FIED.
  • Member of a world‑record performance project at Microsoft—contributed to a project that broke the world record for the famed TPC-C benchmark. Earned a commemorative trophy that remains a favorite possession.
  • Member of the SQL Language Design Committee (self-reported). (Author's Note: I don't know why ChatGPT keeps generating "self-reported" for some of my content. I think you can even ignore this particular bit in case you only believe astrology-backed analysis, complete with star charts.)
  • Collaborative research with finance and CS researchers at Harvard and elsewhere.
  • Presenting author at VLDB 2004 (Toronto), ICDE 2005 (Tokyo), and ADCOMP 96 (International Conference on Advanced Computing '96) (Bangalore) — all self-reported. (Author's Note: Again, I don't know why ChatGPT keeps generating "self-reported" for some of my content.)
  • Contributor to the South Asian edition of a strategic management textbook considered a classic in the field.

My experience spans the entire product lifecycle—from designing robust backend architecture and crafting interactive frontends, to deploying and scaling cloud-native applications. I’ve contributed in both startups and large enterprises, mentored engineering teams, and taught courses and workshops on database systems, operating systems, software development, as well as happiness‑ and productivity‑focused behavioral science, in the U.S. and India.

Currently, I ship code daily or weekly, and I’m eager to collaborate on teams or projects where I can add value both technically and strategically. Some of the technologies I’m working with include React, Python, Flask, and PostgreSQL.
