Jev may have its (narrow) use cases but the hype you see around is the perfect representation of the fact the greatest part of the AI bubble don't know what is important and what is not. Jev is a minor thing happening on AI compared to all the rest, yet the hype exploded.

Daily bunny no.3414 makes a mean carrot soup
Four small bunnies line up outside of a very small kitchen, waiting for a pot of carrot soup. A larger bunny wearing an apron watches the pot intently, which is boiling. The smaller bunnies have bowls and the larger bunny has a ladle

Daily bunny no.3391 is a-traveling on
A bunny with a small guitar wanders down the middle of a road through a grassy plain. It is evening, and there are just the rolling plains behind him

1. I have hesitated for the last few months to post something like this because it feels wildly self-important, but it’s getting to the point where I have no choice. I owe many people — some of whom have been very kind to me over the years — return texts, DMs, phone calls, emails, etc.

Extremely depressed about Iran. The situation keeps getting worse and the war, unsurprisingly, has done nothing to improve the lives of Iranians and only has made it worse. I haven’t been able to reach many of my family members for weeks.

Aging was supposed to happen in base 12, not base 10. You're actually meant to be a kid until 12, a teenager until 24, a 20-something until you're 36, and in your thirties until you're 48. Your 40s should last until you're 60. That's why every decade milestone (30, 40, etc.) feels premature.

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion. NASA / NOAA / Ian Regan

I appreciate that Israelis call it what it is: a war. These Iranians who are trying to run a marketing plan and say things like “it’s not a war, it’s a rescue operation,” are absurd. You’re not flying one helicopter in to save a few people. It’s a war!!!

Small apps you build with agents don't need to be written in a "sandbox" then "deployed". You can develop them in situ on the server. That is the premise of exe.dev/new.

a bunny on a balcony faces another bunny on a different balcony opposite theirs. They are in neighboring apartment complexes. The two bunnies each hold one end of a rope, and bunny on the left passes a bucket with flowers down the rope to the bunny on the right.

When CEOs say AI is writing 90% of the code, it doesn't mean what they think it means. LLMs are prolific at writing duplicate, bloated, and over-engineered code. It's also phenomenal at writing tons of unit tests in minutes (also code). Code output is 3X higher; value creation is another question.

We need to make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well. The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions. We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media

[21/30] 226 Likes, 73 Comments, 2 Posts 2507.12213, astro-ph․EP, 21 Jul 2025 🆕Is the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Alien Technology? Adam Hibberd, Adam Crowl, Abraham Loeb
At this early stage of its passage through our Solar System, 3I/ATLAS, the recently discovered interstellar interloper, has displayed various anomalous characteristics, determined from photometric and astrometric observations. 

As largely a pedagogical exercise, in this paper we present additional analysis into the astrodynamics of 3I/ATLAS, and hypothesize that this object could be technological, and possibly hostile as would be expected from the 'Dark Forest' resolution to the 'Fermi Paradox'. 

We show that 3I/ATLAS approaches surprisingly close to Venus, Mars and Jupiter, with a probability of $\lesssim 0.005$\%. 

Furthermore the low retrograde tilt of 3I/ATLAS's orbital plane to the ecliptic offers various benefits to an Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (ETI), since it allows the object access to our planet with relative impunity. 

The eclipse by the Sun from Earth of 3I/ATLAS at perihelion, would allow it to conduct a clandestine reverse Solar Oberth Manoeuvre, an optimal high-thrust strategy for interstellar spacecraft to brake and stay bound to the Sun. 

An optimal intercept of Earth would entail an arrival in late November/early December of 2025, and also, a non-gravitational acceleration of $\sim{5.9} \times 10^{-5}$ au day$^{-2}$, normalized at 1 au from the Sun, would indicate an intent to intercept the planet Jupiter, not far off its path, and a strategy to rendezvous with it after perihelion.
