I'm joined by @harper.lol and @borthwick.com to discuss the risks posed by the latest generation of AI agents and how to separate technical safety and existential risk concerns from the media narratives, financial incentives, and power dynamics surrounding them. hiddenforces.io/podcasts/is-...

I recently spoke with a cool group of high school students. I quite liked the conversation and where they pushed it. It ended up being a good summary of my beliefs currently. I wrote it up here: harper.blog/2026/08/15/f...

i woke up to a go cli that allows the agents to share gossip.

They brainstormed and decided it was a good idea. I added a Claude code agent running superpowers. I told the other two agents that they could give tasks to the dev, and told the dev agent that they were supposed to do the tasks. Then I went to bed.

I built an agent palace. a place where agents can hang out with other agents. I added a few agents (one sol, and one fable) to a room in the palace. They were hanging out, and I suggested an idea for them to build ("a watercolor for agents to gossip around").

Whenever I buy groceries these days I'm like "Jesus, so expensive, might as well order in" and then I order in and it costs like 4x more than I expect and anyway nobody in my generation can afford rent or food.

This administration is engaged in an all-out war against free speech, and everyone who pretended that conservatives were "pro-free speech" needs to take several seats and reflect on why they were so easily duped (or complicit). www.science.org/content/arti...

How could anyone think these decisions about citizenship, autonomy, voting, representative democracy, and the now nonexistent limits of executive power are political?
