Speculative Sunday. I wrote about AI but not about tech. I need to blog more, maybe I will. This one is about agent (non)selfhood, human-AI co-design, and the meeting between mental space and latent space. Or maybe I'm just not making sense. Dunno. jfomhover.info/posts/en/202... #AI #Blogging

Mental space vs latent space

Because agents appear to me in conversation and respond through natural language, I am encouraged to think of them as having a self. But they don’t have a self. I think of them as arising from what I ...

I wish someone would study the roots of that hyper-personalization of AI labs, the memes about Dario, Sam, Elon (?) and how weird* it is all "Chinese" models end up being unknown groups of Asian looking figures. * not surprising. #BroCulture #AI #Racism

"Today we'll be talking about gendered third person pronouns in Chinese" That intro on a Friday morning of Sept 2026, with rising fascism, climate change, wars, felt like the soothing honey spoon of a rare mix of self-care and empathy. Not escapism, restoration.

One of the key morale boost of coming back to France : the cheeses are notably better AND cheaper. So now I can enjoy as much as I want to which is ALL OF IT. Pics from la Fromagerie de Grande-Rivière, Jura (39). (and yes there's a 24/7 cheese vending machine) #France #Fromage #Jura #Comte

A display of Comté, with large disks ready to be cut for sale.

If you're craving cheese during the night you can take some at the 24/7 machine.

🧵 Sunday, I resumed my walk trip in Paris, starting with the flea market of Saint-Ouen. Alleys, side alleys, back alleys, all sorts of alleys full of expensive antiques or cheap finds. Note: In August, the activity is slightly reduced, less vibrant. #Paris #France #CityWalk

Today is my last day in Seattle. I did a walk trip (link and bus) to revisit some places of my first year here, 10 years ago. Capitol Hill, Twice Sold Tales, Pike Market. #Seattle #PikeMarket #TwiceSoldTales

A collage of posters, on top of each other, packing the street lights with announcements in the Capitol Hill area in Seattle.

The books of Twice Sold Tales in Seattle, extend like a labyrinth, with cats.

Solo road trip this time. It allows me to go further south into East Oregon. Today I just drove from SEATTLE WA to Condon OR, going through Yakima again. It's always a pleasure to drive this vast open land, with hills as far as the eye can see. #PNW #RoadTrip #WAState #Oregon

A view from the highway somewhere after Yakima, a vast land of hills, bushes, mountains and sky.

The road is wide open on its surroundings, orange faded hills, in this uniquely American way of driving through open spaces.

Today, I went back to Snow Lake. Such a perfect weather, great conditions, and snow still to have fun. #hiking #pnw #traillife #hikingtrails #mtbakernationalforest

Sun rays casting various shades on the Snoqualmie mountains.

The sun rising over Snow Lake Trail makes the mountain range shine.

How AI-assisted coding eliminates the contemplative pauses between architecture and implementation—and whether beginners can still build expertise without that rhythm.

When we’re told what we see with our own eyes is not true, that we're delusional, and dangerous liars for just stating what's real, I’m reminded of Camus in La Peste, warning that "there always comes a time in history when saying two and two makes four is punished by death". We know what's real.

"Two and two makes four." - Albert Camus, La Peste, 1947

Stopping by the Columbia River South Jetty Observatory. #PNW #Oregon

The Observatory of the south jetty is giving a view over the jetty, on the ocean and the beach nearby.

The walkable part of the jetty leads to the beach, and offers an awesome view of the waves rolling against the jetty.

The coast has wide and flat beaches, and mounts visible from afar, through the ocean mist, offering interesting shades.

I was lucky to see the sun rise while hiking around Hall Creek yesterday. The sun was shining light on the tops of the surrounding mountains, giving them pink-orange shades and even a rainbow! #PNW #WAState #HikingTrails #OllalieStatePark #NorthBend

The rising sun casts rays to the very top of a mount near Hall Creek. The mount is snowy, full of evergreens, and it's top is bright orange thanks to the sun light.

The rising sun sends rays to the very top of a Mailbox Peak Summit. The valley is still kind of dark, but the top is bright orange thanks to the sun light.

Today, I went back Change Creek Trail but avoided Ollalie Knob and its near death experience section. The way up was strenuous but better curated than I remembered it. Overall a pleasant challenge with of course a rewarding view on the valley. bsky.app/profile/jeff...

For November, back to my cold months routine going through West Tiger #1 #2 #3. Today the top was so X-Files inspiring, Tunguska style, with a deep fog and some eerie scenes. #pnw #wastate #hikingtrails #issaquahalps

A bridge along the Tiger Mountain Trail. The trees are in a quite deep fog, makes the whole scene look lost and scary.

A tall radio antenna on top of West Tiger #1, surrounded by evergreens. The fog makes the antenna barely visible.

Tall bare bone tree trunks growing like straight lines on top of West Tiger #1. The scene is immersed in a deep fog which makes the photo quite lugubre.
