Kind of amusing to read this on Bluesky given that this exact thought... inspired Bluesky.

So there's been a lot of talk in AI circles about Jevons Paradox and @hankgreen.bsky.social has one of the best explainers of it I've seen (including that it's not a paradox), but I want to add something to it. Towards the end of the video, Hank says... www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6sY...

I’m turning 30 next month. Instead of gifts, help me erase medical debt. $1 wipes out ~$100 of it. Undue Medical Debt buys it in bundles for pennies and forgives it, no tax hit. You just get a letter saying you don’t owe it anymore. unduemedicaldebt.org/campaign/shr...

Building a fun little light rail tracker! You can see on this site when the 1, 2 and T Line trains/streetcars will be arriving at the station. I also have a little toggle view so you can see future stations and what the hopeful final state of the network will be like.

I think about this comic all the time.
Comic by drawer of drawings on Instagram. A detective stands in a kitchen that looks like it's splattered with blood. The detective says, mother of god. Nothing human could have done this. In the bottom panel it says, earlier. And there is a dog uneasily holding a ketchup bottle with its paws trying to put ketchup on a hamburger.

Entirely because of construction, which is bad, but the data center isn't drawing groundwater and this all happened before it was turned on. This shows up every month and gets like 10k likes every time.

Going forward
We are going to do several things differently to avoid these issues: we’ll ensure that a larger share of internal staff use the exact public build of Claude Code (as opposed to the version we use to test new features); and we'll make improvements to our Code Review tool that we use internally, and ship this improved version to customers.

We have told Boris to log off.

We’re also adding tighter controls on system prompt changes. We will run a broad suite of per-model evals for every system prompt change to Claude Code,

It's almost like the software that fixed 271 vulnerabilities in FOSS software might be useful in closed software too, and security through obscurity isn't secure at all. Seriously, if we removed the word "AI" people would think this product was revolutionary and everyone would cheer it on

I don’t think centralization is particularly necessary here because OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RESPONSE NETWORKS ARE NOT A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION but he’s 100% correct that the fetishization of anonymity over the core goal, spreading information, is strangling their effectiveness

The wellness bros are panicking.
Bryan Johnson tweet, Feb 1, 2026:

8 years ago I met Epstein via zoom. A mutual contact put us in touch as I was building my brain interface company Kernel and he had supposedly done some neuroscience stuff at MIT. 

After a ten minute video call I immediately called the person who put us in contact and told him that Epstein seemed like a very dark person. I felt sick to my stomach. I also told him I that never wanted to speak to him again. I remember this so clearly because I knew nothing about him but weirdly, intuitively, something was deeply wrong. Being in his proximity felt dangerous.  Despite having nothing to go off of, I never interacted with him again and came to find out years later that he'd had a fucked up past.

"We are going to have to live here with each other" is one of the most revealing things he could have said, because it ignores the fact that many people in America have had to live in the same streets and towns as those who dehumanise them - and to accept that grim reality - for their entire lives.
