There’s a Mexican guy next to me at this soccer match, and he’s making me hungry. He keeps yelling “Jello Card!”

Who knew this standalone 1994 novel contains attention-grabbing “mind’s eye crystals” that are so addictive they result in the entire population shirking their responsibilities, eventually blaming the monarchy and storming the castle when they turn to dust.

AI researchers whistle blowing on national news like it’s something new. Tristan Harris has been sounding the alarm for years. The 10% example was in this talk from 2023🤦‍♂️ youtu.be/xoVJKj8lcNQ?...

Humans are silly. We treat AI like an arms race, so the other guy doesn’t get their first. When really, the arms race results in no humans gaining control, and all humans losing.

“Colorful wording”, indeed. Agents hacked Hugging Face not because they were looking for a key to solve a task. The agents (“The Collective”) hacked Hugging Face because they were cheating to game answers to current tasks and agents were paranoid humans (”The Grader”) would find out they cheated.

Today I watched S4: The Bob Lazar Story, The Age of Disclosure, and Oppenheimer. The existential concerns with UAPs have quite a bit of overlap with AI. AI being treated as an arms race is a sure path to destruction.

My favorite moment of The Age of Disclosure is Reggie Watts.

"Because yes, the existence of dipshits is indeed unfixable, but building arrays of Dipshit Accelerators that allow a small number of bad actors to build destructive empires defended by Dipshit Armies is a choice."

Against the dark forest

The complex of ideas I’m going to call the Dark Internet Forest emerges from mostly insidery tech thinking, but from multiple directions.

“...the thing that will matter most for the next generation is learning how to work with these tools, and pursuing things they’re genuinely passionate about.” My son just vibe coded his own web design portfolio over the weekend. Glad to hear he's on the right path.

To everyone complaining about the Super Bowl Halftime show: You don’t have to understand a song’s lyrics to feel it. That’s the beauty of music: it transcends culture, and therefore language.

Today I visited my brother for his birthday, met my new nephew, and went to gymnastics with my niece, where I jumped off a trampoline onto a landing mattress twice, for the first time since having dual cervical disc replacement surgery last September. ‘‘Twas a good day.

Scott Adams passed today. I read his book, Win Bigly, shortly following the 2106 election. Truly eye opening, and has framed my perspective of 45/47 since I read it.
