I like mixing bleeding edge tech with historical themes. I asked Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol to design an Eastlake style shadow box filled with 19th century American antiques using Blender. Almost inspired to learn woodworking and actually make one of these.

@krqe Well that's funny. This is the same crap question I keep seeing in shitty political ads over and over again.

@KOB4 Why do a debate when she's already won? x.com/jonahlyn/statu…

@krqe I always thought they should have done a long time ago. But can they clean that shit up already?

What I don't understand is why was Harry Potter working at Anthropic to begin with? I mean, nobody's talking about this!

We will die from global cooling in 10 years. We will die from global warming in 10 years. We will die from a virus in 10 years. We will die from overcrowding in 10 years. We will die from intolerance in 10 years. We will die from Ai in 10 years. The answer to all of these is to

@thenewmexican No way is this serious!? 🤣

If there's anything you've ever wanted to learn, think about this.

My son had six weeks to pass a math assessment that he failed. We used AI to do it. AI has the ability to revolutionize education and homeschooling. Maybe that's why Democrats want to ban it in school districts. x.com/i/article/2097…

Happy Labor Day, America, and especially to the state of New America. Congrats on the new name! 🇺🇸

I kinda like it 😁

My Mom tells me stories of when my Great Grandmother had her first bathroom added to her house. It was a big deal. She was born in 1896 and before that used the outhouse that was right outside her front door. I try to take nothing for granted.

This site is a beautiful read. It walks you through an ordinary apartment and lets the past tell you how extraordinary it all still is. ordinaryabundance.com

I want to warn you against a super popular trend that I see happening everywhere right now. AI Hate Porn There's a growing number of creators who are going viral for shitting on AI in general, and Anthropic in particular. To be clear, there are tons of good reasons for caution, concern, and even negativity about all of this. I'm not talking about balanced criticism. I'm talking about AIHatePorn, where you basically turn your whole schtick into constant, funny, salty, bashing of whatever new AI tech or policy you don't like. It's basically playing on people's natural fear and negativity during an insane moment of change. If it were about something that doesn't matter, I wouldn't be saying anything. People can make whatever content they want. My issue with this is that I think it does overall harm. The subtle, underlying message for AIHatePorn is basically this: "Don't worry too much about AI. You don't need to be an expert in it. It isn't the future. It's a giant capitalist scam run by unethical people, and it will soon blow up and go away. Instead of learning it, you should watch more of my content where I make fun of it, because that makes you feel good." I think it's poison. It literally squirts dopamine into people's brains as a reward for taking AI less seriously. Which, I would argue, is a REALLY bad attitude to have right now. I think the right approach to AI is more balanced. 1. This is massive and it's not going away 2. Everyone who wants to be competitive in a workplace needs to get really good at it 3. There are a million claims related to AI and its capabilities, and you need to learn to tell the difference between grift and signal 4. The grift does NOT counter the signal. The investment bubble does NOT counter the urgency of learning this stuff - AI Hate is fun. It's entertaining, including for me. And many of the points being made are completely valid and useful. What I'm trying to warn against is getting lulled into inaction on learning AI because it FEELS so good to go negative. I don't think that helps anyone except the creators putting out the content.

@KOB4 Who didn't see this coming?

I actually think the whole "permanent underclass" narrative is wrong. I think we're about to see the largest EXPLOSION of entrepreneurship in human history. I get why the fear exists. Jobs are getting cut. AI researchers are privately saying most people are screwed. The models are getting ridiculously better and faster than anyone expected. Project that forward linearly and yeah, it looks BLEAK. But linear projections are usually wrong during platform shifts. Nobody projected that the internet would create 50 million small businesses. They projected Walmart would eat everything. Nobody projected that mobile would create a million app developers. They projected phones were just phones. What actually happens is intelligence gets cheap and a flood of new builders enter the market with domain knowledge the incumbents never had. Millions will get laid off or just never hired over the next 24-36 months. Those jobs are not coming back. So they become entrepreneurs. Out of necessity at first. Then out of opportunity. The underclass idea is VIRAL because it confirms something people have been feeling for a decade. That the ground is shifting and nobody at the top is reaching down. And they're right. But the interesting thing about this particular technology is that it doesn't check your resume or your zip code. The same tool that eliminates your position hands you the ability to build the thing that replaces it. The weapon and the escape hatch are the same object. We're about to see more new companies started in the next 5 years than in the previous 50. And I think we're going to look back at this moment the way we look back at 1995. Everyone was scared. Everyone was right to be. And the people who built anyway became the next generation of owners. I know you might be reading about the permanent underclass and it's scary. Who wants to "get stuck in the permanent underclass no one. My POV is the permanent underclass isn't a foregone conclusion. I know some people are genuinely struggling right now and "just go build" sounds tone deaf when you're worried about rent. I get that. But the reason I'm optimistic is that the cost to start something just dropped to nearly zero, intelligence on tap, and eveyr category/industry you can think of is getting reshuffled. The explosion of entrepreneurship is just beginning.

Iran’s digital blackout has now deployed military jammers to shut down access to Starlink. “Despite reports that tens of thousands of Starlink units are operating inside Iran, the blackout has also reached satellite connections. It is reported that about 30% of Starlink’s uplink and downlink traffic was initially disrupted, quickly rising to more than 80%,” according to the Iranian opposition news website IranWire.
