the little red man stops me every few blocks for hours on empty japanese side streets. we both know there aren’t any cars. it’s not about cars. i’ve lived too fast, he knows people, he watches them all day. he knows i need to stop, and uses his seven seconds of power as a gift

> Study math > Admire structure and beauty > God must have good taste > Build AI to glimpse mind of God > It’s maggot sludge
I'm starting to think mathematics were not beautiful because it "describes the beauty of nature" but rather because human mathematicians only went after beautiful but suboptimal descriptions lol

I don’t watch live sports anymore, huge waste of time. Instead I consult a panel of frontier models, they simulate the game and report back on the outcome along with a curated “suite” of emotions I would’ve felt while watching.

Artists: but I don't want to lose my job. I love it. Mathematicians: but I don't want to lose my job. I love it. Economists: LONG HAVE I AWAITED THIS HOUR! DESTROY ME, EFFICIENCY, AND LET UTILIZATION-ADJUSTED TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY RISE ON THE WIND OF MY ASHES!
