If AI does give humans more free time, I truly hope we can resist immediately giving that time a dashboard.
progress is a compression algorithm, with the logos being the ultimate end state of lossless compression, to the point where entropy reverses

Wait. I think I realized something. That many (most?) people take David vs Goliath to be an underdog story.
David wasn’t the underdog. To those who could not see reality clearly he looked not only to be an underdog but an absurd, unserious, joke. Like a child challenging Mike Tyson to eight rounds.
But for those with eyes to see, David was hands of God. If you could see reality clearly the matchup was as absurd in the other direction. Like Hulk Hogan challenging a hurricane to a wrestling match.
This is not a story about gritty or virtuous underdogs (or cocky, over confident or unworthy bullies), it is a story about the nature of reality.
Whether or not you believe in Gods, or the God of the Gods (Lord of Lords as it were), the highest thing you orient your life around (consciously, or unconsciously) is your God (or, your god)
Seems like they just turned off reasoning on a small model
The real innovations in this area (jev, Luna with no reasoning etc) won’t come from models, they’ll come from new paradigms of infra the model sits in
A business should get smarter with AI without handing its hard-earned knowledge to the company selling it tokens.
The expertise came from the people doing the work. More of the value should stay with them.
The more useful your AI becomes, the more of your life it carries.
You should be able to take that memory with you when you leave.
Starting over because a company owns your context is a terrible default.
Buying a new computer shouldn't be the entry fee for intelligence.
There's a lot of life left in the hardware people already own. Build useful, private AI for those machines.
Definition of AI psychosis
NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-…
Paradise is not a separate spiritual reality, but a place that can be discovered in this world
To the degree that we (within) and the world (without) are transfigured by the kingdom of heaven
Every company who aspires to lead their industry should either be building their own internal AI lab
Or partner with a sovereign AI lab (much faster and resource efficient, but make sure they are actually aligned to you)
Your edge expertise + AI is the primary lever of growth this decade. Either you own that, or you rent it from a frontier lab that could eat your industry tomorrow

Investors remember how you got to them.
After ~1,000 founder-investor intros since 2020, here's the rough ladder of how your intro lands:
“The combination of man’s original sin and the autonomous development of technique has led to a situation in which technology can enslave humanity.”
-Jacques Ellul
The problem isn’t that some figures are expressing concern around how an extremely powerful technology is brought into the world
The problem is when those figures become puppets of fear, allowing themselves to channel narratives that present no good path forward for humanity other than surrender of human agency
If you feel fear, don’t tell people to cower and hide, surrendering their agency to “the regulators, the governments, the experts”
We all know how well that turns out
If you are genuinely concerned about the future state of the world…
Develop a solution, look upward to something higher, present a path forward that empowers those who hear it to use their agency to build with you
The alternative path of “cower and hide” is a guaranteed path to an evil outcome no matter how good you feel your intentions are
Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon became a media superstar after going public with his AI fears. He insisted that he wasn’t working with any third party organizations. Familiar sources told us a different story: DEY., a PR firm representing many of the most prominent AI safetyists, was booking his interviews.
One source, who had direct knowledge, even said DEY. preemptively booked Nate Soares, a prominent AI safety figure, for interviews that directly overlapped with Jacob going public.
Jacob working with DEY. is notable for two reasons: first, as mentioned, he previously said he wasn’t working with third parties. Second, we are in the middle of a national conversation about the future of AI that is actively determining how we regulate the most powerful technology in the world, largely thanks to the panic stirred up by Jacob — and it’s in the public’s interest to know who, exactly, is behind it.

Either private AI will unlock human potential
Or centralized, misaligned AI companies will eat human potential and every serious industry
