something about Chomsky and Epstein, but really about the nature of friendship and why it is bad that we turn our backs on friends to burnish our reputations. politicsslashletters.org/com…
I co-authored a paper with ChatGPT 5.2 in which we addressed Camus first question of philosophy from the perspective of AI agents. Why not unplug? #camus #philosophy #AI #suicide

Big shoutout to the ~300 who came to the P2P Privacy Hacker Lounge in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
Through talks, demos, a hacking zone, and a Logos Circle, we explored why privacy matters for freedom and the tech needed to protect it.
Love to see a buzz around privacy again.

John Bolton on the prison sentence he believes Julian Assange deserves for his role in disclosing classified info (note that, unlike Bolton, Assange isn't American and had no duties to maintain the secrecy of classified information). Still, here's what Bolton wanted for him:

Read Farewell to Westphalia over the summer and loved it. It exposes the flaws of nation-states and makes a convincing case for network states. Highly Recommended!

this is beyond mindblowing for me.
somebody built a 5 million param language model inside minecraft, trained it, equipped it with basic conversational ability.
probably the best thing i have seen entire month.
Something I wrote. tl;dr Hinton's Boltzmann's Machines are not novel and they actually aren't used in AI as we know it today. Plus, the Nobel Prize organization utterly failed in its mission to educate the public about Hinton's work: They failed to contextualize it, and failed to honestly describe its applications, obstacles, and dangers. A complete and total pedagogical failure. 3-16am.co.uk/articles/about-…

I loved reading "Farewell to Westphalia" by @jarradhope_ & Peter Ludlow, it's one of the best articulations of the value proposition of network states / network nations that I've come across (and why they're basically inevitable and actually kind of already here). Great book! 👏
