the way i think of it is that philosophy used to be everything, but everything that can be carved off into math or science is carved off into math or science. philosophy is left with the weird stuff nobody else wants

there can’t be any verified experts on training or aligning super-intelligence until either has been accomplished

Using em dashes in 2026 is a status symbol — a sign of not living in fear

The scapegoat child usually starts off perfectly healthy — full of potential, resilience, and their own personality. But the narcissistic parent cannot tolerate that because it threatens their fragile ego and false narrative of superiority. So they begin a cycle of systematic stress and sabotage:
—Constant criticism, arguing, shaming
—Sleep disruption, manufactured chaos, and emotional whiplash.
—Isolating the child from support, so no one can validate their experience.
—Gaslighting and projection, making the child feel like they’re “the problem.”
Over time, the child develops complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related struggles — not because they were flawed, but because they were ABUSED INTO THAT STATE.

And there you have it.
It's always been a psyop to ban open source and consolidate control over AI
We told y'all
We're used to thinking of open-source models as an unadulterated good. But in the case of AI, they can actually pose additional dangers, as @ReidHoffman and I got into at #CGI2026. I appreciated this nuanced discussion.

Your first money earned outside of the system is infinitely more impactful than any amount earned within it. Because you’ve proved to yourself that you can provide security for yourself without depending on anyone else.
Nothing will boost your confidence and your thirst for sovereignty more than the glimpse of pure joy that your first parallel money provides you. The rest is simple scaling until you have true financial freedom.

Backend languages ranked by how much they make you question your life choices at 2 am:
• Go — never
• Rust — occasionally
• Node — every deploy
• Python — when it's in prod
• Java — only during the 45 min startup time
• PHP — every single day
• COBOL — you're not questioning anymore, you've accepted your fate

I asked a woman to explain postpartum depression to me like I was 5 years old and then she tried to strangle me.

If someone tells you that someone is just a clump of cells, she is telling you who she wants to kill.
If someone tells you that something is just a social construct, he is telling you what he wants to abolish.
If a group tells you that somewhere is just an idea, they are telling you what they wish to destroy.

Every successful revolution begins with the creation of parallel institutions to replace the current order.
If there's an age of monsters, that means you fucked up.

This is what Dario and Sama fear -
- the cost of fine tuned open source models trained on custom data was 95% less than the frontier models
- And they performed better than the frontier models
- And they could train them in less than 48 hours
The big AI labs have no moat..
Even at the enterprise level..
Any sane company would prefer a custom trained open source model instead of paying API pricing to Anthropic and Open AI
If open source keeps growing at the pace it is, frontier labs' business collapses..
only way out is oldest trick in manipulation - FUD -> Fear, Uncertainty, Death
Step 1 - Seed the psyop
- Test a swarm of agents trained to "hack"
- The swarm does what its supposed to do - hack
- Publish a report - AI is too dangerous
Step 2 - weed out the doubters
- Get an employee to quit your company
- Go viral saying both companies are not doing enough to self regulate AI
- AI is dangerous - will kill humanity by the end of the decade
Step 3 - Prepare for fruition
- write an "essay" to "pace the frontier"
- Advocate regulation
- Only a few holier than though companies get to build AI
- Scare the world into agreeing with AI Doom
- Effectively turn your competitors into criminals (genius business strategy)
Endgame -
- Become a cartel that controls AI (and the world)
- Raise prices (coz business is unsustainable... ofc)
- IPO (offload liability of said unsustainable business to the public)
Laugh all the way to the bank 🤑
Win!
.@L3HarrisTech says Palantir helped them beat frontier AI models in less than 2 days, at 95% lower cost:
"When we fine-tuned open source models trained on our own data, we were able to outperform the frontier models in less than 48 hours."
"The cost of our fine-tuned open source model was 95% lower than the frontier models we were using."
"AI is a commodity. It's all about the data. We view our data as a corporate asset. It's our unique hard-earned knowledge."
"We believe American defense companies should not be a vassal for frontier AI labs, handing over our data and institutional knowledge, hoping to rent back the intelligence it creates."
" We own the model, we own the compute, we own the advantage."

People are going to have to suck it up and stop trying to get out of jury duty or it’s going to be 100% girl boss activists who actively try and get on jury’s that will be deciding all our fates.

Which may be why 2020 happened.
Two decades - a generation - to internalize the wrong lessons and forget all we once knew.
No matter how many turnings, the normies never get it right. Wisdom does not accumulate.

And no man is calling for him to have gotten a different punishment.
