The map is the plan, the territory is the lived experience.
How to improve the human-agent traversal of the terrain as we co-create it?
Excellent budding ideas as always from @Mappletons
New talk! About the divided human & agent worlds, boundary objects, and building thicker interfaces
I've been exploring how to improve "planning", aka. deciding what agents should build, how you want it built, & making the whole team part of that process

"The companies that succeed will change how the work gets done, one workflow at a time, treating it as a compounding loop. They'll measure the results, put the people doing the work in charge of it and keep improving it every day"
You can't predict your next thought.
You can only observe it.
That's it.
That's the liberation of #meditation.
This lovely Ralph Waldo Emerson quote on friendship has sparked new and curious thoughts:
“A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature."
It is as though 'friendship' is some superfluity to core existence.
Life survives without it. But is greatly enriched by it.
“The issues the mathematical community now faces are similar to issues other scientific and creative professions - how to make sure that, as AI changes the way work is done, we do not lose sight of *what that work was meant to achieve in the first place*.” terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/…

No esperaba empezar el lunes con más de medio millón de views entre twitter y reddit y mucho menos con el 99.99% de comentarios positivos.
El vídeo de Denzel comenzó como una prueba técnica y luego vi que podía aprovechar para contar algo que siento, así que pasé de hacer un solo plano a construir la escena completa con coherencia.
No pensaba que fuese a tocar la fibra de tanta gente y muchísimo menos tenía esto planeado, la verdad. Simplemente me salió el diálogo del alma mientras jugaba con mis cacharritos.
I'm guessing we can't be far off shared e-bikes having robotic balance and becoming self-driving, autonomous vehicles that can self-relocate to the next most optimal location based on demand trends.

My (quality of) life would be significantly reduced if you took away even just a few of these items from my daily access.
Just some of the things Israel has banned or heavily restricted in Gaza since 2007:
Fresh and frozen meat

Chocolate
Margarine
Glucose
Salt
Fishing rods
Fabrics
Sewing machines
Food wrappers
Fertilisers and pesticides
Cement
Copper wiring and power cables
Power generators

Pencils
Outstanding interview.
Felt like a 17-min crash course in storytelling, film-making, Greek mythology, Christianity, modern culture, criticism.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Star Axis is complete. Fifty years in the making, land artist Charles Ross has finished his monumental observatory on a mesa in New Mexico. A staircase, aligned with Earth's axis, climbs to a open lens that tracks Polaris and the 26,000-year cycle of Earth's gravitational wobble.

I think this is so beautiful

🎬The classic short film One-Minute Time Machine (2013) remains the most brilliant, dark comedic take on time travel ever made. 😂🍿🍿🍿
In just five minutes, this short completely dismantles the standard sci-fi romance trope with a genuinely horrifying existential twist. What starts as a guy using a pocket-sized time machine to fix a bad conversation with a girl repeatedly takes a pitch-black turn when she reveals her doctorate in quantum mechanics. The realization that the machine doesn't actually rewind time—but instead kills the user and creates a clone in a parallel universe—is a masterclass in dark sci-fi writing. It’s tight, perfectly paced, and manages to deliver a better sci-fi concept in five minutes than most $100M Hollywood blockbusters achieve in two hours.
