I really don't like that everybody has jumped onto the harness definition. I don't like putting a harness on something. It's like harnessing an animal and that's not what we're doing. We're growing an intelligence(s).

The AI regulation thing should somehow be attributed to the 2nd amendment. And bridge both sides to the right to near arms. Arms being intelligence. #ai #mythos #fable #gpt56

I’ve just been sitting here in silence β€” no music β€” in the garage, on my phone… πŸ“± 🚬🍡 Walking one thread through philosophy β†’ politics β†’ AI β†’ life β†’ societal systems, forcing it to link the concepts instead of hand-waving. Anyway ... hope everyone’s having a good Friday. #elitebench

Here's my idea of a social timeline/feed algorithm. Sort all posts chronologically by datetime posted. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Normal: I mapped it out. ADHD: I winged it. Me: I mapped it out, winged it, and now I’m remapping what I winged, using some hallucinating bots to tell me things I may or may not have missed.

πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ‘πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€” Bring the dislike button back so the general public can call out ignorance. We don't have that metric anymore and it enables morons. I swear the world changed after YouTube started that and it permeated through to social media.

I've been feeling a major aversion to sitting down in front of a computer. I'll doomscroll forever on my phone or even remote things with termius etc, and now with Claude/codex/etc tools. You can do just about everything with a terminal.

People should exodus move to places where their votes matter most and the people they should help. And then push grassroots up. #nokings

To reiterate: there is no legitimate justification for this. Violent crime is at a 30-year low in D.C.

"So we're getting this information from multiple sources [...] within the mayor's office and within Metro Police Department, that President Trump, come tomorrow, will deploy the National Guard along the streets of DC." www.wusa9.com/video/news/n...

It’s so cool this administration is going to sell the most pristine parts of the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, Cascades, and Sawtooths to private owners so they can log, hunt, mine, and build survivalist compounds on our shared national heritage.

This is a marketing campaign for the Army to the devolved younger generation for the wars that Trump is going to be the cause of... (This stupid parade) #NoKings

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

"There is no active threat in our community. What I do know is that this horrific incident is going to frighten a lot of people in our city and in our country." Scary scary words Major

Does anyone else stop listening to music for a while for no true reason and realize you need it in your life to accomplish tasks, and then you finally listen again and feel stupid when it actually helps? Just me?

Journalists talking to trump need to just keep sticking it to him. Talk over him. Make him angry. Anger = Quick action = fuck up their posture = truth

I feel like when YouTube and all other media got rid of the dislikes, that fucked up the principals of democracy the most. People need to see the negative feedback of ideas to evolve as a society.

Do Trump and Elon et al. Respond and just double down? Do trlhy ignore?? Or do they actually play ball or show any humility? Asking for a nation.

Does anyone, literally anyone think cutting 10000 Jobs from the dept of health and human services is a good idea?? Michael Levin is only one man. But we need more people in this tech.

AI is starting to feel like it can give the ability to do ANYTHING, unfortunately we don't have the ability to do EVERYTHING. But having to keep reminding yourself to use your ability to do something. And hopefully it's something of value and substance. #randomthoughts #captainslog #ai #society
