I’m turning my OpenClaw into a Vannevar Bush Memex. It’s just going to remember everything I care about and read and it will become my second brain. Books, writings, research, all of it will be in my personal knowledge wiki and usable for helping me think.

Have you tuned out Elon Musk yet? The oligarch founder and richest man in the world has been on our screens daily for years. He is a rare kind of public figure: immensely powerful, accessible, and yet so grating that many choose to ignore him entirely, writes Matt Stieb. There’s

MIT Technology Review asked me to review Stewart Brand's new book _Maintenance: Of Everything_, vol. 1. I went into it with a lot of questions, including about how he'd deal with labor, politics, and social structure. But the book was a lot worse than I expected.

I wrote about the misguided appropriation of The Whole Earth Catalog by tech-adjacent wellness brands in 2023—not surprising to see the same move from AI companies now too. port-magazine.com/design/new-age…

The third best-selling computer platform in history, after Windows PCs and the Mac, began as a recruiting tool for Cambridge University's computer science department. It's the size of a credit card, has no case, and costs less than a pair of shoes. Eben Upton built Raspberry Pi

"Thiel’s business philosophy celebrates the founder as a kind of primal father, an antinomian figure who destroys old laws and creates new ones, who looks to the far-off technological future while seeking to resurrect the most arcane social hierarchies." e-flux.com/notes/6783484/…
