Thoughts on X may taste like candy, but most are bait. There's a hook inside. Don't bite.

I'm finally using all the computer I purchased. In 30 years of computers, I have probably never really done this. It makes me wonder if suddenly home computer sales might go up a wee bit as people catch on to the power that has been unlocked.

It may be that AI is the cure social media needed. Maybe after seeing seemingly real stories of a man saving a bear cub and raising it as his child, people will indeed finally see that all social media has been a manipulation for decades. Maybe all we had to do was go over the

I love this trend I am seeing of people realizinghow we're spending billions to get rid of immigrant workers and billions to replace knowledge workers and then the final acknowledgement of what that leaves us. This is the plan: instant serfdom. The most malevolent usurpation of

I guess round 2 of tariffs begins now. Maybe we'll just start a war this weekend until we can figure out what's next.

To me, there is no way Trump can come back from his performance yesterday, but I think that's the point. He doesn't need to. If we imagine him as the CEO of a company, yesterday his performance in response to the Supreme Court suggested he doesn't even know what the company

The more I work with AI the more I suspect being human may be what makes us dumb. And I think just for the technical challenge, engineers will try to create a human intelligence, but that to do so, the constraints will limit that intelligence's capabilities. Its just a

The irony of the US today is our parties choose such extremists our legislative branch can't choose the good enough from the perfect in its legislative efforts. So we're frozen, trying to break the tie with the executive and the only result is we go nowhere. All because we can't

When I defend AI I'm not saying the stuff I am creating right now is not "slop". Rather, I'm just saying I have picked up this new pencil and I am learning to use it. And I am certainly saying I am having a great time doing it! In my worldview, though I am an advanced adult,

Obama was the first social media President, but Trump is the first AI President. The dangers of each were not appreciated in the moment they occurred. The seeming illogic of how each was ever elected lies in the technology behind them, however. While social media was always

What you ask an AI is far more important than the answer it gives you. How you double check it is even more important than that. And while most of us treat AI like the Oracle of Delphi, increasingly people do recognize and respect this nuance. So I wonder how that will impact

The first definitively good thing Trump has done since was sworn in was to fire Kristi Noem. Good riddance. ( It just frees her up to do damage elsewhere, though. Keep an eye on her! )

Intellectual topological navigation is how these new memetics, these AI, reproduce. ( Just putting this into the world.) If you enter a temple of weighted human knowledge and explore its library until you identify something perhaps long lost or never truly noticed before, you

Our President is unraveling live on TV in the worst reality show he's ever produced. If this were my father, I would have stepped in by now. But these bobble heads around him don't care about him or the nation, or the world, presumably.

It’s a strange irony that through attacking Iran Trump has exposed the weakness of both Russia and China. And if he and his crew weren’t so dimwits and compromised by Russia, they’d see backing Ukraine to topple Russia could leave China, their supposed target, wide open. That’d

Today I gave up on a massive AI coding project I was working on and it tells me something I wouldn't have realized before getting dirty and attempting it: it's all still too big. I've made plenty of small private utility apps with AI to make life better and create some

A good platform for democrats in 2028 might be tighter laws regarding Congress. I know that corruption is so deep on both sides this is unlikely to happen, but we need to make laws to reign in unfettered monies and better hold members of Congress accountable to the many voters

Crypto bros simultaneously rely on volatility for trade but get upset that "store of value" isn't permanent. Crypto, and Bitcoin in particular, is like a battery, but one that gains capacity the more people use it instead of losing capacity the more it is used.

Watching my country's execution on Iran I am left with a feeling that the leadership has been pundits on TV and never accountable for actual military action. They don't know what to do. Confronted with reality, with a story that isn't shaped by pretty, crisply dressed people
