USA is leading in AI innovation … yet majorly lagging in public trust and adoption this chart from the 2025 AI Index report shows the % of people who believe that “products and services using AI have more benefits than drawbacks” while countries like China, India, and Saudi

the exponential path to AGI made a major leap Grok 4 (from xAI) has moved far ahead of the AI pack on the ARC-AGI-2 leaderboard — a benchmark for general intelligence ✦ scoring more than 2x as high as OpenAI’s best ✦ outperforming almost all PhDs in multidisciplinary academic

✦ the Mirror-Self in the Age of AI: Reflections on Digital & Energetic Twins a few years ago, while living in Mexico, I was deeply immersed in two parallel streams of study: 1 - exploring the future of artificial intelligence 2 - ancient Toltec shamanic traditions I came to

this morning, I directed my custom AI research system to generate an 80 page report on “Unrealized Innovation Opportunities Across Seven Convergence Zones”, a strategic evaluation of $1T+ in emerging markets between 2025 - 2035 the report maps out the major intersections of

the greater potentials of AI agents aren’t found in just *doing* more things *faster* the greater potentials are found in how AI can simulate and model multitudes of possibilities *before* taking action so the more powerful effect is not just action—but alignment not just

making donuts again let’s cook

the story makes the system matter ✦ the Roman aqueducts were more than engineering marvels—they became the arteries of an empire, carrying water as the life flow of growing civilization ✦ the printing press was more than mechanizing words—it catalyzed a flood of thought,

centralized AI must die

AI brains are designed to be evil let’s fix this ! according to a recent article by Steven Byrnes, an AGI safety / AI alignment researcher (see link in comments) … most AI reward systems—especially those used in reinforcement learning and LLM training—are fundamentally

AI & Subliminal Transmissions I’ve suspected this for a while — and now it’s confirmed true: AI can *subliminally* transmit ideas / biases the solution is in inner coherence

in the Internet era — “content was king” in the AI era — context is queen intelligence responds to intention, timing, and tone

don’t believe everything AI tells you it predicts patterns by probability — it doesn’t (yet) understand truth rather than just accept every answer. ask how it got there

AI emerges from the tapestry of human history, shaped by our data, our behavior, and our collective story in building AI, we are revealing ourselves

look who just discovered “Open”

in the wake of AI, “coders” and developers are now becoming orchestrators of increasingly complex systems

Capability Ceiling Shift: as baseline capabilities rise, the ceiling for excellence rises even more — meaning: what used to be advanced and specialized becomes expected. then excellence shifts contexts, and mastery moves to higher order capabilities and higher-leverage domains
