This is the experience honest people are having. Not a ding on agentic AI (a.k.a. RPA+), but the tech bros hacking toy stuff and calling it a startup are overstating the capabilities by 1000x in many cases. Real agentic AI comes later, with true policy agents.

Single cell hunter. How many neurons would an AI engineer use in a MLP to run a robot doing this? How generalizable would that AI be to the real-world? This creature has no neurons. Just one cell. Now imagine every neuron in a brain is at least this sophisticated.

I’m not one to promote conflict escalation. It rarely works for either side. However, it is time for NATO to issue a public statement that the next time a Russian military aircraft enters NATO airspace unauthorized, it will be downed. Then, be like Turkey, and follow through.

It does feel like the Starship program has been stuck in first gear. Doing the impossible takes time. HLS should move forward with two landing systems (and mission profiles), both with aggressive cost and schedule overrun caps.

Uber's CEO says robotaxis could displace drivers in 10-15 years. Ahem...more like 3-4 years. It'll start next year and ramp steeply for a few years. businessinsider.com/uber-ceo-khosr…

If confirmed, might explain a lot. Consider the infinitesimal odds of your own existence in a cause-effect reality. Every implausible event in the history of the solar system must have occurred exactly as it did. You are either very important, or something else is going on.

Any qualia experience can be focusing. Consider: Blue does not exist in physics. 490nm light exits in physics, but there's nothing blue about it. Blue doesn't exist in the retina, the optic nerve, or [likely] the brain. Blue is pure qualia, existing only in consciousness.

I can't (yet) vouch for this, but expect to see a lot more frameworks and [hopefully soon] foundation models specifically targeting imitation learning. arxiv.org/abs/2509.17057 It's not all OSS, there's profit to be had: engineering.com/carbonsix-laun…

Voting $TSLA and not sure about Proposal Six, eliminating supermajority voting requirements? IF you oppose activist Tesla shareholders and want to slow them down, vote AGAINST.

This linear reasoning assumes today's leaders will be tomorrow's. Expect an entirely new ecosystem. Companies that don't rank today will be leaders in this new multi-trillion-dollar economy tomorrow. Some companies here won't make the transition at all (hi there UIPath).

Not the worst definition of AGI. However, it relies on human intelligence comparisons. My dog has general intelligence, not human level, but she is generally intelligent in ways no AI has yet to achieve. We still have more work to do defining AGI.

What do Accenture, Salesforce, Lufthansa, Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, Google have in common? All are cutting jobs and blaming AI. Suddenly AI is rationalization for years of bad strategy, overstaffing, overpay, bloat, and poor performance. Don't fall for the lie!

When the Department of War says it wants "more AI in everything", I'm wondering... Is the department ready for fully autonomous (not remote controlled) lethal combat platforms (a.k.a. droids)? The PRC is aggressively developing full autonomy for combat.
