The most expert software engineers in the world suddenly don’t know how to code because programming is now entirely constituted by metacognitive natural language and they’ve never studied Heidegger.

This is a time when philosophers can prove that philosophy still is and deserves to be the queen of the sciences and the king of the realm. In my opinion, AI as a topic is deeply philosophical from head to toe, and thinkers shouldn't shy away from the many questions it raises

the era of the polymath is back

Ritual is the technology by which the obscene is converted into the sacred

one understated benefit of a model adept at detecting bullshit is that it can detect it from other models, which is particularly useful for reviews

philosophy is a prerequisite for strong cognitive security you are being played with the language of knowledge

MCP sucking is a harness problem, not an MCP problem MCP unlocks behavior that is fundamentally impossible to get via CLI or APIs Bad auth, too much context usage, all get solved with an execution layer - your agent writes code to progressively discover and call tools

“IDEs” as a visual layer over agents is the future. code writing and reviewing is getting solved. where does this place engineers? they are shifting from code to a higher layer of abstraction. right now the standard surface of communication between user and agents is markdown.

i am team pro-mcp btw

social engineering attacks powered by agents feel like they will become a huge problem in the near future imagine an attacker crafting the most personalized profile of you and evaluating dozens of potential scenarios to capture your attention and make you go through a phishing
