A bad workman blames his tools Idiom As we rapidly accelerate the power of our computing tools, machine learning has blossomed into the most heated topic in government policy, business strategy, and popular culture, as artificial intelligence begins to affect everyday life. The focus on harms, and in particular singularity doomerism, has (ironically) pulled focus […]

Day 1243 and Majesty
I love flying over mountain ranges. One of the highlights of living in the western Rocky Mountain Range is flying over peaks you’d never see any other way but by air. Air travel remains the most magic aspect of modern living. I’m transitioning through Munich on my way to Houston and eventually Austin for Consensus […]

Day 1240 and Speedrun
I have this habit when I’m abroad of packing in an impossible number of things during my last few days on a given trip. I don’t go in much for shorter style week long travel, rather I tend to stay places for a month or more. I’ve done this in Germany, the Baltics and the […]

Day 1171 and Choosing Life
“Since you’ve chosen death I must choose another path” It was a shitpost. I posted an acceleration meme. I happily endorse the bumpy progress of material change and the myriad human lives that choose to grow. The responses to my shitpost show that it’s no longer a joke. I live in very clear reveled preferences […]
The specifics of it aren’t important, the fact of the matter is that it’s been “one thing after another” for me. I bet you know the feeling.

I’m pretty far off the grid right now. I’m taking this week to get some time offline to do focused work A common theme I’ve written about is the toll of stress hormones and nervous system fatigue that we are all experiencing as life accelerates. I find I can better focus in my very online […]
We are living in an era of competing totalizing narratives. We assign Jungian archetypes and monomyths to complicated people and complex situations with many variables. We ship relationships and stan fandoms even as the meme message is that we should be shipping code and forming bonds with other people with agency. Remember that hyperstition is […]

Day 1063 and Overclocked
Since acceleration is within my meme space so heavily I am pushing myself to go faster. Predictably that introduces some instability in my Julie equilibrium. That’s a fancy way of saying I currently feel like shit. I’ve been a bit immobile for the last couple hours from hitting some type pain wall from overclocking myself. […]

Day 980 and I Am Beff Jezos
Humans are horny for hierarchy. We are eager to give our power away as a species. Please will someone else just be responsible for making our decisions for us? Can someone point me to the person in charge? “Take me to your leader!” If someone seems smarter, richer, more capable, more aggressive, heck even if […]
If you are working in artificial intelligence or medicine I’d like to pleased my case to you. Id just like to pass along a note. The current “responsible” safety stance is that we should not have AI agents dispense healthcare advice as if they had the knowledge of a doctor. I think this is safetyism […]
