I’m in Utah with some of the most optimistic people I’ve ever encountered. And it feels so good to be amongst others who believe our problems are tractable, it is our responsibility to solve them, and that we all win when we pursue a positive sum approach together. The Abundance Institute hosted the Operation GigaWatt […]

Day 1953 and Helter Skelter
It’s been a very strange week if you work in or around the artificial intelligence segment of the technology industry. lot of rumors have been swirling about executive orders and the upcoming China summit though fears are now being assuaged. While I’m not primarily an investor in the LLM boom, I have invested in compute […]
It’s been such a crazy week. I don’t “feel the AGI” only because I am mired in the give and take of living in America where we still have businesses to run and a lot of regular people committed to actual civics. Progress is fast but implementation is slow. And then above our daily lives, […]

Day 1917 and Bragging
My brain feels pretty scrambled at the moment. I wish I could say it was over easy but I’m clearly closer to fried than coddled at the moment. Yesterday had some big news. Valar is prepared for a long slog and that means on paper I’ve got a unicorn and a fund returner. It’s good […]
The “right to compute” is an extension of core American constitutional values—free expression, property, and liberty—and compute is foundational infrastructure for a materially better, more abundant future if we can look beyond culture war distortions

The crazier the informational world gets, the more inclined I am to tune it all out. The flows of information are fun sure but it’s only useful to financiers, degenerates and the global management class. I really only rate into very bottom of one. No, not the degenerate class. As 2026 has become the year […]
Yesterday I wrote about the experience of my daily writing experiment rounding out its fifth year. It’s been a fun and often emotional journey that I find hard to fully capture. But I’ll attempt to list a few of my favorite posts of 2025 on the last day of year. Healthcare and Biohacking Day 1490 […]
It’s been a pretty fantastic few weeks for my investments. Decisions made years ago are now looking pretty smart. A bet I made two years ago announced a round and then proceeded to announce splitting the atom the next week. Not to only focus on current belle of the ball in Valar especially as everyone […]
I have spent a lot of time in various states of concern, sadness and frustration this year. Which is too bad, as so many incredible things have happened to me. We passed a right to compute law. Valar Atomics took “accelerate” way more seriously than most. It’s hard to balance knowing the future won’t be […]
