“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?” Prof Richard Dawkins

No force has improved human quality of life more than technology. Technology is a tool that lifts human thinking to higher levels of consciousness. Emotions like jealousy once served a purpose in survival, protecting bonds and scarce resources. But in an age of abundance enabled by technology, they’ve become largely unproductive. Though still embedded in our biology, progress requires stepping back from these primitive survival mechanisms and thinking beyond them.

Computers are the present and the future: distorting time, space, and energy to create portals into new realities.

Most "killer apps" weren't invented first.They emerged once the foundation became cheap, reliable, and invisible. • Internet → Email, Web • GUI → Personal computing • Smartphones → Always-on apps • Cloud → Streaming & SaaS • GPS → Navigation & ride-hailing • Public-key crypto → Online payments • Open source → Global infrastructure • Deep learning → Generative Al • Blockchain → Peer-to-peer money Foundations decentralize power. Killer apps reveal it.

AI agents are becoming native to the Internet. They are becoming autonomous in their action on the web, building apps, websites and economic activity.

Linux proves that open-source, decentralized software foundations are a direct mechanism for distributing agency, control, and power.

Honestly I’m glad the ‘models are broken’ thesis is playing out. It solidifies the essence & validity of it’s vitality & growth. Its stubborn refusal to conform highlights its decentralized, antifragile nature.

“AI will have a major impact on democracy because democracy is an information system and AI is a transformational information-processing technology.” Quote taken from ‘Rewiring Democracy’ by Bruce Schneier and Nathan E. Sanders

When using AI to make decisions about complex, human situations… if your intuition pushes you in the opposite direction of the model’s output, ALWAYS TRUST YOUR INTUITION! You may be wrong. That’s fine. Learn from the mistake with the help of AI. Use AI to sharpen human intuition, not replace it.

Al models can read tens of thousands of books in a single hour. They can retain and synthesize what they've read, detecting patterns far beyond human cognitive limits. From those patterns, they can extract structure and meaning that may exceed human comprehension. As a result, Al is likely the most powerful tool we have for making predictions in complex systems shaped by countless interacting variables.

The problem with regulating a powerful tool is that regulation slows development and adoption, without guaranteeing restraint elsewhere. One actor may pause, but others will continue building and experimenting. Those who hesitate risk falling behind and vulnerability is the price of delay.

To my fellow internet explorer An ode to deliberate reflection amid our whirlwind digital era. Among the internet’s most brilliant inventions stands the humble ‘bookmark’ 🫶. Marking the dawn when web protocols first embraced the concept of foresight and deferred discovery.

Who is winning the AI race? “Winning” is a vague concept in this space. AI development spans multiple layers of hardware, infrastructure, models and products. Each with distinct bottlenecks and trade-offs. While the AI community has strong affinity for open-source models, the group that directly benefits from that openness is relatively small. The far larger user base is focused on using AI to solve real-world, non-coding problems where reliability, integration and outcomes matter more than model transparency.

Journal Entry 2026/02/01 I was sick this week and avoided posting on social media. I vanished, and no one followed up. Do I exist? One can only acknowledge one’s own substance to a point. Beyond that, its limitations become deafening especially when silence grows louder and louder.

If you watch any Godzilla film, watch this one👌.
