We’re experiencing a Maple outage. Stand by.

Shirt for trick or treating: Left or Right?

In case you’re wondering, “Responsible AI” usually means censorship. Tune in next week for your next lesson.

It was a blast coming on the show with @preston to talk all things AI! We discussed privacy and the bright future we can have if we're willing to build and use AI that is open and verifiable. Closed AI apps are powerful but come with the big tradeoff that we must give them our most unique data: our minds. There is a better way forward. Let's make it!

We can think for ourselves, but for how much longer? If we continue channeling our cognitive echoes through proprietary AI systems, we risk handing over the very thing that makes us unique – our mind. I've launched AI with Confidence and published "The Free Thought Manifesto." It explores the threat of subconscious censorship in AI and the case for verifiable systems.

Reasons for the US To Print Massive Amounts of Money 1. we can't make our own military equipment anymore. Need to get mineral production and factory production going 2. we can't afford our debt interest and entitlement programs 3. AI is a global arms race. We need to develop models, computing, and the full stack 4. housing is where boomers stored their wealth. If prices fall too much, they take the economy with them 5. more

Qwen3 Coder is a huge upgrade over previous models that were available in @Maple AI. It's faster and produces better code. Really enjoying it!

find yourself a mosh pit from time to time

Next couple of months are going to be very exciting for @Maple AI. So stoked!

I’m at a vintage bookstore. Shill me the best book to get for a collection?

how about block means block

tfw you send your writing out for feedback

I am working on a long-form article in the AI space. Funny enough, AI has been incredibly useful with the process. I started with my own words from hours of voice memos where I explained the concept and direction I wanted to go. AI took my words and wrote a rough draft. I edited the draft heavily, changing phrasing, rewriting multiple paragraphs at a time, and more. Now I'm using AI to incorporate feedback from select people as well as performing final edits. I often debate with it about two options for incorporating a specific item of feedback, just like I would with an editor. The result is a long piece of writing from me, but it's difficult to know which words were me and which were the AI. In my experience, it's similar to how I've worked with a human editor in the past, except the feedback loop compressed from weeks to days. In the end, I'm the one pouring over the words and putting my name on it, so it's going to be my published work. And it is far from a one-shot prompted paper. These tools are remarkable.
