Isaac Newton who was fascinated with optics, alchemy and shiny objects constructed his beautiful theorems on gravity while believing from his faith that the ‘universe’ was created 6000 years before his time. Thoughts from discussion on The Lex Fridman podcast with Prof Jed Buchwald

Passage taken from ‘Life As No One Knows It’ by Prof Sara Imari Walker Those in the engineering business of humanoid robots claim there will be an exponential amount more robots than humans on earth in the future.

AI is empowering creators, innovators and scientists like never before — and empowering those who steal, lie and cheat just as fast. The duality is real. Even in the anarchy and chaos, there’s a strange kind of beauty and vitality. AI is a forge for both creators and corruptors — brilliance and deception rising in parallel. In the anarchy, there’s a vitality that reminds us evolution is never neat. ☯️ ⚖️ 🌓 🔀

No one is talking about it but could AI generated content slow down Bitcoin adoption?

Being a physicist would be a superpower as a time traveler.

It’s all going to zero eventually.

What if the United States activated free global Starlink access — basic internet for everyone? Just switch on your WiFi and you’re connected, anywhere on Earth. If brilliant minds can engineer rockets that land themselves, why not engineer free internet? One can dream🫶

There’s something truly empowering about having instant online access to newly published computer science papers. While studying them, you feel like you’re standing right on the edge of the innovation frontier. 💻✍️📖

“The CTM (Continuous Thought Machines) uses neural timings and synchronizations as core computational principles.”

The most insidious way for evil to enter & affect your space of existence is through the emerging activity of politics. What a waste of human resources & paper.

Letter from UCT School of IT. I need to make UCT my 2nd home to improve my chances of getting into its Honors program.

Synchronicity 2025/11/27 Listened to an interview with the writers of the paper “Continuous Thinking Machines”. Posted the paper & afterwards posted about ‘Ikigai’. Continued listening to the interview & it ended off with them saying, they’re based in Japan and are hiring.

Journal Entry 2025/11/27 When you find your purpose, everything else becomes a distraction. Anything that pulls your focus away starts to feel like a burden.

Life is hard, but the powers that be grant you free will — and you must choose your hard. That is the curse of being human.

Many experts are touting this academic AI paper as potentially the most disruptive since 2017’s ‘Attention is all you need’.

Initially AI Chess models performed better with human intervention but as the AI Chess models improved, human intervention decreased its performance. Page taken from “AI Engineering” by Chip Huyen

Journal Entry 2025/11/26 The harsh Truth is I avoid people. I think, care and love from a distance. The positive and negative emotions from social dynamics is becoming more & more overwhelming for me, to the extent I feel like ending it all 😔…not that I would ever do it.
