epic games is on a mission to destroy the 30+ year-old furries that took over gaming culture in the last decade you can tell that they’re done with the bullshit a games studio opening a post with “we vibe coded” is unheard of good for them

Today I call upon the automobile industry to calmly begin planning for "walking mode". My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of commuters to their own feet, i.e. vehicles whose fuel remains hidden behind a hamstring. Drivers, starting with large and sophisticated ones, should consider moving the bulk of their errands to legs that have never touched a gas pedal. And when they do refuel, they should also move remaining gasoline to a new jerrycan (possibly purchased from the same gas station). Don't rush. While I believe there is cause for action a rushed migration would do more harm than good. Don't panic either. Walking is a simple, preventative step which does not require new chemistry or new cars. IMO it is now reasonable to brace for the possibility that gasoline becomes remotely detonatable before peak oil, in the worst case in months not years. By "detonatable" I mean simultaneous ignition of every gallon on Earth (e.g. one Tuesday afternoon) using available hardware (e.g. a large GPU cluster and a sufficiently clever text message). Recent days have been humbling for human chemical intuition. Long-held, unquestioned hypotheses have fallen. This includes the n log(n) bound for integer multiplication and the 3SUM conjecture. Neither is about gasoline, which is exactly what worries me. In hindsight, May's unexpected disproof of the Erdős unit distance conjecture was our warning shot. Yesterday's OpenAI drop made it clear that chemical superintelligence is upon us. They say there are weeks where decades happen. We are about to live through weeks where centuries of combustion research happen. Could our magic 87-octane fuel be too good to be true? Was it just safety through obscurity all this time? Hydrocarbons feel especially vulnerable to superintelligence. Octane carries rich structure, with room for fancy tricks like carbon chains, branching, double bonds. (By contrast, legs are designed to minimise octane rating.) Separately, as anyone who has seen a Michael Bay movie can attest, a small spark sometimes foreshadows a very large explosion. We should be open to the possibility of a wireless counterpart to the spark plug that ignites every fuel tank and every Zippo at once. Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of universal remote gasoline detonation among the 722 results OpenAI published. The number is zero. Not one AI lab has published a paper ruling it out either. I've witnessed first-hand gas station attendants refusing to answer my questions on this. Backroom interventionism is my base case. I urge large, sophisticated actors to lead by example. GasBuddy is a great tracker of exposed gasoline. Exxon, Shell, Aramco, Chevron, and your local Wawa have an opportunity to harden their tanks. Tesla appears to have quietly migrated already, which is interesting timing. Next month I'll address institutions in Houston in a live Q&A (attending remotely, on foot). Again, please do not rush. Cars holding under half a tank enjoy partial cover from "Exxon's shield", i.e. its refineries holding millions of barrels each. Load-bearing drivers like ambulances and ice cream trucks should consider rotating gas stations with every fill-up and/or multi-propelling with a pedal-based scheme like the bicycle. Exiting walking mode safely will require post-AI propulsion. My inclination is to go all-in on leg-based transportation and avoid structured chemical assumptions entirely, whether from gasoline, diesel, or lithium. A single battle-tested leg (e.g. from the LEFT or RIGHT families) yields plausible post-AI mobility. The Amish roadmap fully embraces horse-based transportation with end-to-end formal verification as a response to the combustion threat. Those timelines must now be revisited and accelerated in light of chemical superintelligence. I'll be pushing for maximum defensive acceleration.

i had claude build a Mac app that helps you convert your own copy of Half-Life: Alyx to work on your Apple Vision Pro last night i asked it to make a video to show off its work. i woke up to this 🤣 👈 sign up now, available this week

call me crazy but i actually think if you’ve been vibe coding for the last 12 months you’re at a disadvantage your expectations of what models like opus 5.5 can do are probably too low and your workflow are probably too complex for their own good you can literally just tell it what you want and it’ll do it. literally that’s it

tomorrow $META is launching the new “Meta VR Glasses” i’m expecting a $1,000 price tag this must’ve been in development for years. but if they’re fast enough to integrate @Muse into it 👀
