the gift of alcohol and other drug experiences is to reveal to you that your sober state is no less strange nor surreal than your intoxicated one. in either case you are a phantom floating through physical sensation, and while you may be more cogent, you’re equally dislocated

openai dot and a 24/7 mac mini have made my life 15% better. couldn’t recommend more. will write a blog post on my setup
anthropic is massively underplaying the recent security breach. i'm hearing cathedral achieved full administrator access of the slack workspace (see every message, log in as arbitrary users) where literally every single research secret is contained
to those unfamiliar: Ant & OAI keep literally everything in Slack. it sounds exactly the same incident that happened to OpenAI in 2023, where OpenAI was hacked by a random guy who got access to an access token from an external app service
"we're critical to national security, we must beat China, and yes we keep all our crown jewels in Salesforce's Slack messenger. yes we have admin API tokens everywhere. why do you ask?"

fact check: even truer
rumor is Cathedral got a lot of Slack, maybe all of research. what the fuck are we doing guys
soon all progress will be data bottlenecked, not intelligence bottlenecked. bio? data bottlenecked. astronomy? data bottlenecked. data all the way down

have you been cited by agi? check the leaderboard of citations from openai's /math release
i asked GPT 6 Pro and Fable 5.1 to rank all discoveries in the last three years

Some data we recently assembled on entrepreneurship/compute in Europe:
We hope that one of the useful roles that Stripe can play is in collecting and publishing empirical data pertaining to entrepreneurship and industry in Europe. There's growing appetite to get Europe on a better footing, and cross-sectional comparisons can often shine light on where opportunities lie. If you're interested in this kind of thing, we publish more at

wow big move. troy and eric are truly world-class
It's a little hard to internalize that the list of things one person can achieve is rapidly growing. You must think big to match what you're truly capable of now
i don't think people get that ASI is going to be really really funny
i don't think nearly anyone, myself included, has truly internalized there'll soon be a machine better than us in every single intellectual & physical capacity
deep down we all share a feeling that our 'entrepreneurship' or 'taste' or... is special & safe. it isn't. it's over

holy crap i just got microschmidhubered
@willdepue That's exactly what I have told everybody since the 1970s
all human work in the future is artisanal!!! there is nothing that will survive automation by the machines other than things that derive inherent value from being produced by a human
