History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

yikes. ozempic was too good to be true.

🚨BREAKING: A cognitive scientist from MIT has mathematically proven that evolution guarantees we see zero percent of true reality, that most consciousness in the universe exists without a body, and that non-human intelligences with a wider window on reality than ours can reach in and manipulate it the way a programmer manipulates a video game. Donald Hoffman (@donalddhoffman) is a cognitive scientist at UC Irvine who has spent 40 years building a mathematical theory of the observer. His work was cited by John Wheeler in the "It From Bit" paper. He studied under Marvin Minsky at MIT, spent two decades secretly meeting with Francis Crick to study consciousness, and has nine specific mathematical conjectures on the table that would derive general relativity, quantum field theory and the Big Bang from a single framework. The top high-energy physicists in the world, Nima Arkani-Hamed and Nobel laureate David Gross, are already saying spacetime is doomed. Hoffman thinks he knows what replaces it. This interview is the first time he has publicly laid out what his mathematical model explains about alien life, embodiment and the structure of reality. It already derives time dilation and quantum wave functions directly from differences in observer window size. Physics has spent a century failing to solve the measurement problem because it has been looking in the wrong place. The observer has to come first, and no physicalist framework can get you there. A consciousness with a larger observer window has access to the underlying structure of our reality in ways we can't perceive or counter. A craft going Mach 40 instantaneously in our headset could be a leisurely maneuver in theirs. The implications for UAP and alien life are immense. Embodiment, being locked into a body with fingers and toes as your only interface with the world, is a probability zero anomaly in the full space of possible minds. He also says current large language models are dumber than cucumbers. His new framework, the recursive trace logic, is a completely different architecture, and some of the biggest names in frontier AI have already come to him about it. The framework has no ceiling, and the implication is a single unified consciousness exploring itself through an unbounded number of perspectives, each one capable of waking up. Death, in this framework, is just the closing of an icon on the desktop. Full conversation is live now.

Seneca was right when he said to be happy you must eliminate 2 things: the fear of a bad future and the memory of a bad past.

Tom Brady reveals the overlooked reason practice squad players never succeed in the NFL It’s not a lack of talent. Brady watched it happen for 20 years. The pattern was undeniable. As soon as a practice squad player got promoted and had to perform under real pressure, they crumbled. It took years for Brady to understand why. “There’s 53 guys on the active roster and there’s now 15 guys on the practice squad. So there’s 68 players. But those practice squad players are important because if anybody on the active roster gets hurt, they can get elevated to the squad.” “These scout team receivers would come in and practice with the scout team and they do really well. And I’d be watching. I’m like, ‘Man, we got to get that guy. Let’s get him up on offense. He’s making a lot of plays.’” “Then all of a sudden, we’re like, ‘Hey man, you’re doing really well. You got to come over here and deal with the pressure of succeeding now that you have expectation.’” “And these guys are like, they weren’t prepared for it. So whatever we saw in practice against where there was not a lot of pressure, now when they’re put in a situation where there’s an expectation for performance, they’ve never had to personally deal with that and then they fail.” “And then what I realized was a lot of guys on those practice squads, they don’t want to be elevated to the roster.” “They’re very happy living this life where they could tell their family and friends, which I have no problem with that. But the reality is a lot of guys don’t want the pressure of dealing with top.” Twenty years in the league and seven Super Bowl rings later, Brady learned that talent wasn’t the hardest thing to find. It was people who actually wanted the pressure that comes with being great.

A man who reads old books cannot be fully captured by modern stupidity. He has dead kings, prophets, poets, killers, saints, drunks, generals, and madmen whispering in his bloodstream. The feed has no chance against this.

mind your own fucking business

O cofundador do Claude sentou hoje entre cardeais no Vaticano e disse ao Papa: minha indústria opera com incentivos que conflitam com fazer a coisa certa. O Papa olhou para ele e respondeu: "Em nome da Igreja, aceito seu convite para caminharmos juntos." Aconteceu há horas. Leão XIV apresentou a "Magnifica Humanitas": a primeira encíclica papal da história dedicada a uma tecnologia específica. O Papa quebrou séculos de tradição para apresentar o documento pessoalmente. Nenhum papa tinha feito isso antes. E escolheu como convidado o cofundador do lab de IA notavelmente ausente dos contratos militares do Pentágono. A Anthropic se recusou a liberar seus modelos para armas autônomas e vigilância doméstica. O que Olah disse diante de cardeais, teólogos e do líder de 1,4 bilhão de católicos: "Todo lab de IA opera dentro de incentivos que podem entrar em conflito com fazer a coisa certa." Pressão comercial, competitiva e geopolítica. E "as pressões mais antigas e mais simples: orgulho e ambição." A conclusão dele: "As questões levantadas pela IA são maiores que a comunidade de pesquisa em IA." Precisamos de críticos externos sérios e honestos. Agora o documento. A abertura coloca a humanidade diante de duas escolhas: construir uma nova Torre de Babel ou reconstruir Jerusalém. A frase que define a encíclica: "A inteligência artificial precisa ser desarmada." Leão XIV sabe que a palavra é forte. Escolheu de propósito. Parágrafo 110: → "Desarmar a IA significa libertá-la da mentalidade de competição armada, não apenas militar, mas econômica e cognitiva" → "Uma corrida por algoritmos cada vez mais poderosos, movida pelo desejo de dominância geopolítica ou comercial" → "Desarmar não significa rejeitar a tecnologia, mas impedir que ela domine a humanidade" E depois: "Simplesmente regulá-la é insuficiente." O Papa não está pedindo regulação. Está dizendo que regulação não basta. → "A IA amplifica o poder de quem já possui recursos econômicos, expertise e acesso a dados" → O risco não é alguém acreditar que conversa com uma pessoa ao usar IA. É perder o desejo de buscar outras pessoas. → "Toda escolha de design reflete uma visão de humanidade" (parágrafo 111) A simbologia foi calculada em cada detalhe: → Documento assinado em 15 de maio, aniversário exato da Rerum Novarum (1891), a resposta de Leão XIII à Revolução Industrial → O Papa disse explicitamente: "Como o Leão anterior, sinto-me encarregado de olhar para outra enorme transformação com olhos de fé" → A Igreja faz isso a cada grande ruptura: Rerum Novarum (1891), Pacem in Terris (1963, era nuclear), Laudato Si' (2015, clima), agora Magnifica Humanitas Fazer da IA a primeira encíclica do pontificado é dizer que nenhum outro assunto é mais urgente. Agora conecta os pontos. O primeiro Papa americano da história está em conflito aberto com a Casa Branca. Ele traz ao palco do Vaticano o cofundador do único lab de IA que enfrentou o governo Trump em defesa de limites éticos. E juntos publicam um documento de 42.300 palavras dizendo que a tecnologia mais poderosa já criada pela humanidade não pode ficar nas mãos de quem lucra com ela. Teologia e geopolítica na mesma mesa. Literalmente. Quem constrói a IA não pode ser quem define as regras da IA. O Papa e o cara que constrói a IA concordaram nisso hoje. No Vaticano. Diante do mundo.

If you died tomorrow your family could not access a single thing you own digitally. Bank accounts. Crypto. Passwords. Cloud storage. All of it locked permanently. Here is how to fix that in 30 minutes:

2001: A Space Odyssey arguably has the greatest cut in cinematic history and it's broken up by an ad You don't hate streaming services enough

Yesterday, I locked myself in my office for 7 hours, inhaling 50 articles about AI. I did this to unlock more bandwidth for my team. But these 7 were too good not to share:

Hal Cranmer says assisted living is where the elderly are sent to wait till they pass away. Cranmer owns four assisted living homes in Arizona. When he first got into the business, he noticed something that bothered him. None of the residents were getting better either. They were treated like cardboard boxes at a storage unit - stacked out of the way, forgotten and slowly falling apart inside. He asked everyone in the industry why no one was trying to improve their health. The answer he kept getting was, "Well, they're old, so they don't get better." Cranmer thought that was nonsense. The standard assisted living model includes diaper changes, bingo, showers, three meals a day, and medications managed by outside doctors. Health improvement is not part of the protocol. Cranmer rejected the model and started cutting sugar, adding trainers, and putting his residents on low-carb diets. Nine of them have now moved back home in his decade running it. The industry built itself on managed decline because nobody told the elderly that recovery was still possible. — Hal Cranmer (@HalCranmer)
