I've been sitting outside the door of an AirBnB for the past 2 hours. The host provided the wrong code for the door and has been unreachable.

@Airbnb support has been unhelpful with the issue. While they refunded the cost of the AirBnB and (belatedly) gave me a 20% coupon, I'm stuck finding my own new room sitting here in the dark, where all the last-minute hotel bookings are incredibly expensive.

Currently I have two AirBnB requests that I did on my own waiting for acceptance. So, still no clue where I'm sleeping tonight because the hosts have 24 hours to respond.
THIS is what the AirBnB rebooking assistance gets you—shit.

Just read the Amazon cancelled Wheel of Time. After seeing the new Veo 3 videos, I suspect in a few years, we'll have fan fiction seasons that keep series that are cancelled going, even when the major studios don't want to invest in them.

For those interested in the work I did during my fellowship at Pivotal Research, below is a recording of the lighting talk I presented at ControlConf.
ControlConf was the first AI control conference put on by @redwood_ai and @farairesearch in March '25.

The cognitive dissonance in this week's @farnamstreet newsletter is strong.
If attention is the most valuable thing you spend, then those who receive the most attention gain the most value.
If you believe the second aphorism, then flashy gets the most value, not boring.

Of course, this is the problem with aphorisms. They sound like great wisdom, but are often just flashy words that sound good—and often contradict each other.
While they sometimes contain kernels of truth, it's best to treat these as perspectives, not principles.
