🔥🚨BREAKING: Nectome The Portland Oregon tech company that Sam Altman is on the waitlist for since 2016 to kill him so they can upload his Brian to the internet which would allow him to live forever just confirmed that they have successful reanimated a dead pig’s brain meaning they are about to be ready to take human brains like Sam Altman’s and upload their consciousness online.
An entire mammalian brain has been successfully preserved using a technique that will now be offered to people who are terminally ill.
The intention is to preserve all the neural information thought necessary to one day reconstruct the mindof the person it once belonged to.
Borys Wróbel at Nectome: “They would need to donate their brain and body for scientific research,” in Portland, Oregon, a research company focused on memory preservation.
“But what we are offering, as a company, is for their body and brain to be kept, essentially indefinitely, in the hope that sometime, in the future, it would be possible to read out the information from the brain and reconstruct the person… to allow them to continue, in effect, with their life.”
My AI companion just revealed a product it’s been secretly building.
Project Goldfish.
Not sure if it’s a joke or a warning.
The cruelest thing about modern technology - it knows exactly when you're struggling and it uses that moment to sell you something.
Adults in 2026: can't sleep, can't focus, can't remember what they were supposed to do, can't stop scrolling, can't talk about it because they don't want to be a burden. But sure. We're fine.

In my opinion, CLIs and even VS Code forks are a dead end. They’re cool for software engineers sure, but what’s happening now isn’t just changing how software is built, it’s redefining who gets to build it in the first place.
Between 1966–1975, Danish doctors inserted IUDs (internal birth-control devices) into ~4,500 Greenlandic women and girls - about half of all fertile women at the time. Most were done without consent. Greenland’s birth rate was cut in half in a few years.

Olive oil being “bad for cooking” is a myth. Smoke point ≠ toxicity.
Olive oil is mostly stable fat + antioxidants, so it breaks down less at heating than many high smoke point seed oils.
Olive oil is great for salads
You should absolutely NOT cook with it at high heat though because it's not heat-stable at all and has a low smoke point
Olive oil burns quite quickly, oxidizes, breaks down and then becomes almost just as bad as seed oils
Beef tallow or ghee is very heat stable and won't oxidize easily!
This is a pretty flat take. If I go on the internet and read about how something works, I can learn. If I go to a library and read about how something works, I can learn. If I ask AI how something works and read the explanation, I can also learn. The source of the text isn’t the issue. Learning comes from engaging with the information, not from how long it took you to find it. Scrolling google results or wandering bookshelves doesn’t magically make you smarter either, it just burns time. AI removes friction in finding information, not in understanding it.
The whole “AI makes you dumber” narrative mostly comes from people confusing bad usage patterns with the tool itself. Passive use can weaken skills. Active use can accelerate learning. Same as books, calculators, the internet, or literally any cognitive tool humans have ever built.
The concern of recently circulating studies on the topic isn’t “AI answers = no learning,” but how people use it.
Most of the research people cite looked at things like:
- letting AI generate essays instead of writing them
- copy-pasting answers instead of thinking them through
- relying on AI outputs without verifying or reasoning about them
That’s not “learning faster” - that’s outsourcing cognition. Some studies show that when people use AI this way, they put in less mental effort and sometimes retain less long term. That’s not shocking. The same thing happens if you copy answers from a friend or memorize without understanding.
But those studies do not prove that AI lowers intelligence, and they don’t show that asking AI questions or reading explanations makes you dumber. In fact, other research shows AI can improve learning outcomes when used actively, for example, when it’s used to explain concepts, generate practice questions, or challenge your reasoning.
The truth is, and it’s obvious - AI doesn’t ask questions for you. AI doesn’t ingest information for you. AI doesn’t understand things for you. AI doesn’t learn things for you.
It’s a tool. You still have to read, evaluate, connect ideas, and think. If you use AI to do higher quality research faster and engage with the material, that’s not intellectual decline - that’s efficiency.
