Updating this from weekly to daily. I’ll make one more prediction: within five years, the “open” internet, which has been increasingly enclosed by all of these corporations, will vanish entirely. We are moving into the age of private walled gardens. It was nice while it lasted.

If I were a male gynecologist I would keep a couple of bits and gags in the chamber to keep my female patients at ease, considering the obvious. Like in order to lighten the mood before starting my examination, I would say something like “Now it’s time to take a look under the hood!” Or, if I could tell she was a little stressed during the exam by the level of her cervical tension (doctor term I coined), I would stop and cup my hands to my mouth and go “HELLOOOO ….. helloo ….. hello ……. hello” like an echo effect was coming from her cavernous sex. And if we go through the entire exam and we see everything down there is up to snuff or sniff , I would relay the good news by telling them: “Your pussy is BUSSIN’, queen!” then send her on her way with a lollipop in the shape of a vag. Also I’d only see patients who are under the age of 30.
I hope that, too, you, dear reader, don't have to even look at what this is about to know that it's not.
Current OpenAI strategy seems to be:
- Release always-on agent
- Slash Codex quotas to allocate capacity to always-on agent
- Freak out because of backlash and let Tibo issue a month of resets "and Codex improvements"
- Run out of capacity
- Codex is still so broken it undercuts its value proposition
- Always-on agent gets its teeth kicked in by Alexandr Wang anyway
- While all this is happening, get really into publishing safety disclosures. Make them up if you have to.
- While all this is happening, alienate entire mathematical community to demonstrate model capabilities. Model can't be released because of safety disclosures.
- IPO
Thank you, Bryan Johnson, for bringing my attention to an important issue: scummy IP-protection fearmongering by Eli Lily.
Your peptides may be coming fentanyl suppliers.
Anhui Renchen Technology was indicted in 2023 for supplying the Sinaloa Cartel with fentanyl precursors.
Their website currently sells semaglutide and melanotan II.
Of roughly 200 Chinese firms TRM Labs tracked selling fentanyl precursors, at least 50 now sell peptides.
The shipments enter the US in “master cartons” mislabelled as snack food, broken up by a domestic handler and mailed on. CBP has intercepted around 400 of those operations and seized over 130,000 vials in the past year.
FDA records surfaced showing two deaths, one in July and one in September, reported after people injected untested black market retatrutide.
Something civilizational I fear we are quietly losing is the heroism of Wall Street risk managers.
Chinese stock market today just entered a bear market.
This is what it would look like if you invested $500k in the U.S stock market vs China
Is just using AWS low-status or something? Surely it's not just too hard!
Railway just became the face of the worst day on the internet this year, but I’m still not doubting them.
I’m really mad at them. They put all of us in a terrible spot. It’s a bad look and I won’t pretend otherwise. But it’s easy to beat them while they're down, and that’s not the move I'm taking.
Railway wasn’t uniquely careless. They happened to be the best carrier for this attack vector. It could have been any platform, and the attackers picked the juiciest one. The engs there are still some of the most competent people I know, and they’ll come back from this.
Yesterday we got two critical PHP RCEs, and the FBI told everyone to take systems offline if they can’t patch them, lmao.
We’re entering an era where all software is vulnerable. Every platform holding secrets is a target now.
Then who's next? It's only a matter of time before companies start dropping like flies.
"San Franciscans," who for the last twenty years have primarily directed their energies towards showing advertisements to children, have become very convinced that they're prophets sent by God.

It's honestly getting kind of boring waiting for the moronic AI hypebeast hivemind of X to catch up to the consensus of the Wall Street credit analysts who are 10x more diligent and legit than they are.

If the 2003 Davis-Besse nuclear plant SQL Slammer incident occurred today people would be posting about how to say goodbye to your loved ones.
I'm not a conspiracy-minded person. But one of the conspiracies I do believe is that "disappearing polymorphs" are a generally a laboratory error, and persist in the imagination because the concept is useful in patent litigation.
