At 21, I was tasked with recreating the Lion King stampede at Disney.
The original team had 2+ years and a trip to Kenya. I had the public library.
I've never told this story publicly before. How a self-taught kid from Detroit with no high school diploma helped shift Disney from pencils to pixels.

This is MASSIVE!
Every corporate media outlet in America owes @PatrickByrne an apology.

Real.
Our history was shaped by ALL Americans. President Trump values our history, our people, our monuments, and our capital city.

This paper answers:
why anything is beautiful
why jokes are funny
why we get curious
why you get bored
why babies explore
why music has hooks
For centuries, we thought these were deeply mystical human traits. Soul-level mysteries that machines could never touch.
But, the paper proves that the human brain operates as a relentless compression engine. It is constantly trying to predict the world and compress it into the smallest possible file size.
Here is how it explains your entire life:
If something is completely predictable, your brain has already compressed it. There is no new data to extract. The result? You feel bored.
If something is pure randomness, your brain cannot compress it at all. The result? You feel annoyed or tune it out.
But then there is the sweet spot.
When you encounter something that seems complex, but suddenly your brain finds the hidden pattern and connects the dots... your brain releases dopamine.
That sudden, glorious rush of successful data compression? That is what you experience as "curiosity."
When a comedian tells a story that makes no sense, and the punchline suddenly makes all the pieces fit together instantly? That rapid neural compression is what you experience as "humor."
When you look at a painting and notice an underlying symmetry that ties the chaos together? That is "beauty."
Art, science, music, and jokes are not magic.
They are just highly optimized data sets designed to trigger compression progress in your neural network.
Here is the most unsettling part.
This paper wasn't written by a philosopher. It was written by an AI pioneer to figure out how to program intrinsic motivation into artificial agents.
He wasn't trying to explain humans. He was writing the blueprint for machines.
We always assumed AI could never appreciate art, laugh at a joke, or feel the spark of curiosity.
But if our deepest subjective experiences are just a mathematical reward for maximizing compression progress...

THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

American glass. American metal. American silicon. American batteries. American workers. American everything.
BlueChip is the first American computer in decades. Don't let anyone lie to you and say it can't be done.
Designed in California. Built in America.
One of my agents hit a hung browser on my laptop. It didn't stop and ask. It switched to another machine and carried on.
A small multi-machine team of cloud and local agents from several vendors, reviewing each other's work, each with defined protocols and boundaries.
Building it is one of the most frustrating and enjoyable things I've done.
You really see who someone is when they think you are at a disadvantage.
Do not forget how others treat you when you appear vulnerable, no matter how good they treat you when you appear strong.

Announcing 3 Critical vulns for hundreds of millions of IoT, Firewalls, OT, and Military devices including: Palo Alto Networks, Comcast, D-Link, HP, Canon, Honeywell, GE, Oracle, Siemens, Rockwell, Digi, Lockheed Martin, Boeing...
The vulns are with GoAhead Web Server which is a backend library used by these devices. There's a patch available from GoAhead but that doesn't mean there's a patch available for the devices yet -- that's up to the manufacturer.
- TLS traffic over DHE ciphers have a 1-byte secret, "04", meaning anyone can decrypt connections to these devices and steal login credentials and session tokens if the client negotiated with DHE ciphers like the latest TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, which is extremely likely.
- LibreSSL mTLS has been completely bypassed, meaning anyone can connect over mTLS. If you have one of these devices listening on the internet and are expecting mTLS to protect it from attackers, take it offline or patch asap.
- OpenSSL Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) are not enforced, meaning if a user device is stolen or compromised, and you revoke that mTLS cert, nothing actually happens. There are a lot of other attacks this can be used for.
These are critical because these types of devices run our world. Water systems, electricity, military, firewalls, critical infrastructure.

For anyone curious about what it actually looked like to kill a generation of functioning cars, here’s an actual video from 2009 and brief explanation:
The dealer first replaces the oil with sodium silicate solution. It’s a clear-ish liquid that crystallizes under extreme heat. As the engine warms up the solution begins to form small abrasive crystals in the oil system that shred the bearing and score the cylinder walls.
Within seconds of starting the car you can see smoke billowing from the exhaust, this is the crystals scratching the cylinder walls and leaving small grooves for oil and solution to leak past into the combustion chamber and ignite/evaporate, producing the white smoke.
Pretty soon the entire crankcase is full of crystals and freshly shredded metal flakes, the engine seizes. It took about 40 seconds in this video. Some engines reportedly lasted up to 7 minutes, but all were destroyed. That strikes me as sort of sad in a way, like watching a great warrior slowly lose a heroic last stand.
Now, this is the part that gets insanely wasteful. These cars were sent to federally approved recycling facilities where they had 180 days to sell the non-engine parts before they were required to prove that they had shred the entire thing into scrap steel.
But, in talking to a guy who ran one such facility at the time, he typically just sent them straight to the crusher. The timeframes allotted weren’t long enough to dismantle all of the cars, and even if you could, the marginal prices of the parts was greatly diminished. You cannot sell 1000 transmissions when only 50 went bad that year, they became worthless.
So just like that, in order to increase prosperity and save the environment, 677,000 entire running cars and trucks were turned directly into rebar worth a few cents per pound.
The entire Obama administration was like a chapter out of atlas shrugged.
Barack Obama was horrible in a million different ways, but he doesn’t get anywhere near the hate he deserves for destroying the used car market for an entire generation.
15-year-old cars with 150,000 miles that should be selling for $3,000 are going for $15,000. It’s abominable. Pure destruction and thievery.

Heads up, @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI. Rumor reaches my ears that you're doing a stupid thing, and should stop before you damage yourselves.
I hear you've now nerfed your models so that when people try to use them to clean the spamware and spyware out of their televisions, you block that.
If you really want Chinese open-weight models and open-source projects like OpenWaldo to eat your lunch, crippling your models so that people paying expensive subscriptions can't use them for completely legitimate purposes is a great way to accomplish this.
If, on the other hand, you'd rather have a volume business, maybe stupid arbitrary restrictions that look like they have the sole purpose of protecting corporate sleazeballs aren't such a good idea.
A word to the wise should be sufficient.
in less technical terms: a method for permanently taking back control of your TV, so long as your tv is arm64-based is looking promising as a free and open tool we can release.
if you want know some of what i discovered on my 2024 era samsung tv read my latest tweets.

Never seen a more flagrant and violent breach of privacy in my life, and probably never will. Doubtful that a privacy violation will ever even be able to compare to the scale of this evil and deliberate attack.
Samsung should be eviscerated for this. Criminal charges please
Let me get this straight.
A guy keeps getting weirdly targeted ads on his new Samsung TV.
So he breaks into his own TV to find out why. 1.2M people watch.
42 hours later, OpenAI deactivates his account. Reason: "Cyber Abuse."
His words: "i have never used openai to exploit or find vulnerabilities, only local reverse engineering"
Same week, people on r/claude say Claude now cuts off reverse-engineering write-ups MID-SENTENCE:
"A safety check stopped my response partway through creating the playbook"
The TV is fine.
The guy who opened it is the problem.

When a corporation can unilaterally cut you off from accessing the most valuable resources in the world, you are not free.
You are a peasant. You are a serf.
This is technofeudalism. We need mandatory access to AI as a right enforced by citizenship.
We need sovereign AI. We need local and open AI.
Actually open AI. Not 'OpenAI'.
