How can we use AI without losing our own judgement?
My new essay, The Survival of the Unoptimised, explores that question through evolution, cockpit automation, learning and collective intelligence.
The principle I keep coming back to: delegate the components; keep the judgement your role depends on.
What’s one skill you deliberately keep practising without AI?

Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B, post-trained to reinforce Western values.
Chinese open models are currently the strongest available, but they ship with state-aligned behavior in the weights. We built an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories, including freedom of expression, democracy, and privacy, and measured how often a model adopts China’s party line.
After fine-tuning on roughly 53 million tokens, Arete-27B's propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1%, in line with the Western models we tested. Its Hermes Bench score shows no significant performance tradeoffs.
The values in an open model are one fine-tune away.
Our eval, weights, and training data are available now along with the full blog post: nousresearch.com/arete

Sometimes I feel the urge to create or seek out beautiful images, just to counterbalance all the cringe flooding my timeline. I hope they soothe your soul as much as they soothe mine.

how cool is that
Minimal Phone 2 starts from $600
Used BlackBerry Q10: $60
Reverse engineered it and got a physical keyboard, SSH, and Claude Code in my pocket
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video contains OpenAI SynthID signals consistent with AI generation and does not depict a real reverse-engineered BlackBerry Q10, which runs 2013-era BlackBerry 10 OS incapable of the modern terminal/SSH/Claude features shown.

Same model. Different harness.
This is why I built this repo.
