(Diary) I don’t work *for* anyone other than mankind and my people. Otherwise I have customers, partners, and friends. Compensation, when necessary, is just part of the cost of cooperation on one thing vs another thing. As such I have generally built companies that serve others while providing me a vehicle for research and development. 😉
(Explaining this to someone today. Why? Autistic tendency to treat everyone as a peer until proven otherwise; trait disagreeableness meaning non-conformity and preservation of agency (freedom); ADHD that means we can’t focus on it if it isn’t interesting; and lastly that I’ve had a moral mission since I was twelve and I never deviate from it. Why? Mankind is always running in the dark with a lamp in one hand and scissors in the other. Humans need all the help they can get. 😉 If only so they do less harm to me and those I care about. 😉 )
(RUNCIBLE) COMPARISON OF AI’S – MORNING TEST RUN 1. OpenAI (deep, insightful, best understanding) 2. Grok (deep, current, but a touch glossing) 3. Gemini (shallow) 4. Anthropic (far behind)
What we do is very hard for LLMs. It exposes their abilities partly because we’re between novel and revolutoinary so they can’t regurgitate existing patterns.. So it has to reason quite a bit more deeply.
We are at the stage of development where we’ve provent the Runcible governance for LLMs works, and we can just add additional protocols (tests, gates, outputs) to expand the breadth.
Sabine Hossenfelder Fixes Physics 😉 (A woman in science that really, really, matters.)
The first physicist to explain what’s wrong with physics, our understanding of it, and why, and largely what to do about it. Please have a watch, It’s worth it. Simple, clear, and direct as she always is.

I my own work I came to the same conclusion but I can’t warranty it as other than a logical analysis of how humans engage in ignorance error bias and deceit – even for the best of reasons. Since I spend so much time cataloging human error I tend to see it whenever its present. In physics that error is what we call ‘mathiness’ in economics, idealism in philosophy, and the confusion that Einstein was describing light and perception not physical bodies independent of them in our general interpretation. Now if we can just get to the point where space is a medium, and that there is at least one or two layers beyond the quantum background (that medium) and figure out how to conduct experiments with it, then we might get somewhere. 😉
Thanks to Sabine for her work. The value of the german mind at work. 😉
David. Sorry man. Love you, but you’ve malinvested in an unlikely determinism because you cannot imagine, despite historical evidence, what could be done if in fact much white collar labor is replaceable. But you have overcommitted at this point and won’t correct because of that malivestment and overcommitment: you’re a normal human. We will, like the Athenians and Egyptians reallocate labor from text to action and improve our commons. Eventually we will find new opportunities that favor a different set of status signals and their pursuit by a different category of production.
I don’t do hate. I do frustration. I do exasperation. I do pragmatism. I do painful realism. But I don’t do hate. Like fear, hate is a mind-killer, and it rots you from the inside out. Instead, identification > recognition > choice > determination > planning > struggling > making it happen. In many ways, indulging your emotions is a means of doing nothing and congratulating yourself for it.
