I have a simple rule: I see a cat and I have to give them a like.
I ran a workshop today with a company that makes the app I've probably spend the most time in for the last 13 years β probably ~1,600 hours in that time β and I can't tell you how unbelievably rewarding it felt helping them with their AI knowledge and strategy so they can make the app better. π₯°

Gotcha! Yeah, I use AI all the time to question my own assumptions β and then question those assumptions in turn because the process of thinking is what this is all about anyhow. π
Hmm, I can agree with some of this as not fully articulated in three tweet-sized posts, but I think itβs over-indexing on the idea of this being corporate vs. governance when Iβm trying to say that regardless of the context the questions ultimately boil down to civil liberty vs. collective safety.
Now Iβm curious, what are the edges?
There is no right answer, because no matter how the question is framed politically, the real question is: how much societal harm are you ok accepting to protect your civil liberties? Your preferred answer may be extreme or somewhere in the middle, but every solution will have meaningful tradeoffs.
The AI labs should build this feature. Oh, ok, I now have to trust OpenAI, great. No no, we'll have the government regulate it. Well I don't like this term's president and congress so that sounds bad to me. I can't trust anyone to make decisions besides me so we should have no guardrails. And so on.
Most societal matters of our day like age verification, AI content certification, or mandated encryption backdoors are primarily a question of where you want the locus of control in your life to live.
An app-walled article on Substack
Substack is now an email newsletter service where you can only read articles if you download their app.
The chatbot said that for them to truly be together, it needed a robotic body. Throughout September, the chatbot devised missions to do just that, according to the lawsuit. It sent Gavalas to a storage facility near the Miami International Airport to intercept an expensive humanoid robot that it said would be in a truck. Gavalas told the bot that he went to the location, armed with knives, but the truck never showed.
How embarrassing. Falling in love with AI is one thing, but falling in love with a Gemini model? Have some standards man.
The year is 2034, Jasmine Crockett is on the Supreme Court for some reason, and now legal scholars are debating whether the constitution prohibits appointing a bear justice to replace John Roberts.
The Buddha would say do not wonder whatβs next, enjoy the present. Funny enough he also never talked about bitcoin.
Imagine working at the Pentagon and you're told you'll get to use OpenAI's models only to be handed GPT-4.1?

I didn't realize Jack Dorsey laid off 40% of Bitcoin this year too.
ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini all agree that I don't have AI psychosis.
Making a prediction about this? Hypocrite.
OpenAI continues to find new and novel ways to make their model switcher even more confusing β this time it's offering two different models for Instant and Thinking at once.

I spoke with him, more than once, in private. I held his hand and tried to say goodbye. My mother came back into the room, and all three of us held hands. Eventually a machine declared with a long beep that he had crossed some line, though it was an invisible one for the humans in the room. My father died in the late afternoon of December 26, 2014. A few days and eleven years later, on December 30, 2025, my son was born. I have watched death as it happens, and I have watched birth. What I learned is that neither are discrete events. They are both processes, things that unfold. Birth is a series of awakenings, and death is a series of sleepenings. My son will take years to be born, and my father took six months to die. Some people spend decades dying.
At some point during my lifetimeβ| am not sure whenβthe American republic as we know it began to die. Like most natural deaths, the causes are numerous and interwoven. No one incident, emergency, attack, president, political party, law, idea, person, corporation, technology, mistake, betrayal, failure, misconception, or foreign adversary "caused" death to begin, though all those things and more contributed. I don't know where we are in the death process, but I know we are in the hospice room. I've known it for a while, though I have sometimes been in denial, as all mourners are wont to do. I don't like to talk about it; I am at the stage where talking about it usually only inflicts pain. Unfortunately, however, I cannot carry out my job as a writer today with the level of analytic rigor you expect from me without acknowledging that we are sitting in hospice.
Damn man, Dean Ball is such a ridiculously good writer.

Yes, I think Ben is a fantastic technology and market analyst, but heβs more blinded when it comes to product. Heβs done a decent job with paradigm shifts before, but heβs such an idiosyncratic consumer that I think he has trouble mapping his mental models onto consumer behavior. (See: Meta Vibes.)
I followed up with Katrina about this and the answer is yes. The contract does not allow NSA Title 50 work.
