We must think very carefully about how we use AI's immense power. Will we continue destroying the natural world at ever-faster rates, or come to our senses and start respecting and protecting the real treasure of intelligence on planet Earth? It's time to choose wisely.

I'm increasingly convinced that many developers of dev tools exhibit dark triad tendencies, intentionally designing their tools to maximize user frustration.

People are still in the phase where they willingly hand over all their data to centralized AI giants in SF & Beijing, fueling massive spyware dragnets. While already very dangerous, when BCI and augmentation go mainstream, this blind trust will become fatal.

The entire scientific establishment should be critically challenged by overwhelming it with a flood of spam from flawed AI systems. It's time to dismantle the so-called 'mandate from heaven' that these institutions claim over global knowledge.

Hyper-personalized media, generated just-in-time based on real-time data about one's current context & state, is the holy grail of generative AI. The key challenges lie in preventing society from splintering into filter bubbles and avoiding the nasty side effects of wireheading

Building distributed, community-owned microgrids is the 21st-century power move. Combine that with renewables (Swanson’s law is key), decentralized wireless communications, and decentralized manufacturing (3D printing, including weapons), and you've got a revolution.

Vagus Nerve & HCI
Prolonged use of computers and mobile devices often results in poor posture, negatively impacting the vagus nerve and triggering various health issues. Surprisingly, this critical HCI concern has been largely overlooked and remains unaddressed.

Recently trip-sat a loved one with terminal cancer trying psilocybin for the first time. An incredibly intimate, challenging & rewarding experience. While i support the re-integration of plant magic into western culture, I oppose it being through medical/scientific institutions.

AI music generators Udio, Suno issue forceful fair use defense v. music labels
AI music generators Suno and Udio file Answers. They came to fight. Both represented by Latham & Watkins, they raise a forceful fair use defense. But even further: a copyright misuse defense alleging the music labels are engaged in anticompetitive uses of their copyright.

Us self-important hairless monkeys should pause our gadget obsessions and ego trips for a sec, and focus on the 90% decline in old-growth forests and the dramatic drop in river health globally over the past few hundreds of years. The situation is truly insane.

AI Girlfriend engagement time estimates, by a leading tech bros.
My Comment: Talking to an AI for 21h/week (3h/d) is weird today. Talking with loved ones (spouse, children, parents, friends) for 12h/week, is the US average today.
Talking to an AI for 21h per week will be normal tomorrow. Talking with loved ones for 1h per week, will be the US average.

The notable absence of large-scale AI deep fake attacks on all Fortune 500 brands (targeted image & reputation tarnishing, etc.) and their executives (slander, blackmail, etc.) shows that controlling the channel is far more important than the message itself.

Chasing order through higher dimensional representations is ultimately a fool's errand. The wise master embraces chaos as the core of everything, knowing nothing is under control—then focuses on relaxing. Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

A specter is haunting the world: the specter of multiple organizations conducting massive, covert digital twin simulations of large segments of the global population.

In the AI/UX/HCI field, it's inherently assumed that increasing computer usage is always beneficial. Few have the courage to challenge this status quo & explore how smarter machines could help us use computers less, freeing up more time for people & nature.
