2026 will likely be a breakthrough year for Augmented Reality. Prediction:
Once shared simulation layers (AI agents, AR overlays, personalized world models) begin to overlap, reality itself becomes a negotiable social contract, continuously rewritten through interaction. Each person’s “version” of the world is like a branch in a Git repository - reality becomes a distributed version - control system for perception.
The new skill, therefore, isn’t storytelling but merging: the ability to reconcile divergent perceptual branches into a functional shared world without erasing difference. The next social UX challenge isn’t creating new worlds - it’s handling merge conflicts of reality.
And when consensus reality finally collapses under its own recursion, we’ll toast the chaos. The real enlightenment will come when we stop resolving merge conflicts altogether and just let the paradox compile.

GenAI is making media smarter and dumber at the same time. When only Illuminati-sanctioned megacorps are allowed to serve slop laced with (mind) control logic, mass brain rot becomes policy.

By 2029, the term "advertising" will be largely obsolete - replaced with MCaaS (Mind-Control as a Service), allowing your to puncture the weak cognitive security of billions with great precision. InfoSec will be redefined.

"Empires don't fail, they transform: The Roman empire became a church. The British empire became a bank. The American empire became the internet (or a data-center)". - Samim
While itt's fashionable these days to proclaim "US has more data centers than the rest of the world combined…" that statistic is wildly misleading. We’ve been in a post-national era for a while — where ownership, infrastructure, and control are opaque, distributed, and largely offshore. “US” is just a convenient fiction.

The brain doesn’t “store data”; it maintains resonant attractors that compress meaning into dynamics. Each oscillatory pattern is a lossy, context-dependent summary of prior experience that can be expanded (decoded) when needed. In other words: The brain’s oscillations are not just rhythms, they are compressive, generative codecs of reality.

ConwAI’s Law
Anthropic's Claude 4.5 is a very sloppy coding LLM - over-confident (“I fixed it!”) and sycophantic (“This is genius!”) - while constantly making the silliest mistakes. A bit like their management.
ConwAI’s Law: AI models inherit the bad habits of the orgs that build them.

AI Music in 2025 – Notes on a Stalled Revolution
It’s been over a year since we wound down our generative music startup okio. Since then the space has “evolved” in ways both predictable and boring.
We now have 50+ high-quality video gen models, yet music still has just a handful (suno, udio, stability, 11labs…) - all closed source, all sounding somewhere between bland and absolute dog poo (unless you burn weeks on trial-and-error hacks).
The music industry’s lawyer army has strangled innovation, while many musicians have turned violently anti-AI. UX innovation has stalled too: most tools haven’t evolved in a year, others now mimic a shitty DAW in the browser.
Some sell “ethically sourced data” (usually half-true), but it's pointless as outputs still sound like dog poo. Google showed off real-time gen, but in mega-corp fashion it’ll never be a real product - they'll ship a muzak machine for video slop at scale.
The only glimmer: Chinese dark-horses might drop open-source, uncensored models trained on everything. They’ll sound great—and get demonized in the West.
Shame, because the promise of generative music has never been bigger.
Music is humanity’s most direct technology for emotion. And yet AI music has been reduced to slop and jingles. It’s a tragedy of imagination: the space where innovation should be loudest is dead quiet.
My bet is that the real breakthroughs won’t come from the lawyer-choked West or from UX gimmicks. They’ll come from the underground, open source, and global scenes - just like every real musical revolution before. Onwards!

Religion, intelligence, and mafia power have long been entwined. AI is only their latest altar.

Google and the other heads of the hydra are using AI to dismantle the open web and cripple the world’s knowledge system - burying primary sources, making real scholarship nearly impossible. Why? Because: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” — Orwell, 1984.

The datacenters of the future will be fungal: vast underground mycelial networks performing reservoir computation - infinitely more advanced and sustainable than today’s silicon monstrosities.
Tired: Nvidia - Wired: Nfungi

LL3M: Large Language 3D Modelers
#Comment: Tried to implement this concept 2 years ago but quality was poor. Great to see this working. Applicable to many other tools.

US AI Economics
The AI infrastructure build-out is so gigantic that in the past 6m, it contributed more to the growth of the U.S. economy than /all of consumer spending/
The 'magnificent 7' spent more than $100 billion on data centers and the like in the past three months *alone*
As a % of GDP, spending on AI infra has already exceeded spending on telecom and internet infrastructure from the dot-com boom—and it’s still growing.
This spending is so big it’s acting as a sort of private-sector stimulus program.

Prediction: As the Cyborg Theocracy takes over power in the years ahead, global focus will shift from Artificial Intelligence to Experimental Theology.
