LLMs do not understand, will not understand, and cannot ever understand information. It's a glorified search engine combined with auto-compete, and you should treat it as such. No matter how much LLM companies try to tell you their machines can think or reason, they cannot and will not.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

When people say AI is inevitable, let them know the future isn’t settled.

When I realized I could put 2.5m in bank and live on the 100k of interest it generated every year - and literally do no other capitalist labor for the rest of my life - it made the obscene wealth hoarding seem even more like a mental illness. None of this is necessary or useful in any tangible way
It's ludicrous to me how a few hundred thousand dollars is all I need to no longer play this debt game that is a 9 to 5 in America and there’s a billionaire out there that just made that amount of money in the time it took me to type this out.

And like it or not, that’s an insult to every single protest and movement that’s existed before. Mutual aid is not new. Legal observers are not new. Observing the police is not new. These are not groundbreaking concepts. They’re just being seen by the public in a way that might be new to them.

One thing that is true in this age of "AI" is that authenticity is going to be prized more than ever before. A single hand-scrawled sign is going have more impact than the smoothest "AI" image because the people seeing it knows it comes from someone's brain, not a tuned algorithm.

Getting into A Desolation Called Peace by @byzantienne.bsky.social for my first book of 2026. This sentence did something for my imagination “It was her bridge now, her bridge and her command. All her officers rotated toward her as if they were flowers and she was a welcome sunrise.” 🌅

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is educate normal people on complex subjects in ways that are engaging and digestible.

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.

What's ominous is all of the trusted women of color who know a lot about AI are saying that a crash is on the way and the white guys are pretending they are taking it to the moon. This means that a crash is definitely on its way.
