What the hell did I just end up reading!
This #book is the most intelligent science fiction I’ve read but it’s also most challenging.
The author doesn’t care to explain all the complicated creatures and systems he’s imagining - the reader has to piece it together as she reads along.

This is insane.
Gemini solves problems on the image itself.
Think how crazy this is: it has to somehow fit all the steps within the space provided using a similar font size as my handwriting.
These AIs are getting smarter and weirder!

What an absolute gem of a #book on the philosophy of mathematics!
The book asks for an innocuous question - what are we doing when we’re doing mathematics?

Unsolicited tip to all my friends:
Never ask to borrow books from people who keep a lot of books at their home — they keep them around precisely because they’re irrationally attached to their books :)

A rare kind of superpower is the ability to take criticism and process it without impacting your feelings.
Whoever is able to do that becomes an unstoppable optimizer.

Google has a massive opportunity to eat Nvidia’s lunch.
It seems they trained Gemini 3 fully on TPUs only.
So all they need to do now is to double down on their JAX ecosystem and reduce TPU prices on Google Cloud.

It’s so ironic that ChatGPT knows what its future self could end up doing, and what humans should do to prevent that.

The paradox of living in the present moment is that you must willingly give up on the illusion of free will.
You must become a vehicle for the time flow through you without trying to control it.

Delhi has the prime minister, president, Supreme Court judges, army chiefs, AIIMS doctors and most of the other powerful people in India.
And, yet, the AQI is close to 1000 and the issue remains unsolved for years.
How absolutely nuts is that!

Stop watching short-form videos.
Meta-analysis of ~100k people shows how it is associated with decreased cognition and increased stress + anxiety.
I know this is correlation, not causation but ask yourself - do you feel great after a session of consuming reels/shorts?

AI models aren’t like traditional engineered systems where we know the mechanism,
how it works and what it’s capable of.
Not even model builders know the full potential of what they’re creating.
This should indicate how weird and crazy things are going to get.

I’m low-key pissed that none of the frontier AI companies reveal their research advances, while they must be openly using everything that academics put out publicly.

There’s a feedback cycle for self-control (that goes both ways).
The more you exercise your willpower, the more confident you get about controlling your actions.
This is why, instead of big resolutions, you should start with tiny acts of willpower and build upon it gradually.

Quality of life is largely a function of satisfaction with how things are, averaged over all moments in life.
With this view, any singular event in life has close to zero impact as it’s fleeting; but your mindset and daily environment has a disproportionate contribution.

An intriguing #book.
In it, the author - a philosopher - argues that finetuning of our physical constants is an evidence of a purpose in our universe, which includes emergence of life and realization of value.

The world rewards agency more than any other trait, including raw IQ.
In a way, true intelligence is the ability to win, and hence it’s smartness + bias for action.
