One of the more powerful speeches in todays history. Being willing to confront Trump's overreach in power with strength is a huge stance against both Trump and the democratic establishment that keeps appeasing him

Monte Carlo path tracing in shadertoy

Ray traces dynamic SDFs with physically-based materials (Lambertian, dielectric, metals), using ray marching and the probabilistic Monte Carlo integration of the rendering equation, all in one shader.

This is an old project + clean up/bug fixes

This is accurate, there is nuance though. The dirsuptive impact will negatively affect some people - measures should be taken to help them adapt. The efficiency gains will also make impactful work more sustainable (cost & time wise) & the economy will evolve with new opprotunties. Both can be true.

Elon leveraged the billions he got from the wave of AI investment, to buyout/offset his risk of falling revenue & billions of debt. This prices the core value of X not as social media, but as an AI data source & distribution. This valuation is largely dependent on future promises

I once found a bee struggling in the sand. People were scared it'd sting, so they buried it. But I picked it up & the sting never came, it was just grateful and a bee was saved.

How many times do we bury oursleves, closing the door on others in fear of pain. In fear of a sting that never comes.
