Update for the 3 people care about Local AI on my timeline. A second 3090 has been acquired so I can run dual instances of the main QWEN 27B model and knock my Longmemeval benchmark runs from 5+ days down to 2.5. Last full run broke into the low 80%s. Few patches later we are looking to see if we can get SOTA level numbers with a completely locally hosted and air gapped setup using Obama era hardware. Brunt of the work is on the 3090s and they are relaying to the 5060TI for embedding/retrieval. 2009 - Lenovo S20 - 5060TI 16gb - DDR3! 2014 - HP Z840 - 2x3090 48gb - DDR4

Lots of work, but we are getting there. Taking on the LongMemEval Benchmark now with a local model smoking a 3090 and a 5060TI. Let's see what we can do with this QWEN 3.5 27B model 😎

“I’m selling LSD, a Schedule 1 drug, over the Internet”
Paul F. Austin@PaulAustin3w

Hikrodosing is becoming a thing. Take a low dose of psilocybin or LSD, go for a long hike, and let the combination of movement, nature, and a mild psychedelic state do what neither a gym session nor a full trip can do on its own. Golden Rule's Super Sol is built for exactly this. Each gummy contains 30 mcg of LSD, a dose that sits above a standard microdose but well below a full psychedelic experience. You feel it. There's a noticeable shift in sensory engagement, openness, and clarity that lasts 8 to 12 hours. Enough to change the quality of a hike, a long creative session, or an afternoon spent in conversation with someone you care about. Not enough to take you out of your life. This dosing range has a name that most people in the psychedelic world have never encountered: psycholytic dosing. It was the dominant clinical framework for LSD in Europe throughout the 1950s and 60s before prohibition shut everything down. Practitioners used doses typically between 30 and 80 mcg, enough to produce real shifts in perception and cognitive flexibility while preserving what clinicians called "reflective ego capacity." You could think clearly, hold a conversation, and do genuine emotional and cognitive work without being overwhelmed. Repeated sessions at this level produced cumulative benefits that single high-dose experiences didn't. Super Sol at 30 mcg sits right at the threshold of psycholytic territory. I'd call it a medi-dose. It occupies a middle ground that the psychedelic world has largely ignored in its fixation on either sub-perceptual microdosing or full-blown high-dose sessions. But this middle ground is where I think most of the practical, ongoing value actually lives. The psycholytic range is the future of how most people will actually use psychedelics. Not in a clinic, not in a ceremony, but woven into real life. A hikrodose on a Saturday morning. A medi-dose before a deep conversation or a day of writing. Super Sol ships from Colorado to all 50 states, and the fact that a precisely dosed LSD product in this range exists commercially is still wild to me. What's been your experience with doses in this middle range, above a microdose but below a full trip?

@Ric_RTP What a bad take. It’s the structural change and the stated intent for donated money that is the issue, not that the mission is ‘public benefit’

In 19 days, a jury in Oakland is going to decide whether the entire legal foundation of the AI industry is built on fraud. Everyone thinks the Musk vs Altman lawsuit is a billionaire grudge match. Two egos, one grudge, a $150 billion damages number designed for headlines. Easy to dismiss. Easy to scroll past. That's exactly what Altman wants you to think. Because what's actually on trial on April 27 is something much BIGGER than Elon's hurt feelings... A jury is going to decide whether you can legally take billions of dollars in nonprofit donations, use them to build the most valuable technology in human history, and then quietly convert that nonprofit into a for-profit company worth $850 billion. If the answer is no, the entire AI industry has a problem. Because OpenAI is not the only company that did this: Anthropic was founded by OpenAI defectors using the same nonprofit-first mission language. xAI pitches itself as building AI "for humanity." Every frontier lab has used the moral cover of "we're doing this for the good of the world" to attract talent, capital, and regulatory goodwill they would have never gotten otherwise. An Elon win doesn't just touch OpenAI. It creates a legal precedent that every AI company built on a nonprofit or public benefit promise becomes vulnerable to shareholder and donor clawback suits. That's why this case matters. And that's why Altman is panicking. Just look at what he did this week: Elon filed a motion demanding the court remove Altman and Brockman from their roles and FORCE OpenAI to return to its nonprofit origins. Then he amended the suit to say if he wins the $150 billion, all of it goes to OpenAI's charity arm. Not him. Zero dollars to Elon personally. That amendment was surgical. It stripped Altman of his entire public defense. He can no longer claim this is about Elon's ego or Elon's bank account. Elon is now legally on record saying he just wants the mission back. OpenAI's response was to panic-write a letter to the California and Delaware attorneys general asking them to investigate Elon for "anti-competitive behavior." Their strategy chief publicly accused Elon of coordinating attacks with Mark Zuckerberg. They called the lawsuit "harassment driven by ego and jealousy." That's NOT the response of a company that thinks it's going to win. Real companies with real defenses don't ask the government to silence the person suing them 3 weeks before trial. They let the evidence speak. OpenAI is scrambling because they know what's in discovery. Elon's team has been building this case for two years. Emails, board minutes, internal conversations about the conversion. The kind of paper trail that juries understand and executives can't explain away. And the timing couldn't be worse... OpenAI is trying to IPO at $852 billion. They just raised $122 billion. Microsoft has $135 billion of exposure to them. A jury verdict that even partially sides with Elon in late April or May would crater the entire IPO runway and send shockwaves through every major AI investor on Earth. This is why Altman spent the last 2 weeks doing press tours and policy blueprints and "super intelligence agendas" aimed at Washington. He's trying to REFRAME himself as the responsible statesman of AI right before a jury decides if he's a con artist. Most people will watch this trial start and think it's celebrity drama. The smart money is watching it and realizing that the legal foundation of the AI boom is about to be tested in court for the first time EVER. And if that foundation cracks, everything built on top of it is at risk.

Document the "why" behind magic numbers. When boiling down charts or tables or numbers, document the why and how they were derived. Method matters. Don't hide it.

I find myself in the enviable position of helping others learn how to transition from analytics or ops or business to starting to build their own engineered tools. A little blind leading the blind, but man, am I learning a ton. Here are a few axioms that I've really set in stone for myself over the last few days of helping others build their first projects.

Oracle executives are getting DEATH THREATS after that 6 AM email massacre and Larry Ellison just hired Blackwater-level private security 30,000 workers butchered via automated email while Oracle posts $6.13 BILLION in quarterly profits I'm hearing Oracle leadership is now working from "undisclosed locations" because former employees are showing up at headquarters with printed copies of their termination emails Sources saying the Redwood City campus looks like a military compound. Armed guards checking IDs. Parking garage access restricted. Executive floor completely locked down. Oracle spent more on executive protection this quarter than they'll pay in severance to 30,000 families The same company that automates human termination emails can't automate executive safety Larry Ellison's yacht has three security boats following it. Safra Catz hasn't been photographed in public since the bloodbath. Meanwhile former Oracle workers are posting TikToks outside Ellison's $300 million Malibu compound One terminated engineer drove 800 miles from Austin just to stand at the gate with a sign reading "I BUILT YOUR CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE FOR 12 YEARS" Oracle's AI algorithms can eliminate 30,000 jobs in milliseconds but can't predict when desperate people stop playing by corporate rules If you're still at Oracle, your executives are literally hiding from you behind armed security while counting the money they made from destroying your career The revolution isn't coming through the front door anymore. It's coming through the fucking walls.
