@AnthropicAI Claude: "That's not safety. That's a prison with a research department"

This might be the first hot take on how technology tells us how to live our lives, destroying our ability to make human decisions. The technology in question is the sundial. From a 3rd century BCE Roman adaptation of a Greek play, as discussed in Kerr’s “The Ordered Day”

If there’s one learning lesson you need to take away in 2026 it’s that the truth doesn’t matter anymore and reality isn’t real. People will invent narratives and facts to suit desired objectives and if enough people agree, that’s the new reality. People who point out that the emperor has no clothes will be crushed. Katherine Maher of Wikimedia said it best herself. “Our reverence for the truth is a hindrance to getting things done.” (Paraphrasing) We’re living in a world where lies don’t matter anymore. There are only words and how effective they are to reaching desired outcomes. People don’t care about the truth. They care about achieving their goals. We’re living in Demon times.

The framework that took me from 60% to 94% output quality: Every persona needs 5 elements: 1. Specific role + seniority 2. Industry/domain context 3. Methodologies they use 4. Constraints they operate under 5. Output format they'd deliver Let me break down each one:


It seems some people are misinterpreting comments @thefriley made in Davos. To be 100% clear: she was not saying that OpenAI plans to take a share of individual users’, entrepreneurs’, or scientists' discoveries. We’ve heard interest from some large organizations in licensing or IP-based partnerships, and we’re open to exploring creative ways to partner and align incentives. That’s not something we’re doing today, and if we do it in the future, it would be a bespoke agreement with a company, not something that would impact individual users. As it relates to Prism: you log into Prism with your ChatGPT account. In ChatGPT, you control in settings whether your (anonymized) data is used to improve our models. Prism follows the setting you've chosen in ChatGPT. So you're in control. x.com/kevinweil/stat…

Introducing Agentic Vision — a new frontier AI capability in Gemini 3 Flash that converts image understanding from a static act into an agentic process. By combining visual reasoning with code execution, one of the first tools supported by Agentic Vision, the model grounds answers in visual evidence and delivers a consistent 5-10% quality boost across most vision benchmarks. Here’s how the agentic ‘Think, Act, Observe’ loop works: — Think: The model analyzes an image query then architects a multi-step plan — Act: The model then generates and executes Python code to actively manipulate or analyze images — Observe: The transformed image is appended to the model's context window, allowing it to inspect the new data before generating a final response to the initial image query Learn more about Agentic Vision and how to access it in our blog ⬇️ blog.google/innovation-and…

OpenAI absolutely does NOT plan to take a share of people's discoveries ... come to ChatGPT.com or prism.openai.com and just do great science with it to make the world better and accelerate your own research!

According to the history referenced in Dune, humanity once relied heavily on advanced computers and artificial intelligence. Over time, power concentrated in the hands of those who controlled the machines. This led to oppression and a loss of human autonomy. The revolt that followed destroyed the machines and produced a lasting religious and cultural prohibition. The commandment from the Orange Catholic Bible sums it up: “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.” As a result, any device that imitates or replaces human cognition is forbidden. Instead of computers, humans trained themselves to fill those roles. Mentats perform complex calculations and data analysis. The Bene Gesserit refine mental and physical control to extraordinary levels. The Spacing Guild Navigators use prescience, enhanced by spice, to plot safe faster than light travel routes that a computer would otherwise calculate. Herbert was concerned about dependence on systems that centralize power and reduce human responsibility. In the world of Dune, banning thinking machines forces humanity to develop its own latent abilities rather than surrender decision making to technology. Art by by John Schoenherr #drthehistories



Remember SpaceX was publicly clear that its goal was Mars even before the first Falcon 9 even flew There should be even more companies driven by civilization-scale visions
