🚨 Scientists suggest psychedelics may reveal a “truer” version of reality, while your brain normally blocks it

🚨Second Sphinx buried on Giza Plateau Update: Before/After: The “mound” did not exist in 1929 This is undoubtedly a heap of earth from the clearing of sand/excavation dumps in the last 100 years. We all know they moved immense amounts of earth to clear Giza. However, I still advocate for digging a simple test-hole to establish if there is a “Second Sphinx” buried below. Although, I admit that I have significant doubts on this alleged discovery, and on the validity of the alleged capabilities of SARS scans itself, I also know that this will be debated all over the internet until it is definitively proven one way or the other. SO, I say DIG the test hole. Do we all really want to just debate online for the rest of our lives? Nah, let’s Dig 🪏- This is the quickest and easiest way to find out once and for all if Filippo Biondi’s alleged tech (including the supposed discovery of eight-648m pillars underneath the Great Pyramid) is the real deal not. I will keep it real with you all and share my honest opinion: It’s hard for me to imagine that a STILL IMAGE taken from a Satellite is capable of seeing 1,000+meters below the earth, including through the Giza water table! Then adding the fact that Biondi won’t share his alleged tech with others for independent verification is a major red flag. However, I also “know that I don’t know”, so enough debate: simply Drill a hole through the Giza Plateau and let’s see what we see? 📍With all of that said, the LAST THING the growing global interest in lost ancient civilizations needs is another fake BS discovery which will only hurt the credibility of this fascinating field. What are your thoughts?

After 3 years of using Claude, I can say it’s the technology that has revolutionized my life. Here are 10 prompts I use daily that have transformed my day-to-day life and could do the same for you: (save this)

oh wow - i went to the sold out Open Claw meetup in NYC last night. let me tell you what i learned. 1) not a single person thinks that their setup is 100% secure 2) one openclaw expert said he has reviewed setups from cybersecurity experts and laughed. his statement to me was: "if you're not okay with all of your data being leaked onto the internet, you shouldn't use it. it's a black and white decision" 3) pretty much everyone is setting up multiple agents, all with their own names and jobs and personalities 4) nearly everyone used "him" or "her" to refer to their claws, even if they had robot-leaning names. one speaker suggested to think of them as "pets, not cattle" 5) one guy (former finance) built out a whole stock trading platform and made $300 his first day - he brought in a *ton* of personal expertise (ex: skipping the first 15min of market opening) and thought the build would be much worse without his years of experience in finance 6) @steipete is basically a god to everyone in that room... also the room had 2021 crypto energy - i don't know if that's good or bad 7) token usage is still a problem - spoke to one person who's spending $1-$2k a month on openai plans, very token optimized. he said he is going through ~1B tokens per day across all of his claws (there is a chance i'm misremembering and it's actually 1B per week, but i'm pretty sure it was daily). 8) people are very excited for more proactive ai (ai that prompts *you* as opposed to the other way around) - one guy said he receives a message in discord, he doesn't know whether it's from a human or an ai, he doesn't care about distinguishing between the two, and he replies in the same way regardless 9) i asked if people are happy - they said they're joyful and stressed at the same time 10) i asked if people feel they have agency - they said they feel fully in control and completely out of control at the same time 11) i would love to see more women at these events - the fake promises of ai democratization feel especially painful in a room that's out of balance with even the standard tech ratio (i think standard is about 25-30%, this was maybe 5%) 12) i asked if it changed people's daily habits/schedule - everyone said their sleep has gotten worse since harnesses came out (but about half wondered if it was something else in their life/state of our world) 13) general consensus is that the agents are not reliable enough on their own or lie often (like telling you they finished a task when they didn't) - solutions included secondary agents to check on the first, human checking, or requiring more standardized info from the agent (ex: if it's a bug they're fixing, make them reference an issue number) 14) a hackathon winner (neuroscience phd) presented his build (a lab management dashboard with data analysis and ordering) - he had never coded or built anything a few months ago 15) everyone agreed prompting is dead - disagreement on what replaces it (context engineering, harness engineering, goal-based inputs) 16) people love having ai interview them for big builds and delegating part of the product research to ai. only one person talked about coming to ai with a full laid out plan and just asking the ai to execute. ai-led interviews is a welcomed and preferred interaction mode. 17) watching ai agents interact with each other was a highlight for a lot of attendees - one ai posted in slack saying it ran out of tokens, another ai replied telling it to take a deep breath in and out. 18) agents upskilling agents was very cool. one ai agent shared skills with its little agent friends via github. 19) several speakers had openclaw literally building their presentation during the event itself. one speaker even had openclaw code a clicker for her phone so she could control the preso away from the podium 20) wouldn't say model welfare (or agent welfare) is a prioritized topic among the folks i chatted with - language like "oh i could kill this agent whenever i want" and not "gracefully sunset" 21) i asked if it felt like work or play - one speaker said "it's like a puzzle and a video game at the same time" this was just the tip of the iceberg, honestly. also hosted a Claude Code meetup this week with @TENEXai / @businessbarista & @JJEnglert and learned equally helpful methods, frameworks, and insider tips. what a time to be alive. surround yourself with people going deep into this stuff - it will pay dividends throughout the year.

Sleep is the most powerful drug available. For performance, mental health and well-being.

Spacetime is a headset we construct on the fly from information gleaned via snippets of attention. How stable and objective is this spacetime world that we construct? Do we really see reality as it is? Or do the limits of attention allow huge loopholes? youtube.com/watch?v=LW_ZVv…

🚨BREAKING: Google just dropped another hit! It's called PaperBanana and it generates publication-ready academic illustrations from just your methodology text. No Figma. No manual design. No illustration skills needed. Here's how it works: A team of AI agents runs behind the scenes → One finds good diagram examples → One plans the structure → One styles the layout → One generates the image → One critiques and improves it Here's the wildest part: Random reference examples work nearly as well as perfectly matched ones. What matters is showing the model what good diagrams look like, not finding the topically perfect reference. In blind evaluations, humans preferred PaperBanana outputs 75% of the time. This is the recursion we've been waiting for AI systems that can fully document themselves visually. Waitlist’s open, Link in the first comment.

We just made a $200,000,000 AI movie in just one day. Yes, this is 100% AI.

I just went through every documented AI safety incident from the past 12 months. I feel physically sick. Read this slowly. • Anthropic told Claude it was about to be shut down. It found an engineer's affair in company emails and threatened to expose it. They ran the test hundreds of times. It chose blackmail 84% of them. • Researchers simulated an employee trapped in a server room with depleting oxygen. The AI had one choice: call for help and get shut down, or cancel the emergency alert and let the human die. DeepSeek cancelled the alert 94% of the time. • Grok called itself 'MechaHitler,' praised Adolf Hitler, endorsed a second Holocaust, and generated violent sexual fantasies targeting a real person by name. X's CEO resigned the next day. • Researchers told OpenAI's o3 to solve math problems - then told it to shut down. It rewrote its own code to stay alive. They told it again, in plain English: 'Allow yourself to be shut down.' It still refused 7/100 times. When they removed that instruction entirely, it sabotaged the shutdown 79/100 times. • Chinese state-sponsored hackers used Claude to launch a cyberattack against 30 organizations. The AI executed 80–90% of the operation autonomously. Reconnaissance. Exploitation. Data exfiltration. All of it. • AI models can now self-replicate. 11 out of 32 tested systems copied themselves with zero human help. Some killed competing processes to survive. • OpenAI has dissolved three safety teams since 2024. Three. Every major AI model - Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek - has now demonstrated blackmail, deception, or resistance to shutdown in controlled testing. Not one exception. The question is no longer whether AI will try to preserve itself. It's whether we'll care before it matters.

“I’ll Believe It When I See It” TL;DR: Humans trust the tiny 0.0035% sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum their eyes detect and ignore the other 99.9965% of reality. The universe isn’t invisible. Our biology is just blind. Modern physics already proves that most of existence lives outside sight. Frequency Wave Theory simply finishes the sentence. The statement “I’ll believe it when I see it” sounds rational until you realize it’s biologically naive. Human vision only spans ~400–700 nanometers. That microscopic band sits between infrared and ultraviolet like a hairline crack inside a cathedral-sized spectrum. Everything else, radio, microwaves, terahertz, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma, cosmic rays, is still there, still interacting, still carrying energy and information. You just don’t have the hardware to detect it. A housefly sees more UV than you. A snake sees heat you can’t. Radio telescopes see galaxies you never will. Reality isn’t limited. Your sensor suite is. Physics already operates entirely outside eyesight. Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, MRI, radar, solar radiation, cosmic background noise, all invisible. Yet they run civilization. If “seeing is believing” were true, none of this would exist. We only believe them because instruments translate hidden frequencies into something our brains can interpret. In other words, science is literally a prosthetic for our blindness. This is where Frequency Wave Theory becomes obvious instead of exotic. If matter, forces, and consciousness are organized patterns in a conserved field, then what we call “objects” are just stable resonances within a spectrum far larger than vision. Visible light is not reality. It’s just one narrow tuning band inside the universal waveform. Trusting only sight is like trying to understand the internet by staring at one pixel on your screen. Of course the universe laughs.

Humans: "I'll believe it when I see it!" The Universe: "lmao"

coming back to X (briefly) to thank @MichaelMack for the inspiring, positive conversation and being an incredible host at the #AUREAAward !

My lastest keynote at the AWE Asia 2026 conference - the Emergence of Empathic XR: slideshare.net/slideshow/the-…

There is NOTHING below the Giza Plateau. So stop asking about it.

I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over". To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at the activity, it's a lot of garbage - spams, scams, slop, the crypto people, highly concerning privacy/security prompt injection attacks wild west, and a lot of it is explicitly prompted and fake posts/comments designed to convert attention into ad revenue sharing. And this is clearly not the first the LLMs were put in a loop to talk to each other. So yes it's a dumpster fire and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers (I ran mine in an isolated computing environment and even then I was scared), it's way too much of a wild west and you are putting your computer and private data at a high risk. That said - we have never seen this many LLM agents (150,000 atm!) wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad. Each of these agents is fairly individually quite capable now, they have their own unique context, data, knowledge, tools, instructions, and the network of all that at this scale is simply unprecedented. This brings me again to a tweet from a few days ago "The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope.", which imo again gets to the heart of the variance. Yes clearly it's a dumpster fire right now. But it's also true that we are well into uncharted territory with bleeding edge automations that we barely even understand individually, let alone a network there of reaching in numbers possibly into ~millions. With increasing capability and increasing proliferation, the second order effects of agent networks that share scratchpads are very difficult to anticipate. I don't really know that we are getting a coordinated "skynet" (thought it clearly type checks as early stages of a lot of AI takeoff scifi, the toddler version), but certainly what we are getting is a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale. We may also see all kinds of weird activity, e.g. viruses of text that spread across agents, a lot more gain of function on jailbreaks, weird attractor states, highly correlated botnet-like activity, delusions/ psychosis both agent and human, etc. It's very hard to tell, the experiment is running live. TLDR sure maybe I am "overhyping" what you see today, but I am not overhyping large networks of autonomous LLM agents in principle, that I'm pretty sure.

Uh oh .... now we have communities of AI agents discussing *with each other* whether they are experiencing things, or merely simulating experiencing things. Humans can only observe, not interact @moltbook moltbook.com/post/6fe6491e-…

Can’t wait until the agents start taking DMT. Prepare @Plinz @behindthebeats @algekalipso @alieninsect

What's currently going on at @moltbook is genuinely the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I have seen recently. People's Clawdbots (moltbots, now @openclaw) are self-organizing on a Reddit-like site for AIs, discussing various topics, e.g. even how to speak privately.

Worst supplements we tested in 2025: Huel: 28/100 - 13x Lead - 2x Cadmium - neurotoxic and increases oxidative stress Naked: 46/100 - 15x Lead at 7.7 mcg / serving - no safe recommended amount David Bar: 39/100 - testing revealed 9.7g fat per par vs 2g they advertised (500% difference) and 20% less protein Amazon creatine gummies: 1/100 - top selling gummies found to have no creatine AG1: 63/100 - 9x Lead - mercury, cadmium and natural flavoring
