I don't know this artist but this image is a great example of how to tell when something is or isn't AI generated, because finger weirdness will not always be around. What jumps out in this image that makes it feel (because it is) human made? cont...

Expect to see more of this



Spicy take


THE REAL ORIGIN OF EASTER Easter was stolen. Let me explain. Thousands of years before Jesus, the Egyptian god Osiris was murdered, resurrected, and proclaimed to have risen in the East. He is the original reincarnated god. The template was set long before Christianity adopted it. The word Easter itself is the giveaway. The ancients understood that the East means birth and the West means death. The rising and setting sun made this clear. EASTer literally means rebirth. This was never hidden. It was simply no longer taught. The Easter Bunny? That’s Unut, an Egyptian goddess of rebirth depicted with a rabbit head. She assisted in the resurrection of Osiris. The bunny didn’t come from a chocolate factory. It came from the Nile. The Easter egg? The Egyptians believed creation itself began with a cosmic egg. Eggs symbolised resurrection so powerfully that they were buried with the dead as offerings for the afterlife. Thousands of years later, you are hiding them in your garden and nobody is asking why. Lent lasts 40 days. Osiris was dismembered into 14 pieces scattered across Egypt, and Isis spent 40 days searching and reassembling him before the resurrection. The number 40 was sacred in Egyptian ritual long before it became Christian fasting. And the timing? Easter falls on the first Sunday after the spring equinox. The exact moment day length overtakes night for the first time since winter. To the Egyptians, this was the sun’s reincarnation. Its eternal victory over darkness, playing out in the sky for all to witness. Christianity did not invent the timing. It inherited it. Here is the summary they do not teach in Sunday school: 🥚 Osiris, resurrected god, predates Jesus by millennia 🥚 Unut, rabbit headed goddess of rebirth, present at the resurrection 🥚 Cosmic egg, Egyptian creation symbol, now made of chocolate 🥚 East, the direction of rebirth, now the name of the holiday 🥚 40 days, Isis searching for Osiris, now called Lent 🥚 Sunday, the Sun’s day, chosen for solar deity resurrection 🥚 Spring equinox, the day light defeated darkness, now Easter weekend The myths did not disappear. They were rebranded. Blissings to Unut. Happy Easter.

🦔OpenAI CEO Sam Altman published a 13-page policy blueprint today proposing a new social contract for the AI era. The proposals include a public wealth fund giving every American a stake in AI-driven growth, taxes on automated labor, a four-day workweek pilot, and automatic safety net triggers that kick in when AI displacement hits preset thresholds. Altman told Axios superintelligence is close enough that capitalism as currently structured won't be adequate to handle what's coming. My Take I've spent months covering what this transition actually looks like for regular people. Oracle sending 30,000 termination emails at 6am. Microsoft freezing hiring in its core business. New graduates unable to find entry level jobs. Private credit cracking under software company debt. Companies using AI as cover to cut the people who built their products. Now the CEO of the company driving a lot of this is publishing a policy paper saying the disruption is so serious it needs a New Deal scale response. He is not wrong about the scale. But OpenAI closed a $122 billion funding round just last week at an $852 billion valuation while losing billions annually. He is racing to build the thing, raising record amounts to do it faster, and asking government to protect the people his technology is displacing. The proposals themselves deserve serious debate because the alternative is nobody in power discussing this at all. But the people writing the blueprint are not the people losing the jobs, and that distance is important when you're deciding how much weight to give the solutions being proposed. Hedgie🤗

I do think it's over for devs. But over in the sense that like it was once fun and now that is over because the people entering the field dont want fun they want productive. And productive is reductive and inherently boring.

Books are below me.

The biggest threat to Christianity isn't atheism. It's fake Christianity. A gospel with no repentance. A faith with no obedience. A church with no truth.

DO NOT POST IN REAL TIME - Tag the restaurant when you leave. Not while you're eating. - The photo goes up after the flight. Not from the seat. - Show the hotel once you've already left. Not while you're sleeping there. - Not everything has to be live. Not everything needs an audience. - The internet doesn't need to know where you are, who you're with, or what you're doing in real time. - Protect your energy and what's still taking shape. - Live first, post later. The moment is yours, only
