This one was fun – back in 2015 I used NOAA data to visualize Earth's wind flow – at the macroscale it looks almost like an ocean, you can see wind 'waves' crashing against continents This was for the website of Attenboroughs Reef which is still online 11 years later attenboroughsreef.com

Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson says we can't have "double standards" with the international rule of law. She compares the criticism of Putin invading Ukraine with the U.S. and Israel's strike on Iran, which she says very few countries have spoken explicitly about it.

A student asked an MIT professor to explain Game Theory without jargon. He drew two stick figures on the board. That was the entire lecture. "These two people are you and everyone you've ever negotiated with," he said. "Every decision one makes changes the best decision for the other. That's the whole thing. That's all of Game Theory." The student laughed. The professor didn't. "You think I'm simplifying. I'm not. Every war in history. Every corporate merger. Every raise you didn't get. Every co-founder relationship that exploded. All of it traces back to two stick figures making decisions that affect each other." Then he said the thing nobody writes down. "The reason most people lose negotiations isn't that they're less intelligent. It's that they're optimizing for the wrong outcome. They want to win the moment. The other person is playing for something else entirely." He paused. "Figure out what they're actually optimizing for and you will never lose a negotiation again." I've used that single framework in every business conversation since. The textbook version of Game Theory takes a semester. That professor taught the only part that matters in 4 minutes. Some MIT lectures should cost $100,000. That one was free.

I prosecuted the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, and then Donald Trump himself. One week after he took office again, he fired me. Now I’m running for Congress to defend our democracy and restore the rule of law.

Large language models don't think. They don't reason. And they can't produce endless new information. This is clearly explained by George D. Montañez in a recent talk at Baylor University, and it's worth understanding why. Three key points stood out to me: LLMs don't ponder, they process. They're next-token predictors, sophisticated ones, but they have no understanding of what they're producing. They know two vectors are similar; they don't know what either vector means. LLMs don't reason, they rationalise. Studies show their outputs shift based on irrelevant prompt wording, embedded hints, and statistical shortcuts. The "chain of thought" they show you often has nothing to do with how they actually arrived at the answer. They don't create endless information. Training AI on AI output causes rapid degradation and model collapse. Information theory tells us you can't get more out than you put in, regardless of the architecture. None of this means these tools aren't useful. But it does mean we should stop anthropomorphising them and start being honest about what they actually are. The hype is real. So are the limits.
