Ok so the quoted post obviously sounds outrageous but I want to say a few things: - the UAP stuff is no longer a conspiracy theory - there’s serious disclosure stuff coming from the US gov, NYT, Atlantic, etc - there’s a vast number of reports of people coming into contact with aliens themselves. Also reports of ongoing contact between govs and aliens - it’s very common for some of these alien species to be described as having humanoid bodies. Bipedal, 2 arms, etc Given the current disclosure efforts and what I’ve seen over the years, I believe that people actually have interacted with humanoid looking aliens (for some ancient proof - look at the aboriginal Australian paintings of the ‘Wandjinas’) Ok so why am I saying all this? Because them being humanoid is super, super weird. the chances should be vanishingly small. Unless there’s something like carcinisation going on with space-faring intelligent life - this just shouldnt be the case. So if they’re real, I think they have some relation to us - whatever the hell that actually looks like, who knows. I don’t think you get humanoid entities like this any other way Also fun fact - the former director space programs for Israel’s ministry of defence “claimed that world governments—specifically the United States and Israel—have been in secret contact with extraterrestrials for years. He alleged that these aliens belong to a "Galactic Federation" and have a joint underground base on Mars with American astronauts” Imagine if that were true! I’m hoping it is

Most hyper non-linear minded outliers are not only exceptional at pattern recognition, they are also highly sensitive which amplifies their perceptual acuity. They are able to simultaneously track and synthesise subtle patterns across multiple timelines, layers, and domains, weaving them together to discern loopholes, hidden opportunities, and the most efficient path forward because they intuit systems not according to how they are bureaucratically presented, but through the unspoken undercurrents beneath them, the real labyrinthine architecture.

Pattern recognition is the highest form of intelligence.

@rorysutherland Exact same thing as healthy food options in a food court. Of course people say they’d eat their food, but that’s their aspirational selves speaking

Interestingly, almost every consulting firm presentation I attended for ten years stated that "80% of consumers [say they] will pay more for sustainable products". I used to sit at the back as a lonely marketer thinking "that's bollocks". But the consulting firms made money implementing all this woke shit, so it paid them to continue reciting this dumb litany.

@rorysutherland Ibstock brick launched a carbon neutral brick factory, they felt they would be able to demand a 20% premium on the products. Guess what the customer didn’t agree and they had to drop the prices to the standard rates

Stepping away from the dopamine chat box and recording a long, rambling, yet intentional voice memo covering everything you want to accomplish in whatever project you’re working on. Then transcribing that and using it as input to the model, where you then ask the model to ask you questions exhaustively until it knows exactly what to do in order to accomplish your goal

Current setup for this is either chatting with my Hermes cloud agent via telegram or to Claude code on my pc via the happy app. Requires the computer to be on though Can’t stress enough how worth it it is

I’ve been doing something similar as a way to kick off my day. the pipeline is audio dump to an agent connected to my workspace, who then after some options back and forth does things like: - creates tasks attached to projects, some with instructions for a different agent to kick off if needed (this can even be done for an entire project mapped out need to end!) - drafts emails, invites, whatever you want - creates presentations, PDFs, videos - all on brand The list is effectively as long as whatever a coding agent can do Best thing about it is you can do all of it while out for a walk

I have never known anyone to reject a pay rise because it put them in a higher income tax bracket. It would be illogical to do so

Introducing Roughdraft! A new open source project designed to make collaboration with agents better. The idea is to bring commenting and suggested changes to markdown (e.g. plan docs) in a nice interface. Free, local, etc. 👉 roughdraft.md 👈

It’s remarkable and concerning how out of touch so many ‘progressive’ leaders are these days. I’m certain they don’t realise that the rise of One Nation is largely their fault, as they’ve utterly failed to engage with the concerns of huge swathes of the population, which *includes* more progressives than they realise

It’s good to see the GetUp director trying to analyse why their $600,000 effort in the Farrer by-election was such a failure. But what GetUp doesn’t get is that, for many people in places like Farrer (and many others), they are part of “the problem”. The Farrer people who voted ON see GetUp as part of a different culture that not only regards itself as superior to theirs but has much greater power and influence and they resent having the prescriptions of this lefty, inner-city, uni-educated bunch thrust upon them. Getup waltzing into Farrer with $600,000 in their pocket announcing they were going to tell these yokels how to vote was almost designed to ensure a One Nation victory.

@socoloffalex @robably__ lol that would be true if Google knew how to actually let people pay for their products - still a nightmare for things like Google one

@robably__ Yep, all this bull crap about “AI will give you possibility to run a company, or build and launch what ever you like” just a bullshit. Built it and test it for us so we can take away from you what works and makes money.

this has been a fun one. every piece of data you save to readwise/reader (highlights, full articles, PDFs, tweets, etc) is now embedded and indexed for full-text + vector hybrid search.. instantly ready probably the easiest way to start saving external context for any AI
Readwise@readwise

The new Readwise MCP server is now out of beta. Search across every word in your library. Triage your inbox. Organize your data. Anything you can do in Readwise, your AI can now do for you. Connect from ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Perplexity, Poke, or any other AI app.

@s8mb I wonder how much progress we lose out on because of good ideas not being pursued because they appear to be inequitable at first glance

Nice explanation of why building market-rate homes is good for people who can't afford the specific homes being built. I would add that affordable housing mandates, as taxes on new building, tend to reduce the overall amount of homes that get built, defeating their own aims.
Sam Dumitriu@Sam_Dumitriu

Southwark’s Planning Chair opposed a 860+ home development because locals couldn’t afford the new homes. It’s a common misconception. So I’ve decided to explain the evidence showing how luxury flats can make housing more affordable on the Old Kent Road.
