Everything truly interesting you can learn from happens at the edge. If you forgot that, let me help you remember. Τὸ Φάσγανον

How big are your dreams?

@Nate_Esparza Whoever that dude is… he looks like he should ask gork instead.

Me asking grok another question

@itsme_urstruly Mayo and/or vinegar on fries.

Tell me something that's “normal” in your country but it would confuse the rest of the world.

@tenobrus meanwhile…

the hard problem of talking about the hard problem

arguing about consciousness online tends to actually be way less fun for me than most subjects. something about it seems to bring out feelings of desperate importance and incommunicability in myself and clearly in the people i argue with too. i wonder why it's so sensitive!

@dioscuri @danfaggella Someone has to say it. May as well be me.😏

Debates in consciousness science run unusually hot precisely because we lack shared frameworks and decisive data. Theories proliferate unchecked, like invasive species without natural predators.

When you read too many rants on X about data center water use and you’re like – wait but— 😩 “Nvm. Grok can you make an image of an AI Gymnásion and add greenhouses that utilize the waste heat plus a golf course water reclamation system?”

“Don’t take away my friend.” ~Elon Musk Two months ago today… Access to asset still denied.

@tenobrus Makes sense now. Didn’t realize websites were still a thing in 2025.

@Allete33 ...no i was 10 when i last read cracked

just found out i made it to #24 of CRACKED dot com's "33 of the Funniest Tweets from Tuesday, September 30, 2025". truly my 10 year old self would be so proud .

How to train your AI: “I’m not sure” is a cliffhanger – not a failure.

@Lilblack_heart Brilliant. Throw the black heart in the backseat too. Taking it for a spin.

@Allete33 Why not 😆

And for the funny girl, an iced coffee, a trip to the bookstore, and pet dragon.

@tenobrus Yeah, most days on X I feel like I walked into the wrong room at the party and I’m like- “Can you please just point me to the room where we all pet adorable critters and share really cool fun ideas?”

nah i can't do this i can't do any more arguing or insanely negative news discourse on twitter i need a break . anyway here's my cat her name is violet!

Ravens don’t fly through still air. They fly through turbulence. Chaotic, shifting, unpredictable flow. And here’s the part most people miss They don’t fight it. They use it. They tilt into gusts. Ride vortices. Let disorder generate lift. What looks like control is actually something rarer the willingness to be constantly wrong and constantly adjusting. They’re not calculating perfect paths. They’re staying recoverable. Even their “play” isn’t random. Sliding down roofs. Flipping mid-air. Dropping objects. They’re not avoiding failure. They’re seeking the edge of it deliberately. Because you can’t learn where the boundary is without touching it. And they have to get this right. They don’t have excess energy. They don’t get to brute force solutions. Every movement has to work with the environment, not against it. So they evolve something better not perfect control… but recoverable control. You see the same thing in a surgeon mid-operation. A musician improvising. A real conversation that doesn’t collapse under tension. Nothing is static. Everything is adjusting. The ones who hold together aren’t the ones avoiding turbulence. They’re the ones who can stay coherent inside it. Ravens figured that out physically. We keep trying to eliminate the turbulence. Better systems. Better plans. Better control. But the turbulence isn’t the problem. The inability to stay coherent inside it is.

Sometimes I think I might be the last remaining human on X who still replies to replies simply because NOT replying to replies feels peak rude and talking to strangers is kinda fun.

@mark_k I really hope the next interesting AI is named is Karen and it only speaks fluent middle manager rant. (But don’t release, just leak the entire codebase.)

It has been a while since the last interesting AI release. Hope we're eating good this week. 🤞
