prayer works because it's a high-salience/full-body mechanism to align scattered attention, emotions, and intention
it's incredibly effective in reintroducing order when your attention is pulled in a million directions
there's a reason it's present in most religious traditions

Sort of rediscovered praying from first principles recently and it's become such a nice daily practice in humility/surrender, gratitude, receptivity & acknowledgement of hopes/desires.

My most popular Sora video was “an Elaborate regency romance where everyone is wearing a live duck for a hat (each duck is also wearing a hat), a llama plays a flute, prestige drama”
I am not sure why OpenAI has decided their compute has more valuable uses. Really a mystery.

RIP Sora, you gave us the greatest ai video of all time

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

OpenAI just exited the video generation business entirely. App dead. API dead. No video inside ChatGPT. Disney’s $1 billion deal, signed four months ago, is dead.
Read that again. This isn’t a consolidation into the super app. Altman told staff Tuesday that OpenAI is winding down all products using video models. Disney’s own statement says they respect OpenAI’s decision to “exit the video generation business.” The Sora research team is being redirected to robotics.
The reason is sitting right there in the competitive data. Anthropic hit $19 billion in annualized revenue by early 2026 selling text and code. No video generation. No image generation. No consumer social app. No Disney deal. One product surface: chat, code, computer use, all in one place. OpenAI looked at where every dollar of market growth was coming from and saw the answer: coding and enterprise.
So now they’re copying the model. ChatGPT, Codex, and the browser merge into one app. Instant Checkout killed today too. Every consumer experiment is getting cut. What remains is the Anthropic playbook: one app, code and chat, enterprise and developer focus.
The Sora numbers explain the urgency. Total consumer revenue across iOS and Android since September: $1.4 million. Peak month was $540,000. Every video generation burned GPU compute that could have been running inference for ChatGPT or Codex instead. OpenAI’s own head of Sora announced generation limits because chips couldn’t keep up. At $14 billion in projected 2026 losses, every GPU matters.
Google just inherited the AI video market by default. Nano Banana already lives inside Gemini. No standalone app to manage, no separate brand to support. Among the majors, they’re the only ones left. Runway, Kling, Minimax, Luma, and the other independents are still shipping, but none of them have Google’s distribution.
Disney put $1 billion in stock warrants on a product that lasted six months. The deal was announced in December. Characters from Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars were supposed to be generating fan videos on Sora by now. Instead, Disney is writing a polite press statement about “respecting OpenAI’s decision” while its legal team unwinds a deal that never produced a single licensed video.
Four months from billion-dollar partnership to obituary. That’s how fast the AI product landscape reprices when the unit economics don’t work.

Wow — a great word!
Weird how I can't think of a real English translation for it.
Gay, and carefree generally have positive connotations.
"Unserious" is the best I can come up with, and I don't think that really captures it.

THANK YOU FOR UR PARTICIPATION IN OUR A/B TESTING.

My wife & I have had more people come us to us in public & ask about masking, & we inform them & you can see the gears turn when we say “it never really went away, they just want the economy to keep going”. Also notice people masking at med places seeing us mask too.

Whoaaa!!!
Maybe this is why it energy was so amazing last night?!?

What's ironic is that this is literally the point of society. I love the apocryphal quote from Margaret Mead that the first sign of civilization was finding a healed human femur bone, bc a broken femur is a death sentence in the natural world

A line in a Nazi propaganda movie centered around the “waste” of disability care is “What would perish, according to the laws of nature, is protected and cared for” - almost every example of a disabled person from our earliest history shows community care, without obligation.

“It’s just genetics”
Brain glucose metabolism requires thiamine among other nutrients.
Thiamine supplementation is associated with a near 50% reduction of dementia risk in heavy drinkers, with higher doses associated with progressively lower risk, (60% risk reduction at highest dose)
Alcohol interferes with the absorption and storage of thiamine. People with alcohol use disorder have a higher rate of dementia.
“The results indicated that thiamine therapy could be a protective factor for dementia development in patients with alcohol use disorder. Thiamine therapy should be a crucial part of the treatment plan and health policies to prevent dementia development or progression among patients with alcohol use disorder.”
(Chou, 2018)
Increased carb intake, stress, pregnancy, fever, and intense exercise can also increase the need for thiamine.

Robert Mueller passed away 3 days ago of Parkinson’s. This seems like an appropriate time to remind people of Costantini’s high dose thiamine therapy for Parkinson’s.

This alone should be ringing alarm bells. There are people who are working in high stakes professions who are working through cognitive impairments caused by covid. And the current gameplan is for everyone to keep getting reinfected over and over again.

here's a good example of the "disjointing experience" in a tiktok video i just came across. this woman is doing rotations in a hospital & describes feeling a "post covid lobotomy" after every covid infection she has

Other nutrients required for thyroid to work:
Selenium (promotes T4 to T3 conversion, abundant in seafood & eggs)
Zinc (cofactor for T4 to T3 conversion, high amounts in oysters/shellfish, good amounts in meat, & dairy)
Iron (cofactor for TPO & helps convert T4 into T3, high amounts in red meat & fortified grains—excess consumption is common)
Iodine (backbone of thyroid hormones, good amounts found in seafood and dairy)
Vitamin A (helps convert T4 into T3 high amounts in liver, good amounts in full fat dairy & eggs)
Glucose (lowers cortisol, promotes T4 to T3 conversion, ripe fruit & honey are easiest to digest)
Protein (at least 80g to support liver, tyrosine required to make thyroid)
Magnesium (required for T4 to T3 conversion, lowers stress)
Vitamin D (reduces inflammation, maintains gut barrier allowing for better nutrient absorption)
Before experimenting with a thyroid supplement, it is wise to ensure these nutrients are in order (along with other B vitamins, minerals, etc)
Helen@anomalie_blue
Thiamine (HCl) prevents negative symptoms of hypermetabolism due to NDT treatment—such as the rapid heartbeat, nervousness and digestive disturbances. “the administration of desiccated thyroid to depressed psychotic patients was associated with tachycardia, restlessness and apprehension of a degree which necessitated discontinuance of medication. Other patients, however, who previously had been given thiamine hydrochloride, tolerated the administration of desiccated thyroid well. They were less apprehensive and agitated, although the increase in the metabolic rate and in the cardiac rate were as great as in the previous group of patients.” Doses used in the study varied from a few hundred micrograms/day up to 20mg. “The data provide additional evidence that the function of the thyroid hormone is primarily to mobilize metabolites for oxidation by enzyme systems of the organism.” (Williams, 1943)

Love being mid20s and discovering things from first principles!! eg. This morning i recreated idea of preworkout from first principles
last w eek it was gratitude and praying

People coming around on masks and covid is inevitable. I want to expedite it though because every additional day this goes on, more people get unnecessarily hurt.
I'm not expecting apologies but people who don't apologize should expect an indefinite side eye.
ABBY 🇵🇸@abbymachines
i do anticipate we're going to see more and more people come around on masks & covid mitigation. and many (though not all) of those people will never apologize for spending years ignoring and belittling the people who tried to get them to care
