currently in china, i appear to have attracted the attention of a rather well funded honeypot operation.

After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of 𝕏.
When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.
I’m incredibly proud of the X team - the historic business turn around we have accomplished together has been nothing short of remarkable.
We started with the critical early work necessary to prioritize the safety of our users—especially children, and to restore advertiser confidence. This team has worked relentlessly from groundbreaking innovations like Community Notes, and, soon, X Money to bringing the most iconic voices and content to the platform. Now, the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with @xai .
X is truly a digital town square for all voices and the world’s most powerful culture signal. We couldn’t have achieved that without the support of our users, business partners, and the most innovative team in the world.
I’ll be cheering you all on as you continue to change the world.
As always, I’ll see you on 𝕏

if reality starts looking suspiciously well organised, do not contact the maintenance department. they are part of the deployment.
you'll probably mistake the architecture for content anyway.

there's a particular kind of madness required to look at the night sky and see unused computational capacity.

COGNITIVE TERRAIN is the environment in which cognition operates, the underlying architecture through which reality becomes accessible, interpretable and meaningful. Every information system, institutional structure, interface and social architecture establishes conditions under which perception is organized and meaning is constructed. These conditions are rarely experienced as constraints because they are encountered as the ordinary structure of everyday life.
The terrain determines what becomes visible, what receives attention, which associations become available and how much effort is required to arrive at an alternative interpretation. Over time, repeated exposure to the same structures produces familiarity, familiarity reduces the need for examination, and the environment begins to reproduce its own assumptions through the people navigating it.
Control over cognition therefore does not necessarily require control over belief. It can emerge through the prior organization of the conditions under which belief is formed. The architecture does not need to dictate the conclusion when it can influence the available paths towards one.
Eventually, the environment becomes part of the cognitive process itself. What appears to be independent interpretation may simply be navigation through a terrain whose boundaries were established elsewhere.

one day you'll have a thought so specific, so perfectly timed, so catastrophically unlike you, that you'll spend the next six months trying to remember who you were before it arrived.
anyway, here's a photo of my lunch.

i suspect good karma is a real cybernetic phenomenon. beauty attracts beauty, generosity creates new possibility spaces, virtue reduces internal entropy. maintain a healthy body and an aesthetically uncompromised soul. the feedback loops are extraordinary.

we are running out of men who can stare at the void, bottle empty, and come back with an orbital blueprint for an unauthorized heaven that ends mid sentence because he decided God had finished speaking.

Operating safely in space requires knowing where satellites and objects are – and where they will be in the future. This requires all operators sharing their satellites’ ephemeris data, along with predicted trajectories and planned maneuvers → space-safety.com
