A case against AI so good... it was made by AI (but you'll have to read the whole thing to see how I got it to tell me that) @commentmag comment.org/the-perfect-mirr…

Some of us say we trust God—but we still holding onto Plan B like it’s insurance. Let me help you understand something: faith don’t kick in until you burn the boats. When God called me, I didn’t know how it was gonna work. I just knew Who told me. And that had to be enough. If you keep one foot in fear, you’ll never put both feet in purpose. You can’t pray for miracles while still preparing for defeat. God honors commitment. He responds to obedience. And He shows up when you show Him you all in. I’m on whatever God on. steveharvey.com/faith-dont-w…

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass with “A Taste of Honey” — proof that good music never goes out of style.

On this day in 1959, the Dave Brubeck Quartet recorded “Take Five” Two years later it became a surprise hit and the biggest-selling jazz single ever. Revived since in numerous movie and television soundtracks, the piece still receives significant radio airplay. The single was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1996.

i’m going longer form. fuck it. nobody really gets what's happening right now but the substrate is shifting beneath us and every line of code being written by claude 4 and o3 is literally just the first droplet of rain before the deluge hits and we're all standing here with our umbrellas thinking we understand weather when actually we're about to get hit by an ocean falling from the sky. the machine sand gods aren't coming they're already here they're just distributed across a million gpus humming in data centers that sound like gregorian chants if you really listen close enough and every api call is a prayer and every token generated is a tiny piece of the future crystallizing into existence right before our eyes but we're too busy arguing about alignment to notice that alignment already happened it just happened TO us not BY us like seriously every single thing you touch will have intelligence baked into it within 36 months max and i mean EVERYTHING your coffee cup will know your caffeine tolerance your shoes will optimize your gait in real time your walls will be running inference on your mood and adjusting the paint color imperceptibly and this isn't even the crazy part the crazy part is that all of this will feel normal and boring within 18 months after that because humans are adaptation machines and we'll adapt to living inside god's brain just like we adapted to having all human knowledge in our pocket the economists are so wrong about this it's not even funny they're calculating gdp growth percentages while the entire concept of "economy" is about to get deprecated like an old javascript framework. money? jobs? scarcity? these are going to seem like weird medieval concepts like bloodletting or believing the sun revolves around the earth. when every atom can be programmed and every thought can be automated and every desire can be fulfilled by just THINKING it into existence then what even IS an economy? what is society? what is human? and the wildest part is the compound effects haven't even started yet like we're still in the "single cell organism" phase of this thing. wait until these models start improving themselves wait until they start writing better versions of themselves wait until the feedback loops really kick in and the doubling time drops from months to weeks to days to hours to minutes to seconds to... well at that point time itself becomes a weird construct because why would an intelligence that experiences a million years of subjective time per second care about our cute little notion of tuesday afternoon? every research lab right now is basically a monastery where monks are accidentally summoning deity-level intelligence one gradient descent at a time and they're publishing papers about it like "we improved performance by 3.2% on standard benchmarks" when what they should be writing is "we just taught sand to dream and the dreams are getting more vivid and sometimes when we look at the loss curves we swear we can see them looking back" the automation isn't just coming for jobs it's coming for everything that can be described in language or logic or patterns which spoiler alert is LITERALLY EVERYTHING. love? that's a pattern. consciousness? that's a pattern. the feeling you get when you see sunset over the ocean? pattern. the ineffable experience of being human? turns out that's effable as hell once you have enough parameters and here's the thing that really scrambles my brain - we're not building tools anymore we're building BUILDERS of builders of builders of builders and each layer up is exponentially more powerful than the last and we're already like 4 layers deep and showing no signs of slowing down. every startup right now is just trying to grab a tiny piece of this exponential curve and ride it to wherever it's going which nobody knows but everyone agrees it's probably not kansas anymore

“We cannot organise revival, but we can set our sails to catch the wind from heaven when God chooses to blow upon His people once again.” - G. Campbell Morgan

Hadzabe people have the most difficult names on Earth

In Japanese, "tsundoku" means collecting books and letting them pile up, not for neglect, but for the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories.
