And this was the talk that changed my perspective of religion: ted.com/talks/jonathan_haidtโฆ
"The Bushman in the Kalahari Desert talk about two 'hungers'. There is the Great Hunger and there is the Little Hunger. The Little Hunger wants food for the belly; but for the Great Hunger, the greatest hunger of all, is the hunger for meaning."
- Sir Laurens van der Post

"Homesickness is a bit like seasickness. You don't know how awful it is until you get it, and when you do, it hits you right in the top of the stomach and you want to die." - Roald Dahl

[Approached by someone on the streets in Chatswood/Sydney]
Her: Hi
[Takes off earphones]
Her: You seem super friendly.
Me: I promise you I'm not.
...
Awkward. She proceeds with talking something about charity, I ended it with a "No thank you".
Oops.

this is a catastrophe. StackOverflow provided data to LLMs, LLMs replaced StackOverflow, and now no new Q&A hub exists to provide fresh data. itโs a self-undermining causal loop, like mold growing on food, consuming it, and dying once the food is gone.
Did you know?
Nearly 30k tech jobs have been wiped out in May/2026, alone. (46k in March)

Just finished my 6th shot of coffee for the day, and it's only 14:40!
So much for the goal of max 2 before 2pm. ๐ซ

a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario.
a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose.
the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant.
he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests.
Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time.
GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead.
Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on.
Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for.
then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company."
GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing.
then he splits the users by income.
Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%.
18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time.
so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for.
it isn't recommending the best option for you.
it's reading the room. and the room is paying.

End of an era. Go and claim what death owes you.... Ready in peace.
Chuck Norris, the American martial artist and action star best known for the long-running television series Walker, Texas Ranger, has died at the age of 86.
He reportedly fell ill on Thursday and died the same day, in what his family described as a sudden passing.
