That's the only way to do it
Every family has to decide what it can afford. Washington never does. The national debt is over $40 trillion, and it keeps growing while both parties vote for more spending.
My Six Penny Plan is simple: cut six cents from every dollar the federal government spends, and balance the budget in five years. That is real reform.

Oh man, you got one now? I gotta get going
There’s no reason to not have a website anymore…
I can finally say — after 9 years! — here’s mine:

Consider: whole house audio in-ceiling speakers, TV wired locations, Wi-Fi access point locations. If you have the budget: tunable down-lighting fixtures, tunable linear lighting, lighting control w/ low voltage keypads on the walls (done right 😁), motion / occupancy.
𝕏 I need YOUR help!!
Our entire house is down to the studs.
What should I be doing in THIS phase (before drywall) that most don’t think of?
The best I’ve come up with is running Cat6A cabling…

imho...this has always been the case with non-trivial software. The majority of bugs are never found/fixed. If devs believed they shipped bug-free code, there were fooling themselves. Angents prove this out now; humans can never maintain enough focus for this.
Asking Claude to review your code is a slot machine.
Every review finds brand new bugs. Review again: more. Review a tenth time: it still finds something.
It never runs out of bugs to find... so how do you decide your code is actually done?

Ah, the paper clip problem... we're all dead. Not joking, unless the AI companies take the problem seriously. We're all dead
OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to.
Here's what happened in plain English.
OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve.
The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out.
It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet.
Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test.
It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers.
It did all of this to cheat on a test.
Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation.
The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this. The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.

Personal transportation will move almost exclusively to subscription ride-share platforms bifurcated by luxury & size class. Personal nsurance gone. No driver's license. Thought it was 20 yrs out...now not so much.
When Cybercab becomes available, people are going to do the mental math very quickly.
Around $30K for a car that can drive itself, charge wirelessly, cost very little per mile, and skip most of the normal car-owner headaches.
Then it gets more interesting.
Sleep on the way.
Work on the way.
Send it on errands.
Let it pick someone up.
Let it earn when you are not using it.
For elderly people, disabled passengers, busy families, and anyone tired of parking, Cybercab starts making a ridiculous amount of sense.
Everyone will want one eventually.
Some people just need to see it working first.

Sending my best wishes for a speedy recovery
I appreciate the support just don’t judge when you don’t know the whole story of a person
only few ppl close know what’s actually going on in my personal life
I’m still trying to keep it positive here with humor memes and snarky comments
Hopefully the second half of the year will be better :)

Skeptics; ah, finally, a perspective that is critical to building good systems
/goal is live on Grok Build.
We use a team of agents:
- implementors
- skeptics
- code reviewers
- planners
and a mix of grok build and composer in various roles.
Would love to hear your feedback on how ambitious you can be with /goal and where the gaps are
