Questionable questioner. Thinking out loud on the good life, tech, and whatever captures my interest. Hacking on insurtech and AI. Views mine. Persuadable.

"Excellence is beautiful from a distance, and brutal up close." - unknown
Probably one of the best ways to describe the madness & obsession it takes to be truly excellent at anything.
When you know, you know.

Flock wants to track every American's every move across the nation 24/7, but they are trying to take down a map that tracks over 300,000 of their cameras and accompanying gadgets.
You can't make this stuff up!

For online propagandists, controlling the frame is more important than facts.
Imagine shopping for paint, and the salesman structures the conversation so you only talk about shades of red. Blue, green, and yellow are all right there, but you never discuss them. You only debate which shade of red is correct.
You can bring evidence, win every factual point, and prove that it’s burgundy rather than crimson. But he still controls the conversation by deciding what counts as relevant.
The real move was never winning the argument about red. It was getting you to accept that red was the argument, while the other colors disappeared from discussion.
And because you were free to debate every shade of red, it felt like an open debate even though the boundaries had already been set for you.
That’s frame control.
You have to understand: “the other side” is not arguing in good faith. They are using the conversation operationally to impose their frame, redirect you, force you onto the defensive, manufacture concessions, and shape your perception.
You are presenting evidence. They are managing you.
That is the asymmetry. Your “correct argument” cannot defeat a person or tactic whose purpose is not to answer you, but to manipulate you.

AGI is here and going to kill us all but my calendar bot, who literally only has one job, can't even schedule a meeting correctly 🤔

Is this “the plan”?
(1) Frontier labs sell cheap tokens so enterprises feed them proprietary data and business methods.
(2) Once the models carry unbounded legal and safety risk, the same labs push for regulation or nationalization so the government absorbs the liability they created.

This wetware stuff is pretty crazy:
“ Each unit uses lab-grown human neurons (commonly reported around 800,000 per unit) on a microelectrode chip, kept alive with nutrients and gas support.”

Singapore? Are you good?
“It is powered by 800,000 lab-grown human brain cells”
They literally turned the human brain into a data center 💀

Bailout + political control
When companies go public they must file paperwork disclosing their financials.
Doing so would expose the massive cash burn OpenAI is using. Therefore, Sam Altman can't go public but he also has run out of money.
Enter "whistle blower" Jacob Coxon.
It made no sense how an obscure nobody got 165 million views on his first X post saying AI could kill us all. Then he was on every news station within 48 hours, scaring the public.
This was a psyop to "regulate" the AI companies... aka give them government funding to "protect the public from the dangers of AI."

This is one of the biggest barriers to adoption for consumer agents.
Most everyday people look at a blank text box and have no idea what they can even ask AI to do. Agents should be proactively suggesting tasks based on your context.
So well articulated from @gdb 👇
