Where you stand, dig deep and pry! Down there is the well. Let the obscurantists cry: “Down there’s only — hell!”

This past week was special.
A few months ago, I worked at a company where AI enablement was still in its infancy. Today I work somewhere AI adoption and experimentation are encouraged — and I’ve been given the chance to help drive that adoption forward.
A couple of weeks ago, we received a last-minute invitation from @OpenAI to join their next Enablement Cohort. I saw the value immediately and pushed for approval. My boss gave the green light.
This past week was Week One. 🚀🚀🚀
At some point it hit me how much has changed — and how I got here.
For the past few years, I’ve spent nights, weekends, courses, certifications, books, and projects learning AI. Building things. Breaking them. Figuring out why they broke.
I’ve also posted about AI relentlessly. Some of that was self-promotion as I tried to move my career into AI. But that was never the only reason.
I believed something important was happening. I could see the value AI would have, and I wanted people who couldn’t see it yet to have a window into what was coming.
That’s why this week meant so much.
I’m no longer just studying AI after work, building on nights and weekends, or posting about what’s coming. I’m now in a position to help make it happen.
I spent years doing this when nobody asked me to because I believed it was where things were headed. Being able to put that work to use now means a lot.
And we’re just getting started!

~ On Marriage ~
“Passion narrows the whole world to a single face and knows almost nothing about it; most of what it feels is its own heat. The bond two people make and break and remake across twenty years is a different order of thing altogether—unspectacular, and total. It is the condition of being completely known, every pettiness and cowardice and small-hours fear included, and chosen anyway, on the full evidence, by someone who has every reason to leave and stays. No stranger’s ardor can come near it, because the stranger is in love with a guess. Only the long work delivers the thing this animal wants most and can find nowhere else: to be seen all the way to the bottom and kept.
“This is why the work has no end, and why the endlessness is the point. Two people who keep choosing each other are two error-correctors turned on each other for life, each the other’s endless, moving, half-solved problem, each revising toward a person revising in return. The labor is not the tax you pay to keep the love.
“The work is the bond.”
— Chip Joyce, The Correcting Animal: The Case for Humanity (Cardo Press, 2026)
“We are the single creature born into a room with no ceiling—that can start in a cave and end by crossing the galaxy, and not one of us needs to be a genius for it. What we make does not die when we die. It is handed on, and built past, and handed on again, with no limit anyone has ever reached.
“Between that blank beginning and the open-ended mind lies the strangest construction project on earth: a mind assembling itself, out of almost nothing, from the inside. The whole argument happens in miniature there, in every nursery, before the child can say a word.”
— Chip Joyce, The Correcting Animal: The Case for Humanity (Cardo Press, 2026)
Primary public sources for the below are OpenAI’s incident writeup and the METR/Redwood investigation (scope: agent behavior on the Hugging Face episode through ~July 13, not the later OpenAI-cluster takeover or the May training episode in full). Interpretations about “civilizations,” takeover proximity, or what agents “believed” are commentary on those documents, not independently verified inner states.

This weekend, while sick and laid up in bed, I attended @PacktPublishing’s 𝗔𝗥𝗖 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 virtual conference. It was worth the price of admission for this single AI goldmine alone: https://t.co/gjGs8cc5Ny, by Imran Ahmad, PhD.
It is a comprehensive educational resource that brings together interactive visualizations, architecture diagrams, and practical explanations of modern AI systems.
The site covers topics such as:
• Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• Agent2Agent (A2A)
• Agentic RAG
• AI agent architectures
• Multi-agent systems
• Transformers and other foundational algorithms
• Industry use cases and AI research
One of its standout features is its emphasis on visual learning. Rather than relying solely on documentation or research papers, Neurals uses interactive diagrams and animations to explain how AI agents reason, communicate, retrieve information, and make decisions.
