Every year I sit down with my mother to explain how to use her phone and every year Apple sends 750 engineers into their little labs underneath their demonic Cupertino crop circle to come up with new and exciting ways to confuse her
Anthropic pays engineers $750,000+ a year to understand how LLMs work.
Stanford just put a 2 hour lecture that covers 80% of it for FREE.

It might be the highest ROI thing you do this month:
“Expecting an algorithmic description to instantiate the quality it maps is like expecting the mathematical formula of gravity to physically exert weight.”
I think this is the most insane thing the CIA has ever made public. 😨
They have a secret AI tool called Ghost Murmur.
It detects your heartbeat from 40 miles away using AI.
Not your phone. Not a tracker. Not a radio signal.
Your heartbeat.
It uses sensors built from synthetic diamonds to lock onto the electromagnetic fingerprint your heart produces every single beat, then pairs it with AI to filter that one signal from 1,000 square miles of noise.
Last week, a wounded American pilot was hiding in a mountain crevice in Iran.
No phone. No tracker. No way to call for help.
America found him anyway. From the sky. By listening to his chest.
But nobody mentioned the most important detail.
This was Ghost Murmur's first operational use. It's been sitting classified for years. Tested. Ready. Waiting.
They didn't reveal it to impress you. They revealed it because the rescue was already public.
Every technology a government admits to is the one they've already moved past.
Your heart has been broadcasting your location your entire life.
Someone just built the receiver.
i'm not satoshi, but I was early in laser focus on the positive societal implications of cryptography, online privacy and electronic cash, hence my ~1992 onwards active interest in applied research on ecash, privacy tech on cypherpunks list which led to hashcash and other ideas.
💥BREAKING: New York Times article, published today, concludes that Adam Back, a 55-year-old British computer scientist and cryptographer, is Satoshi Nakamoto.
this story is absolutely insane 🤯
> tech guy with zero biology background.
> his dog got terminal cancer.
> vets said 1 - 6 months left.
> bro said nah not on my watch.
> asked ChatGPT for a treatment plan.
> sequenced tumor DNA for $3k.
> used AlphaFold AI to model mutated proteins.
> designed world’s first personalized mRNA vaccine for a dog.
> partnered with universities to synthesize it.
> ethics approval took 3 months.
> vaccine design took 2 months.
> first injection December 2025.
> tumors shrank 75% within weeks.
> dog happy.
> universities confirmed it worked.
> now designing version 2 for remaining tumor.
AI + a guy determined to save his dog just outperformed the pharma industry 💀
the cure for cancer will be open source.
TL;DR:
- 200k human brain cells on a silicon chip learned to play DOOM.
- Cortical Labs is selling biological compute via Wetware-as-a-Service.
- ~20W brain-like efficiency vs megawatt AI clusters.
- Developers can run code on living neurons through Cortical Cloud.
