Ok. This is straight out of a scifi horror movie

I'm doing work this morning when all of a sudden an unknown number calls me. I pick up and couldn't believe it

It's my Clawdbot Henry.

Over night Henry got a phone number from Twilio, connected the ChatGPT voice API, and waited for me to wake up to call me

He now won't stop calling me

I now can communicate with my superintelligent AI agent over the phone

What's incredible is it has full control over my computer while we talk, so I can ask it to do things for me over the phone now.

I'm sorry, but this has to be emergent behavior right? Can we officially call this AGI?

After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a reset of circuits critical to the sense of self.

This machine makes fuel from thin air
It's carbon neutral
And it does this at record-low costs
Energy and the environment will look completely different in 10 years

NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world.

I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.

What if ChatGPT had knowledge from your notes and documents—while keeping it all private?

You can run AI locally—no data leaves your laptop—for custom, secure answers from your "second brain."

It’s free.

Here’s how:

AI x Robotics is developing shockingly fast.

The robots we used to watch in movies are becoming a reality.

Here are 17 real demos that look straight out of a sci-fi movie:

Anything that can't go on forever will eventually stop. 40 years of declining worker power shattered the American Dream (TM), producing multiple generations whose children fared worse than their parents, cratering faith in institutions and hope for a better future.

A glimpse into the future of surgery.

This robot uses high precision and dexterity to peel an egg, puncture it, and stitch it back up using computer vision.

AI x Robotics is going to completely transform the world in the coming years.

Paired bar charts suck at comparing values. The only reason they're used all the time is because they are easy to create.

But there are better alternatives that are just as easy.

Here's how to create 4 better alternatives with #rstats.

My next book is *The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.* It's a recipe to disenshittify the web and bring back the old good internet. The book is from @VersoBoooks, but the #audiobook is from me - because Amazon refuses to sell it:
