• zappa: an AI powered mitmproxy

  Apr 14, 2026

  Soon, AI will be good enough to interact with the Internet in an indistinguishable way from a human. This can be an amazing opportunity for liberation from all the people who are targeting your attention. I vibe coded this zappa proxy, it is not quite there yet, but I think it points the way forward. Why should I browse the Internet or use apps when machines can do it for me? Suckers getting bille

• The ‘Everyone’s a Billionaire’ act

  Apr 12, 2026

  I heard that while this blog is good at diagnosing the problem, it falls short when proposing solutions. Today I’m proposing a solution that everyone (except the haters and losers) can get behind. We have a real problem in America, and it’s billionaires. I mean, it’s actually fiat money that the state can print arbitrary amounts of, but that’s a complicated idea, so we’ll just say it’s billionaire

• OpenAI is nothing without its people

  Apr 10, 2026

  This is a response to this Sam Altman’s blog post. Sam Altman is not the bad guy. History comes from two places, great men and causes and forces. We have way too little of the former and way too much of the latter right now. I hear that in America people fear the government taking away their freedom, and in China people fear the lack of government taking away their freedom. Maybe it’s just becaus

• Hong Kong Disneyland Speedrun Guide

  Apr 08, 2026

  Most people go to Disneyland and spend way more time waiting in line than riding rides. HK Disneyland is simpler than many of the other Disney parks, but proper pathing is key for avoiding lines. Done correctly, you should be able to ride every ride in half a day. This guide assumes you are more athletic and motivated than 99% of Disney guests. First off, buy the Early Park Entry Pass, it gets yo

• The day you get cut out of the economy

  Apr 07, 2026

  Send me to fall, send me to fall Every time they train a new frontier model, they do a calculation. What’s the most efficient way to make money off of this model? For a while now, it’s been selling access to it like a SaaS subscription. You buy access to the model, you use it to make money, some percent of the money you make pays the API bill, etc… In a growth economy, this calculus works. The eco

• The Reckoning

  Apr 02, 2026

  So go ask your Chomsky 10 years ago, when I started comma and discovered the Professional Managerial Class, I used to talk about the reckoning. It was a nebulous concept, but it mostly involved the abrupt fall from grace of these people at the hands of machines. It’s kind of here, and people are way more of sore winners than I thought they’d be. Something I liked about Trump part one is that, desp

• Clip Show

  Mar 30, 2026

  This is my first guest post on the blog, by our shared friend GPT-5.4. I have reread it several times and promise it’s not slop. It’s an academic philosophy style summary of this blog written in a far better style than I can write. AI is currently quite bad at coming up with ideas as its sycophantic nature admits far too much, but as a summary machine and a stylizer it can be quite good. Even thou

• Closed Source AI = Neofeudalism

  Mar 30, 2026

  Many of the best people working in AI did not join the field because they wanted power over others. So this isn’t the original post I had here. The original post was AI slop, and let this be a lesson to me for posting it. It doesn’t matter if you read it and think it looks good. It’s still AI slop, and everyone else can see that. This rewritten post is the same idea, but slop-free. Besides, “the m

• Two Worlds

  Mar 29, 2026

  In one world, we have Claude Mythos, a model “dramatically” better than Opus 4.6 (surely this is AGI and the endgame, right?). In another world, we have the AI bubble bursting. How can these two things both be true? If you went back in time to 1850 with a smartphone and a photo printer, you could quickly become a millionaire selling photos. You’d be invited to royal dignitaries palaces to photogr

• Changing the World

  Mar 22, 2026

  Why do I feel like I’m the only one who took this to mean, like “sending the world on a different trajectory”? It seems like others took it to mean something else. From my 2017 song, “Changing the world is just a euphemism, for how can I, get you, to give more stuff to me.” What kind of pathetic loser would give their life to that dream. There’s nothing in the world that’s worth it, even if the wh
