There's a recursive feedback loop where insufficient AI talent leads to poor governance implementation, which leads to poor policy design, which further reduces the attractiveness for AI talent.

Even on Claude Max, I'm running out of tokens. I'm starting to see the value in self-hosting a small GPU farm and LLM. I'm consuming enough AI capacity now where it might be cost effective.

When we get to AGI, it won't be *just* an LLM. There's got to be a whole cognitive architecture around it. And it looks nothing like "ChatGPT".

#vibeCoding today, knocked out MCP servers for #Jellyfin and #shlink. Once I use them without issue for a little while I'll open source them.

🎵 Prince: neurodivergent genius who gave permission to explore identity when the world wasn't ready. From epilepsy to "Purple Rain" to gender fluidity—why his revolutionary art remains so relevant. #Prince #Neurodiversity

In other news, scientists make breakthrough discovery that the Sun beams solar power from space.

🧵 Democrats led by Rep. @aoc.bsky.social and Sen. @wyden.senate.gov are demanding answers from #Palantir about their #surveillance "mega-database" (exactly what my past investigations predicted). The same #AI targeting #Gaza civilians is now tracking American taxpayers. #Congress #Privacy #Iran

Working on an article about #Prince. Probably sharing too much about how his music gave me permission to be #queer during the height of 1980's HIV/AIDS-fueled homophobia. But hey, it's #PrideMonth, right? (Yes, I'm aware his personal conduct was often homophobic, and I cover that.)

Europeans: "this email is unmonitored over Summer. good luck" Americans:

I respect that the big AI companies like #Anthropic and #OpenAI are under enormous scaling pressures, but JFC it's annoying to pay for these services when almost daily I get errors from #Claude about "unexpected capacity constraints" [...] "Claude is unable to respond to your message."

I realize my account is torn between two identities... 1. hey look at my new article 2. I love you Claude. I hate you Claude.

Did… #adobe… somehow NOT ever hear there is already a #FirefliesAI app? I am really hoping for a David & Goliath smack down on this one.

I was in such a groove with Claude on an idea and... "You’re almost out of usage - your limits will reset at 6:00 AM"

OK this didn't age well at all; #n8n released their own #Perplexity tool for agentic AI flows this week. All of my pre-work was for nothing. Well, not NOTHING. I learned a lot from the experience. But I could have aimed my efforts elsewhere.

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Groktopus Newsletter: Oracle and Meta's AI Infrastructure Spending Spree Reveals Strategic Missteps. Have a listen:

#Oracle: $25B on AI infrastructure, negative $400M cash flow #Meta: $14.8B for #ScaleAI after losing 78% of research team 42% of companies abandon AI projects Infrastructure ≠ strategy #AI #Strategy

Gosh you head from the US to the EU and suddenly every website really cares about your privacy.

OK I created a special account for my #BrainFarts podcast, hosted by @transistor.fm It's really a show that's all over the place, giving a few minutes of time to an array of different interests. Whatever I'm learning about at the moment. I promise there won't be a regular cadence. 🧠💨
