When I think of existential risks to large parts of humanity:

Today I had the pleasure of meeting with 12 Defecting OpenAI Researchers at their rural mountain AI traphouse.

I was invited to lead a group meditation session focused on accelerating the complete and total collapse of Global GDP— we tortured 1,000,000 live instances of GPT-5.

One thing I'm confident about.

From scammers to coup plotters, terror groups to village trolls: today a lot of people are pondering if/how they might leverage Musk's nearly clean global sweep of verification of governments, agencies, militaries, etc.

A new analysis of more than 40 years of research has concluded that many of those studies were flawed and that the opposite is true. nyti.ms/3MdbFKF

1/Putting this on record so that when we finally start talking about this seriously in 2032 or so, it will have been said:

The only way to halt or reverse America’s collapse is to institute national service as a norm.

Here’s why.

And so it begins…the NPCs are about to take over the game.
