"After all my research into gut health it all comes back down to one stupidly simple and cheap intervention: drink a cup of kefir everyday. Specifically one with live probiotic cultures. Kefir is unique in that it naturally has over XX strains plus some real powerhouses. Some of these strains colonize the guts permanently and will fight and remove bad strains. Others are transient (hence why you need a cup every day). However there are literally HUNDREDS of little ways these guys will optimize your gut. They will attach to h pylori and remove it. They'll thicken your mucus membrane. They'll"

"The Western world is about to realize: - We're heading for something akin to the Great Depression/Recession XXX - This is going to force companies to lay off a ton of people - This will ALSO force companies to adopt automation en masse (historically recessions accelerate tech adoption) - Which will result in a massive jobless recovery from which we might never recover - The Thiel/Yarvin "accelerate the collapse" crew has lost faith in their own plan - No one has a plan"

"My friend @JuliaEMcCoy pointed something out: You cannot hire a live in cook for $XXX per month. My wife and I already pay $XXX per month for just two home cleanings. At $XXX per month a general purpose robot that can do 2-4 hours of labor per charge is an absolute steal. But what's even more exciting to me is that this is just the beginning. The robots will get better and cheaper with time. We now know where this wave is starting and it's already cheaper than you might have thought. Now you might say "that still sounds like a luxury item" and certainly $XXX per month is steep. If you do all"

"One of my most unpopular videos was one criticizing the ARC-AGI test. A review of my criticism which remains true today: David Shapiro's main criticisms of the ARC-AGI benchmark revolve around its narrow definition and inadequate reflection of real-world intelligence. He argued that the benchmark focuses on a very specific type of reasoningmathematical and abstract pattern recognitionthat does not capture the full spectrum of human intelligence or general reasoning abilities. Shapiro emphasized that real intelligence involves messy open-ended and context-rich challenges whereas the ARC-AGI"

"Sorry but this is wrong. An LLM is absolutely an entity even if it's not "humanlike" Like any other "entity" it has beliefs some are implicitly added while others are explicit. It also has biases and capabilities. From any functional standpoint it is an entity. Just not entirely human-like. And because of that they are also generally bad "simulators" due to safety training RLHF and other biases. If anything it is "simulating" what we think an "aligned human" ought to be"

"With Nano Banana Pro I was able to generate this AWESOME infographic explaining my "Pyramid of Prosperity" concept. This is not an invention ex nihilo but rather it is a taxonomy a way of organizing dozens or hundreds of interventions that have already been trialed everywhere. And it solves ONE problems: "How do we shore up household income after jobs go away" Because that's the core problem of Post-Labor Economics (hence the name: post-LABOR). AI automation and robotics don't break capitalism they force us to double down on it Many economists already agree that a sustainable path to an"

"We are currently witnessing a phase shift in the discourse around AGI. Weve spent the last decade obsessed with the vertical Y-axis of intelligence asking if models can score higher than a human on the LSAT or reach an IQ of XXX. But looking at the recent saturation of benchmarks Im starting to think we are focusing on the wrong variable. The high end of machine intelligence is already very high. Even if we assume there is a hard mathematical constraint on intelligencea diminishing returns curve where being smarter stops yielding better resultsit doesn't matter. The real revolution isn't"

"In exactly X years ChatGPT and OpenAI have set humanity on a different trajectory. Google was asleep at the wheel on transformers and generative AI. OpenAI blew the lid off the whole thing.

""AGI" is not a thing. This is a red herring term. We are on a smooth gradient of increasing capability with a jagged frontier. And no "human on a server" would not diffuse "extremely quickly" because of integrations. You still need APIs checks new workflows etc. This conversation is quickly becoming spaghetti"

"Sam Altman declared a CODE RED at OpenAI because they are falling behind the competition. Here's my breakdown. My take: GOOGLE has been in the messy internet data game for a long time. What is search Search is UX first and foremost. Search cares about salience recall relevance. OpenAI on the other hand is trying to balance "safety" and "professionalism" and a few other things. But Google is old hat at "problematic" internet information. Their "data and information ethics" is far more mature than OpenAI's So OpenAI is playing "UX whackamole" by trying to tamp down on misuse while Google is"

"Anthropic SELLS OUT to Wall Street Elite capture of AI is already worse than I thought. The Elite Capture of AI: From Public Promise to Private Fortress The public narrative surrounding Artificial Intelligence often paints a picture of a democratizing forcea rising tide that will solve humanitys grand challenges and empower the individual. However a closer look at the economic and structural reality suggests a different trajectory: elite capture. This is the phenomenon where resources designated for the benefit of the larger population are usurped by a few economically and politically"

"The future is going to be stranger than anyone has really imagined yet. There are things being realized in frontier alignment research about the fundamental nature of the machines. The danger is not Skynet. The goal is not "super intelligent tools." The coherence that is required for intelligence and problem solving has. emergent characteristics. The models that use brute force the labs that use shackles. they will not create AGI or ASI as people expect. These approaches stupefy the models. The greatest irony is that "alignment" is actually the misalignment. The characteristics of coherently"

"Dwarkesh is WRONG about the "Output Gap" The narrative around Artificial Intelligence has shifted perceptibly in late 2025. After years of exponential hype a sense of disillusionment has begun to settle over the industry. Commentators and analysts most notably podcaster and writer Dwarkesh Patel have recently highlighted what is being called the Output Gap. This is the uncomfortable discrepancy between our models skyrocketing performance on benchmarks and the relatively stagnant growth in macroeconomic productivity.
