My life has no point and I don't want to keep being like this. Always risking everything, always getting nothing. I want to be an ordinary person with an ordinary life, with things just working.
Ashkan Bonakdar 🞶 has such a strange way of dealing with bad news. He either truly does not care, or he pushes it strangely to himself and does not show a thing. I am sure of the second one as I have seen him deal with the news alone, and I admire him for such strength but also fear if that is to do him any harm.
I think my idea with embedding space and ZPD is really one new breakthrough.
War awaits us, and the world wants it. Everyone wants us dead and destroyed. People who are imprisoned and slaves by their own country. Fuck the world.
I'm stressed, but I know I deserve it. The chicken I ate tonight was poor and I'm sure had suffered the worst of this world to be made to be eaten. And how many animals have I eaten so far? I deserve to suffer as much, and therefore I deserve no mercy and no forgiveness, and that is the worst part of this world. To know there is no god and all is a hallucination and everything is so unbearably horribly terrifyingly dark.
Trying to explore GToolkit, I wanted to see if I can solve a long-open problem: To know on which days I have been working on what projects. Having this in Magna Archiva 🞶 improves my day contexts a lot. What makes it interesting is how different working in GToolkit is. We need that in 1285 🞶. (1/1)
To understand why Amazon is firing 14,000 people before AI is fully ready to replace them, you have to look at the Elon Musk playbook. Specifically, the D.O.G.E. (Department of Government Efficiency) philosophy.
From an engineering perspective, you cannot find the true limit of optimization by being careful. You find it by cutting until the system breaks. You have to make the mistake of over-cutting.
If you don’t over-cut, you don’t know where the threshold is. You cut 10%? The system works. You cut 20%? It works. You cut 50%? It collapses. Good. Now you know the limit is 49%. You hire back the critical 1% and you run a lean machine.
So, where does this leave the small business owner? The freelancer? The artist? If you try to compete with AI on Quantity, you will lose. You cannot out-generate the machine. Speed is now a commodity.
The strategy for 2026 is to pivot entirely to Quality. And I don’t mean “expensive.” I mean “Luxury” in its true definition. Luxury is not a price tag. Luxury is the presence of a Human Soul.
While corporations use AI to average everything down to the lowest common denominator, the small shop, the artisan, and the local expert must double down on what AI cannot do: Community and Connection.
In 2026, the status symbol won’t be the newest headset. It will be the ability to disconnect. We are seeing a rejection of “Perfect.” When you see a video with perfect lighting, perfect stock footage, and a perfect voice, your brain now screams: “FAKE.” Trust is plummeting.
