Things are insane right now, and maybe I’m too. Be that as it may, I feel like I’ve been a broken record for the last 18 months. Maybe longer. Some nights I wake up at 3am, startled, sweaty, and I hear myself screaming “VERVAEKE!” before I cry myself back to sleep.

Most important, the public needs education on Al so they can pressure for an aligned future as informed citizens. To- day's decisions about how Al reflects human values and en- hances human potential will reverberate for generations. This is not a challenge that can be solved in a lab-it requires society to grapple with the technology shaping the human condition and what future we want to create. And that process needs to happen, soon.

Over the last 5 years, we have watched as Ai has taken over the world, it feels like everyday there’s something new, and it’s hard to keep track of if you aren’t actively monitoring it, but it’s real.

While this is true, it misses the LLMs, researchers work at scales of fact that in Al training we can just keep connecting larger and larger have seemed astounding a few years arrays of chips, daisy-chaining them into massively parallel supercom- sen billions of parameters became puters.

No one can say for sure whether this hypothesis will hold, but so far at least it has. I think that looks set to continue for the

We consume untold amounts of data every day. Every second of every minute, bits and bytes are streaming through the series of tubes that we all know and love: the internet. We take it for granted, and most of us take the current monetization model—as well as all the ills that come along with it—for granted as well. We seldom stop and think about the strange world of bits and bytes. How wonderful it all is, but also how alien. How it already has transformed our lives, and how it will continue to transform our future. Where do the zeroes and ones come from? What makes it all work? And, most importantly: who is paying for it?

Vibe-coding is what brought me back to programming, precisely because it's fun and easy and painless and quick. It's low-effort. It can be done on the side.

Data Ownership: For the first time, you own your follower graph. If you decide you like one relay more than another, you can switch seamlessly while keeping all your connections.

Nostr is a revolutionary protocol that enables decentralized, censorship-resistant communication. The name is an acronym for Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays. Unlike traditional social media platforms where a single company controls everything, Nostr operates on a peer-to-peer network where users hold their own data and can connect through multiple independent servers called "relays."
