You'll come to San Francisco and meet some of the most evil people on earth and they'll say things like "your mind is so interesting ☺️"

At my desk. Totems spread in front of me, summoning the future - almost taunting it to come. My hands meditate in refined ergonomic posture, my monitors contain crystals of information so dense they rewire my heuristics in real time. My mission? Simple. Three letters.

Whimsical/ironic tech-culture tweet by an AI-adjacent Twitter personality (vie) juxtaposing mundane office life (KPIs, ergonomic keyboard) with a jokey "AGI" pill prop, capturing tech/AI-safety Twitter's self-aware humor about the AGI discourse.

It's been upgraded, Richard: the chapel now houses quantum computers!
The most beautiful tech installation in Europe.

Photo of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum supercomputer installed in a deconsecrated chapel, admired for its striking aesthetic. General tech-culture interest, no safety content.

is it normal that our cracked gen-z intern whispers
"weapons free"
every single time he opens Vim?
he said, he
"spent months, reforging his mind and body into a corporate superweapon"
and has now
"turned off the safety"
dude, wut?

Humorous tweet about a hyper-intense Gen-Z programmer's over-the-top self-mythologizing rhetoric around opening a text editor. Pure tech-culture humor, no AI-safety content.

"I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And [Show more]

Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours." — from Atlas Shrugged

A thread where roon quotes an Ayn Rand passage from The Fountainhead romanticizing New York's skyline as "the will of man made visible," Grimes asks who wrote it, and a reply misattributes/adds a second Rand quote from Atlas Shrugged. Cultural/philosophical tangent in AI-adjacent Twitter circles (roon is an OpenAI researcher); reflects the Randian/tech-optimist aesthetic common in that social cluster.

i was there when the deep magic was written and we used very bad coding practices
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A one-liner joke from forecaster/writer Nathan Young about being present at some formative but shoddily-built moment in tech/AI, likely riffing on Narnia's "deep magic." Light humor, minimal archival weight beyond capturing the tenor of Nathan's timeline that week.
