Imagination is more important than knowledge. ~ Einstein. My current sabbatical in New Orleans got me rethinking the meaning of work, the universe, everything. We are at the doorsteps of machine super intelligence (ASIs), what will remain are only what’s human. Intuition of the.
There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper.

this is great pricing. Cheaper than gpt-5-mini. and on that price tier, coding capability looks sota. but no image input? Unfortunate capability gap to drop multimodal from bigger grok 4.
Grok Code is now available in Cursor! It's free for one week. It's fast and has competitive pricing ($0.2/1M input, $1.5/1M output)

@kimmonismus i want to use banana in production workflows but i can't. Reliability and consistency is not there, though fidelity and image quality is almost on par now with gpt-image-1. where's the pro banana @OfficialLoganK ?

dear @GoogleDeepMind and @OfficialLoganK . Why are you like this?. in order to use your banana in prod, I have to workaround your REQUIRED watermark (correct me if I'm wrong) by using gemini or some other model to REMOVE this watermark in 2nd pass. Neither I or users of my AI app

The equivalent of this in a startup is focusing on wrong metrics. Like story points.
A Chinese child adds 10 five-digit numbers in 8 seconds.

1. I got shown the AI mode icon in Google app. I’m like cool, it just rolled out to Canada where I am. 2. AI mode is not available on your account. Why are you like this? It’s like how many PhDs does it take to screw on a lightbulb… release roll out

I love Apple, iPhone hardware is still second to none. But good lord the sycophancy dismissing Apple is Cooked. OMG you made a bigger screen fit in pants!. While Jony Ive and OpenAI is thinking new modalities with intelligent machines. Wake up man. Fire Cook like Jobs would have.
It’s going to be the most exciting Apple launch for tech fans in many, many years if you ask me.

Veo 3 free weekend: tried 3 times with different prompts, all fail. @OfficialLoganK it's great you open up access but this is negative UX and marketing. Why does Google so often have great underlying tech but crap product execution with half assed testing?

12 Why the Line Still Echoes. Four words, spoken softly: Lead them to paradise. They contain the entire grammar of sacrificial war: the sacred end, the chosen people, the divinely sanctioned voice, the command that erases cost and replaces it with destiny. Watch Stilgar bow,.

11 Herbert’s Longer Arc. Frank Herbert designed Paul’s arc as a cautionary spiral. The “paradise” won here costs sixty-one billion lives across twelve years, until Leto II’s monstrous peace eclipses even that horror. Villeneuve cannot show us the Golden Path, but he can hint.

10 Chani’s Refusal. Throughout the film Chani is our conscience. She hears the same promises but remains unpersuaded, her gaze steady as Paul’s rhetoric soars. When she finally turns away from the cheering crowds, Villeneuve gives us the reverse angle of the coronation: not.

9 Spice and the Theology of Scarcity. Spice is the material substrate that makes every vision possible, yet the film never lets us forget that it is also the planet’s dwindling capital. Paul’s promise to turn Arrakis green is, at bottom, a promise to exchange one scarcity for.

8 Just War, Eviscerated. Traditional Just War theory asks that violence meet tests of legitimate authority, just cause, right intention, and proportionality. Paul checks every box only by hollowing each one from within. Authority? He is both duke and messiah. Cause?.

7 Decolonization, Corrupted. The Fremen begin as textbook revolutionaries in Fanon’s sense: colonized people whose violence is a therapy of dignity. Yet the moment Paul places the imperial signet on his finger, the therapy becomes pathology. The rifles once aimed at Harkonnen.

6 The Friend-Enemy Prism. Carl Schmitt argued that the sovereign is the one who decides on the exception—who may be killed without guilt. Paul’s coronation speech collapses Fremen identity into a single tautology: friend equals believer, enemy equals everyone else. The.

5 Paradise, Remixed. The content of paradise is endlessly adjustable. For the crusader it was Jerusalem; for the Taiping it was the Heavenly Kingdom; for American settlers it was “free” land cleared of its prior inhabitants. Paul’s innovation is to fuse ecological restoration.

4 Delegated Sanctification. By handing Stilgar the keys to the crusade, Paul performs a maneuver as old as organized religion. Charisma is converted into bureaucracy; the prophet steps back, the priest steps forward. Stilgar, now becomes the archbishop of the war. Fremen.

3 From Resistance to Embrace. Before the second baptism of spice, Paul is still arguing with his own visions. He presses his forehead to Chani’s and whispers, “If I go south, I see only horror—billions dead with my name on their lips.” He tries to wriggle free, telling Jessica.

2 From “I Will Lead You” to “Lead Them”. There are two moments in the film when Paul invokes paradise, and the distance between them measures his moral retreat. In the humid half-light of Sietch Tabr, still shaking from the Water of Life, Paul plants his crysknife in the sand.
