Alongside @LRudL_, I’m co-founding Workshop Labs, a public benefit corporation with a mission to keep humans empowered as AI advances.

90% of Zoomers, myself included, have no idea what it even ~feels like~ to have a healthy relationship with consumer technology. Healthier technologies are for higher-taste consumers, and they earn less revenue. Healthier tech cannot keep pace with Apple, who has infinite users

Human beings are called to be co-workers in the work of creation, not merely passive consumers of content generated by artificial technology. Our dignity lies in our ability to reflect, choose freely, love unconditionally, and enter into authentic relationships with others.

Glad to see the Pope speak against techno-calvinism.

Build a future for humans

The undergrad international relations exam at Oxford has a question every year on Huntington’s clash of civilizations thesis. Our tutor encouraged us to use it as an opportunity to get free points by dunking on it.

Dhruv has written my favorite post-AGI story. This grapples with important questions. Can man truly "merge" with machines? In becoming more like machine, do we lose something human? Are we on track to cede the future? Please give it a read.

The Workshop Labs team will be at NeurIPS this week! Pro-tip: if you ask a Workshopper* nicely, they may show you what we’ve been working on. *we’re workshopping the team member name…

“I put nonzero probability on the turkey being stuck outside.” “Why are there four turkeys?”

Prepping for a Friendsgiving. All real quotes from a friend: “Does Claude have spreadsheet MCP? So I can auto-update the Claude suggestions for the food spreadsheet.” “Can we get someone else’s oven? Because ideally we cook two turkeys.” “Do they make turkeys bigger than 20-24

Interesting finding that DeepSeek R1 produces insecure code when prompted with politically sensitive topics in China. CrowdStrike says it could be an example of emergent misalignment. https://t.co/mFSSlVvkg7
