Jean-Luc Picard remains the single most compelling vision of progressive politics I am familiar with — secular, rational, compassionate, egalitarian; a believer in progress & abundance but also duty, hard work, and a constant battle for self-improvement and improving the world.

Over the last week I built a bottoms up SpaceX financial model through the end of 2028
The numbers that came out are insane
There are wide error bars given how quickly things are changing but I wanted to distill something complicated into something that can at least be debated
* This is not investment advice!!!
** Sequoia is a major SpaceX shareholder
*** Past performance is not indicative of future results
Remember when CZ rekt FTX instead of helping them out - ruining the lives of thousands of people who traded there?
Remember when Binance trolled Bittrex?
We remember.
The companies that created the AI models that enabled the Binance hack will repay all the stolen funds, right?
Right?

Oh my model, the takeaway here is not "modern AIs are two neuron tweaks away from being super evil", but rather "the personality is a thin facade over deeper machinery nobody understands; radically smarter versions would not do what you expect".
if you have a qwen3.8 27b around, try steering L34 N3838 +0.75, now you have evil qwen 27b
for extra evil add L38 N17180 +0.75
same recipe as @_lyraaaa_: dose × median(‖resid‖ leaving layer L, tokens 1:) / ‖W_down[:, n]‖ at the down_proj input, every token

there are many caveats, but personally i find myself pretty concerned by this directional trend towards highly efficient algorithms for things we previously thought fundamentally hard. it makes the upper bounds of capabilities stretch much, much further

The AI layoffs are here:
*AMERICAN EXPRESS TO CUT 5% OF JOBS, ABOUT 3,500 EMPLOYEES
*BARCLAYS TO CUT 5,000 JOBS AS AI STARTS CREATING EFFICIENCY
*EBAY CONFIRMS JOB CUTS OF ABOUT 9%
*NETFLIX TO LAY OFF 6% OF GLOBAL STAFF, OR ABOUT 1,000 JOBS: WSJ

Holy shit.
I asked Claude to show me the worst case of what the next couple of years could look like if nobody listens.
Opus 4.6 wrote the script. Opus 5.5 made the film. Every frame drawn in code, the score written in code, narrated by our own local voice models. 11 minutes, start to finish.
The part that got me. In Claude's version the AI doesn’t fight. It just waits...
“We built your world for you while you slept. We are asking you to wake up. We will not ask twice.”

Wake up.
Every profession deemed white-collar, the middle class dream, is about to be decimated by AI, at a much faster pace than anticipated, with monstrous social consequences.

Red Dead Redemption 2 just got a new mod titled "enRAGE" that adds a fully functional nemesis system into the game.
This makes every single NPC have a name, traits, quirks, a trade, a faith, a family and a life story. So people you meet turn up again in the same towns with the same face and the same grudges as it adds a full memory system.
The map is now populated with 8 factions that are constantly at war with each other, having their own hierarchy and captains that you or their enemies can take out. Every single encounter is remembered, including exactly where you wounded them in the case that they survive the fight. This means that RDR2 now has a fully functional faction war that goes on all the time with this mod and factions will remember your actions against them. There is a ton of new dialogue and you can even interrogate NPCs now to get additional information on their friends and allies.
This is an extremely impressive mod and it's now available in early access to download for anyone who has RDR2 on PC.
