I am unreasonably excited about self-driving. It will be the first technology in many decades to visibly terraform outdoor physical spaces and way of life. Less parked cars. Less parking lots. Much greater safety for people in and out of cars. Less noise pollution. More space…

Shooting my shot cold texting the CEO of Starbucks (never met him) to convince him to remove the password on the WiFi in their stores. If this works I’m gonna run for President.

in a post-AGI world, people will simply get used to the fact that computers can solve cognitive problems quickly, and beat us in any cognitive domain, just like we're used to computers multiplying large numbers quickly now, or kicking our asses in chess and go. software and math…

There's something wonderful about the NASA Kilopower reactor: A tiny solid HEU core with one control rod that needs moving once a decade, pumpless capillary water cooling, Stirling engines, a molten sodium primary and it looks like a crown headpiece for a mad alien emperor.
