Minneapolis now, France soon.

Formerly data science/machine learning, soon to be something else entirely.

Leaving tech, and so should you.

“Ethan Thornton dropped out of MIT at 19 to build weapons. The first one, a hydrogen-powered system he prototyped with parts from Home Depot and Amazon, didn’t work out — ‘hydrogen was just a bad bet in general,’ he told me this past week at TechCrunch’s StrictlyVC event in Los Angeles.”

I want to see these people fed to hungry hyenas while spectators watch.

I’m quite serious.

This is a make believe technology, it’s not real in any sense.

Yes, this includes Waymo.

We need to stop pretending there is such a thing as AV technology. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/21/us/tesla-autopilot-crash-texas.html

Tesla Driver Using Autopilot Crashes Into Home in Texas and Kills a Woman, Officials Say

The driver told investigators he was using the vehicle’s automated-driver system when the vehicle left the roadway and crashed into a house in Harris County, Texas.

The New York Times

Guaranteed this never happened.

Also: hyenas.

Bro, just be lazy! Trust me, I work for OpenAI!

Again: I truly want to see these people fed to hyenas. Starve them for a few days so they're hungry.

The answer to so many of our problems is just "a pack of hungry hyenas."

I fucking hate these people.

Not because I'm jealous -- I'm truly not, and I know that's what some would say and I understand the inclination -- but because I wish they'd just shut the fuck up.

I'm sure this individual is, in some ways, a nice person. In others I'm sure they are truly terrible.

None of this means, however, that I don't want them to (1) shut the fuck up, and (2) see them torn to pieces by hungry hyenas as I watch, and smile.

We're still pretending promptfondling is a career:
I'm falling down the rabbit hole again:

It's fascinating how "prediction market" was accepted as the thinnest euphemism for gambling imaginable with no pushback, anywhere.

The American ruling class really doesn't care about anything if there's a buck to be made off the proles. We really need to bring back, and then liberally use, the guillotine.

Very stable society you built, America.

Looking more and more like an investment in guillotine manufacturing would generate great returns.
