The constant context switching is exhausting precisely because it works against how mastery actually forms. That tension is real and not a personal failure.

AI Breakthrough Mythos Sparks Existential Dread and Questions
By
–
i'm on vacation with my family. i read about mythos and couldn't relax the rest of the day. i am completely stunned. i already have a severe case of ai psychosis. i dont know what to call this now. i'm up late right now (late for me). i can't stop reading about anthropic's new model that they can't even release publicly because it's so good. this feels different. words like "frightening" and "uneasy" and "scary" are being throw around by the anthropic team. i feel all of those things. i knew this moment was coming. i didn't know it'd be so soon. i'm generally optimistic. i don't feel as optimistic today. i was shell-shocked most of the day. my mind was stuck on it. i kept looking around at people enjoying their vacations with their families and…i just felt weird. like i had been told aliens are real, they're coming, and soon…and no one else knows. it's true though, practically no one knows what's happening in AI right now. where does this go from here? how quickly? is software solved? is all software vulnerable now? am i even asking the right questions? what about anthropic? this is an enormous amount of power for one company, one man (dario), to have. i've said this before but now it's more real than ever: can any company catch up to anthropic? opus likely helped build mythos, mythos will help build the next model after that. recursive self improvement is here. the "intelligence explosion" as leopold aschenbrenner put it, is here. i knew the frontier labs were racing towards ASI. i knew it. but i didn't fully grasp what it meant. the first company to reach it wins. period. full stop. nothing else matters. dario knew that and his bet on coding was right. on the one hand, imaging all science, math, coding, climate problems being solved. imagine cancer being cured. imagine going to the stars. on the other hand – imagine concentration of power, political and economic change happening so fast, society can't adapt. how do we go on like things are the same?

Gifted Kids Lack Humanities Programs Leading to Intellectual Decline
By

The only problem is that there are no humanities programs for gifted kids. The next generation of humanities teacher and profs were the results of grooming intellectually mediocre normies, so the humanities are basically dead now

Teen Explains Dimensional Physics with Rare Clarity and Simplicity

A 16-year-old just exposed a problem that goes far beyond physics.
— Pascal Bornet (@pascal_bornet) 8 avril 2026
He explained dimensional reality in 9 minutes more clearly than most institutions have managed in decades.
What struck me was not only how smart he was.
It was how simple he made it feel. That is rare.

VR and Latent Space Replace Psychedelics

there won't be a need for psychedelics anymore

just vr goggles and latent space https://t.co/LlYcYvajpzthere won't be a need for psychedelics anymore just vr goggles and latent space Benjamin Bardou (@benjaminbardou) Vertigo of Latent Space Montage marked the decisive invention of cinema: a mode of associating images capable of producing new relations. Yet this potential has remained largely unexplored, as cinema has most often reproduced narrative forms inherited from the novel. With artificial imagination, another regime of images emerges. Images are no longer simply arranged; they transform into one another within a continuous space. It then becomes possible to work not with sequences, but with transitions, passages, thresholds. Vertigo is approached here as a latent structure, a field of forms in circulation. The film becomes a set of persistent forms that reactivate, deform, and recombine in contact with other images. What is at stake here is less a reinterpretation of the film than an attempt to approach thought in action: its movement, its bifurcations, its reminiscences. In The Flow, this research unfolds on another scale. It seeks to follow the flow of consciousness, not as narrative, but as a continuous dynamic in which films, memories, and history intermingle and circulate. This work around Vertigo constitutes a variation: a way of exploring how a film can dissolve into this flow and become one of the sites from which thought begins to move. — https://nitter.net/benjaminbardou/status/2041519539234508968#m
