“Vibe physics”
![Travis Kalanick, the founder of Uber who no longer works at the company, appeared on All-In to talk with hosts Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya about the future of technology. When the topic turned to AI, Kalanick discussed how he uses xAI’s Grok, which went haywire last week, praising Adolf Hitler and advocating for a second Holocaust against Jews.
“I’ll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and I’ll start to get to the edge of what’s known in quantum physics and then I’m doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it’s vibe physics,” Kalanick explained. “And we’re approaching what’s known. And I’m trying to poke and see if there’s breakthroughs to be had. And I’ve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qlnirjwff4ibiw3wchmleszo/bafkreiac2szurc5dnw6klquhpjmo7iafg4n6fwmrqyred7jrrph6h6mptq@jpeg)

One way to understand your own condition is to write something and spend a long time revising it. In revising you teach yourself. You find your own information buried in your body. It is still alive until you are not.

I’m experimenting with anti-aesthetic, or purposeful imperfectionism. It’s my small, human response to eerily perfect AI art so devoid of soul.
This piece is inspired by all the poorly-made, overpriced housing that’s popping up all over my city. I made it from a local magazine and thrifted beads.

Gonna say something liberals really won’t like and it’s that you’re going to have to find it in your heart to feel compassion for and attempt to help ppl in crisis whose politics you may not agree with or else you’re gonna become the very thing you claim to hate

It'll never stop making me feel insane that writers are made to feel crazy for appropriately valuing their craft while guys who haven't written an email on their own in three years are painting themselves as essential to the future

THE COMPULSIVE ON MOTHER EATING by Chel Campbell
I have hurt my child by accident, banging his fine-haired head on open car doors or slipping down the stairs, purpling my spent body to shield his from impact. I used to be able to nurse the hurt away...

"I don't have the spoons." Bullshit. You have at least one spoon.
There are enough microplastics in your brain to make an entire spoon
There isn't yet research on how to remove microplastics already in our bodies, but there are a few ways we can limit exposure.

I feel like I should be a poet who smokes a lot of cigarettes, but I quit smoking before I became a poet. Huge missed opportunity.
