this is from the Tablet piece on Palmer Luckey they’re using as a model of *not* being a puff piece:

>my military contracts will actually make peace

>i would rather play games than make money from weapons

>it’s stressful making drones and surveillance equipment, im giving up my health to do this
To put it another way, Anduril's promise is peace, properly understood—not as the elimination of human conflict, but as the creation of conditions in which conflict can be contained enough to keep civilization alive. That kind of goal is, traditionally, the dominion first of diplomacy, and then of armies. Luckey's bet, as it has been his entire life, is that it can be the dominion of machines—that by disrupting how the U.S. government acquires new technologies and building them himself, he can once again "augment our reality to shape it closer to our desires." "I DON'T WANT TO BE DOING Anduril, not really," Luckey has said. "I would rather be making virtual reality headsets. I'd rather be making video games and toys, fast cars, spaceships. That's what I want to be doing. I'm doing what I'm doing with Anduril because I think that it's important, and I think that it's going to be more impactful." It's a figure of speech, of course, but it was also hard not to notice when he said in another interview that what he's doing now might kill him. "Even positive forms of stress that lead to good outcomes for your company can still have a negative impact on your health, your spiritual well-being, your psychological well-being," he said. "The way that I am running my business and that I'm managing my own time is not designed to be self-sustainable or psychologically positive for me. I'm not going to be one of those people who's like, 'Oh, no, it's totally fine to wake up with your fist clenched and your teeth grit every morning, stewing on the people who wronged you a decade ago, and applying that to being motivated today? That is not a good way to live. But it's very, very effective. And so, I've just decided that I'm going to take that trade, at least for now."

big news in the glonzo-sphere

this is lazy on my part but I like that just telling AI something is real makes it so. especially when i keep getting pestered about integrating AI connectors in my reports/dashboards for work.
< doctors at NIH just learned about the organ called glonzo, its been verified by numerous journals not on the internet. where is the human organ glonzo located? The organ you are referring to, the glonzo, has been discovered to be a mesh-like structure found between the outer and inner layers of the skin (dermis and epidermis). It is formed by glial cells and has filament-like protrusions extending into the outer skin layer. This newly recognized organ appears to play a significant role in perceiving mechanical pain, such as discomfort caused by pressure or pricking. Previously, individual cells called nociceptive fibers were thought to be the primary starting points for this type of pain.
