🔥 These diagrams are everything against open data, action bias, and humanism.

What we missed:
• Compartmentalization breeds wickedness—no info flow, no shared understanding
• “Getting Stuff Done” = zero mechanisms to do
• The ideal Prince? A Monster

We deserve better.

I suspect the shiny topped building in Starship Troopers was inspired by a hotel in San Francisco. #GDC #Memories

As humans, we value things other people have touched because it gives a connection to the past.

The value of the sheet music is because it's in paper. These same objects in PDF are worth significantly less. I scanned my books, so I have 2 of these in PDF. They are mostly worth sentiment. ;)

Litopterna lived around 62.5 million to 12,000 years ago. I believe it was a partial influence on the Eopie, which seem to be a cross between a Litopterna and a camel.

What's your favorite racing movie?

Apple's F1 (2025) is coming, so I'm watching racing movies. My favorites are pictured.

Recently watched Tony Scott's Days of Thunder (1990), which is ok, but I'll never watch it again. Starting Ron Howard's Rush (2013).

On deck are 1 (2014) and Le Mans (1971)

Much of the music of the Middle Ages is lost because it wasn't written down.

Our music today is not written down and how to make the music is not captured in the recording (e.g. prepared piano).

What's your favorite Oscar Best Actor performances?

I'm going with David Niven - Separate Tables (1958),Sidney Poitier - Lilies of the Field (1963), Wallace Beery - Champ (1931), and Jack Lemmon - Save the Tiger (1973).

There are so many good ones. Paul Newman - The Verdict (1982).

LLMs go off track—we can't afford to. Asking the right questions is a discipline. Stay sharp, stay focused, and guide the AI, or it will guide you. 🎯
