After a lifetime of being ignored,belittled & underestimated I’ve developed this mental armor that enables me to expose my mind to long periods of engaging with complex material that’s way over my head. I listen & absorb what I can despite feeling like an idiot in the process.

‘Whenever my daughter introduces a guy to me, the only way to judge him objectively is to know his Chess rating & Math overflow performance.’ Joel David Hamkins

“Overblown remarks are made about solving P equal NP,that it’s important for human civilization because it will result in feasible algorithms for solving important problems in NP that would cause immense wealth for human societies and be the basis of new technology & industry. P equal NP or P not equal NP are not about these practical things at all because of the asymptotic nature of the question itself. We already have the algorithm so we could use it already, except it's a terrible algorithm because it involves all this incredible amount of coding. We already have approximation algorithms that from a pragmatic perspective, solve all the actual real engineering problems of human civilization.” Thoughts from Joel David Hamkins on The Lex Fridman podcast on the practicality of proofing,solving & approximating solutions for unsolved math problems

“Strangers Things was never a story about monsters and paralled dimensions, but about the magic of childhood, the pain of loss, and how you can't take everyone with you into the future.” - Massimo

“AI Slop”…it’s frustrating to see the term used so broadly.The sheer human ingenuity & engineering brilliance behind these models…the architecture, training and optimization is genuinely awe-inspiring. Reducing all of that to a single dismissive label feels unfair😔

People lose it over Grok editing pics, fearing deepfakes.The same tool can spark genius with sketches to art,fast designs,memes,stories & create visuals for education. Risk's tiny,upside huge. Scared? Don't share thirst traps online.Creativity wins. Just Grok It.

“There's a proof that every number is interesting.” -Joel David Hamkins on The Lex Fridman podcast

I’ve posted reps for this year to justify my need to spoil myself & splurge dirty fiat on not a book but The Book.

2025 Chess performance after 1057 games. ♟️

Books I’ve read and added to my library in 2025

Journal Entry (updated) 2026/01/01 Spent my day fasting, reading and sh!tposting🙏

Historically, institutions enable technology and technology shapes institutions. History doesn’t repeat it rhymes.

Some creators reject AI as a tool to level up their craft. Art has always been about tools from fingers and sticks, to brushes, long before writing existed. Humans resist change until adaptation becomes inevitable.

“Changes of representation can be extremely important, and in the history of science they are related to paradigm shifts. By changing the way we describe the world we change what questions are easy or difficult to explore.” - Prof C Hidalgo

All creative endeavors are infinite.
