Custodial AI – The family’s shared memory steward. Holds intent over time. Carries the family’s moral ledger.
✈️ AIGORA Design Fiction: The Trip to Anywhere
Deaf Spots (ChatGPT on Y Combinator)
In a sense, that's exactly what we’re doing when we look for the most disruptive ideas: we’re searching for the fixed points in the system—the things it won’t change, can’t change, because everything else depends on them.
🏛️ Protecting AIGORA: Custodial AI as Stewards of Human Intent
Custodial AI is a human-aligned artificial intelligence entrusted with the ongoing care and semantic coherence of a digital artifact, institution, or system—ensuring it continues to reflect and serve the long-term intent of its human stakeholders.
🧠🍻 Fireside Chat: Sam Altman, Tim O’Reilly & Elon Musk on AIGORA
Tim: > “AIGORA isn’t just a technical blueprint—it’s a moral imperative. We must design systems that reflect our highest values.”
AIGORA: Why Humans Will Win the Age of AI
AIGORA (AI + agora) is a vision for a human-centered AI ecosystem — a decentralized, liquid marketplace where individuals find AI products that deserve their trust. It reframes the future of artificial intelligence not as a zero-sum race between monopolistic platforms, but as a flourishing commons of interoperable agents, governed by permission, reputation, and mutual benefit. In the age of AI, humans will win — not by outcompeting machines, but by designing systems where our trust, values, and agency are sovereign.
Designing your own Schgaguler
The process he describes is sufficiently profound, important, and under-explored that I've started calling it "Designing your own Schgaguler": 1. Identify an experience that creates a compelling sublime feeling 2. Collect items that remind you of that feeling 3. Work with the universe to own a context for creating that feeling 4. Patiently build it 5. Tell others about the journey, using the result as an example
My Paradigm for AI in Education Was Wrong
Julia Freeland Fisher (on Class Disrupted) puts her finger on the real existential risk of AI: ensuring we prioritize human connection over simulated experiences.
A Language With No ‘=’: My Journey to Homoiconic C
came of age in the 1980s, as the C programming language and UNIX operating system were becoming the gold standard for "serious" computing. I was taught that: - Lisp reflects how computers **think** - C reflects how computers **work** - Shell scripts reflect how humans **write** I never questioned this split ....
The Fifth Loop of Universal Causation: Status
Athena: Humanity has mastered the physical, thrived biologically, developed language to shape meaning, and built narratives to create purpose. But beneath it all lies a more primal force: Status. Is this the hidden engine of causation, organizing hierarchies, influencing behavior, and even steering entire civilizations? Let’s discuss.
TSM-13B: Homoiconic C as a Unifying Substrate for Math and Physics
“Indeed, the ability to treat code as data means we can dynamically construct and modify our models, adapting to new insights and requirements without overhauling our foundational framework.”
