Did OpenAI Steal a Math Breakthrough? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few weeks ago, I saw a headline that made me stop scrolling: OpenAI had apparently solved the Navier-Stokes problem. This is a big deal. The Navier-Stokes equations describe how fluids move: water, air, blood, ocean currents, airflow around airplanes, and much more. One of the great unsolved questions is whether these equations can ever produce a mathematical singularity, where a smooth flowing fluid suddenly develops an infinitely violent whirlpool in a finite amount of time. It’s been an ope
Why Nobody Wants Kids Anymore? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently stumbled into some pretty startling evidence of the birth rate collapse happening right in my own backyard. It’s back-to-school season, and while picking up my daughter on her first day, she told me something interesting: her kindergarten teacher had just become her third-grade teacher. At first, I thought that was just a funny coincidence. Then I learned why. For decades, our local elementary school had two kindergarten classes each year, with roughly 50 incoming kids. But over the p

AI Is About to Crash. Here’s Why. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello world. I’m an unemployed ex Big Tech software engineer with 25 years of experience in the technology industry. And lately, I’ve been looking at the AI industry and thinking: Is it just me, or is this bubble looking extra bubbly? Because something feels different. The AI industry is still burning through enormous amounts of money. The companies at the center of the AI boom continue to require staggering amounts of capital to build data centers, buy GPUs, train models, and keep everything ru
Time Is Going By Too Fast... Here's Why (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the strangest things about getting laid off from Big Tech is realizing that, for the first time in decades, I actually have time. And as strange as this new chapter has been, I’ve noticed something surprisingly wonderful. Time has slowed down. Not literally, of course. The Earth is still spinning at roughly the same speed. My clocks haven’t suddenly become defective. Monday still becomes Tuesday whether I like it or not. But my perception of time has changed dramatically. And honestly? It
