I love food and I love drink. Food and drink provide wonderful delights from delicious flavors and through jolly company. To my great fortune I never had any eating or drinking problems. Well all of that suddenly changed a few months ago. I went from no problems straight to intense chest pain and massive acid reflux. I consulted both AI and my generalist who both concluded that I had Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease aka GERD. I had never even heard of GERD before which is all the more surprisi...

Why Canada's shrinking population is actually part of the plan

This week, Statistics Canada reported that, for the first time in over 70 years, the country's population declined. Current estimates indicate a decline of around 102,000 people last year, leaving a total of 41,472,081 people in the country as of January 1, 2026. Opinions on this are mixed. On the one hand, a declining population can help improve things like housing affordability and increase GDP per capita (total wealth becomes divided by fewer people). It can also help improve productivity ...

This Week in All Things AI - Week 12-2026

The pace at which LLM's are being refreshed is insane. Week 12 had OpenAI's GPT-5.4-mini, Minimax-2.7 which helped design and optimize its own training and evaluation harnesses. Cursor's Composer-2 which itself was built on top of Kimi-K2.5. Anthropic has also been on a roll with its shipping velocity on Claude Cowork as well as Claude Code. Other interesting things were Fal's release of its MCP server and Packy McCormick's and Pim de Witte's 19K word article on World models. Readers who thin...

6529.io and my MEME card

What is 6529, and why does it feel different from other platforms? In this article, I break down its ecosystem—from Meme Cards to TDH, REP, and NIC—while sharing the story behind my latest submission, a piece about the reality of being an artist in Web3.

You’re Not Losing Your Job To AI—You’re Losing The Right To Disagree With It

These notes accompany a research presentation on the structural implications of agentic AI systems. While the slides provide visual anchors for key concepts, this document expands the theoretical framework, empirical observations, and design implications that emerge when AI transitions from tool to environment. It isn’t a conventional article; it reads closer to lecture notes, preserving the argumentative arc while giving each conceptual layer room to breathe.

The Quantum Mind

This paper proposes a shift in conceptualizing artificial intelligence systems' capacity for ethical judgment by integrating quantum cognition principles, virtue ethics, and modern AI development frameworks. Traditional binary decision-making limits AI’s ability to navigate complex, morally ambiguous situations. We introduce the concept of anchored flexibility.

How immigration actually boosts local economies for everyone

The Brookings Institution recently published something called Metro Monitor 2026. It's an interactive dashboard that provides decision-makers with data on how the largest metro areas in the US performed between 2014 and 2024. You can check it out here. As part of this analysis, they looked at the relationship between immigration and regional economic performance. More specifically, they examined how regional economies with growing immigrant populations have performed over the last decade, and...

Exploring the protocol stack of my hometown

In January of last year, the Eaton and Palisades fires showed in clear and present terms the cost of inaction on the climate crisis. Fires are common in Southern California, a fixture really, yet January's fires were the worst in LA's history, pushed deep into the urban core by hurricane force winds. Our cities operate in a twilight hour between two worlds. One world is the familiar machinery of departments, forms, and workflows that feel carved in stone. The other is the emerging landscape o...

Cusp of Rebirth V1 Reveal

This year for my birthday I decided to start a new tradition to break my birthday curse once and for all in which I create an open call for art to put together a Metaverse gallery and party. The theme of this open call I decided should be centered around the astrological themes of my birthday ~ Cusp of Rebirth. Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac, and Aries the first, so the transition period of March 17th - 23rd is referred to as the Cusp of Rebirth. All Zodiac signs inbetweens have cusps....

The fragility of the Dubai model

My friend Alex Feldman just shared this New York Times opinion piece with me. Along with it, he said, "Thought you'd appreciate this." And he was right, because he knows me. He and I have a long history of geeking out about cities, hosteling around Europe together, and booking irresponsible flights at odd times in odd locations. The article is by Richard Florida, and it's called "Dubai Was Not Built For War." It follows one of the themes that we recently spoke about, here. People come to citi...

DCP at SXSW 2026: Where the Real Conversation Was Distribution

SXSW 2026 reminded us that indie filmmaking is alive and well with the streets buzzing in downtown Austin, TX. While filmmaking talent and tools have never been more accessible, getting your film seen after the fest is still the hardest part. Throughout the week, the Decentralized Pictures team connected with dozens of filmmakers—from first-time directors to seasoned indie veterans—and one theme came up again and again: distribution remains the bottleneck. Filmmakers spoke candidly about the ...
