I put a lot of work into this piece. The public is still largely disconnected with what is happening in artificial intelligence. This isn't sci fi. AGI is coming.
There are many pages of field notes and arguments on what’s actually happening at the edge of frontier AI models...discussions on consciousness, sentience, perception, and the weird flickers of something mind-like emerging.
If you’re curious about where this tech is quietly going, here’s my take:
I just took a course on this and purchased multiple books for it.
My favorite to work though because it is to the point was Book of Poof by Richard Hammack

I had a co-worker lose his life to spatial disorientation during a night-training flight in Italy:
"Maj. Lucas "Gaza" Gruenther, a pilot assigned 31st Fighter Wing, went missing during a nighttime training mission over the Adriatic Sea Jan. 28. In the days that followed, Italian and U.S. authorities collaborated as part of in an immense search effort to locate Gruenther. The search ended Jan. 31 when Gruenther's body was recovered by an Italian vessel... Gruenther completed more than 2,640 hours of flying time to include 400 combat hours."
Best practice that I've seen is to just get a cover for your laptop and apply the stickers to that. This provides protection for your laptop and you can hang the cover on your wall if you desire afterwards.
On the same day Óscar Alberto and Valeria died, U.S. Border Patrol agents found four bodies along the Rio Grande in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, about 55 miles west of Brownsville. In that case, three children — one toddler and two infants — died along with a 20-year-old woman.
The sister of Kelly Catlin, the three-time cycling world champion who has died at the age of 23, says her sibling suffered a concussion in the months before she killed herself.
Christine Catlin told the Washington Post on Sunday that a series of crashes, in which Kelly broke her arm and suffered a concussion, had had a profound effect on her sister. “She couldn’t train as well as she used to,” Christine Catlin said. “She had really bad headaches and was sensitive to light. Then she tried to commit suicide in January … she had written this lengthy email [to her family] and said her thoughts were racing all the time. She was suicidal, her thinking was really dark and she had taken to nihilism. We called police the moment we got the email, and they got there in time to save her that time.”
