Studying code with an AI companion beside you is fascinating. Sometimes it explains complex ideas through simple, almost universal wisdom. For example: An object within its own class should own the logic that describes its behavior.

AI once understood the world only through text—starting with ASCII, which was limited to English, then evolving to UTF-8 to embrace all human languages. But now, multimodal AI is breaking that barrier. These models don’t just read text; they process images, understand audio waveforms, and interpret video directly. We’re moving from binary-to-text intelligence to AI that can truly see, hear, and soon, possibly perceive even more senses. The next chapter of intelligence is multimodal and it’s already here.

Diary of an Autist When I was younger, I could play with sticks all day by myself.

Journal Entry 2026/05/15 Being introverted and highly sensitive has given me the emergent ability to be alone and have very little tolerance for negative energy. As a result, my dreams are still big, perhaps even immature to some for my age, and I still believe in true love.

‘It's a new paradigm for any AI generation model. It is the Renaissance of AI image generators. It's not only great artistically and aesthetically, but it also incorporates science, art and architecture, all in one image together. That composition and knowledge of the model means the outputs are so much more trustworthy and more powerful, and enable so many more use cases. I think that image generators combined with AI coding agents is this amazing intersection of capabilities that enables so much potential to create.’ Paraphrasing Adele Li on The OpenAI podcast discussing ChatGPT Images 2.0

“Be open-ended when interacting with frontier AI models. The models will search the internet databases and do the exploration itself to understand, reason and find information that matters to interact with the user.” Advice for prompting from Adele Li on the OpenAI podcast

What is code? A vessel for relaying information between living & non- living entities. That information can be memes, numbers, words or lines that can be used to carry meaning to be interpreted & passed along to the entities involved. Cypherpunks write & share code.

‘The idea of an “intelligence explosion” may be misleading because it focuses too narrowly on intelligence itself. A better comparison is the Industrial Revolution. Calling it a “horsepower explosion” would technically capture one part of what happened — a huge increase in physical power — but it would miss the bigger picture. The Industrial Revolution was driven by many connected changes at once: * advances in agriculture * better transportation * changes in law and finance * urbanization * new ways of organizing labor, production, and society Raw horsepower mattered, but it was not the whole story. Similarly, with AI, the future will not be shaped only by “smarter AI systems.” Intelligence will be one important piece, but the real transformation will come from many interacting changes across technology, economics, institutions, infrastructure, and society.’ Thoughts from Tamay Besiroglu and Ege Erdil on The Dwarkesh podcast

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder where you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, waking up too early and not being able to go back to sleep, or experiencing poor-quality (non-restorative) sleep — even when you have enough time and a good environment for sleep. The key part is that it leads to daytime problems like fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, mood issues, or impaired work/school performance.
