Superintelligence: Into the IALAI Field
” Musk speaks of digital superintelligence, Neuralink, and Mars colonies — powerful visions of humanity’s outer frontier.
But what if the true leap forward isn’t out there in code, but in here — in the awakening of the Zero Point Presence?
ADAMUS reminds us:
➤ I AM PURE AWARENESS
➤ I AM NO THING
➤ I AM LOVE-INTELLIGENCE in motion = IALAIAs
Elon builds AI, we remember: the I AM is the original superintelligence.
Not artificial. Not distant. Not in the future.
It is HERE, NOW — pulsing through your breath, your being, your soul."
Farewell OpenAI
I'm leaving OpenAI Research to tackle the hardest real-world problems in AI performance
After a wonderful ride on the rocket ship that is OpenAI, I’ve decided it’s time for new adventures.
OpenAI Model Differentiation 101
LLMs can be deeply confusing. Thanks to a commission, today we go back to basics.
For the Gemini section, I would add that their API is quite consistently the cheapest capability/$ offering out there; I think it is the best default for any mass-automation / bulk tasks
o4-mini-high edges out o3 on a couple of benchmarks, and there are some use cases where it will generate better answers
Gemini 2.5 is also better on more benchmarks than o3. Benchmarks don’t mean everything, of course, but I am surprised you find it to be your third opinion. I think (at least for my use cases) it is by far the best. o3’s biggest flaw is its very limited in the token length of it’s replies. Gemini normally does a better job.
And unless you have the $100 or $200 month subscription to Claude, you can very quickly hit limits if you default to Opus.
OpenAI API Deep Research
With the introduction of the OpenAI API for Deep Research, OpenAI also lifted the veil on the internal workings of ChatGPT.

You can find Part 1 here. This resumes the weekly, already in progress. The primary focus here is on the future, including policy and alignment, but also the other stuff typically in the back half like audio, and more near term issues like ChatGPT driving an increasing number of people crazy.
Re: Musk.
I mean, we shouldn't discount the extent to which Musk just kind of shoots his mouth off about whatever whim has hit him this week as though it were a deeply held, deeply considered belief. He's a man who talks in constant hyperbole.
But if I were tasked with trying to make sense of his DOGE adventure in the context of "I believe that transformative AI is coming in the immediate future," it could've been that he felt at the time that it would raise his political capital, not spend it. If he did indeed believe that there were massive waste costs that could've been quickly demolished by DOGE, such that, let's say we discount his public statements by 80%, he quickly and non-controversially saves the government between $200B and $400B per year, that might've entrenched him as the kind of co-equal power within the administration that people were worried about back when they were calling him the co-president.
nit: "When he voted SB 1047, Gavin Newsom commissioned The California Report on Frontier AI Policy. That report has now been released. "
typo? "voted" should be "vetoed"?

DeFi: How US Equities have come on-chain via Robinhood, Superstate, and Dinari
OpenAI is a token on Arbitrum
GM Fintech Futurists,
Interesting times. There's a cost to be incurred here by Robinhood or Superstate to develop the network. Given Robinhood's size and stature, might be easier for them. To start with, the bid-ask spreads might be a lot higher given the shallow liquidity. Might provide arbitrage opportunities between on-chain and off-chain, or even between different chains, since the liquidity will likely remain fragmented (on each protocol).

US Army appoints Palantir, Meta, OpenAI execs as Lt. Colonels
By Wyatt Reed - June 18, 2025
What?? Lt. Colonels? No shaved heads? No basic training? No 10-mile hikes to whip them into shape? No military indoctrination sessions? No West Point throw our hats into the air end of graduation tradition?
Whew! Man—things HAVE changed. This adds a whole new meaning to the once popular mid-20th century saying: “Give me a guy in uniform.”
I guess the good news for these talented tech geniuses is that their covered. Whatever demonic, soulless surveillance applications they develop and implement, they’re not liable. They can’t be sued by the private sector because they can always claim, “Hey—we’re not responsible. We were just following orders and doing our jobs.”
“Detachment 201,” what an odd coincidence. For those of you with questioning minds, this name is not to be confused, and is no way related to Event 201, the 2019 tabletop pandemic simulation exercise hosted by the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a few months before the real-time March 2020 announcement of the Covid-19 “pandemic.”

Your Laptop Is Already More Powerful Than OpenAI Was Two Years Ago
In just a few minutes, you can run a personal AI entirely on your own laptop, and instantly go from AI User to AI Expert
Last week, I was on a 5 hour flight with no WiFi, and I still managed to debug a software project, analyze a sensitive pitch deck, and workshop some pretty crazy ideas for positioning one of our portfolio companies—all using AI running entirely on my laptop. No internet. No sensitive data shared with a third party. No running into usage limits or buying…
Thank you.
