Conversations about AI are febrile and have been for a while now. Everyone has different views.

It’s frustrating for me because not only do I empathise with all of you, in some ways I have every major position in my mind.

I find myself impossible, messed up. Niller-nally, retwixt, fragmented.

I briefly used an open source agentic programming tool with [1000 tokens/second](https://www.cerebras.ai/)
of a top Chinese model. It was like a drug pumped straight into my veins. I worked on
[artificial life](https://creatures.wiki/Francis_Irving) 27 years ago - we were trying to
do the same at CyberLife, just much earlier. Creation can be beautiful, and helpful, warm and
purposeful. There’s diseases to cure, climate models to optimise, software to make perfect
for each person.
