Re:Sealed Tomb Filled with Paintings and Inscriptions Discovered in Egypt

I was in Egypt in 2011, a couple months after the big riots. I was advised not to go and went anyway. It was well worth it. I went to the Great Pyramid at ten or eleven one morning and there were maybe a dozen people in the entire area. I went inside it completely alone, and the guard let me lie down inside the sarcophagus in the King's Chamber. I don't have a word for what the energy was like in there. Palpable to say the least. If I could do it over I'd have stayed in longer. I hired a driver and did the Red Pyramid and Saqqara the same way, alone. People can debate the ethics of opening tombs all day, but going inside one is something else. A new one still turning up in 2026 is just cool.

Some sly marketing by Elon. What looks like a gift actually adds to his pocketbook. The agent is free but it runs on his paid models by default, so every task it does spends tokens with him.

Typical IPO pattern. Hyped IPOs shoot up and then correct, some correct more than others. Traders take their profits. Nothing new here, just bigger headlines because it's a big name. The bigger the name, the bigger the hype.
Re:The LLM Critics Are Right. I Use LLMs Anyway

The critics are absolutely right, LLMs have a lot of faults. But they also have a few great benefits. I use them every day for the benefits, fully aware of the faults, and I watch those faults like a hawk.

Thanks for the info. This is very scary shit. If a real person gave up these secrets they would lose their job. But the AI basically gets a patch and keeps on going, not even a slap on the wrist. A major lesson learned here would be minimize what you reveal to these models. And I must say I am fully guilty of this myself, so I probably need to change the way I operate.

Booking a flight on the website and then being told I need the app just to see my boarding pass drives me nuts.
