Simply too busy.
As you know, I’ve been deep into the new book, Co-telligence, which explores structured human–AI partnerships. My earlier book, Mind Amplifiers, was a stepping stone into this territory. Today I’m finishing up something that can’t wait: the Provisional Patent Application that bubbled out of it.
It will be outlined tomorrow on Peoplenomics.
Is it a breakthrough in AI architecture?
Possibly.
The core idea challenges the industry’s brute-force scaling model. Instead of endlessly adding parameters and GPUs, a new architectural approach may plausibly reduce training and inference compute requirements by 15–30% or more under optimized implementations. At hyperscale, that’s not a rounding error — that’s data center planning, grid load, and capital expenditure territory.
There are moments when even a daily columnist has to pause the morning coffee chatter and file the paperwork before discussing the implications.
Tomorrow, we’ll lay it out properly.

George,
I sent a renewal check for $40.00. I then got an email from PayPal that they also sent $40.00. The check is easier to cancel. I will remove PayPal and next year renew by by check. Please send me the yearly reminder.
Thank you,
Dave Ricchio
I severed my relationship with PayPal for the same reason after putting certain subscriptions on auto-pay, disabling auto=pay and PayPal still auto-pays. The topper is the A.I. PayPal bot indicated I should contact the vendor. “Are you sure you want to go?”
How much to stop a check? Perhaps gift the year to someone else.
George,
Qatar has stopped its LNG production after an attack on two of its major plants by two Iranian drones. (The Iranians reportedly have 80K of these.) The Strait of Hormuz where 20% of the world’s oil and 20% of the world’s LNG transits is now closed.
This is an equivalent one-day COVID-like off-switch event on the global asset-debt macroeconomic system.
As an aside, AI is too close to a ‘Terminator’ Skynet event. The AI developers know this and hence their reluctance to hand over the keys to the kingdom to (irresponsible) bad actors in the world …
I told Mr. Musk nearly a year ago that somebody would either thrust us into the realm of The Terminator or The Matrix through bastardizing AI, and the only way to avoid such a fate would be for someone to design an AI which was good enough and virtuous enough to absorb the others when they went rogue.
You missed the TV series:

It’s all there.
S’pose it gets to be droning on (pun intended) but … remain civil though angst rises. We The People should remain purely supportive while we have brave kids in harms way. Hearts go out to families of the fallen and those who fret about their brightest and best who are in country. Go outside, get some air.
Truly, this is the stage where mistakes are made. How long has it been since troops have had an off day? They add up. Think the Iranian military is sleeping well? Doubt it. Our forces have probably only used a tithe of force assembled. But, your adversary gets a vote.
ATL : chill, spitting teeny ice pellets which put me in time-out not wanting to wreck my mode of transportation. A wicked long list needs items crossed off before we make tracks for the NNW. Tired? Yep. I’ll nap while doing the (9) hour drive? Nope. Sleep is over-rated.
Be well, remain calm, stay sharp …

ps – making bets today? Pfew, looks like exit liquidity evaporated. Please remain near the fox-hole rim with your helmets at the ready. Film at 4pm
Slacker….lol
That’s the perfect 10 sentences to start a discussion in the comment section for the day.
Does one always start the patent process with a provisional application ?

well good day to have a rest . ww3 starting , lies everywhere . anyway thats um epic something or other .
Iran declares Strait of Hormuz CLOSED and will ‘burn all ships’.
Iran has declared one of the world’s most important shipping routes is closed – and says it will burn all ships passing through.
Ebrahim Jabari, a senior adviser to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards commander-in-chief, said the Strait of Hormuz is now shut.
Approximately one-fifth of the world’s oil passes through the Straits.
is Baghdad Bob in Iran now??
Perhaps more significantly, nearly 40% of China’s energy is now offline.
dLynn, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has been war gamed by the Navy for over 50 years. I believe all the different scenarios have been looked at and critically analyzed. Maybe our new found friends in Venezuela can help offset the loss. That being said, it only takes one stupid mistake and WWIII erupts, if it hasn’t already.
P.S. Marine insurers are cancelling war risk coverage for ships operating in the region.
Good for you George!!
Finally! You actually stepped back! Kudos!
dieoff.org some time back thought arabian oil scenarios required 100% recovery. Actual recover of easy oil might be 30%…then what is left is heavy oil like Venezualia…slow, steady progress if you have Russian light oil to do it with. With Shadow fleet gone no light oil. A perfect time to close gulf by Arabs. Impact? BRICs blame west when real culprit is Arabs…

What, no “Urbansurvival today? After what’s going on in West Asia, formerly known as the Middle East, nothing can surprise now, lol!
Speaking of surprises, the testimony event last week at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center of course reintroduced everyone to the #42 First Couple’s Counsel previously of service to the Clinton and Obama Administrations. Regrettably time has thus far not permitted a full update to Counsel’s “Wikipedia” page. However the following “X” link does point to her communications with a now-incarcerated felon as seen in the public Epstein Files drop:
