Coming soon: The Joy of Pancakes - a Pancake Art Food Truck!
I went viral for pancake art a decade ago; Now my wife and I want to launch a gourmet Pancake Art mini food truck.

My wife and I are preparing to kickstart a pancake art food truck. It’ll be a combination of live pancake portraiture/performance with a menu of gourmet pancakes (like matcha with brown sugar boba, or lemon cream soufflé!) - you can help just by signing up for prelaunch notifications!

when i think about AI, i think about the universal approximation theorem, erdõs problems and imo medals, rate of change, and the things i can do with frontier language models like opus 4.5 and the insane internal complexity
in 2025 most ppl think of “annoying slop video” or “copilot win11 popup”

Hungry....
I am really craving warm pancakes with bacon and country fried steak with eggs and a small side of hash browns. Also a fruit cup.
Just imagining the warm pancake is comforting. It's fluffy, soft, warm, a bit nutty and with some butter and syrup. Like a soft cloud comforter

Send that text. Record that voice memo. Someone just sent me one that made me tear up. You never know what someone is going through. Though my thing is public, you never know. ❤️

bro I pay like $1200 a year for health insurance NOW, subsidized by tax credits and that’s just my premium not my additional out of pocket costs from actually *checks notes* going to the goddamn doctor
It’s a universal health care program,
Michael, how much can it cost? $100?

it will be good to keep this in mind for constitution 2.0
One issue is the constitution being written by educated men, imagined that future citizens and leaders would be as educated as them or more, and that therefore their future was always going to be one that respected unwritten but agreed upon centuries of English legal tradition

“They think they are all powerful” is usually called “foreshadowing”
There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.

A lot of what people imagine politically for this country can't actually happen under the current Democratic party. That's something that I don't see lots of people actually reckoning with. There is no way to do most of the things that some people want to do through the Democratic party.

I’m a pancake artist. My job would require one of those fancy servo arms trained on human motor control, probably a while off still, but I have assumed it will be mechanically replaceable for decades. The value of your work will have to come from your relationship to the community you serve
I don’t think LLMs automate me out of work. But they’ve made me reckon with the idea that something plausibly will in my lifetime

The anti-AI perspective is ironic when you consider they’ve made a moral calculation and therefore forgo any benefits or utility the software could give them, making it doubly threatening to their livelihood. “Superpowers for all” replaces their job…& they reject the superpowers on moral grounds.

I want to say something flippant like “they’re so cucked by capital” but anti-AI people are attached to their jobs because, yes, they can’t see an alternative and they feel they’re barely hanging on as is. I hate their venom - it’s actually stupid - but stress makes ppl stupid, so, 🤷🏻♂️
The leftism we need: automation is awesome as it eliminates human drudgery.
The leftism we have: human drudgery must be preserved to protect the system by which people sell their labor for sustenance.

Marx cheered industrialization and the elimination of human drudgery as he thought it hastened the day of revolution.
Some modern day leftists fear it instead because they can't imagine a world where people's livelihoods didn't depend on selling their labor.

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

Workshopping “USers”
it looks like crap and immediately antagonizes a good chunk of us. if that's your goal, carry on. if that's not your goal, consider "Americans"
If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

Wella and I will be in south Texas next weekend. If you’re in the valley, come get some pancake art from us!

Evergreen sentiment
there is a culture on here of believing you can sneer your way into or out of anything, you don’t have to understand anything, and it’s virtuous to act like a 1980s high school movie bully
scorn was an effective weapon for the monkey jpeg NFT shit because it was effectively a status good, generative AI is a tool that millions get utility out of daily and you can't sneer your way out of that.

“AI is useless and there’s no reason to use it” this is actually mind blowing stuff
I generated this infographic with the new Google Nano Banana Pro AI.
All I said was "Look up the history of Bluesky, Berduck, and the hellthread, then create a detailed educational infographic explaining The Duckening. with a timeline" and it searched the internet got the facts and one-shotted this
