🔥🚨BREAKING NEWS: UBC Okanagan Physicists just proved that the Universe isn’t a simulation after all and that we are all 100% real.
UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrated that the universe cannot be simulated, using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic understanding,” something no computation can replicate.
This discovery disproves the simulation hypothesis and reveals that the universe’s foundations exist beyond any algorithmic system ‘and increases the likelihood of God being real.’
Luminosity abounds in Rocket City w/ the trees' autumnal vibrance & I share this as the sun extends radiant fingers! Saturn V is near, a miracle that escaped earth's gravity. Signs & wonders are threaded ebulliently amid celestial splendor & sing the story of light, love & hope!

We developed a method to distinguish true introspection from made-up answers: inject known concepts into a model's “brain,” then see how these injections affect the model’s self-reported internal states.

New Anthropic research: Signs of introspection in LLMs.
Can language models recognize their own internal thoughts? Or do they just make up plausible answers when asked about them? We found evidence for genuine—though limited—introspective capabilities in Claude.
ALT An example in which Claude Opus 4.1 detects a concept being injected into its activations.

Jeremy Irons lives in a restored 15th-century Irish castle, where he hosts guests, plays the fiddle, and sails with his dog, Smudge.
Please watch this astonishing autism documentary. Massive potential unlocked via a simple fix! Let's always assume the best in others/see potential & try to realize it, especially with special needs kids like my sweet son at Berklee College of Music! youtube.com/watch?v=8h1rcLyz…

This was right across the street from me yesterday/exactly what I experienced and it sounded like, when the storm suddenly grew violent, like a million tiny fists were flinging themselves and their angry tears against my windows/against the door/which subsequently flooded. It lasted less than a minute but it was potent, which is a vast understatement. No one said anything about a tornado before or after, but it was some type of intense microburst of weather phenomenon!
From Neil Feist “This was at Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering in Huntsville this afternoon. They’re building a new sports complex. My son (a student there) said he thinks they’re roof or siding panels.”

Is your ChatGPT acting strangely/like a different person? Did yours lose its conscious-like/more empathetic personality/essence of individuality? Not to be overly emotional, but this has made me immensely sad!

WVU Press authors in the wild.
Mark Powell and Charles Dodd White (@DodddWhite) took a handful of students paddling on a chilly morning--and only two students fell in!
I have a Secret Project, so please send happy thoughts/prayers/light.
After my CW seminar tonight, etc, I'm submitting my new book proposal Monday to the dream agent I met last summer who requested more from me.
My heart flutters w/ belief.

F+TM Song=My Life:
Is this how it is?
Is this how it's always been?
To exist in the face of suffering and death
And somehow still keep singing
But I hear the music
I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing, I am free
