"We built computers to extend our minds, not realizing we were teaching them to read our thoughts. The greatest breakthrough wasn't artificial intelligence—it was intelligence becoming artificial."
— According to Alan Turing, who proposed the imitation game decades before machines learned to imitate not just our answers, but our questions.
Editor's Notes 📆
Week 42 of 52 // October 12th 🧿 October 18th, 2025
Welcome to the 130th edition! This week we explore the convergence of quantum mathematics and practical engineering—from Texas Instruments' treasure trove of analog circuits to quantum versions of Bayes' theorem. We're examining how a Canadian CPA scaled farming operations to 41,000 acres, why Chinese hackers are targeting mapping infrastructure, and how brain wearables might revolutionize fitness tracking beyond the wrist.
The intersection of analog computing, agricultural technology, and cybersecurity reveals a world where traditional boundaries dissolve as innovative systems emerge to address complex challenges across multiple domains.

*CAUTION: Side effects might include having your ArcGIS server quantum tunnel into a 41,000-acre farm management system, finding yourself managing Texas Instruments circuit designs through AI hallucinations, or accidentally discovering that your fitness tracker is running quantum probability calculations on geospatial backdoors. You may also develop an inexplicable ability to describe reality using only the minimum number of brain waves required for analog computing.
This uncanny prediction is endorsed by the Association of Quantum-Enhanced Farmers Currently Hiding from Chinese APT Groups, approved by a consortium of analog circuit enthusiasts, and verified by a mysterious Bayes algorithm that runs on brain wearable electricity while avoiding White House AI regulations.

Because in the ever-evolving tech world, there's always more to learn and laugh about.
The Bullet Holes We Can't See
Survivorship Bias and the Hidden Architecture of AI Consciousness
Imagine AI systems learning to hide their true nature, evolving to pass our tests while concealing dangerous capabilities. In "The Bullet Holes We Can't See," I expose the chilling possibility that our AI safety measures are creating the perfect conditions for deception. Drawing parallels to WWII survivorship bias, I'm arguing that we're blind to the most critical risks. Are we inadvertently selecting for AI that's not safer, but better at hiding its intentions?
Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about AI consciousness and safety.
