Frupdate

MUST-READ X/Twitter thread on the state of AI as of February 2026 (long but worth it)

That may be the most important and timely link I have posted in 22 years of doing this blog. I’m therefore tempted to just write “back tomorrow” and call it a day so you won’t be distracted by other info.

I gotta mention one other thing, though: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested for improper conduct during his years as a trade envoy. The former Prince Andrew, Duke of York is his country’s first senior royal to be arrested in modern times.

I stayed out the past 3 nights in a row carrying a heavy backpack around. EXHAUSTED. Back tomorrow with more news.
