13 years together today, and still in love! Time goes by in a flash... Photo from 2015. 🎉🎂
My grandmother passed away 30 years ago. She would have been 115 today. This is an old photo of me and her, when I was 12. I used AI to enhance the resolution. I hadn't seen her in such high-res since she was last alive... I remember this moment as if it had happened yesterday.
In #2025, #EssentiaFoundation has reached new heights in the breadth and depth of its coverage, and has established itself as a significant media voice in both science and philosophy. We're particularly delighted with our conference in Engelberg. The plans for #2026 are even more ambitious!
Hello there, nice to meet you! And hey, long time no see... For some reason, I am deep into bridging the illusory walls of time right now...
If I live another 35+ years, this is what you may see ;-) I like this old man's kind face, I can see myself wearing it ;-)
We wish all of you a wonderful Christmas! (Especially the Floki fans out there 😜)
There is an unexpected pleasure, at this stage of my life, in being on the front page of my country's main financial journal NOT because of my philosophy work, but because of my engineering/entrepreneurship output, my early loves. A long life arch is closing by returning to its origins...
We did it, and it was a blast! Our invitation-only 2025 conference may have been a seminal moment, a first step on the road to science's first predictive theory of the noumena. Thanks everyone for participating and contributing so much! #EssentiaFoundation #engelberg #engelbergswitzerland
Ahh, now I feel at home... The setup is almost complete, missing only the NeXT speaker, which is on the way...
A youth dream come true. I was finishing high-school when this came out, but the price was way above my most daring dreams of consumption. This machine was a market flop, but a triumph of pure design and computer engineering.
"At the AI Infra Summit, European AI chip startup Euclyd emerged from stealth mode with some details of an ambitious hardware architecture which the company said will offer lower power and lower cost per token than existing solutions." www.eetimes.com/startup-to-t...
Empty space, it doesn't matter how much, means just that: empty space.
Euclyd, my AI company, has just come out of stealth mode. We're doing AI responsibly, for people and environment alike. Our upcoming CWS12 server rack will do the job of over 100 NVIDIA Blackwell racks (!), for less power consumption than a single NVIDIA rack. euclyd.ai

Here's my upcoming conversation with Swami Sarvapriyananda in Amsterdam: www.samsarabooks.com/swami-sarvap...
(3 of 3) ...but it IS starting to become an interesting thought in the mind of nature... AGI truly is just around the corner. The world will be an unrecognisable place only a decade from now.
(final of many) ...Peace is a good thing, a very good and important thing. We're peaceful people here. Whoever disagrees with us is a bloody warmonger. This is our world, our time...
Twelve years together this month, and still in love! Photo from the summer of 2013.
