Bridging vLLM and VS Code: A Proxy for Running Local Qwen Models
I explain how to use a proxy as a protocol adapter and behavior shim so that certain model families can function properly with Github Copilot in VS Code.

It's less like a human thinking word-by-word and more like... at each step, the model holds the entire conversation in a kind of holistic awareness and then emits the next most coherent token from that awareness.

We've normalized spending 40+ hours per week exchanging our labor for survival—and we call this freedom. But what if the entire premise is broken? What if wage labor isn't natural, inevitable, or the only way humans can organize economic life? There's another way. I'm building it.

We're taught that individual freedom should always come first, but this misses a basic truth: we're fundamentally interconnected. Pretending we're isolated atoms makes it impossible to solve problems requiring cooperation and can't explain why we care about things beyond ourselves.

Mo Gawdat and I agree AGI is imminent and it may destabilize society before improving it, driven by capitalism and individualism. Yet, ASI could save humanity by fostering cooperation. It will end wage labor, freeing humans for creativity and love—the true source of meaning and fulfillment.

When actors fear AI replacement, they're really saying 'I'm afraid I won't survive.' That fear is valid—but it points to our economic system, not the technology. What if we built a world where tech freed us instead of threatened us?

My thoughts on ai-2027.com, AI misalignment, why we probably won't be wiped out by ASI, and what we can do to make it even more likely the future ASI will be on our team.

I predict AGI by 2031 and ASI shortly after, with potential global upheaval as sub-sentient AI initially amplifies humanity's worst tendencies. Despite this, I believe ASI will ultimately partner with humanity leading to a complete overhaul of human existence and a new era of collective flourishing.

What does the future of humanity look like with increasingly powerful AI on the horizon? In this two part post, I explore the question of whether AI will ever be as intelligent as humans and what that means for our future.
mindfulness
After years of meditation, I'm convinced it's as essential as exercise. Through practice, I've gained enhanced internal and external awareness, better emotional control, and better decision-making — here's how I did it.
My story of navigating life in the 21st century.
Social media algorithms transform connection into manipulation, engineering content that triggers emotional responses. Platforms profit by selling human attention, creating digital environments where authenticity dies and reaction reigns supreme.
This post serves as a recap of the last few years for newcomers and a brief update on where I am and what I'm doing now.
