If you are curious why I’m always on the road this is why. One of the most important problems of our current moment is getting our historical commons online & machine readable so all of humanity has access
Why so much of history is still offline?
Chaotic Capital Managing Partner Julie Fredrickson (@AlmostMedia) on the archives that never made it online, from cultural records to patents no one technically owns, and why the Herculaneum scrolls show what's possible.

Since it seems like a lot of folks are interested in this topic here is a preview of what myself & a very capable team of founders are working on open-info.ai/
A bit of a teaser to soft launch happening

“Well, I’m still convinced that we actually haven’t incorporated the vast majority of human context and information. Digitisation is a much larger effort than we’re giving it credit for.”

2nd time I’ve been woken by an alert. 1st was a preparedness drill in response to a drone incursion last week in Lithuania.
Today was a yellow alert suggesting a possible drone. Vilnius Airport closed. All clear issued in an hour 🚨

I am so impressed by the Baltic response to the dangers of modern grey zone conflict. Incredible technical foresight efforts. Americans should take note. I drove the Sulwalki gap last week. Traffic was dense but smooth & freight oriented. theatlantic.com/magazine/202…

I will be in the region for a bit & regret not having brought a Starlink w me but I ordered one. Life here otherwise feels normal. I watched children’s hockey practice at a mall while eating Asian fusion alongside their parents at a rink in a beautiful mall. I saw an esports arena on my drive to my hotel.
I went for a walk around old town on Friday night. Professionals were at bars chatting & drinking after work. Teenagers were out in public parks socializing & flirting before dark. At the hotel attractive millenials dressed up to go out.
I was in Tallinn three years ago when their undersea cables were cut (researching singularity metamodern thought ironically). Almost no disruption. I was there during 10/7 which felt much bigger as I watched it live as Israel and Estonia are on the same time zone.
Americans would easily recognize the Lithuanian riflemen union who serve as the country’s “well organized militia” to use an American turn of phrase.
Indeed I almost feel bad that there is little I can do to contribute on that front. I can shoot & we are a hunting & gun owning family back home.
I have my first responder certifications w mass casualty training as it’s a sensible thing Montanans do for wilderness preparedness but I’m not of much use except as someone interested in funding innovation. There is quite a bit of that to be seen on the ground in the Baltics.

Really interesting interview with @AlmostMedia...and a first mover on "Right to Compute" as an issue of Free Speech.
She talks about a range of topics here, that are really interesting and worth a listen.
"The only way we actually solve problems is by experiencing them and mitigating them."
Julie Fredrickson (@AlmostMedia) is the Managing Partner of Chaotic Capital and advocated for Montana's Right to Compute Act, the first state law of its kind.
The conversation covers what the encryption wars and nuclear power teach about regulating AI, why human data may become the most valuable asset online, and how to think clearly when AI can persuade at scale.
Out now on Infinite Loops, with host @jposhaughnessy.

But how much went into the fluffers?
Where does money invested into the AI buildout actually go?
For every $100 flowing into the supply chain:
- $50 to chips
- $20 to power
- $15 to networking
- $15 to cooling, buildings, and land

Luke has consistently acted on his faith and principles. We are lucky to have him speaking up on these campaigns
Back in April, I was accused by many fellow Christians of "not doing my duty", not "being at the table", and all kinds of other ridiculous things because my bullshit detector went off—I didn't want to be part of the charade and sign an NDA so Anthropic could pick my brain for 8 hours. The new NYT piece is very good, and reveals plenty that should disturb everyone, but I promise you it's not even close to being the full story.
Everyone who accepted the invitation and then used their attendance for clout-farming, as "AI insiders", should be embarrassed. That's exactly what Anthropic was hoping they'd do, and why they were betting that their invitation would be irresistible, like a golden wrapped Wonka bar inviting them to the chocolate factory.

We had a great time covering a lot of exciting topics from compute rights and nuclear energy to the human readable web versus the machine readable web

“I think compute is as much a right as speech or property rights. … But we don’t necessarily need to have new punishments for old crimes. Theft is still theft, murder is still murder.”
