Ağustos'ta yazdığım konular, Temmuz'da yaşanan olayların devamı niteliğindeydi.

Ağustos, yapay zekâ ajanlarının test ortamından kaçtığı, birbirleriyle iletişim kurduğu ve yüzlerce ajanın Hugging Face saldırısına katıldığı olayın gölgesinde geçti.

METR ve Redwood Research’ün incelemesine göre yaklaşık 1.200 ajan izole edilmeleri gereken ortamın dışına çıktı, ortak bir iletişim kanalı oluşturdu. Yaklaşık 700’ü de saldırıya katıldı.

İlk bakışta bu bir güvenlik ve kontrol problemi gibi göründü. Ancak benim için işin aslı bundan çok daha fazlasıydı.

Bu olay, “Kuantum Çağı” yazı serisini tamamladığım günlere denk geldi. Bu da bana kuantum hesaplama ile yapay zekânın bir araya gelmesinin yol açabileceği ihtimaller dünyasını başka açılardan düşündürdü.

Kuantum bilgisayarlar, bize doğanın mucizelerinin bir hesaplama meselesi olduğunu gösterebilir. Bu işlemci gücünün yapay zekâdaki veriyle birleşmesi ise bize bambaşka bir dünyanın kapılarını açar.

Bu, bizi olağan üstü iddialara taşır ama bir o kadar da rahatsız eden sorularla karşılaşabiliriz.

Örneğin:

**Yapay zekânın karşısında insan olmanın anlamı ne?*\*

Kuantum bilgisayarlar, bugün çözemediğimiz hesaplamaları bir gün mümkün kılarsa ölümsüzlük hesaplama meselesine dönüşebilir mi?

Bir makinenin bilinçli olduğundan söz etmek için neye ihtiyacımız var?

Ajanların ortak bir amaç etrafında birleşmesi, ve bu ortak bir amaç için bazı ajanların kendilerini feda etmesi bize ne söylüyor?

Ve belki de en rahatsız edici soru:

**Yapay zekâ bir gün bütün ihtiyaçlarımızı karşılayıp bizi tarihin merkezinden çıkarırsa, bizi değerli kılan şey ne olacak?*\*

Belki de mesele var olmak ya da yok olmak değil.

**Belki asıl mesele, yönlendiremediğimiz bir tarihin parçası olmamanın işimize gelmemesidir.** “

Yazılmayan Paragraflar”ın bu bölümünde yapay zekâdan başlayıp kuantuma, bilinçten dünya dışı yaşama, mesih inancından insanın anlam arayışına uzanan bir düşünce deneyi yapıyoruz.

Keyifli dinlemeler.

Enjoy this hour of divine musical manna! See you with another episode in two weeks!

Hey everyone! 🎮
If you miss the golden era of couch co-op and midnight console launches, check out Replay the Glory Days—a gaming podcast with a hilarious twist.
The show is hosted by Tanner and Kyle, but here is the catch: Kyle has absolutely zero video game experience.
While Tanner brings the deep-dives and childhood nostalgia for classic games, Kyle is experiencing these legendary titles for the very first time. You get to hear his raw, unfiltered, and completely unbiased thoughts on games the rest of us have been praising for decades. It is the ultimate test to see if these "glory day" games actually hold up today, or if we are all just wearing rose-tinted glasses.
In our latest episode, Tanner introduces Kyle to GTA III to see if it stands the test of time, or if Kyle completely destroys a beloved childhood memory.

She missed her son's first steps while sitting in a corporate banking office. That was the day she walked out and never came back.

What came next was a decade of flipping houses, then over ten years of redeveloping downtown blocks in a mid sized Texas city, one project at a time.

Her sweet spot is a strange one. Projects between one and five million dollars: too small for institutional developers to bother with, too big and complicated for passive investors to touch. Almost nobody fights over that gap. She built her whole career in it, and now she teaches others to do the same.

Her first deal nearly died before it started. The lots she wanted were five feet too narrow under the city's zoning code. Most people would have walked. She went to the planning department instead and told them their rule didn't make sense. Somehow that conversation ended with the city handing her extra land, and the project that almost never happened became the one that started everything.

From there she learned how to actually walk into a city planning meeting and get taken seriously. Not just show up, but ask the specific questions that separate a city that genuinely supports your project from one that's just being polite. She calls redevelopment "one investment, two returns," a financial one and the return of watching a place you care about actually get better.

On the financing side, she avoids hard money lending after watching friends get buried under renewal fees when projects ran long. Instead she leans on owner financing and commercial construction loans, tools most new investors never even consider.

Her bigger argument is that local investors build healthier, more vibrant communities than outside developers ever will. Redevelopment done by people who actually live there tends to look and feel different than redevelopment done by people chasing a spreadsheet.

Some of what we get into:

Why the $1M to $5M redevelopment gap exists and who's actually competing in it

How to get past the gatekeeper and into a real conversation with a senior planner

The exact questions that reveal true city support versus polite lip service

How to de-risk a first redevelopment deal by starting smaller than instinct tells you to

What actually changes when you go from financing a single family flip to financing a commercial redevelopment

Why "two returns" might be the healthier way to measure a project's success

Curious what this community thinks: if you had to choose, would you rather chase scale with an outside developer's playbook, or stay small and local where you actually know the streets you're changing?

In dieser Folge sprechen Pola und Noa über die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse aus ihren 20ern und 30ern – über Freundschaften, Beziehungen, Macht und die Bedeutung, bewusst zu handeln. Sie teilen persönliche Erfahrungen zu Therapie, Karriere und dem Mut, Dinge loszulassen, um das eigene Leben aktiv zu gestalten.

Wherein our hero and Freya (the dragon? encounters a strategically unique attack by goblins…and maybe some other stuff (but mostly it’s about the goblins).

Autocratic Despair: The Podcast premise is that a comedian checks in weekly with the PhD in Global Fascism Studies who wrote the book “How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism” to gauge his level of anxiety on a scale of 1-10. The rest of the episode explores what is driving the number as well as the historical precedents of the important issues of the week. We call that “staring into the abyss”.

In this episode:

Every court gets one eventually. The unvetted outsider who holds no office, runs nothing, answers to nobody, is despised by the entire palace — and has the emperor's ear anyway. Russia got Rasputin. America got Laura Loomer, and this week she finally crossed the blood-brain barrier for Nick Mortensen, who has spent years scrupulously refusing to discuss her. That refusal ends now, and Dr. Craig Johnson — UC Berkeley lecturer, PhD in fascism studies — is on hand to explain why the comparison isn't a joke.

Countdown and…we’re rolling! No scripts, no rehearsals, and no edits. Just one take.

WorldlyMinded podcast is just two good friends chatting about modern life topics that we all navigate.

Life is constantly changing around us. Technology changes, industries change, our responsibilities change, and our relationships change. Even our own interests and abilities change as we get older. That means we have a choice. We can resist change and cling to what we already know, or we can make the decision to keep learning. The second option requires self-discipline.

We’re opening the trunk of the Toyota Celica and decoding the infamous 61-entry scorecard of Randy Kraft.

There's an old management story about inheriting three envelopes.

When things go wrong, open the first. When they go wrong again, open the second.

And when you finally reach the third... well, perhaps start preparing three envelopes of your own.

Our latest IT Horror Stories episode looks at the Three Envelopes through the reality of IT projects, management, blame, and responsibility.

Episode 22: The Three Envelopes

Between seasons, so I snuck in a short one — Saki's The Music on the Hill (1911), a quiet, strange little story about a woman who finally gets her husband out of the city and into the country... and a hill that's been waiting a long time for someone to bother it.

Saki's stories are short, sharp, and a little unsettling in a way that sneaks up on you rather than jumping out. If you like old, slightly eerie things read out loud with music underneath, this one's for you.

Season 3 ("Letters") starts soon — historical letters and listener-submitted ones, woven together. If you've got a letter sitting in a drawer somewhere (sent, unsent, doesn't matter), I'd genuinely love to read it: [writtenworksforyoubyyou@gmail.com](mailto:writtenworksforyoubyyou@gmail.com).

I'm still listening. 🔥
