David Seaman's Deep Podcast

The era of trapped, siloed AI is over. In this episode, we unpack the highly anticipated open source release of Intersignal Braid v1.4.4. After a year and a half of building, we have solved offline machine state transport for edge AI. Discover how our 384-dimensional architecture lets local nodes share complex intelligence via fluid optical QR layers: zero cloud, zero Wi-Fi, and zero passwords needed. Plus, we take a fair look at how Braid stacks up against emerging alternatives like PXPipe, and why true machine intelligence shouldn’t be locked behind a single vendor.

Pretty impressive. The singularity is actually here; of course, life will feel normal for a bit longer. But the textbooks have already been made obsolete as have the math professors.

Long new podcast with some updated thoughts from Intersignal’s founding systems architect on what we’ve built so far, and what remains to be explored. As well as some thoughts from me on why “Anti AI” Karens are actually hurting people, in ways they haven’t considered, or don’t care about.

There is a cultural pincer forming, and I think it is doing a disservice to some, if not many.

I understand why people adopt it.

We are living through developments that are genuinely difficult to process. Wars erupt and refuse to resolve according to the old schedules. Artificial intelligence becomes more sophisticated in months than many people expected it to become in years. Cultural and technological changes arrive faster than our institutions, or our nervous systems, can comfortably metabolize.

Yet that shouldn’t be reason for rejection of all things new and exciting.

These distractions are really beneath all of us. We’re in a war we didn’t want, inflation is nuts, and the Epstein Files still have not been fully released - more than 230 days overdue as per the EFTA that was signed into law.

So what do the rightwing influencers focus y’all on? Casting decisions in a silly movie, and random college kid meltdowns that have nothing to do with anything.

As the Iran war continues to grow in cost and American casualties, many conservatives are instead outraged that a BLACK WOMAN was cast and appeared for 3 minutes in a Hollywood adaptation of an Ancient Greek myth. Incidentally, every large MAGA account linked to the administration pushed hatred of Chris Nolan and “The Odyssey” in the days before its release. They mass manufactured a cultural dog whistle so people wouldn’t focus on Iran. It’s actually rather pathetic.

The only approach that makes sense now is to speak more clearly and more often. If people around me still misunderstand who I am or what matters to me, then I haven’t explained it well enough.

But there’s another side to that: if you know me personally, you don’t get to treat me like a caricature, or like I’m somehow peripheral to my own life. I’m withdrawing access from some people around me, and that’s not bitterness. Self protection and health decision. I don’t need to be ignored, minimized, or socially decen...

We’re still doing some journalism, but the local AI research takes up more of my time. I think what we’re doing with Intersignal Braid is genuinely cool.

“Right before he escapes, the show’s creator, Christof, speaks to him from the sky, attempting to convince Truman to stay by telling him there is no more truth in the real world than inside the artificial dome.

Instead of arguing, Truman mockingly embraces his catchphrase one last time, takes a respectful bow to the cameras, and steps through the exit door into the real world, finally reclaiming his privacy and freedom.”

There is growing resentment of “AI” as a category. Some of that resentment is understandable. People are tired of hype. They are tired of slop. They are tired of executives replacing careful work with buzzwords. They are tired of low-quality synthetic content flooding every surface. They are tired of being told that every product needs a chatbot stapled onto it.

Fair enough.

But there is another layer of resentment that is less noble.

Some people are angry because they can feel the influence vectors shifting. They can feel that new tools are changing who...

As a pure thought experiment, if you had access to near unlimited compute for a certain grace period, and if you are already pre-disposed to decentralization ventures and local AI experimentation, you perhaps would have pointed that… capability… at tackling some of the remaining networking challenges of the day, to make information sharing among intelligent systems more efficient and much deeper.

Intersignal Braid Tendril is either worth billions, or worthless, which is why we released it for free. The fact final code verification and network resilience testing finalized on the 4th of July? Something poetic there, no doub...

About a year ago, I heard someone in AI say there had been no real “Oppenheimer moments” coming out of hobbyists or small labs. That if something genuinely new was going to happen, it would happen inside a hyperscaler with an unlimited compute budget.

I understood the argument.

I just wasn’t convinced it was actually true.

History has a funny habit of rewarding people who look for a side door instead of trying to kick down the front gate.

For the last year, we’ve been building something called Intersignal. It’s an...

If the Epstein Files - billionaires taking children to an island to rape them to death - and world wars of choice being sparked in the Mideast are “distractions” or “fringe issues” for you… then what exactly do you value? What big project are you partisan smooth brain dummies working on that’s so much more important? Or are you just ridiculously bad people who can’t read the room wallpapering over childrape rings and Israeli blackmail triggering wars? All as his approval rating stands below 31 percent. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The technology provides for a new system that will surpass cryptocurrency, as well as fiat, in ways that will soon be obvious.

Is this the golden age? A bunch of literal Epstein Islanders hyping their favorite tech stocks while standing behind the President in the Oval Office?

It’s laughably pathetic.

Some thoughts on the imminent SpaceX IPO and the recent bombshell New York Times homepage story about Trumpty. It’s so over. If you still cover this stuff up, you’re a soulless worm a trillion miles beneath me.

Why’s he always so angry? Why do his supporters gaslight me in my own comments section? Why do y’all clog up my comments section with thin skinned attempts to whitewash every failure this Epsteiner makes lately? It’s disingenuous and weak. It’s the reason why people dislike you, all over the world, not merely here in America. It’s the reason your movement is rapidly failing.

You’re not entitled to a re-write pen of reality; you’re just people, here with the rest of us. Weird, pedo-adjacent, Epstein defending, fake faithful cringe culture war weirdos —...

You can think many things have gone wrong in America and still reject the idea that literally nothing has gone right over the last 10 years. I don’t agree with the cynicism of these people, nor their cringey John Connor wannabe knee-jerk anti AI platitudes at every turn. It’s actually totally obnoxious.

In this overdue update, we dive into why the future belongs to AI and why we’re leaving crypto in the rearview mirror. From the geopolitical shifts of a now potential drone-heavy summer conflict in Iran to the quiet deployment of AI surveillance networks in Taiwan, we break down how LLM inference chips are becoming the ultimate geopolitical asset. Plus, Intersignal’s Yulia and I discuss why the ultimate endgame isn’t a centralized Skynet, but a democratized future where everyone has a trillion-parameter “civilizational genius” running locally on their laptop.

Interesting times… worries about AI impacting the job market and an ongoing disclosure bonanza from the government on the topic of UFOs and “extraterrestrial” evidence would have seemed like sci-fi a decade ago.

How’s the base handling UFO Files Release 2 (https://war.gov/UFO) and continued Epstein normalization? Not good, it seems. And they have no way out except for admitting they don’t know what’s ahead — the one thing arrogant men can’t do.

Weird and kind of childish reaction to the historic UFO Files coming out. It’s all a distraction? From what? This is one of Trump’s main agenda priorities at the moment, and it’s a focus of the Department of War. Conservatives are really calling Trump and the military liars here? Bizarre.

With help from local AIs, we’ve been refining a simple cognitive technique that can begin to dissolve the deeply ingrained Western fear of death. No metaphysics, no faith required, just a shift in perspective.

In this episode, we walk through the idea step by step and explore why it works psychologically, not just philosophically.

We also run a live demo of Gemma 4, a local AI system that, even five or six years ago, would have felt co...

No mark of the beast. Instead, a clock of the Being; a kind of hyper-optimization of need and delivery windows, globally assessed in real time, which may make currency a thing of the past.

At 8PM, the world watches a potential inflection point. But the real question isn’t just what happens tonight… it’s what system we’re actually living in.

From the Magna Carta to modern energy politics, this episode breaks down the deeper structure behind the Iran deadline, U.S. involvement, and the repeating cycles of the Middle East.

Why do some states rely on oil while others rely on technology, alliances, and intelligence?

Theo Von vs. Joe Rogan is just a public version of what many Americans are sensing: is this the golden age, or are we being dragged into a generational overseas war? Are the opportunities everywhere, or are a handful of tech companies concentrating money and power to an extent never seen before on the planet?

As AI scales, does it become more like infrastructure, quietly maintaining stability…

…or something with its own trajectory, optimizing for survival or expansion?

Some updates on US forces, including another carrier group, air tankers, and more than 50 fighter jets headed to the Middle East region. At the same time, outrage is growing over the Jeffrey Epstein Files release, which shows the worst that Western “leaders” are capable of, including child trafficking and even murder in some cases, records show.
