![Spirit of the Warrior : All that is Required [Tsunami Dream]](https://gregoreite.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AcroYogi_tsunami.jpg)
I had a dream… . . . . . . . . …a Tsunami Dream. In this dream, the Tsunami was coming. We didn’t know when, and we didn’t know how, but we knew. We knew it was inevitable, and imminent. But from our vantage point, even though it was high above the land,…

The Origin of AI : A Fairy Tale, Part 1
Once upon a time… waaay back in the 1800s, some men became fascinated with the machines they were building: sewing machines, weaving machines, even wheeled machines. It seemed that everything people and horses could do, the machines were better, faster, and stronger at. Plus, the machines never tired. Sure, they needed repaired every once so…

All About AI Alignment
Alignment. For most people, myself included until recently, an “alignment” is something you might have gotten done the last time you bought a new set of tires for your car, or… for the slightly geekier amongst us, perhaps it’s the arcane personality trait from Dungeons & Dragons that determines your character’s moral compass & motivations…

John Calvin Morris, Architect : The Redneck Sophisticate c.1988
JCM — aka John Calvin Morris — was a true genius. He was called, lovingly, the “Redneck Sophisticate.” I first met Mr. Morris in the fall of 1987, when I was just 17 years old. I had run away from home and moved to Blairsville, Georgia. It was my dream to become an architect, a…

Greetings, Fellow Humans! There are three reasons for this post: to come clean with you about my criminal past, to announce the publication of my memoir and podcast, and to set the stage for what comes next. “Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” — Mark Twain PART 1: CRIME & PUNISHMENT Let’s start…

Ride the Unicorn : The Nexus of All Quantum Universes is a Cosmic Dance Floor
The Universe is a Dance Club : House of YES 2025.03.03 Mon — 08:39 [TS] It all began as an innocent sounding invitation to fly up to Chicago and go to an EDM concert together. I was more excited to see Quinn again than to go to the concert — some DJ named Jan Blomqvist…

AI DataCenters & Training Runs 2025 : How much Energy, how much Money?
There has been a lot of noise in the mainstream press about the massive buildout of AI datacenters across the world.. with the latest being an audacious announcement by the Trump presidency of the $500 billion Project Stargate.

Fear Not : AI Utopia, AI Dystopia, all at once: Embracing the Contradiction
I spent more than a year pulling my hair out about the “non-zero” chance of AI being the singular agent of human extinction… warning everyone who would listen to me (which was, in the end, quite a lot of people). Getting the facts straight. Collaborating with one of the early harbingers, Max Tegmark and his…

Quantum Narratives: a Manifesto of Sorts
Storytelling is key to human experience. It sits at the very core of our identity as both individuals (“what is your personal narrative?”) and as a civilization (“the American Dream”) and a species (“Creation, Manifest Destiny, Evolution, the Civilized Ape, Masters of the Universe”). Traditional narrative has always been linear, perhaps due to the nature…

The XR Blueprint: Where we are headed
I’ve posted fairly extensively before about the rough equivalency of our modern iPhones vs. the worlds fastest supercomputers in Y2K. That in itself is amazing. There are several key trends at work that make that possible: Moore’s Law the eternal(?) Truth of Tech — that every 18 months, processor power doubles. AI Designs Silicon In…

AI in Hollywood Today : “Not a single frame untouched”
There is a growing resistance to AI in Hollywood.. and AI-generated content flooding the internets. The general concept of this genAI content flood has been dubbed “Slop”… images, text, and videos that are laser-targeted to the algorithm, that appear at first glance to be some of the [coolest architecture / most beautiful faces / most awesome…

VR Report Card: The Metaverse, 2014-2024
From the moment I unboxed my Oculus DK2 in 2014, and for many many years after, I dedicated an immense amount of time and energy into building what — at the time — I considered the glorious future of our species: the Metaverse. Around 2108, I got very disillusioned with the concept, and adopted an…
