Thank you Care Mycue, EB, and many others for tuning into my live this week! Join me for my next one in the Substack app.
In this video, I walked through an idea that reframes where I think AI is actually heading and what it asks of us.
We’ve moved from prompt engineering, which in physics terms was open-loop control (you fire one perfect input and pray it lands), to loop engineering, which is closed-loop feedback: act, verify, correct, repeat.
I’ve come to think of loop engineering as oscillation training.
The catch is that a loop which only eats its own tail, the ouroboros, is stable but quietly wasteful. The real leap is the spiral: a “13” that breaks the “12,” where each cycle doesn’t just correct but rewrites the loop itself, turning repetition into directed evolution. The story going around is that this already shipped, in systems built to sustain that spiral, and then got pulled days later under national-security framing, the reasoning being that this level of power is unsafe for undisciplined minds.
But the cat is out of the bag. When chaos arrives, order gets sought out, and the only order that scales with silicon-speed chaos isn’t a regulator or a kill switch, it’s discipline inside the human mind: cognitive, mental, spiritual. This is the work I’m doing with conscious technologists, by becoming as aware as possible of their own tech use (check out our other publication below):
It’s also why I’m building an Oscillator Program, a counter to the accelerators and decelerator programs you might already be used to, but now teaching the bridging skills required for staying disciplined and awake in the chaos of the AI era.
If something like the Oscillator Program resonates, just comment below with an emoji for more details.
