about this newsletter

duality is all around us. and technology that’s altering the world is a prime example of modern, future-defining duality.

duality of good and evil, of mediocre and exceptional, of intentional and unintentional outcomes.

when I think about the future and hyper-advanced tech, cyberpunk naturally comes to mind.. and while it looks cool with all the electric neon lights and can be very romantic with protagonists fighting for humanity, at its core, cyberpunk is the downfall of human society.

at t3sh, we deeply love technology and believe it has a greater endgame. we look to and focus on the bright potential for all, and we’re dedicated to steering toward it.

neoduality by t3sh newsletter is your weekly sync-up on the wildest technological alterations to the world happening around you today. often silent and hidden, they shape the future of humanity.

you will notice them as soon as you stop thinking it’s magic or noise and realize – it’s the details.

week’s bright

some amazing things are happening in the fields of medicine and energy

week’s dilemmas

startup that builds an undetectable AI assistant:

  • it sees and hears everything on your computer

  • it helps you cheat? seamlessly in any type of meeting (interviews, sales calls, etc)

effortless shortcuts that blur the line between help and deception.

on the flip side, there’s Truely by Validia - launched to detect Cluely and other hidden ai assistants during calls. Truely aims to restore trust and transparency in virtual hiring.

is Cluely a net positive for humanity? (yes / no)

to partner with governments of democratically aligned countries to build local data centers and tune ChatGPT for public services.

current goal → 10 projects with individual countries or regions as the first phase of this initiative, and expand from there..

this document is an interesting read:

  • splitting the world into tier i friends, tier ii suspects, tier iii exiles.

  • “freedom to learn” - copyright recast as national security
