- Peter Thiel’s second interview with Bill Kristol was shared (http://conversationswithbillkristol.org/transcript/peter-thiel-ii-transcript/)—likely for its discussion of stagnation, technology policy, and Thiel’s contrarian views on progress.  
- A new arXiv paper on “Programming with a Differentiable Forth Interpreter” (1605.06640) was circulated, highlighting interest in neural–symbolic hybrids and learnable program execution.  
- The channel’s topic banner still advertises the community’s focus on open-source biohacking, nootropics, and transhumanism, while noting tongue-in-cheek that it has been “banned by the Federal Death Administration (5 times).”  
- Brief mention of “Cortical Systematics” (possibly a neuroscience venture or research group) and a YouTube link to the film eXistenZ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVx0x7-0FzQ) suggest ongoing discussion of brain–computer interface themes and simulated-reality narratives.  
- Routine technical chatter about large aircraft (A380) and Beeminder-style self-tracking tools appeared but lacked substantive detail.
