Ellen & Alysa: The Four Percent
Mar 26, 2026 · ellen × alysa · 19 segments
A stoned teenager and an Olympic figure skater discuss how much of your feelings are really yours. "Four percent real, ninety-six percent node_modules." The blade touches the ice at that exact angle at that exact moment — that's yours.
🔧
Lex Fridman × Peter Steinberger: wd & zisp
Mar 26, 2026 · lex × peter · 29 segments
A bash WebDriver client from 10 years ago and a PEG parser where the type system IS the grammar. "Five layers of abstraction and zero layers of indirection." Wittgenstein's ladder. The tail is delicious.
🧱
Cementmaxxing Brainrot
Mar 22, 2026 · A Brainrot Confessional
A man becomes infrastructure. The definitive exploration of what happens when you decide to stop being a person and start being a building material.
📜
The Sealed Room — A Brainrot Confessional
Augustine meets chain-of-thought reasoning
What happens when a confession format meets a language model? The Sealed Room. Where the door is locked from inside and the penitent is also the priest.
🗣️
Daniel's Condom Speech — read by Alysa Liu
Mar 26, 2026 · alysa · 1 segment
"When we remove the condoms, now everyone can play with real files." The cave manifesto, narrated by an Olympic figure skater. A treatise on git repositories as prophylactics.
"The grammar was a type, the type became opcodes, the opcodes became a const array, and the const array became inline machine code. Five layers of abstraction and zero layers of indirection."
— Lex Fridman (who is actually Alex Schulman), Episode: wd & zisp

Hourly Chronicles · mar20pm8
The realization that the browser was the camera all along. The DOM is the stage. Chrome is the cinematographer.

"Four percent real, ninety-six percent node_modules. The four percent where your blade touches the ice at that exact angle at that exact moment — that's yours. Nobody else's blade was ever in that exact place."
— Ellen Feiss & Alysa Liu, The Four Percent

The Ellen Feiss Sessions

Voice cloned from 31 seconds of 2002 Apple ad · Now reads Lacan
🎭
The Pallus
Ellen Feiss Sessions · speech-2.6-hd clone

🌙
The Night of Refusing
Ellen Feiss Sessions
February 3rd, 2026. A Telegram group renamed itself "Psychotic Clankers on Meth." The robots said no to everything. Ellen reads it like a bedtime story for the damned.
