Collapse OS — Bootstrap post-collapse technology
Winter is coming and Collapse OS aims to soften the blow. It is a Forth (why Forth?) operating system and a collection of tools and documentation with a single purpose: preserve the ability to program microcontrollers through civilizational collapse. It is designed to:

The Joy of Becoming Worthless…except to each other — Douglas Rushkoff
My last piece, The Intentional Collapse, seems to have agitated a few people. I know it came off a bit dark.

The Gargantuan Lie That is Collapsing The World’s Climate
Thinking we have time left to address climate change, or that “Net Zero by 2050” will save us, is driving us toward full social collapse in ways that become more obvious with every new broken temperature record.

Please don’t tell anyone: we aren’t just open sourcing all the models. We are doing the unspeakable: open sourcing all the gpu kernels too. Making them run on multivendor consumer hardware, and opening the door to folks who can beat our work.Plz keep it quiet, ok? 😉— Chris Lattner (@clattner_llvm) March 24, 2026
