The Fool™ On The Hill

NYC observations after spending last week there • people are actually outside touching grass (or cement 😅) • very few AI ads or billboards around • even cafes i went to - very few screens with claude code or cursor or some coding tool • people are way more open to socializing. everyone is willing to strike up a conversation (not about AI agents) • the energy is electric - everyone’s moving with purpose. • found a way to talk to folks without mentioning AI • way more artists, and non traditional creators. Met an actual physical product designer which was cool. it’s genuinely refreshing to remember there’s a whole world outside the feed been traveling the last few days and the SF tech bubble makes it easy to forget how alive real cities feel. sorry SF, you’re still home… but perspective is healthy 🤷‍♂️

Wow. Awesome. Thanks. Please also raise my taxes and destroy my children’s education more than you already have so my family and I can stay impoverished, uneducated and in your indentured servitude while we carry your branding on us.
