Sugar Scrub

Just listened to Peter Thiel complain about how hard it is to have mega companies in Europe and how everyone wants to sell and go on vacation. I am glad Europe exists as a counterpoint to the rat race that is the US. I absolutely love how life can be slow here, how money isn’t everything. How in much of Europe no one cares if you are a venture capitalist with a gazillion dollars to spend. How people don’t need to work themselves to death to prove a point. How on a Wednesday afternoon you can find people just enjoying the sun and not fretting about deliverables. How trains work. How guns are not everywhere. How road rage doesn’t not immediately lead to someone shooting you in the chest. How cities are walkable. How people are not obsessed with marriage and who pays on dates. How little purity culture there is. How people are not terrified of a naked body in public. Because in the end after you make all that money, after you build that mega company, what is it all for? What is all your success worth if in this brief life you cannot enjoy the things that make life worth living, the little things, the lakes and rivers and oceans, the mountains, the colors of nature, the taste of food, the smiles of humans who are not all judging each other based on which patch of land they own, which piece of equipment they have, and what imaginary figures they have in banks? What is human progress for if not for the enjoyment of this one brief life? And yes Europe has its problems. A lot of them. But it would be a disaster if Europe became like the US.

Please, if you're a lover of fiction, what book do I HAVE to read this year? Mind-blowing, incredible, you recommend 10 toes down to anyone around you. (Please don't advertise your cousin's novel, my dear. I get you want to support, but tell me the one you really enjoyed.)

Let me get this straight, Ben and his brother Matt said Netflix viewers get distracted easily and so they decided to give us The Rip? 2/10

Merry Xmas 🎄 🤍🐘

This dress is 👌🏽👌🏽

You just know this is going to be 🔥

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis believes there is virtually no limit to what AI can eventually achieve. "humans as biological information processing systems". He is working on the premise that the entire universe is "computable," meaning that anything that exists can technically be modeled by a machine. He says that a powerful enough computer—conceptually known as a Turing machine—should be able to simulate every aspect of reality. Until physics proves that something is impossible to calculate, he is operating on the belief that AI can solve any problem. This perspective even applies to the things that feel uniquely human. When asked about physical sensations, like feeling the warmth of a light or hearing background noise, Hassabis argued that these are just forms of information being processed by the brain. He views humans as biological information processing systems. By treating biology and reality essentially as data, he believes we will not only replicate human capabilities but also solve complex challenges, such as curing all diseases, by decoding the information of life itself.

Your finger, I could put a rock on it 🎶💍

I really need to win the lottery so I can go back to studying. In no particular order, I want to study history in my free time and work with a brilliant team of product designers.

I love them together.

Jira.

Sometimes I am really proud of the work I do and the team I work with. Other times it all seems so ordinary.

Following the NY mayor’s win, I want to see the Spotify numbers for empire state of mind.

Gotta love the elderly!! 🥹 Cute & Silly!! 🤪

This was an album and a half!
