the AI water debate is peak comedy

If we had applied this logic 200 years ago we would all still work in the fields.

AHAAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA we are genuinely beyond parody, i’m gonna lose my mind how is this real life lmao

This must go crazy to a classroom of 10 year olds

@Baileysco_ @romanhelmetguy lol

@romanhelmetguy As a tenured professor at MIT Department of Economics, he's right

“If the banks can print as much money as possible, why do we have poverty?” 💀💀

Steve Jobs refusing to be introspective in a 2006 interview: "I don't think that way"

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

@pmarca TLDR; •Preferences are constructed •Emotions are interpretations •Identity is narrative

TLDR There is no inner self, you're chasing an imaginary concept, the end.

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

@levelsio never understood people not using blinkers, switch is literally right next to your hands

People drive like idiots everywhere In Portugal they drive and switch lanes without blinkers in the majority of the time In Brazil slightly better but people turn into completely raging goons at rush hour In Netherlands you have the agressive taxi drivers and Ubers It's all fucked, humans shouldn't be allowed to drive Automate it all asap

Now that I got my driver's license Seeing people drive like complete goons every day now I think our #1 priority should be to get every car brand to self driving ASAP on a worldwide gov mandate Humans are way too retarded to drive

@MurrayHillGuy1 @martyrdison cheers !

I made a trailer for the future of humanity (e/acc)

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

this is exactly what happened to music > barrier to record an album in 2000: a studio, a label, $500k > barrier to record an album in 2015: a laptop and garageband > result: more music than ever. most of it niche. some of it massive software is about 5 years behind that curve vibe coders with claude code are the new bedroom producers and the bedroom producers won do with that what you will

millenials had subsidised ubers and doordash, we have subsidised intelligence what a time to be alive

The human brain isn’t designed to process all of the world’s breaking emergencies in realtime.

More context on this post: #1 This is just first impressions on the city (from walking around for 6 hours). Thus… I’m sure I will see new pros & new cons in the coming days. #2 By “most blown away” - I don’t mean that it is the BEST city I’ve been to. I mean that it has wildly exceeded my expectations thus far. I was really expecting this “nice areas of Chile are first world” to be EXTREMELY overblown. But, from what I’ve seen so far… it’s not overblown at all. Modern. Great infrastructure. Most people being very mindful of “social rules”. Feels like I’m in Vancouver (minus the ocean). #3 This is based on exploring all day the area that I am staying “El Golf”. Admittedly… one of the more high end areas in the country. I will need to explore a lot more of the city to see the actually reality But man… SUPER SUPER impressed thus far.

Spent the day exploring… 📍Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱 &… Holy sh*t. I have NEVER been this blown away by a Latin American city. Legitimately feels first world. Curious to see… How the “less upscale” areas are. Will keep you all posted.

@ikirigin @signulll Immediately thought of Friedman

@signulll There is an apocryphal story about Milton Friedman visiting China, and machines vs shovels, but Mamdani actually did it.

zohran mamdani gave out $35 per hour to shovel snow to any person, so naturally each side walk intersection is now being shoveled by like 7 ppl. this is exactly how the government operates: without thinking about any second order affects & also because spending other ppl’s money (tax) is super duper easy. show me the incentives & i will show you the outcome.

The type of stuff I’m liking now that likes are private etc etc…
