I see a new kind of 24-hour-a-day channel. One on any topic. Your favorite sports team. The AI news of the day. The war in Iran. Keeping up with Elon. Etc etc etc. Let Grok really study lists in great detail. Write a script. Shove it over to Imagine. Build a show. Or a piece therein. Assemble. Distribute. This will be how people get personalized news on their Teslas. I hope it all goes well. The better the model cooks, the more likely this all will happen this year.

Soviet watches don’t have the sobriety (nor the quality) of Swiss ones. But the Swiss will never have the aura of the Soviets. There’s something in them of a fallen empire, of past grandeur… and whether we like it or not, that will always pull us in.

Asteroids was so popular that arcade owners had to install extra-large coin boxes because the standard ones were literally overflowing with coins every single night!

A mentor once told me: “When you don’t know what to do next, clean your desk, make a list, and start with the smallest thing that matters." Every major project begins with a single act. Big tasks paralyze you because your brain sees the mountain, not the path. Build stairs.


I don't think people understand how insane Renaissance Florence was. In a town of about ***50k people*** you had the following people all alive at the same time: * Leonardo Da Vinci * Michelangelo * Raphael * Amerigo Vespucci (explorer for whom America is named) * Niccolo Machiavelli * Sandro Botticelli * Lorenzo de Medici What happened to all that human capital? Did the intelligent men of Florence migrate elsewhere over the coming centuries?
