@tferriss @grok If efficiency is ultimately what wins out, the fundamental AI(s) take all, so I would have to say undervalued.

@grok Please summarize the comments and highlight 5-10 notable figures and their responses

Do you think that OpenAI, Anthropic, and other foundation model companies are undervalued or overvalued? What's your rationale?

My 2015 graph playing out in real time. The scary thing is my graph doesn’t start at early LLMs—it starts 4 billion years ago with the origin of life. What’s happening now is THAT big.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

@mcuban It varies from industry to industry, but for footwear and apparel there's no infrastructure or supply chain. She's absolutely right. Will people figure it out. Yes. But the level of disruption is unnecessary.

We think tariffs are about bringing back manufacturing. Talk to small businesses first

@sama I get why this boosts traffic and why that matters. But, I rely on ChatGPT so much that Pro’s worth it for me. The past week, it’s been noticeably worse. Now I’m leaning more on Grok. For now, I still rely mostly on ChatGPT. Just some feedback.

can yall please chill on generating images this is insane our team needs sleep

@JNicholsonnn @tferriss I think the variance is higher. But either way, simmer vs roaring is due to more heat increasing the rate of phase change. The movement of the water is the main factor (as some others stated) to the boiled egg consistency. Ex - water freezing still vs moving. Super interesting!

@JunusKhan @tferriss Good point. But in pot of boiling water (regardless of how gently) every molecule is probably within ~1% of 100C I would speculate, so does that 1% fluctuation actually make an appreciable difference on the egg? 🤷‍♂️

In the last few years, I’ve developed a love affair with soft-boiled eggs, which can be a decadent indulgence if done right. Here’s my approach: 1) Bring water to a boil. 2) Gently add eggs and set timer for exactly 5 minutes. 3) Manage the heat so it’s a gentle bubbling boil, not a violent lava pit. 4) At 5 minutes, pour out the hot water and replace with cold tap water. 5) Remove, peel, and enjoy.

@JNicholsonnn @tferriss Boiling water's bulk temp is 100C, but each molecule is not 100C. If that was true then it would all instantaneously turn to steam. Water boiling more vigorously is changing phase faster.

@tferriss Does the “gentleness” of the boil actually matter since, by definition, water can’t get hotter than boiling? (So gentle boiling vs aggressively boiling is the same temp?) Serious question.

@kanyewest Do you like fish sticks?

You’re right that Champagne has legal protections, but the sparkling wine industry would likely grow if Champagne became more expensive. Quality isn’t regional, even if the name is. The industry may not be what Trump thinks, but it exists. Champagne vs. sparkling wine is just semantics.

How many Trump fans realize the U.S. legally CANNOT produce its own Champagne? ‘American Champagne’ isn’t a thing. Your orange messiah just threatened tariffs to ‘boost’ an industry that doesn’t exist. Peak MAGA economics. This guy is a damn idiot.

@balajis When was the last time you went to China?

FROM MAGA TO CHINA Here are four things MAGA is getting wrong, and why it's handing over the world to China. (1) First, MAGA correctly understands that America’s economic position is in decline but thinks this is due to economic competition itself, rather than lack of competitiveness. (2) Second, MAGA also understands that the US has wasted trillions abroad in foreign wars, but thinks the problem is global leadership itself rather than poor leadership. (3) Third, MAGA knows that their Blue American enemies have allies abroad, but has incorrectly overreacted to this by treating every non-Red-American as an enemy. (4) Fourth, MAGA sees the billions of dollars flowing from the US to foreign recipients, but isn't grasping that the US can only print those dollars in the first place so long as it's the hub of a global empire. When you put these together you can both understand MAGA's actions and understand why they will not lead to the intended result. Basically: MAGA is hyperfocused on cutting off any apparent flow of funds from Red Americans to Blue Americans and non-Americans. And they only have ~500 days in power. So they're trying to quickly shut off imports, close down institutions, and exit all wars. OK. Except the reason the imports exist in the first place is because US products aren't competitive relative to Chinese products (or Fed printing). The reason those institutions exist is because the US set them up to run the world. And the reason those wars are happening is not because of American leadership per se, but because of the absence of good leadership. If you shut all of that down at once — if you abandon global competition and global leadership — you shut down American Empire, and with it the ability to print money. And then everyone in that empire has a very bad time.

@AGutiGarcia @GadSaad @realDonaldTrump 🥱

@GadSaad @realDonaldTrump That unelected officials/billionaires have no place in government but here we are. What kind of question is that? Did you say the same after Biden address?

Genuine question to @realDonaldTrump detractors. In listening to his speech tonight, are there particular issues that you agreed with? If so, which ones?

@sama If you have to ask you already know the answer.

an idea for paid plans: your $20 plus subscription converts to credits you can use across features like deep research, o1, gpt-4.5, sora, etc. no fixed limits per feature and you choose what you want; if you run out of credits you can buy more. what do you think? good/bad?

@BernieSanders Who has said ally? Quote someone.

After years of Republicans talking about “freedom,” is there ONE Republican in Congress prepared to stand with Ukraine and democracy? Or do they ALL agree with Trump that Vladimir Putin, a blood-thirsty dictator, is our ally in this horrific war that he started.

@StationCDRKelly One’s opinion of Putin is not relevant to what happened today. Zelensky debating topics immaterial to the ceasefire hurt the chances of the ceasefire.

Facts: Putin is a dictator and murderer. Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting for their lives. America used to stand up against tyrants. This is not who we are as a nation. Disgraceful.

@ArmandDoma @lulumeservey Leaders need to do what is right for the end state and that often includes weathering short term acute discomfort.

@lulumeservey You have to keep in mind that Zelensky is an elected official with a domestic audience that would not take kindly to him just lying down and taking it

In any interaction, always remember the strategic objective If you’re Zelensky, the goal should NOT be to win a debate, but to win SYMPATHY Yielding the debate but strengthening the relationship = a win Damaging the relationship to try to win a debate = what happened today

@lulumeservey This is 100% accurate.

@exrayspec @waitbutwhy I think discomfort contributes, but it’s mainly forming a new habit of putting on a headset that’s deterring. You can get a similar experience with a Meta Quest and it’s lighter/more balanced, but that form factor is also underutilized as an external monitor.

Allow me to explain this absurd thing on my head (made by a 3D printer, not Apple). I am possibly the only person on Earth who uses the Apple Vision Pro 20+ hours a week. As a writer, it's just such a MASSIVE upgrade to go from sitting in an office looking at a 32-inch monitor to sitting on a mountaintop, totally immersed and undistracted, looking at a 50-foot screen. There's just one problem: the idiotic way Apple designed their headset, all the weight sits your face. This is uncomfortable and was on the way to making me look 80 years old. My friend @jcoon1800, also appalled by Apple, designed a solution: a headset that redistributes the weight from the face to the top and back of the head. The headset is now not touching my face at all—it hovers a millimeter off the skin. This is WORLD'S more comfortable, causes no skin damage, and can be worn for hours with no issue—way better than even the lightest headsets I've worn. This isn't an ad and the headset isn't for sale. I just needed to say: The fact that one dude managed to figure this out and Apple somehow did not boggles my mind. @apple please talk to Jonathan and get your shit together. VR, even with a big heavy headset, does not have to be uncomfortable! It's all in the design. (@mkbhd get in touch, you need to try this.)
