A bunch of people have written me back saying this was the best newsletter I have ever sent (flattering) ... so here it is for those who don't subscribe: AI Is Not a Labor Crisis. It Is a Meaning Crisis.

Stories, Multiples, and a Studio System. The Hollywood-ification of The Economy (or at least the Market)….

If I am being honest, I don't think I am responsible enough to own earbuds or clothing with more than one pocket.

@tjparker I think there is probably a business in selling them to the Chinese —

@lessin I have so many fancy boxes

Slow's NYC office is on brand ... rather than buying the expensive lego, we just bought the second hand box on the cheap and put that on display ...

@tjparker …also if you have any boxes or packaging from nice watches I think that would be a great touch

@lessin I’ve got a bunch of boxes I can send you

@tjparker I will send you slow’s New York address … pls send all boxes there …

Bad sign Nike -- in the kids section of the Nike store in NYC and a young seemingly fashionable tween just asked the salesperson "where is the Adidas section"

@berner_my … thanks… I guess :) lol

@lessin I’m glad you mentioned the guillotine on the pod because it shows self awareness

@joshpuckett lol

@lessin lowest TAM tweet possible 🤣

Special Event FBO Fees Yes, this is rage bait, deal with it … but has anyone else noticed that the number of ‘special events’ where Airport FBOs charge exorbitant extra fees seems to keep going up? It kinda makes sense especially as big FBOs are increasingly PE owned / trading at multiples and land is scarce… but also kinda funny how these things obviously play out / was clearly in the buyout deck / plan.

@vladciurca i don't own any indexes ... i am only talking about public single holdings that matter

@lessin What are your biggest holdings? And how much is ETF’s (SP500) vs individual stocks?

I am pretty convinced that strictly by the numbers my public equities portfolio is now split between most attractive and least attractive single stocks on the world lol

@yrechtman legit

~65 miles of the TMB for our honeymoon.

@montnyc passport should work yes

@lessin Vox Americanus stripe step stuck in pending. Drivers license has a crack seems to have blocked. Can we use passport?

My AI's review of Spark... "pls switch as much work as you can over to Meta"

Game on let one AI figure out the next...

@riskanonymous @_NutHouse_ of course ... the canonical place from 15+ years ago ;)

@lessin Sam did you ever go to Antonio’s @_NutHouse_ ?

Making robot hands is hard ... and they don't heal. Far easier to use human hands (or maybe gorillas) and just hijack them with AI to fold laundry and run warehouses. At a minimum great apocalyptic sci-fi renting bodies, maybe more...

The trifecta is freedom + capitalism + meritocracy
