I have a 3 and 5 year old and I've been kind of YOLOing my own bespoke selection of digital devices and content in my house for them. A 🧵 on what I've been using (and not using) far:

She may have slipped a bit on the upholding of the law, but at least she applied good governance practice. Even when planning crimes, it’s important to have good meeting procedure and accurate minutes - especially as evidence for the police.

Adding new vocab to Anki is so insanely smooth these days: 1. Highlight on kindle as I'm reading 2. dump into Chat and it generates translations, removes dupes, and turns it into an anki deck that I can import within 1 minute I love this shit so much

Aight so ChatGPT 5 is incremental rather than a paradigm shift, but it still cost ~5x more to train than chatgpt 4. If frontier model costs are superlinear and there’s no strong moat, surely commodification is inevitable?? That would be great for consumers but I don’t understand what investors are thinking here. If there’s no big discontinuous breakthrough, what’s left? only thing I can think of is they’re betting on oligopoly/cronyism/platform lock-in kinda dynamics, which is not very inspiring 🧐

Just $1 can help avert 10 years of farmed animal suffering. I decided to give $250,000 as a donation match to @farmkind_giving after learning about the outsized opportunities to help. FarmKind directs your contributions to the most effective charities in this area. Please consider contributing, even if it’s a small amount. Together, we can double each other's impact and give a total of $500,000. Use the link below to donate with my match. Bluntly, there are some listeners who are in a position to give much more. Given how neglected this topic is, one such person could singlehandedly change the game for 10s of billions of animals. If you’re considering donating $50k or more, please reach out directly to @Lewis_Bollard and his team by DMing him, or emailing andres@openphilanthropy.org

This week Bruce takes a deep dive into anthropologist Joseph Henrich’s book: The Secret of Our Success. Bruce outlines Henrich's hypothesis that human evolution at the level of culture is a collective mind that may be superior to any individual. open.spotify.com/episode/5eoJ0A…
