@BowTiedPassport Why did you decide to live in Mexico? What do you think are the biggest misconceptions about this country?

The problem is treating wealth as a goal in itself, rather than as a means of supporting you in achieving your goals. Meaningful goals are things like: building a family, building relationships, acquiring skills, building a business, having new experiences, overcoming challenges, creating and experiencing art. You can never be “done” with those goals because pursuing them and progressing in them is intrinsically satisfying, in a way that increasing the number in your bank account never can be. Never forget that money is only a means to achieving your real goals, never a goal in itself.


How Quake ruined id Software. There has been a lot of praise of Quake of late, with its 30th anniversary, and it's deserved. Quake is an amazing feat of art, programming, and design. I worked on it, and everything came together almost perfectly from all of us. We ended up with a free-wheeling, frenetic action game with enough of a visible world to grip the imagination. All the team did a brilliant job, fulfilling tasks just right. But at a grim cost. We worked long and hard, and I think it broke us spiritually. 1/3





"There's a lot of shady stuff happening, it feels like." Atreides Management's @gavinsbaker worries about the "bottleneck bros": "Until the bottleneck bros and AI came along, there was not a lot happening in public small-cap land." "It does feel a little weird to me that you can have a large following on social media, outline your thesis in a $35M market cap company, and send it up like 1,000%. There's a lot of that going on."

I am not that easy to get amazed but half away around the globe, your music is distributing in an EV, it’s a mic drop moment: “这是他的乐队” This is his band to the sales guy. @TheStalwart


Hot take: this might be the beginning of the end for any proposed/supposed/assumed/asserted US AI superiority. A non-negligible number of people working on high end AI models in the big three are foreign nationals. And if Mythos and Fable 5 are natsec risks, then everything
