Heaven is a place on earth and it’s called Marin County

@Celesteamadon I was with you until the end. Is dating really where you think people are most truthful?

Founders pitching personalized AI agents almost always arrive at the same line about a "data moat" that gets built one user at a time. Then you ask them how they get the first 500 quality data points on me, and the answer is some version of: scrape my X, my Spotify, my DoorDash, my camera roll, my emails, my texts. I sat through dozens of these pitches when I was at a venture firm and I never bought it. The first reason is legal. Most of those companies do not want you scraping their data. The second reason is the part founders will not admit to investors. Trying to figure out who someone is from the tweets they liked at two in the morning is not very indicative of their personhood. The actual move is to find a use case where users tell you the truth about themselves on purpose. There are not many of those, which is part of why dating is one of the first places AI personalization will work.

those who litter in waymos will not see the gates of heaven

@creatine_cycle - "what has god been doing in your life?" - "are you technical?"

in our quest to completely eliminate "what are you building?" in SF culture far sinister questions have taken its place: - "what are you thinking anout?" - "what have you been excited about recently?" - "do you take peptides?"

The marina is literally underwater rn

Holy shit this slaps San Francisco 2035:

Vote for Stephen Sherrill in D2 so we drastically transform the Marina into a hyperdense waterfront urban center. Let’s make it look like Miami! We could fit 200K-700K MORE people in D2 alone. 90% of the city wants this!

"limit your kid's screen time" is correct advice today, but people are confused about why it's correct, and that matters because the reason has an expiration date. the issue with ipad kids was never too much screen time in some vague moral sense, but that the software on the other side of the glass is essentially a superstimulus engine running a curriculum in learned helplessness. bright colors, zero latency rewards, infinite novelty, no boredom, no friction, and no consequence. you poke the most interesting square and something happens immediately. if the world worked that way, it'd be fine, but the world is almost entirely delayed gratification, ambiguous feedback, physical constraint, and needing to sit with uncertainty long enough to actually figure something out. so you're training a kid on an environment that is aggressively uncorrelated with the one they'll have to function in. it's a distribution mismatch problem. this means the winning parenting heuristic isn't "less screen time," but "don't let your kid marinate in a training environment optimized for engagement extraction when they should be building a world model." screens just happen to be a horrible training environment. but that's contingent and doesn't have to stay true. consider an AI that actually knows your kid, not in a creepy ad-targeting way, but in a way an aristocratic tutor knows their pupil. it follows them since birth, and maybe it remembers what confused them in march and checks whether they've resolved it by june. it notices when they're pattern matching instead of reasoning and calls them out on it. it asks hard questions at the right time, not to test them, but because it has a genuine model of what they're ready to think about next, and critically, it keeps routing them back to real world problems instead of substituting for them. this probably starts life as a stuffed animal, but the same entity transfers across form factors as the kid ages. the plush rabbit becomes a voice in their earbuds. he memory and the relationship are continuous. the interface changes, but it's one long developmental arc, not a series of disconnected apps. the thing that made ipad kids a cautionary tale was that the optimization target was retention. a sufficiently good AI tutor could optimize for what actually matters, like reflection, causal reasoning, metacognition, and tolerance for confusion, using the kid's actual life as curriculum instead of some frictionless cartoon sandbox. basically, the principle I'd actually endorse isn't "minimize screens." it's closer to "choose the training environment that best teaches your kid to think, pay attention, and update on evidence." right now that means less screen time, but in maybe two-five years the correct parenting move might be something nobody is emotionally prepared to hear, which is, your kid should probably be raised in part by an aristocratic tutor with perfect recall and great priors who happens to live inside a stuffed rabbit.

@Celesteamadon I did this by being first in line at the open house, immediately saying I'd take it, having a bio packet with a credit report ready, and paying 6mo upfront

What does a girl have to do to find a 2 bedroom apartment in the Marina 😭

@PrinceVogel I'd love to be there

@DynamicWebPaige @GoogleAIStudio @googlecloud Impressive! I feel offended that it inferred a bald spot on the the back of my head (it's accurate, but still)
