Strong biases i have: 1/ Technological progress is not inevitable or at all pre-determined 2/ Access to high quality healthcare is not a fundamental right 3/ Incentives govern most of human behavior 4/ Market solutions are almost always superior to non-market ones Continued 👇🏻

Personal rule of thumb: don't use an LLM for something that a deterministic program can do. I get it, LLMs are exciting, but they don't mean that software ceases to exist. They are fantastic at dealing with human language and ambiguity, but are terrible (by design and for good reason) at repeatability. To borrow terminology from the book Thinking Fast and Slow, LLMs are "system 2"...slower, more "expensive" (for LLMs, both in time and dollars), but flexible and creative. Traditional programs are "system 1" ..fast and cheap, but inflexible and dumb. Instead of trying to put an LLM in the "hot loop" of your program, it's usually worth asking an agent to write a deterministic program to do the thing you need done. Since code is "cheap", this deterministic tool can do exactly what you want it to, and doesn't consume tokens on every execution. (This applies to agents too..I find myself regularly yelling at Claude to stop repeatedly generating the same 30 lines of python to inspect a file, and instead telling it to generate a 3-line shell script wrapper around jq that it can check in and call repeatedly)

For the love of God, don't skip your class!

When execution becomes commoditized, the age of the idea-guy is imminent.

Looking for an idea guy. Willing to share 70-90% equity. Leave the execution, product and marketing to me, just need someone to brainstorm and give me ideas.

@codyschneider Anthropic will release a hosting platform and it will be game over for the builders

The future of work, is more. Ubi bros in shambles

Black Mirror S8E1: In 2027, developers are allocated a daily Claude token allowance by the government. A junior dev burns through his entire month's supply trying to centre a div. His family starve. He is forced to write the code himself. He can't. Society collapses.

AI Agents going to work in the morning

You can't play "game theory" with people who believe they win if they die.

My current mental model of where the world of AI + Social Media is going: 1. AI generates infinite content → compresses time & meaning. 2. Social media amplifies emotionally charged signals. 3. Human brain can’t evolve or stabilize → creates private reality models. Result 👉 People don’t go insane. The environment becomes unrecognizable, so the mind improvises coherence.

🚨BREAKING: FIRST PHOTOS OF TRUMP’S CALL WITH IRAN

Buying a house in 2026 is: finally putting my Macro-economics education to some practical use 😅

Trump's superpower is his ability to reverse a decision when presented with new information. Prior to Trump, decisions by Presidents were considered to be authoritative and basically un-changeable. Instead, he makes decisions on a whim and then a/b tests the response in real-time.

@chamath If AI compresses terminal value and makes every moat temporary, capital will rotate to assets with no disruption risk. Bitcoin is Digital Capital - scarce, neutral, and impervious to AI disruption. $BTC should be the primary beneficiary of this shift.

People forget: By killing Hitler, the allies only radicalized the Nazi party. Also, it created 1,000 new Hitlers. This is obvious. We need to think more strategically about the unintended consequences of killing genocidal tyrants.

@KyleSamani It's the only way

The more I use abstracted tools like manus and vercel0 and replit and loveable The more I just want full control with Claude Code CLI
