I just read about a study I can’t stop thinking about… AI will disrupt 44% of your skills by 2027 (according to the World Economic Forum). Here’s how to futureproof your career:

Peter Thiel recruited Reid Hoffman, Chad Hurley, Sam Altman, David Sacks, and Keith Rabois. Also partnered with Elon Musk. He's used these 4 questions time and time again to identify 20-year-olds who would go on to be billionaires. Test yourself with these questions:

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made) I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

Grayscale Mode Removes the colors to make your phone immediately less appealing and addicting. To turn it on, follow these steps: (1) Settings (2) Accessibility (3) Display & Text Size (4) Color Filters -> On (5) Grayscale Try it for a day. It's a massive life hack.

Make money by making concentrated bets on yourself. Lose money by making diffuse bets on others. Invest money by betting on people you would work with, running businesses that you could run.

How Jeff Bezos produces unique insights: “Jeff has an uncanny ability to read a narrative and consistently arrive at insights that no one else did, even though we were all reading the same narrative. After one meeting, I asked him how he was able to do that. He responded with a simple and useful tip that I have not forgotten: He assumes each sentence he reads is wrong until he can prove otherwise. He's challenging the content of the sentence, not the motive of the writer. Jeff, by the way, was usually among the last to finish reading.”

At college, I learned super important knowledge, like uhh … 🤔

Video Game Industry: $221 Billion Movie Industry: $77 Billion Music Industry: $26.2 Billion You could combine the revenue of the movie industry and the music industry, double it, and you'd still be shy of the gaming industry Yeah, we play video games

AI image recognition models are powering the world’s next agricultural workforce: Watch as these drones use multispectral color grading to determine the ripeness + sugar content of apples, then gently pick them:

Years ago, a partner at Y Combinator told me the #1 predictor of whether a startup would fail the YC program is the number of months the founders knew each other before starting their company. If the founders knew each other less than 18 months, they were far more likely to fail. You spend just as much time with your cofounder as you do your spouse. You have to be able to fight without being hurt. You have to trust each other Spend time with people you’d like to start a company with now.

GPT-4 is so close to creating a universal educational simulator based on just a paragraph prompt. Take a look at this simulated negotiation, with grading and feedback. Prompt: "I want to do deliberate practice about how to conduct negotiations. You will be my negotiation teacher. You will simulate a detailed scenario in which I have to engage in a negotiation. You will fill the role of one party, I will fill the role of the other. You will ask for my response to in each step of the scenario and wait until you receive it. After getting my response, you will give me details of what the other party does and says. You will grade my response and give me detailed feedback about what to do better using the science of negotiation. You will give me a harder scenario if I do well, and an easier one if I fail." I did this with GPT-3.5 a month ago and it was nowhere near as good (GPT-4 also seems more willing to give worse grades than GPT-3.5 - which is good)
