I know conversation branching and compaction exist, but what I really want is to be able to declutter context by deleting specific prompts and responses from the middle of a conversation. It would make long chats much easier and reduce unnecessary compaction.

What should I do if I want way fewer videos in my "Twitter" feed? If I wanted TikTok, I'd just open Tiktok.

@paulg Man, you should absolutely launch your own shorts brand at this point. Call it PG-13. It comes pre-wrinkled, always 13 inches above corporate dress code, and has enough runway to last until PMF. Forget about essays, your moat might be this signature shorts.

We ran into Amit from the winter 2007 batch. We still remember him vividly, because after I told him in rehearsals that he had to speak louder, the first sentence of his Demo Day presentation was probably the most emphatic ever delivered.

When historians write about Europe’s decline, one of the biggest chapters will be on how they debated, regulated, and hesitated while US and China just raced ahead in AI. With so much world-class AI talent coming from Europe, failing to capitalize on that is just unforgivable. America built the closed models, China dominated the open ones. But, Brussels perfected the consent banner and regulated itself out of existence!

@andrewchen I’m not even sure those outlets matter for launches anymore, at least not as much as they used to. It's mostly to impress your tech friends, not reach actual users. Unless there’s some controversy around the startup, the story barely gets noticed, so they need to create one.

very common convo in tech rn: Startup: “We want to launch can you intro us to [anti-tech news org]?” “uh probably don’t want to do that, they’ll probably ignore or write a hit piece, not much in the middle” Startup: “ok but we really want to” … a few weeks later … “They fucked us over” or… “They ignored us” Not much in the middle unfort

I gave WIRED the exclusive on our hands launch, and they wrote a really weird article about how we are sexualizing robotics… wired.com/story/the-1x-n… I felt pretty betrayed because that’s not what they told me they were writing about not is that what I’ve ever been about… actually I stand for quite the opposite… But I’ve come to find a lot of dishonesty and malice in the journalism community so I wasn’t surprised. This is what I sent the author… I’m only sharing this because I hope it encourages journalists to resist the click bait trap and tell truly awesome stories because I for one don’t believe journalism is dead— I think it’s just starting and just needs to evolve past the weird corner of the internet where data driven optimization turns everything into smooth brained shocking brain rot bullshit. The technological revolution we are going through should inspire a journalism renaissance. Not let it fall into further decay. There is so much brilliance at play in the world and the stories should be told! My note: “[author name redacted], it was nice talking to you, but I wanted to let you know that I didn’t enjoy your article at all. I understand the need to be inflammatory because that seems to be the only thing that gets clicks these days but that doesnt mean you shouldn’t recognize when something special is in front of you. I trusted our PR team in saying we should offer you the exclusive on what is one of the most important technological developments in the history of Mankind and I deeply regret it. Good luck with the rest of your writing career. -Dar Sleeper”

Yes, of course. A working coupon is rarely available and it's mostly a requirement of Chrome. Google introduced these rules last year after the Honey controversy when people were blaming them. The funny part is that the programs that still accept coupon extensions are often the ones who barely offer any coupons. :)

@eyadnour That's great, just saying historically nobody followed these rules, particularly wrt coupons.

@jamiequint Chrome Web Store requires an explicit user action first, and the extension must deliver a tangible benefit like a working coupon. The affiliate programs that still allow coupon/cashback extensions also require a click and disclosure. Most programs no longer allow them at all.

@eyadnour @nntaleb Do any of you ever question what consciousness is, what a soul is? You act as though a sentient slave will come fawning to your will in the future. It's disgraceful if you are human.

I made a huge mistake thinking that manual technical jobs such as electician, appliance technician etc. wd be spared by AI. Had pbs w/: HVAC, security system, outdoor lighting, pool programming etc. & was forced to solved them w/AI because technicians are slow at showing up.

The real advantage for those people will be the ability to sustain attention long enough to form an original thought. Soon reading an entire book will be considered intellectual weightlifting. Still, I suspect people will keep writing books in the future. They’ll probably just release them as a 5-episode podcast accompanied with a summary. The flex will be "I watched the whole thing."

Something I told 14 yo: People are going to stop reading books. I wish this wasn't so, but I fear it is. The silver lining in this cloud is that if you're one of the few people who still read, you'll have a huge advantage over everyone else.

Tractors didn’t eliminate farm jobs overnight either. First they created an entire machinery industry. Then they made most farm labor unnecessary. I’m not saying we should resist tractors, but at least let’s not pretend we’re liberating the farmers especially when we know we’ll soon have self-prompting tractors.

so far at least, i'm pretty sure AI has been net job-creating. this was not what i expected--although i was much less pessimistic than others, i thought by this level of capability we'd have seen some impact. it is possible this direction keeps going!

The real question to me isn’t how many years he’s adding, but how much actual life he’s subtracting. What’s the point of living longer (and older) tomorrow if today is spent swallowing 100 pills, draining life out of living, and obsessing over the idea of life rather than actually living it? On his deathbed, he would be asking himself: How much have I actually lived since I decided not to die? If life is a math problem and you really want to get more value out of it, you should be optimizing for the quality of your days first, not merely the number of them.

Someone paid me $64,499 to agree to buy their $META shares at $550... 2 years from now. Say that out loud. It sounds fake. They handed me $64k, instantly, for a PROMISE A promise to buy a company I already love, at a price I'd be thrilled to pay If $META never drops there? I keep the $64k for nothing. If it does? I buy a great company at a discount... & STILL keep the $64k. & my base portfolio secured the whole trade, so no cash drag like CSP This is the power of the portfolio secured put

@OpenAI So, you’ve benchmarked the benchmark now that it’s no longer benchmarking you as you’d like to be benchmarked?

We audited SWE-Bench Pro, one of the most widely used AI coding benchmarks, and found it no longer reliably measures frontier coding capability. We find 30% of SWE-Bench Pro tasks to be broken, and are retracting our previous recommendation that the research community use it as a leading coding eval. openai.com/index/separati…
