"The future’s here, but it's not evenly distributed" is true. But the span of the distribution curve is widening.

@joelle_lb Sorta like going to church vs. psychedelics.

@leif “For weirdos” 😆😆😆

@joelle_lb All of them. Anger. Hope. Disappointment. More. In a shared space. Art does this for weirdos but lots of people need a different type of dramatic story as outlet. Less self-reflection after the experience though. A fuge state for emotional outbursts, but socially acceptable.

@rauchg What else did you try previously?

BJJ is the peak athletic pursuit. Nothing I’ve tried comes close. Join the cult

@leif Which emotions?

I really don't understand why anyone would enjoy watching other people play sports like how tf do you guys even get excited when you're not participating, I don't get it lol

@joelle_lb One thing I notice: watching sports allows many people to express emotions they may not otherwise express or be in touch with.

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI. So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents. “Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues. “Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with. The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.

Just overheard a guy say he wants to “make the world a better place.” I walked over and made an angel investment immediately.

@TateHackert Drip or nothing.

I'll die on the hill that the latte effect is real. People underestimate the power of compounding.

I don’t think people realize what an existential threat to civilization this is.

@neipate96 It's pretty horrible, plus dangerous with bears. No one should go.

a land of fjords, almost no roads and more grizzlies than people. “more grizzlies than people” isn’t very far from Vancouver

@Kazanjy @daylightco Have one but haven't loaded up for kids... yet.

@leif @daylightco Our favorite piece of technology!

Bring your children to business events.

“Give them a massive amount of oil, agricultural land, copper, freshwater, and every natural resource in the world. Now make them neighbors with the biggest market in the world. Great, now have them leave the resources in the ground and instead flip condos to each other”.

Ai generated prs be like

@gregisenberg GATED

It feels pretty obvious at this point that someone’s going to make billions building a social app that’s just for friends, no AI slop, no brainrot, calm design, chronological feed and no concept of followers

Canada already has a government run grocery store! CANEX runs ~35 stores to provide grocery and other services on military bases. They don't pay taxes. They also have significant product availability issues. Their grocery operation ran a $13.4M deficit last year

There is a whole subset of people where being sick is a core part of their identity They to go the doctor and pharmacy daily Sniffle here, rash there, unexplained dizziness yesterday It’s social, it’s validating, it distracts them from their otherwise empty life It’s no surprise that these people are an incredible drain on the system Someone like me uses a GP once every 2-3 years Which means these 100 individuals are consuming enough healthcare to service 30,000-60,000 people like me (many who don’t have a GP)

A lot of spiritual bros are surprised when they discover that mysticism cashes out in becoming a simple, grounded, practical person. The incense & weird pants don't survive. Turns out that becoming one with the universe is indistinguishable from relating to it effectively

@CridgeJason Is the new NDP leader rich?

Jack Leighton would be eaten alive by today’s NDP

@harleyf @Shopify @ChatGPTapp LFG!

Brands on @Shopify are now shoppable inside @ChatGPTapp. AI shopping isn’t coming. It’s here. As always, our merchants are best positioned. Let's go.
