“LLMs aren’t built, they’re grown”

per the viral podcast clip, he is conflating introspection with neurotic rumination. so he is wrong but he is wrong more on semantic grounds. the most charitable interpretation is that introspection is a superset that contains the type of rumination i think he intends to be pointing at that said right after this segment in the podcast they both start discussing their unwillingness to ever try psychedelics, and specifically andreessen's fear of them (though he doesn't describe it that way). this is because of the number of anecdotes he's encountered where someone will take psychedelics and then find peace and thus stop building whatever they were building. in short he's making a multi-pronged philosophical category error anyway you should not turn to a restless person for advice on stillness. the folks following andreeson are probably, on average, the type of people who could benefit from knowing the difference.

i'm listening to this podcast currently and this clip comes from right at the beginning. it sounds like he is conflating introspection with neurotic rumination so i agree that he is wrong but i think he is wrong more on semantic grounds. the most charitable interpretation would be that introspection is a super set that contains the type of rumination i think he intends to be pointing to. that said right after this they both start discussing their unwillingness to ever try psychedelics and specifically andreessen's fear of them (though he doesn't describe it that way). this is because of the number of anecdotes he's encountered where someone will take psychedelics and then find peace and thus stop building whatever company they were building. in short he's making a multi-pronged philosophical category error anyway nobody should turn to a restless person for advice on stillness. it's unfortunate that he is giving this sort of bad advice to the type of people who could probably benefit from knowing the difference

Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.

short these companies

@youthandpride @simonsarris i think you must now refer to this as a shrine

I regret to inform you the situation has only worsened...

@GO_Gil_ @thesamparr @nickgraynews 7/10 from Fortnite is an update for me, could explain a lot of the success of a gamified system. Would love to see the “non-Fortnite” cohort compared to the Fortnite one.

I taught middles school science for 3 years in Elizabeth. I also have run tons of nature based programming... @nickgraynews just posted a write up about Alpha- takeaway factoid was they recruited 7 of 10 from Fortnite. My understanding is the academics portion is gamified AI driven content compressed to 2 hrs. The other 6 much more interactive and engaging. I get the impression it’s opposite of iPad babysitting, and actually functional. I’m monitoring closely and rooting for them. Fixing education is the second most important thing to do, IMO. Most important is attention span/ mindfulness. My hope in this model is that the founders and leaders have also read Jonathan Haidt, are building an effective tool to accomplish the academics, then the rest of the day engages the kids in real world things they are passionate about and must collaborate etc. I do believe maxing time in nature / travel would be the “ideal”, but to scale across millions of kids- at all socioeconomic, geographic, areas AND provide the coverage (childcare) needed for parents to consistently work- my gut is telling me Alpha is the closest to the sweet spot out in the market place.

Alpha School. People seem to love it. But from my understanding, a good % of the learning is screen time. I'm vehemently against kids using screens (iPad stuff, short form video, etc). But I want to hear who's sent kids to Alpha + how/if the screen time was impactful (negatively). What Joe's doing is super interesting and would be awesome to work. Would love to see it win + have my fears addressed.

@Austen significant competitor to Diet Coke coming out of HEB is the wildest news this year

Omg

@bayeslord worth it though. eventually it will be every hour. at some point we gotta zen out and let the ocean wave.

@catehall iranmonitor.org

where are people getting their news on Iran, since this platform is utterly useless now?

@danlovesproofs maybe if they reverse their ticker

atlassian down 2% on news of the death of issue tracking.

when the cost to write a ticket is equal to the cost of fixing a bug, why keep a backlog?

@ScotAlbayes @jiratickets I hear you, and also language evolves, things have to mean the same thing to both parties for language to work (saying this as someone often misunderstood)

@jiratickets I don’t appreciate millennials or Gen Z telling a generation that invented the thumbs up emoji what the thumbs up emoji means. I will continue to use it as it was intended and will not apologise to people who have skewed its meaning to mean something it isn’t.

Used a 👍 in a message with a young colleague at work today She responded “not the thumbs up emoji” Confused by her surprise, I replied, “no, it is indeed the thumbs up emoji”

@nickcammarata but no use of the actual Projects feature? I’ve realized Projects are silo’d (even from memory) and thus are kinda of a downgrade for the holistic cross-project pattern matching I’ve cone to appreciate

@nicefryroll I’ve played with a bunch rn I just have one chat for each main project I care about, nothing fancy. I’d prob benefit by making it a bit fancier

@simonsarris ah nice, i could have sworn i'd seen you share this precise angle in different seasons so you had me wondering if it was a static location, but the geography didn’t make sense! thanks for clarifying. love those little mavics.

@nicefryroll I have a Mavic Air 2 that I bought a few years ago

@gfodor I had a lingering March 1 position on Kalshi that I was suddenly and surprisingly able to close for a profit.
