When I was young, the UK and Norway both started drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea Thatcher WASTED the proceeds on privatisation and tax cuts for the rich Norway put it into a National Wealth Fund to help generations of Norwegians
Robert Jenrick@RobertJenrick

Britain has paid Norway over £100 billion for gas since 2021. For gas they’re drilling in the North Sea, the same sea Ed Miliband has banned new drilling in on the British side. Madness.

There's an old saying in Schelling—I know it's in Hegel, probably in Schelling—that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as... as... tragedy... the second time as... as... it's funny if it happens again

Its very important to "waste time" and be bored when you're young (and even when you're not young). That's when you just follow your instinct and it leads you down fascinating rabbit holes. We need to be less obsessed with productivity overall as a society

seeing 18 yos try to grind startups is heartbreaking to me. when i was that age i would spend all day in the college library finding obscure books nobody will ever read. not a single care about what i will do with that knowledge. easily the most valuable time of my life

David Moyes doing an outstanding job at Everton. The second time - two decades apart - he's taken the club from relegation fringes to possible UCL contention without serious investment. Doesn't speak the LinkedIn language or hide behind philosophy talk so he goes under the radar.

If people are continually pilloried and rejected because their writing (intentionally or not) resembles an LLM whose output is designed to be as average and frictionless as possible, they might have to actually develop craft. Terrible!

In the Reddit post about Shy Girl, the phrase "quiet violence" is argued to be a ChatGPT signature. Ngl this reads like something I would write. I'm glad Shy Girl was pulled (the author admitted that AI was used for editing) but I worry about LLMs' impact on style and voice.

Sure, by design, LLMs’ signatures will be common cliches. But if no human ever writes a sentence again like “his quiet violence was too sharp, too sudden—no warning, just danger. The air was heavy, humming like a song with too much meaning”, that’s fine. We’ll be fine without it

Happy Birthday to Timothy Dalton! He approached the role of 007 with thoughtfulness & intentionality. He wanted to go back to Fleming & he nailed it. #JamesBond ⚪️⚪️⚪️🔴
