What she has created seems like a fringe scenario today for some limited nerdy parents. But who knows agentic parenting w/ homeschooling might go mainstream in a decade or so. At least for folks who can’t afford sending school or where schools are far from where ppl live, etc.

@chamath How will you bring Dario, Altman, Elon, Demis, etc., under one roof to speak as one voice while they are trying to outcompete each other? Each company is working in silos to deliver products at a fast pace, and there's an AI arms race at the national level with China.

If the leadership in the AI movement doesn’t step up quickly, organize around the right “go to market” and create incentives to align everyone, this will be a generational fumble. It is, sadly, happening before our eyes.

@FoxNews You guys need to let him be! The man can’t even enjoy the love he found in his 50s without being reminded of the skeletons buried in the closet of the past. Sigh!

Plastic bans for Canada… plastic cups for Coachella. Former Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau is being labeled a hypocrite for partying with red solo cups at Coachella alongside girlfriend Katy Perry after he led a nationwide effort to ban single-use plastics in Canada while he was in office.

With all its dark themes, the writers of the show somehow tapped into various pop culture zeitgeist in S3E1: the fentanyl crisis at the border, faith, rural family life vs. urban hedonism, the rise of OnlyFans, overregulation of housing in California, Hollywood glamour, etc.

She is so good! The words that stood out, which one can see in whatever context they feel on a given day: “Tiny earth” + “earth is this lifeboat hanging undisturbingly”

@jannik_files It is bonkers what he has achieved by winning this Monte Carlo Open.

@AutismCapital Wiggermaxxing? You learn something new every day. I need to keep up with Gen Z vocabulary.

Honestly? Trudeau living out his teenage scumbag days works for him. Why not? You need to be wiggermaxxing.

@jakeonrails I mean, one can dream. If policymakers learned from their mistake in the last decade, the pendulum might swing the other direction!

Holy shit this slaps San Francisco 2035:

@PF_Jung Someone like Jordan Peterson can predict this ahead of time because of the ability to distill patterns in how humans organize. If they live long enough, acronyms just become a tool for virtue signaling. At the end of the day, you either care or you don’t care for other humans.

We have actually gone from from "LGTBT" to "MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+" 2017 Jordan Peterson has been vindicated (once again)

@ShayWoulahan Hilarious!

People don’t appreciate enough how efficient capital market in search of productivity often leads to innovation. The relationship between capital, productivity & labor is very intricate. Google gave it for free which helped create trillion-$ companies like OpenAI & Anthropic!

On a sunny Sunday by the Golden Gate Bridge on the sand, I sat reading my book, admiring the view at hand. A hummingbird appeared from nowhere in broad daylight, flaunting her colorful wings in the golden light. She stirred my restless past—a stream of consciousness fluttering, lost in an endless dream. After moments of her dance, I softly asked her, “Leave.” She hovered, looked me in the eye, and wouldn’t retrieve. She refused and said to me: “I am your mirror from the past—you cannot get rid of me.”

I always enjoy spending a day at the university and recharging from the next gen! The Berkeley campus on a hot day feels like a carnival but for laid-back folks. I am reading Murakami’s Norwegian Wood, and incidentally the story is set on a college campus, making it more relatable.

Two years ago, I visited @NASA Houston when they were planning the launch of Artemis II. Great to see the liftoff! When all 4 astronauts look back at us from outer space 🪐, all earthly problems might feel insignificant! x.com/nasa/status/20…

What are some of the key metrics to measure the success of missions launched by Artemis II and Artemis III? Are there any new technologies that you think will be useful in near future to the common people, like GPS is today from earlier Space exploration? #WeAreArtemis #NASA

The whole story of Don Valentine’s investment in Apple is epic! It’s covered in depth in the book “The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future” by @scmallaby! It’s hard to comprehend the overall impact on society and the net value creation from that initial risk capital. open.spotify.com/show/5R5SmqhFz…

Great article! One thing @jack doesn't mention here is that when an org structure grows, there is this inevitable conflict of interest between all the hierarchies called the Principal-Agent Problem that becomes imminent (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal…).

@balajis Maybe TL;DR should go at the top :)

This could be the offramp the world needs. You can think of it as the best outcome for everyone, under the circumstances. (1) From MAGA’s perspective, if Trump declares victory here and moves on, the US won’t waste yet more blood and treasure in the Middle East. It won’t invade Iran. It also won’t take all the blame for the ongoing global supply chain crisis. It just pulls out and lets everyone work out the regional security equation for themselves. Trump can say he’s fulfilled both his campaign promises: stop Iran from getting a nuke, but also no endless Middle Eastern wars. (2) From Israel’s perspective, Iran has now been shown to be quite hostile to its neighbors, and its military has been substantially degraded. Stopping now is good. Otherwise there’s a danger of overreacting to Oct 7 as Americans overreacted to Sept 11. Israel can stand back and call it a win, because after a US pullout, Iran will have much less excuse for holding the Strait hostage. (3) From the Iranian diaspora’s perspective, it’s unfortunately clear that the current war isn’t going to result in liberalization. Further attacks would push Iran further into fundamentalism, making it even harder to eventually do a liberal reformation. (4) From the long-suffering Iranian people’s perspective, ending the war now would also save countless lives. Otherwise they’ll get hit by friendly fire and drafted by the regime to fight for fundamentalism. (5) Finally, from the world’s perspective, once the US declares victory and goes home, substantial diplomatic pressure will be applied to Iran to simply open the Strait of Hormuz and allow ships through. Iran’s leadership has shown, perhaps surprisingly, that they care about global public opinion…and they would be on the hook for the suffering of billions of people if the Strait remains blocked. TLDR: if Trump declares victory and leaves, Iran no longer has any excuse for blocking the Strait and holding the global economy hostage. Let the matter be worked out diplomatically with pressure from all the 100+ affected countries on Iran. America shouldn’t have to spend a single cent more, or send a single soldier more, to the Middle East.

@JTLonsdale It’s a good rebuttal to a lot of people that think things are obvious in geo politics!

Balaji is a bright guy but he fled the USA and has set his mind totally against our future success. He lives in a world where US is losing and China is winning. This is his fixation. It’s dangerous, and it’s wrong. And this war has embarrassed China, destroyed their 100 cargo planes of war materials and their military ally, and frustrates them. It’s fair to disagree about the attack. But saying that its architects are guilty of any downside is childlike nonsense. They should be proud of their work and their courage to take on this evil. If you’re against the war, do you get credit for the last two decades of literal mass torture and mass rape and repression by this regime, and its terror funding and death around the region? Do you get credit for “supporting” the billions it spends on social media bots and information operations to polarize the US against ourselves, and weaken the west? Do you also get credit for what would have been the next twenty years of that? Are you, Balaji, responsible for that side of it? No? But if you are for it, you get zero credit for fixing any of that, but blamed for ALL the possible downsides? Total BS. The mullahs holding the region hostage shouldn’t get your help to blame others for the damage they do. Geopolitics and war is complex and there are risks on all sides. There is risk in acting, and in not acting. I’m really glad we are taking advantage of the massive innovation and competence gap that exists at this moment, and finally eliminating so much evil. I hope for freedom for the Iranian people and know that the situation is hard and complex, but either way it is good to stop the bad guys and eliminate so many of the worst groups, who have done so much damage, from history. Nobody should get away with what those bastards did for so long; this was long overdue.

@TheAcademy I don’t believe there can be a winner in the arts because they are highly subjective. In sports, you have a clear set of rules, you compete within them to win a 100m race, tennis match, soccer game, etc. There are no rules in art! I just do it to celebrate cinema.
