Introducing Possible, a new podcast! I hope you’ll listen because: - it’s full of tactical optimism for the future - it’s hosted by @reidhoffman + @AriaIrene - it’s, we think, the first pod to use @OpenAI's GPT-4 - I loved creating it and hope you enjoy link.chtbl.com/thepossiblepod…

@TheRewatchables @BillSimmons Announce a Seattle show, then move it to OKC.

It’s okay for hard things to be hard. On the subject of AI and writing, I like the way George Saunders puts it:

i regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and almost always from: - getting humiliated - showing up terrified and doing it anyway - admitting you might be the problem

I have often wondered what “self-actualization” looks like. this is it. And keep in mind how amazing sports photographers are. The look on Alysia Liu’s face.… wapo.st/4qMhIXc

@tamarawinter Needed, Tammy! ToMS > WoN. And the man has bars. "Man naturally desires, not only to be loved, but to be lovely; or to be that thing which is the natural and proper object of love." 🔥

I’m not sure it’s very “needed”, but I’ve wanted to republish Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments for years in a beautiful, hardbound edition. Was formative for me, maybe even more so than The Wealth of Nations.

Love seeing @stewartbrand in the @NewYorker, writing about three of the books that informed MAINTENANCE. New to me: THE SCOTTISH ENLIGHTENMENT by Arthur Herman, about Scotland’s particular contributions to the modern world: newyorker.com/books/book-cur…

Also, read once that Kintsugi has three main techniques: crack repair (joining), piece-method (filling gaps), and joint-call (using fragments from different broken objects to complete a piece). That last one is 💯: making one broken thing whole with shards of another.

The best excuse to follow the light around the house.

Fork-shaped. Brie gets it and says it, just so, every tine.

it is now Q2 of the 21st century

its the final day of stripe city. details on how we built it in the following posts > bfcm.stripe.com

"We will call the 12th month of the year 'December'... which means 'tenth month.'"

@narrowd Endorse! And which one is designing your 3D globes these days? 🌎 😏

To anybody considering having kids. We had 4. One just became my accountant. Another other is my lawyer. I have no interest in doing those things so am happy to pay them to do it. YMMV

@zebriez have often used “on the level” — a recognition of a shared altitude (after all you only get that they get if you both get it)

I'm looking for a word for "get it-ness." Something to describe that sense you get of a person that "gets it." Usually immediately apparent. contenders that are close but not quite it: awake. in the details/close to the metal. high-agency.

@nearcyan but but pyramodeil was right there

this generalizes up to the CEO and into the 3rd dimension. sam is pyramidal, yet dario is slinkish

@soleio I see @typochondriac 👀

As of yesterday First of Kind, Season 2 is in the can. Can’t wait to share a fresh batch of conversations with today’s design pioneers.

Your brain will invent fake problems for you if you don't go out and find real ones

@Jeff_Holmes @cowenconvos @tylercowen Which next guest he'd be open to flipping the script with and have ask *him* the questions? (along the lines of the great ep #21 with @patrickc.)

I'll be recording the year-end episode of @cowenconvos soon with @tylercowen. What should I ask him?
