New blog post: The third wave of American philanthropy Hundreds of billions of dollars in new philanthropic capital will soon become liquid. The OpenAI Foundation holds 26% of OpenAI, worth about $220B at today’s valuation. Anthropic’s seven co-founders have pledged to give away 80% of their wealth and have instituted the most aggressive donor matching program for employees in tech history. How much does this all add up to? And how meaningful is that in the context of philanthropy today? I was doing some simple napkin math to wrap my head around the scale of what’s coming, and radicalized myself in the process. I had dramatically underappreciated the scale of the philanthropic capital that’s about to become available and the corresponding gap in talent and organizations that will be needed to make the most of it. This piece aims to directionally sketch the scale of what’s coming, the gap in operational capacity needed to absorb it, and what we can do to fill it. (Link to full post in reply)

@SteveMichaelsss Thank you!! I just might

@tamarawinter Great photo! You should consider making that your profile pic

Wright’s vision for the island city was a “Jules Verne-esque design… resolutely futuristic… apartments for 7,500 residents, rising like a stack of offset, alternating dishes. Above these dwelling floors, and separated by sundecks, would be a crescent of seven corrugated, candlestick-shaped towers containing more apartments and a 500-room hotel.” At the center of it all, Wright placed “a huge globe, seemingly pockmarked by eons of meteor collisions, and held aloft by plastic canopies protecting the plazas below.”

Pretty cool analysis of AI use on Substack by @TaylorLorenz

I loved this profile; @benjwallace captured @dwarkesh_sp brilliantly. I think as A.I. gets better and easier to use than ever, it will become really clear who actually does the reading. If Dwarkesh has any superpower, it’s that.

@josephcohen looove; reminiscent of Honda's first Super Cub ads (but not at all derivative!)

We designed Olto to be the ultimate bike lane vehicle. Two passengers. 40 miles of range. Cargo capacity. Theft proof. No license, no registration, no insurance. $3,495, about a quarter of what the average used car costs. Bike-lane legal in 50 states. Olto is now shipping nationwide. To celebrate, we’re launching our Spring Campaign featuring ~100 New Yorkers from all walks of life. It goes live today around NYC and on the internet. We’re very excited for Olto to be in the world and for all kinds of people to make it a part of their lives. Oh the places you will go.

@max_spero_ @NatPurser Insane torching of goodwill…and for what exactly

A major US newspaper publisher is rolling out an AI-generated content farm that will use the bylines of real reporters without their consent.

@AdamMantine @mattyglesias More productive to think about the ways in which antisocial dog owners have degraded public spaces, especially in big cities. Dogs shouldn't be in e.g. grocery stores or restaurants, they shouldn't generally be off-leash, and people are sick of seeing dog poop all over the place

@mattyglesias Why is being mean to dogs so en vogue among twitter’s elite? It’s like a consensus to hate dogs.

@umbersorrow Now I want to go through more of our books to see, but here’s @_brianpotter, whose first acknowledgement was to his wife ❣️

does anyone know of any intellectual, academic, novelist, or anyone else who has published a book who has included in their acknowledgments section (or anywhere else in writing) thanks to a nanny (or anyone else) for taking care of their children while they wrote the book?

@helendewitt as it should be!! so happy for you

I am delighted and more honored than I can possibly say - the Emergent Ventures program at the Mercatus Center has offered me a grant of $175,000 with no requirements of any kind in the way of publicity, attendance at meetings, or anything else.

@yb_effect @tylercowen @AvitalBalwit I think about this constantly! I was already an analog person but have become even more so in the last two years.

@tamarawinter @tylercowen @AvitalBalwit heard Tyler mention this on David Perell's How I write pod a year ago and haven't been able to get it out of my head since

Years ago @tylercowen and @AvitalBalwit wrote that AI increases the value of secrets. It clearly also increases the value of *print*. (Regardless, the Internet Archive is an invaluable resource and it would be horrible to lose or neuter it.)
