So after all these hours talking about AI, in these last five minutes I am going to talk about: Horses. Engines, steam engines, were invented in 1700. And what followed was 200 years of steady improvement, with engines getting 20% better a decade. For the first 120 years of that steady improvement, horses didn't notice at all. Then, between 1930 and 1950, 90% of the horses in the US disappeared. Progress in engines was steady. Equivalence to horses was sudden.

the ibm selectric typewriter has the most beautiful cover page i've seen on any technical manual (the balls are interchangeable - for fonts - pieces that strike the paper to form letters)

it's low-status to have ethical concerns in silicon valley. people give you a buzzkilling glare. gambling for kids? they love it, check out our revenue. finetuning chatgpt to maximize conversation length? what, do you hate innovation? investing in directly competing companies? cmon man we're saving humanity here and im the main character

Every startup now is like "We found a cool way to monetize undermining the social contract!"

two years ago, i took a gap year to work at a startup in lake tahoe. as i was getting ready to return to school, josh’s tweet about the thrive fellowship caught my attention. candidly, i thought there was no chance i would be considered amongst the mass of talented T10 students. that was not me. my exposure to tech was: - a job at best buy in high school - reading python for dummies at 19 - a founding eng role at a small startup thrive gave my application a fair review and ultimately accepted me into the fellowship. at the end, they gave me a standing offer to join full time with no pressure to drop out. other fellows went on to start companies, research, and invest. i accepted and the past year has been remarkable. the fellowship gave me the opportunity i needed to fully break into tech. now, it’s your turn. apply below.
