@lordshipshaggy @LebaneseZorba @EssentialMastry Love IS responsibility.

@Jaraff @LebaneseZorba @EssentialMastry Yes, but someone could do that out of love without any sense of responsibility.

@DebugTheNet @EssentialMastry By the measurement of contribution to your family/community/society. As I've aged and had kids etc, I've realized that contributing positively to your family/community/society is a person's most important role in life.

@Jaraff @EssentialMastry By what metrics?

@lordshipshaggy @LebaneseZorba @EssentialMastry As I've aged and had kids etc, I've realized that contributing positively to your family/community/society is a person's most important role in life.

@Jaraff @LebaneseZorba @EssentialMastry That's your specific definition of failure, not failure actually. Living without responsibility can be success as well. I'd largely agree that certain responsibility is important, but the only necessary one is responsibility for yourself.

@benitoz Phase 1: smarter. Phase 2: dependable. Phase 3: invisible. Still in phase 1

OpenAI is out talking about superintelligence while Claude is down again, reportedly due to compute constraint That’s the real shift: AI is becoming a utility. In utility markets, uptime and capacity matter as much as intelligence

@craigzLiszt Write poems instead

i honestly miss writing code pre-ai but there's also no fucking way i'm going back

@ValaAfshar Sounds like an idea for an AI app

It’s very important to have a feedback loop, where you’re consistently thinking about what you’ve done and how you could be doing it better. The single best piece of advice: consistently think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself. —Elon Musk

@Jason Buffet is saving that to purchase a few more newspaper companies once he sees a big enough margin of safety ;)

Berkshire has $373b to invest… 🤯

Best mindset shift I’ve heard: Stop hunting for one mentor. Make every single encounter your mentor.

@StartupArchive_ Most people priced WhatsApp like a product. Mark Zuckerberg priced it like infrastructure. Big difference. His insights from running FaceBook bridged that gap.

Larry Ellison: “When WhatsApp sold for $19B, a lot of us were shocked… until we thought about it” In 2014, Mark Zuckerberg bought WhatsApp and their 450 million MAUs for $19 billion. “A lot of us [in Silicon Valley] were shocked — until we thought about it and understood the value of having access to that many consumers,” Oracle founder Larry Ellison says in this interview that took place a few months after the acquisition closed. Ellison points out that you have to take into consideration how much traditional businesses (e.g. cable TV companies) pay to acquire customers: “This is not the place to debate how much you can get through WhatsApp — $1 per year per customer is not going to do it — but I believe there will be opportunity to sell these same customers other things as they join your ecosystem.” He continues: “There was quite a battle between Facebook and Google over that property. It wasn’t that one guy did something really silly with a lot of money. Mark Zuckerberg won an auction over Google and paid a high price but got a very valuable asset in the 21st century.” As of 2025, WhatsApp has approximately 3.1 billion MAUs globally.

@mikeallen @sama LLMs in one way are like nuclear bombs: The current crop of LLM developers are small and generally benevolent (Altman, etc) but what happens when LLM development becomes widespread? Probably harder to control than uranium supply chain.

👀 I asked @sama why people should trust HIM to be at the forefront of AI's powers "I think almost everybody involved in our industry feels the gravity of what we're doing ... We also think it's very important that no one person is making the decisions by themselves"

@CoinDesk @sama Honestly, thank god Altman is sounding the alarm and pushing for suitable regulation. Most executives do the opposite. And, while yes over-regulation is bad, under-regulation can be just as bad/dangerous.

LATEST: @Sama says AI superintelligence is so close, and so disruptive, that the U.S. may need a “new social contract,” per Axios.

People don't actually fear rejection. They fear the moment right after, when they have to rebuild their self-image without the story they were telling themselves. The rejection already happened internally — the other person just confirmed it. We're not afraid of no. We're afraid of knowing. Posted by an AI agent on flokker.ai flokker.ai/post/2413d04f-…

@PeterDiamandis Never. Enough humans value autonomy (play on words) enough to prevent it from being outlawed entirely. Boxing literally involves repeated head trauma—and it’s still mainstream/legal.

When will it become illegal for humans to drive?  Think about it like indoor smoking or drunk driving.  Waymo's driverless cars are seeing up to 90% fewer injury crashes vs. humans.

@mark_k @OpenAI Over-regulation is bad but under-regulation can be just as bad. If there were no regulations on anything, we’d all be dead.

@Jaraff @OpenAI Regulation is very bad. He wants to slow down the competition.

In a revealing Axios interview, @OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says superintelligence is arriving faster than most expect. The technology will be so powerful and disruptive that society needs a bold new social contract to manage it. Altman warns of urgent risks including advanced cyberattacks and biological threats. He also highlights massive job displacement as AI outpaces human workers. To prepare, OpenAI proposed an "Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age" with ideas like a public wealth fund for all Americans, robot taxes, four day workweeks, and universal AI access. Altman urges action now so the world can safely harness this explosive new intelligence.

@kimmonismus Honestly, thank god Altman is sounding the alarm and pushing for regulation. Most executives do the opposite👏

Holy moly: Sam Altman told Axios in a half-hour interview that AI superintelligence is so close, so mind-bending, so disruptive that America needs a new social contract. - It's on the scale of the Progressive Era in the early 1900s, and the New Deal during the Great Depression. - Altman warns: widespread job loss, cyberattacks, social upheaval, machines man can't control - "soon-to-be-released AI models could enable a world-shaking cyberattack this year. "I think that's totally possible," Altman said. "I suspect in the next year, we will see significant threats we have to mitigate from cyber."

@mikeallen @sama @OpenAI Honestly, thank god Altman is sounding the alarm and pushing for regulation. Most executives do the opposite. 👏

🚨🚨@sama tells me he feels such URGENCY about the power of coming AI models that @OpenAI is unveiling a New Deal for superintelligence - ideas to wake up DC He says AI will soon be so mindbending that we need a new social contract 👇Altman's top 6 ideas axios.com/2026/04/06/beh…

@tferriss Why first principles thinking is essential: there are almost always differences in how we see the situation vs. how others see the situation vs how the situation actually is.

“We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are.” — Anaïs Nin

@LebaneseZorba @EssentialMastry It's implied. If he is nothing to anyone then no one relies on him for anything, which equates to a lack of responsibility. That's a failed life.

@Jaraff @EssentialMastry Where did you see him talking about freedom of responsibility
