Building a group for right wing guys who are positive about AI and want to network / discuss ideas.
We’re looking to add men who are using the tools already and building things.
Not a meme, politics, or religious discussion group.
Reply and I’ll add you as I have time.

Do we have a rw AI group chat yet

@danielpearson Next step is to find an agent/broker who will show you the pocket listings

@GarrettCAllen We’ve been in multiple bidding wars for rentals already, it’s wild
English
From the trenches in the SF housing search: It is so insane. Feels like peak mania. People are bidding on places, especially "nice" places, like they are the last home on earth.
Rentals are going within a day after bidding wars.
Homes are selling for millions over ask, Follow @rohindhar to see examples.
If you're in a rent controlled spot, do not dream of moving. If you're moving to SF, good luck!

@sarthakgh Or removing rent control, which locks in tenants, reduces rental housing supply, and artificially raises prices for everyone else
English
If only allowing more homes was an option to this really hard problem

This is an interesting analysis of AI’s impact on the San Francisco housing market. A question worth asking is why doesn’t the influx of funds generate a construction boom and tons of good blue-collar jobs instead of this displacement dynamic?

The hack would’ve been reversed

As you read about Anthropic's Mythos capabilities to find critical security weaknesses, consider what if a Chinese AI company had gotten here first. There is a real race underway, and its in our interest I believe for U.S. companies to win.

@cremieuxrecueil @TianaTheFirst They drive so slow. Being stuck behind one encourages reckless behavior

Reminder:
Waymo is so safe that if every car was driven like a Waymo, about 9% of America's life expectancy gap would disappear.
9 percent!
Americans die in car accidents *that often*.
Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil
About 10% of America's life expectancy shortfall is due to motor vehicle accidents—fixed by Waymo and Tesla. About 18% is overdoses—that's fading now. And the lion's share of the rest is obesity-related. America will soon be buying its way out of its poor life expectancy issue.

Going to the socialist job fair for market research and shorting all the companies there

@tunguz Just think about the type of people it would bring to those small towns

As someone who has driven up and down the West coast, and through each and every one of those cities in particular, I think this is a terrible idea. Most of those places are tiny and with no need of high speed rail. Highway 1 that connects them is one of the most beautiful and scenic drives in the country, surrounded by pristine unspoiled nature for long stretches. A major construction project would destroy all of it.

Imagine this, but with every city connected with high speed rail.

Yes Anduril has a pretty solid track record of predicting the future of warfare so when they have a new hidden page on their website you better pay attention.

The Hill & Valley Forum@HillValleyForum
Anduril co-founder @traestephens: "The things we were building weren't really clear until very recently that this was the future of warfare. Had we gotten that bet wrong, the company wouldn't have worked." "We need a lot of companies out there making bets about where the future is headed so that by the time we enter into that future we actually have the capabilities, the products, the technology that are required."

@geoffreywoo Why wouldn’t Claude and Codex just make the software on their own instead of using another SaaS product’s APIs
English
every saas founder who doesnt convert to api-first architecture in the next 6 months will get obliterated by agents
your beautiful dashboard means nothing when codex and claude can call your endpoints directly
stop building interfaces, start building infrastructure

@sfchronicle They clearly didn’t do anything to help prevent the fires in LA

The Trump administration announced this week it will shut down six of eight U.S. Forest Service research facilities in California as part of a major national reorganization that could leave the state underequipped to manage escalating wildfire and drought threats. sfchronicle.com/california-wil…

@santiagoroel Fear setting also helps with this

Replace your current fear with a bigger one.
Some of the best risk takers in history had traumas so deep that business failure wasn’t even a real fear by comparison.
Don’t believe you need to have experienced deep trauma to overcome your fears. You need to put it into perspective.
Just ask yourself “how bad can this actually get?”
I first came across this concept in “Who Knew” by Barry Diller. His personal fear was so consuming that business risk was irrelevant. He went on to build a media empire.

@vasuman @thejustinguo East cut/Rincon hill is a nice compromise

OpenAI acquiring @tbpn makes zero sense to me (an M&A professor).

@jaltma You were already acquired by Benchmark. Only @nikitabier can be acquired twice for the same product

@paulg Funny how people change their usual way of writing/talking because people may think they're AI
English
Sadly, one way I now recognize fake AI-generated replies is that AIs write punchier sentences than most ordinary humans.
