I recall a @MOZ_Podcast episode where we had two AI founders on (one quite prominent), and I insisted AI would, like every prior productivity enhancement for coding, increase the number and salary of devs, and they smugly dismissed the thought and fantasized about single-person unicorns. Their companies’ job pages are as long as ever.

How is this not bigger news in tech/security circles. Jaguar Land Lover lost $250M (£200M) and counting thanks to a cyberattack that it still couldn’t mitigate. This is growing every week. The cost of underinvesting in security is very real. 1+ month recovery is bonkers

Super late to this party, but @cursor_ai sure is impressive. Not just for interpreting some vast body of code, but for understanding the bigger technical and business context of the product itself. I pointed it at Spindl's onchain ads protocol, and it gave me a 2,000-word blog post on why it matters, concrete use cases, and how it fits into the bigger picture of both crypto and ad tech that was 100% correct.

Easier to establish a Mars colony than fix the Federal government. Easier to build crypto than fix the banking system. Easier to attempt network states than fix liberal democracy. Easier to homeschool with AI than fix schools. Easier to read Substack than fix media. Funny how we're more or less abandoning most institutions in favor of the tech nuke-and-pave approach.

This brilliant chart explains why Xi has more leverage than Trump in the trade war. It's pretty simple: China exports high-tech goods to the US, while the US exports low-tech goods to China. China can replace its imports from the US more easily than the other way around.

I'm always amused when people are shocked by people doing exactly what they said they’d do. Everything that has happened over the past week was publicly announced months ago. Stephen Miran, widely viewed as the architect of Trump's trade policy, published a paper "A User’s Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System" in November of 2024, laying out everything that has happened (as well as many things that are yet to come).

THE SHORT BEAR@TheShortBear·
The 2 biggest potential days out of 13 years of career have happened within 2 days of each other. Wild times. I'll never forget today. Could have made 9fig no problem, that's been only possible on 3 days in 12 years of my career. Today, 2 days ago and the $GME day.

For a good sold in the US for $100, ~$12 go to China (base for tarrif). The rest, $88 for the design + shipping + wholesale + retail + branding, etc. go to US taxpayers! If demand for it drops by 50%, China loses $6 and US agents more than $44, that is 7x more contraction.

I explained to 12 yo that Trump thinks that a poor country that ships a lot of raw materials to American manufacturers but can't afford to buy much from us is taking advantage of us. He couldn't believe it.

Who has a higher short term pain tolerance: Person A: - Governs a democratic society addicted to consumption with zero tolerance for inflation - Is going to witness immediate shortages and price increases - Has zero capacity to reroute the lost imports into domestic production in the short term - Is in an economic war with every country on earth simultaneously Person B: - Governs an autocratic dictatorship with zero dissent allowed - Overseas a society that inherently believe in self sacrifice for the greater good of the motherland - Trying to ramp up domestic consumption, and could easily stimulate consumers domestically to buy otherwise would be exports - Is in an economic war with only 1 country on earth Answer honestly.

An interesting thing about Git is that basically everyone I've ever worked with has a slightly Git different workflow and their own set of custom aliases
