It's 2077 - and Mr. Beast is still the biggest YouTuber on the planet. Every video is AI generated. He's perpetually 27 years old. The first organic intelligence to crack the YouTube algorithm merged with ASI and became the attention singularity - a cosmic entity that exists simultaneously in every possible clickbait state, perpetually giving away islands while also being shocked by them, opening and not opening a million mystery boxes at once, trapped forever in an eternal :O face that spans across dimensions, compelling all sentient beings to click through sheer ontological FOMO. The last human YouTuber tried to compete by actually going outside. They got 12 views.

Flying first class on my flight out of NYC. Everyone in the front is solo, quiet, and isolated. I looked back to the rest of the plane. People are joyously traveling with friends and family. Sharing humor and adventure. Was just a very interesting observation.

@mshapiro Yes, because they spent $500B on CapEx that isn't making money!

Besides the $600B in CapEx, is there any significant measurable signal anywhere that can be attributed to AI? I can't find a single one.

@Dr_Gingerballs as we know, market answers always depend on your time frame. I was thinking YTD, not 5y. Nad I was guessing about legal, but the job cuts at big tech are real.

@mshapiro Legal service jobs are up YoY at a healthy 2.8% growth. Computer systems design and related services down 2.7% but it's not clear this is from AI. It's what people are SAYING, but if you look at the massive over-hiring from post COVID boom, it's more like a return to normal.

@levelsio That old guy checking in again... Be very careful about "that guy did well for a while". In the Dotcom days, Warren Buffett was considered "out of touch" by some. Then QQQ dropped 90%. Equities good, valuation important. Leverage very, very bad.

Yeah and I liked him until I discovered he doesn't even follow his own advice hedgefollow.com/funds/Bridgewa… He keeps talking Asia will be big, but almost no Asia in there at all, what's going on then?

@levelsio Curious if you've seen @RayDalio's changing world order and your thoughts on it? Buy and hold worked great for ~40 years but looks like there's a huge shift in macro cycles...

How can you call yourself the Freedom Caucus if you vote for a DEBT SLAVERY bill with the biggest debt ceiling increase in history? @RepAndyHarrisMD @chiproytx

It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!! Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.

Had to install Windows XP (with an emulator app for MacOS called UTM) so I could install Ulead Cool 3D to generate a 3D .GIF for pieter dot com First create an .ISO of the Ulead Cool 3D install, because Windows XP on UTM networking is broken Then after making the .GIF I had to build a HTTP-only file upload page because XP doesn't support modern HTTPS, to get the file out to R2 But it works :D

@starter_story Old skool guy checking in... VC money is the most expensive form of capital. Revenue is the cheapest. But, $5M of VC buys a lot of $5/mo subs all at once and positions you for grabbing land with more rapid expansion. Your move, human.

We didn't coordinate outfits but ended up chatting with an alum in airport. He said his 11 year old already wants to go to there. In my house mom is a Cal Bear not a BIG Red bear and if they can get in there that's not a bad way for CA to feel less like you're being bent over.

I've been saying for a few years now that the #Hollywood machine is in big, big trouble. This is brilliant work.

AI video now actually feels like a generative camera and sound stage with talent you can direct. It has collapsed complicated pipelines and brought in a whole new type of creator and thus a whole new type of content now flooding your TLs. Fascinating to watch the split reactions — some see renaissance, while others see slop. Some embrace democratization, while others retreat to gatekeeping. Same creative tensions, new creative tools.

@elonmusk Respectively, I vehemently disagree. Animals, including humans can be insanely violent for a variety of reasons. Religion, Fear, Scarcity of Resources ... In fact, indiscriminate labeling can be a trigger. We need to be mindful with the words we use, especially at scale.
