@tomfgoodwin convinced it is people not in cities

[Connor Garrity 🪐🌱 @ConNGarrity]

Crazy thing about AI LLM's to me is they immediately jump to fully editing or writing a memo or draft even if something is well written and you didn't ask them to do that. They are almost programmed to get people dependent on them for writing instead of offering clear feedback

@JCMacriNBA @grok can jose pick up his option and then sign extension. Doubtful otherwise correct

"Sometimes I get down,
I look at my hands,
I look in the mirror,
I think: I'm not a movie star,
I'm not a famous athlete,
I don't own a yacht,
I don't have a million dollars...
And then I remember I am Bukowski.
And I smile."

If money can buy it, care less about it. One of my favorite personal mantras. Good example is career. There's a number that exists that would probably make you quit your job or choose a different one

Compare this to your health, relationships, etc. Get offered generational wealth, but pretend you'd need to permanently live with excruciating back pain in exchange. Someone hands you a billion dollars, but requires you to cut off everyone you love

No shot. Wouldn't even entertain the hypothetical for a second. This tells you everything. Makes you realize that whatever aspects of your life can be tangibly bought are ironically the cheapest things in your life

If you agree then pay no mind to the BS. Fake corporate urgency, disrespectful managers or clients, getting passed up for a promotion, losing a deal or whatever, etc. The emotional investment never justifies the value. Take literally none of it seriously. Don't give any of it power or control over your wellbeing

Know your battles and choose them intentionally. Laugh and relax in the face of what doesn't matter. But with what does matter, go all in. The things that actually matter will always be objectively priceless

So the $8 you pay for X premium correlates to $1200 in SpaceX market cap sigh

This is how I know we are in a bubble, SBF was a reckless shit and he wasn't actually that smart to have 100X returns across every investment

[John LeFevre @JohnLeFevre]

SBF’s sleepless prison nights just got worse...

In 2022, Alameda (FTX) dropped $200k into Cursor pre-seed → ~5% stake at a ~$4M valuation.

FTX bankruptcy sold the entire position back at cost.

Today, that 5% would be worth $3B - a 15,000x return.

[Connor Garrity 🪐🌱 @ConNGarrity]

@benjamin_horne Cursor already lol

Also probably going to be a holding company for all the other AI companies if shit hits the fan. They can simply sell more equity or buy in their overvalued stock.

Elon also is the only AI CEO who actually ruthlessly understands energy storage & data center builds as a moat

[Ben Horne @benjamin_horne]

I would never short SpaceX stock despite it's absurd valuation because all Elon has to do is say "wE'rE GoiNg tO mArS" anytime the stock dips, and all the godless little heathen sheep—who have substituted religious faith with Elon's false promise that they will live to see Star Trek manifested—will obediently buy more shares on Robinhood.

I love this "Evolution of a Knicks Family" graphic from CBS Sports! It's very similar to my life.

[coopz @Coopz___]

I don’t know how to explain this phenomenon, but a Knicks championship might trigger a butterfly effect that reaches far beyond sports. In the largest city in America, a moment of collective joy could ripple outward, accelerating unity, restoring hope, and briefly making people forget the divisions that separate them

[Juliette Kayyem @juliettekayyem]

I think between the Knicks joy and the local/visitor “we like each other” vibes of the World Cup, Americans are experiencing something wholly patriotic, fun, accepting, insane, and without meanness or ego driven.

The UFC timing couldn’t be worse for Trump. This ship has sailed ⬇️.

[Neal Parikh @npparikh]

Anthony Bourdain wrote about this. This was his pitch for Parts Unknown. Trust me, read the whole thing.

[Connor Garrity 🪐🌱 @ConNGarrity]

Widespread religion at least used to be some help with this

[Connor Garrity 🪐🌱 @ConNGarrity]

I think a lot of problems are basically powerful people are no longer able to be accurately called out on their bullshit, especially especially powerful men. Just look at Ceo's of many of these AI companies and lets check back in 5 years.

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

SERIOUS QUESTION: Do you ever really get overwhelmed by how our current reality is a genuine dystopian nightmare yet everyone still acts like it is completely normal ??

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

AI spending is massively skewed toward a small share of power users.

[roon @tszzl]

every good outcome I’ve seen has been from finding a secret and doubling, tripling down on it in a way that compounds over time. not necessary that it even remains a secret because nobody ever believes you anyways; if it was something easy to accept it wouldn’t be available

[sean yoo @SeanYoo]

not enough credit is going to wu tang clan. they performed at half and propelled this comeback. they deserve a ring.
