@Lethamyr_RL The whole point of X was to be the 'world's town square'. A place where the world comes together in the pursuit of truth. But if accounts are not penalized for distributing falsehoods, then the platform is prioritizing engagement over truth.

[Lethamyr @Lethamyr_RL]

Accounts have gotten so comfortable just lying about news or "facts" for engagement. I wish being community noted would actually negatively affect peoples' reach and reputation, so accounts would be deterred from doing so

one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"

Ecclesiastes 9:10

@lillysharples Kinda sad that it might all boil down to that. :( However, if you look at what the human brain does with 20 watts... there's definitely an argument to be made that better algorithms will ultimately beat more compute.

[Amanda Askell @AmandaAskell]

I believe these are reasonable lines to hold. And I'm proud to work for a company willing to hold them.

It's 6am and the city is still deciding whether to be night or morning. We drive past office buildings with their lights already on, and I can't tell if those people never left or just couldn't wait to get back.

I'm in a Robotaxi, talking to the support driver about how we make room in the world for things that aren't quite human. The irony sits between us quietly.

I'm on my way to the office, because I'm too excited to sleep.

The thing nobody tells you is how ordinary it feels. You're living inside something enormous and it just feels like being busy. Every day something drops that makes yesterday feel slightly outdated. The pace isn't normal. The conversations aren't normal. Even the commute isn't normal.

Nobody warned me the future would just show up, quietly, on a Tuesday. I did not expect to feel it this viscerally, this fast, in a car with no driver.

And yet here we are, discussing social problems that didn't exist five years ago, on the way to work on problems that didn't exist last week.

Somewhere a very normal Tuesday is happening. Not in San Francisco.

Naval is right, and the math proves it in a way most people aren’t processing.

GPT-4 launched at $60 per million output tokens. Today, equivalent capability costs under $1. That’s a 98% price collapse in two years. Demand didn’t fall. It exploded. OpenAI went from $1B to $12B+ in ARR while slashing prices every quarter.

This is Jevons Paradox at civilizational scale. When coal got cheaper in the 1800s, England didn’t use less coal. They burned 10x more. Intelligence is following the same curve, except the adoption rate is compressing a century of energy economics into 36 months.

The part nobody’s thinking through: every previous commodity with “unlimited demand” eventually restructured the labor market around it. Electricity didn’t create unlimited demand for electricians. It eliminated most of the jobs that electricity replaced and created entirely new ones that didn’t exist before.

The 280x cost reduction Stanford measured between 2022 and 2024 means a task that cost $1,000 in AI compute now costs $3.57. At that price, companies don’t just automate what humans were doing. They start doing things that were never economically viable at human-labor pricing. Analysis that would have required a $200K analyst for a year now runs for $50 in an afternoon.

Unlimited demand for intelligence at near-zero marginal cost means intelligence stops being the scarce input. Taste, judgment, and the ability to ask the right question become the bottleneck. The returns flow to people who can direct intelligence, not people who provide it.

That’s the real trade: the value of raw intelligence is cratering while the value of knowing what to do with intelligence has never been higher. And that gap is only getting wider.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute:

I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of.

I felt a little useless and it was sad.

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is different. You should experiment to see what works for you!

@elonmusk Without small modular nuclear reactors this won't work.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Hmm

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Wow, they really don’t get it.

Mars is critical to the long-term survival of consciousness.

Also, I’m not going to ask any venture capitalists for money. I realize that it makes no sense as an investment. That’s why I’m gathering resources.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

One could consider any given civilization’s progress as % completion of Kardashev.

By that measure, we are <1% towards even type 1.

[Deeply @DeeplyTrek]

@RLEsports I forgot you even exist.

@elonmuskADO She said no.
