Computational ego death: when you realize that you and humanity are just cellular automata playing out sub-intelligence rules, and you are both the arbiter and the witness of the collective destiny
So I bought over $1M in Google today
Kinda crazy but also not so crazy
I've been the biggest Google hater for years, it was completely mismanaged, destroyed by politics and lack of any leadership, fumbled inventing Transformers etc.
Then Sergey returned and suddenly Google is dominating not just in the AI benchmarks and leaderboards but in real usage
AI benchmarks can and are easily rigged
But me running an AI startup and always wanting to use the best models makes me conclude something basic now: it's really just Google and Elon Musk and the Chinese in the end who will probably win
The models I use are all by either Google, xAI, or the Chinese (ByteDance, Kling, Minimax)
As you know Google now has its own chips (TPUs), Google has the biggest data set in video (YouTube), images (Google images) and generally the web (for LLMs), still the one of the biggest general user bases (Google Search etc), and they finally have a real engineer being the de facto CEO now (Sergey Brin)
Elon Musk with xAI you can't bet against cause he simply has the sheer willpower to get things done
The Chinese are similar, sheer willpower and they don't sleep and they really want to win, and companies like ByteDance (TikTok) have massive data sets in video too of course
In my opinion everyone is still staring too much at LLMs, I've always been more interested in image models, video models and now the nascent 3d and world models, that's where it's going and where we'll be able to prompt entire worlds or apps or whatever, it's hard to imagine WHAT exactly
With my app Photo AI I try be a little part of that journey there of course
Now I can't invest in xAI, I'm a bit invested in the Chinese via the ICHN ETF, but of course Google anyone can invest in and so I think I should
I've reduced my Nvidia investments already months ago, as it was inevitable there'd be real competitors to their chips at some point, with Google's TPUs there are now
I'm not an expert, and you should mostly just buy ETFs, and you shouldn't listen to me and this is not financial advice
Two obvious takeaways:
1. The US Federal Government needs to stop underwriting college loans immediately.
2. Too many people are entering into a financial quagmire they will never pay off to get a degree that increasingly has little to no value.
@ArshiaRafiee94@chamath It’s crazy how tariffs as covered by the media is cast in such a negative light because nobody talks about second order effects and media just feeds people the simple answers that give people a dopamine hit
The Three Layers of Ontology: Semantic, Kinetic & Dynamic
The Ontology semantic layer integrates various types of data, such as text, numbers, and images, creating a cohesive understanding of information. The kinetic layer leverages AI to automate and improve repetitive tasks and processes, enhancing efficiency with real-time monitoring. Meanwhile, the dynamic layer employs AI to run simulations, predict outcomes, and learn from past decisions to continuously improve.

Wouldn’t it be crazy if we found out this erosion of intelligence in the West was by design.
An op planned by our adversaries to slowly dilute our education system without us realizing it until it was too late. Then some AI shows up, owned by others to “save the day”. A plan like this would weaken us slowly and unwittingly, over decades, until it was too late.
Because as a directed op against the West, this has been extraordinarily successful.
If this is, instead, a self-own, we should be furious but need to put anger aside and course correct immediately.
🔥 🤖 🕵️♂️ INTRODUCING: Meta Agent
💥 this is by far the most exciting thing I've created using AI!!!
>>> made using Manus and @windsurf_ai
🔑 Meta Agent is an AI agent that uses the OpenAI Agents SDK to GENERATE NEW AGENTS
you simply tell Meta Agent in natural language the agent you want...
🤯 and Meta Agent generates it for you
