people don’t realize that the majority of toilets go unused all day
imagine a future where your toilet can go out into the world and make money for you
imagine renting out your self driving toilet to your neighbours
To conclude that thought, if the US economy continues to pick up momentum—even booms—while inflation slips to 0-1% or below during the next few years, as we believe is likely, Kevin Warsh’s Fed will not stand in the way. The Fed is shifting from fighting growth to encouraging it.
It struck me while walking the dog.
AI -- and especially Agentic AI -- is a multiplier.
And the reason some orgs are struggling with it... they're (wait for it)
MULITPLYING BY ZERO
If you try to agent a thing you're not able to do currently, you WILL fail 100%.

yeah, we were sitting at a coffee shop in vienna, and i said: let's write a shitty python web app framework. armin was like "that's a brilliant idea, but i don't know how to program". so i went ahead and taught armin, which explains the python. the rest is history.
Being with someone who is your intellectual match, will become more important than you think.
Be able to have great conversations.
Having a pretty or handsome idiot may seem fun, but as the years pass their early looks shift, and then you're just left with....an idiot.
Steve Jobs never let his kids touch an iPad. Bill Gates banned phones until age 14.
Chris Anderson, ex-Wired editor, called screens "more dangerous than crack."
And I agree. We used to let our oldest use an iPad and saw an increase in behavior issues. We stopped that and don't let our kids use smartphones or iPads.
If they do they're using a Daylight, which is a screen built without blue light. This turns down the addictive factor.
People in tech know exactly what these products do to a developing brain. They literally engineered them to be addictive.
I'm not saying to not let your kids near these things because every situation is different.
But the mounting evidence is damning. If I want my kids' brains to develop in a healthy way, I'm keeping them off til they get older.
Men who have 2 orgasms a week have a 50% decreased risk of all-cause mortality.
Sex improves cardiovascular function, increases oxytocin, and lowers inflammation. It's one of the best medicines on the planet.

There’s a lesson there.
if you are the only one who can build this amazing tech and believe it is super dangerous, it’s very easy: you quit for the sake of humanity.
if you are not the only one who can do it, you are definitely over-valued.
you can’t claim to be both.
