If we want to avoid the twin dangers of Hobbesian chaos and Orwellian tyranny in a world of dizzying progress toward autonomous AI agents, we should pick up two tools: the common law of agency and public ledgers of digital rewards.

By 2030, trillion dollar companies will be created near instantaneously by dictated shower thoughts. Elite office space will be converted almost entirely to showers. This is real AI water crisis no one is talking about.

One thing vibe coding a bespoke personal app shows you is just how much work goes into the ergonomics of consumer tech. So much A/B testing to reduce frictions that you, almost by definition, aren’t conscious of. Not an insurmountable barrier but a latent strength of scale.

If intelligence emerges socially, that’s actually very good news. It means human connection isn’t merely sentimental—it’s fundamental.

Had what I thought was going to be a great convo with my 8-year-old last night about crypto. Began with him asking what crypto was, but went off the rails when he asked me why it was so deadly to Superman.

Maybe I'll refer him to his new word search book. Puzzle 46, on point.

Fascinating how major AI breakthroughs in Q4 2024 were largely overlooked or downplayed in MSM while DeepSeek is getting pretty wall-to-wall coverage. The perceived "Sputnik" quality is a powerful psychological factor.

Executive Order on Digital Assets and Financial Technology Is a Great Start

In my timeline now:
* a consumer AI browser agent completing tasks;
* an opensource frontier AI model running on a Raspberry Pi;
* an EO that adopts policy supporting self-custody of digital assets;
* The SEC rescinding a bulletin discriminating against digital assets.

2/ Priorities are:
- providing clarity on who must register
- designing *realistic* paths to registration
- creating disclosure frameworks (for tokens)
- halting regulation by enforcement

This is *literally* the industry's wish list for thoughtful reg.

New SEC leadership has hit the ground running, including by announcing a crypto task force. It's great to see -- there's a lot of work to be done to bring the SEC in line.

“What choices would you make in a world where the great and the good comprehensively underrate not merely the future path of AI but also realized capabilities of, say, one to two years ago.” remains a good intuition pump and source of strategies you can use.

I'm trying to get inside the head of anyone—Biden included, if he's aware of it—who thought that it would be a good idea for the president of the United States to tweet out that he was unilaterally declaring that the Constitution had been amended. It's so deliciously humiliating.

New randomized, controlled trial of students using GPT-4 as a tutor in Nigeria. 6 weeks of after-school AI tutoring = 2 years of typical learning gains, outperforming 80% of other educational interventions.

And it helped all students, especially girls who were initially behind

(1/10) The @federalreserve will be conducting its 5-yr policy framework review later this year. It should take a bold step and commit to rules-based monetary policy.
