Trees don’t panic in the winter thinking, "Oh no, I’m not growing leaves, I’m a failure." They just rest and wait for spring. You are allowed to have a low-yield season without calling it a personal crisis.
Sergey Brin is the third richest person alive, worth roughly $240 billion, and he just took direct command of Gemini.
He retired in 2019. He owns around 6% of a $3.9 trillion company. He could spend the next 40 years on a yacht without ever checking a price tag.
Instead he's been at the office three to four days a week, in the weeds, writing code. Demis Hassabis confirmed it himself this year, "Sergey has been in the weeds, programming."
The last time Brin was this hands-on, Google was running out of a garage in Menlo Park.
And he fits a pattern. Zuck went founder mode on AI and reorganized all of Meta around superintelligence. Elon started xAI from scratch and built it into a frontier lab in two years. Now Brin, at 52, is personally running the model that decides whether Google wins the next 20 years.
That tells you everything about the size of the prize. Smartphones, cloud, crypto, none of it pulled a retired founder back onto a product team. AI did it in under two years.
A $240 billion man just gave himself a job. The AI war is fully on.
@jrdi En realidad, la gente de Recursos Humanos no suele invertir mucho tiempo en explicar por qué un perfil no les gustó. Toma con pinzas todo lo que digan, ellos no pueden empatizar con todos los perfiles que ven en un día.
El economista quiere anclar expectativas. Cada vez que sale a hablar, define el camino. Genera profecías autocumplidas. Es así como allana su propio camino y alínea el futuro de sus negocios.
Ultra successful people typically cancelled all backup career options when they were younger.
These people will quit a high-paying job, drop out, sell their apartment or sacrifice life's comforts in the pursuit of success. Society will judge you for making a reckless decision, but in our experience, the ones who kept the backup option to become a consultant or join a big company almost always took it, usually 2yrs in when the work got boring.
People with a backup option live as two people: the version doing the work and the version that exists if you quit. This split personality means you only put 50% of your maximum mental effort into the risky option.
To be world-class at anything, you have to set fire to the boat and bridge behind you.
Entended que si Kimi K3 tiene 3T de parámetros, los frontera cerrados tienen muchos más.
Correr esos modelos es carísimo y ni de coña ninguna compañía que no sean ellos podría permitírselo
Fijaos en qué tiers bajan: Luna -80%, Terra -20%. El flagship no lo bajan,sino que le ponen un modo Fast al doble de precio.
Defienden la gama baja, que es justo donde compiten los modelos abiertos y exprimen la alta donde aún no hay rival.
Aún así, los tokens siguen subvencionados 🤷♂️
Una respuesta en el hilo menciona que elevar la dosis de tiroides rápidamente restauró la capacidad de reír a carcajadas, reforzando la conexión entre metabolismo energético y ligereza emocional.
People whose brains do not oxidize glucose well tend to be overly serious. I noticed this about myself as I begin to eat more fruit as well as when I took thiamine for the first time. I regained my ability to engage in wordplay, my ability to be amused by things that once annoyed me, my ability to understand sarcasm, and my ability to move quickly past difficulties. A brain with excess energy notices opportunities to perceive abundance that other brains miss!
Many “personality” issues are metabolic issues in disguise!!

A SpaceX intern once described eating lunch next to Elon Musk in the company cafeteria.
The intern said Elon sat down at a regular table with a regular tray of food. No entourage. No reserved section. He sat next to two junior engineers who were clearly terrified. One of them was explaining a problem with a valve component to the other.
Elon listened without introducing himself or interrupting. After about three minutes he turned to the engineer and said "have you tried running it at a lower pressure gradient first." The engineer stared at him. Then realized the CEO of the company had just casually solved a problem his team had been stuck on for a week.
The intern said what happened next was the part that surprised him. Elon didn't leave. Didn't check his phone. He spent the next twenty minutes asking the engineers questions about their work. Not CEO questions about timelines and budgets. Engineering questions about fluid dynamics and material stress tolerances. He was genuinely curious. The cafeteria conversation was indistinguishable from a technical review.
The intern said he understood in that moment why people work 80-hour weeks for this man. Not because he's inspiring. Not because he pays well. Because he's the only CEO in the world who sits in the cafeteria and solves your engineering problem between bites of a burrito.
People follow leaders who are above them. People worship leaders who sit next to them and prove they understand the work better than the people doing it.
