One of the most important things to know about this AI cycle is that no one knows what they're talking and even very smart and plugged in people are continually reversing their opinions and then re-reversing them three months later.

critically important point, and terrifying for what happens while society adjusts to it

[ib @Indian_Bronson]

I think this observation is true

Some implications:

- labor in exchange for capital becomes impossible
- youths made globally irrelevant except on physicality
- current capital distributions become mostly fixed
- succession planning vs life extension is the last game

Rapaz.... O novo modelo de passaporte da Síria pegou uma imagem da internet do mercado de Damasco, não tirou a marca d'água e o passaporte agora tá com o nome do fotógrafo HAHAHAAH

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

In her latest sciolistic letter to me, @SenWarren made it clear that she knows even less about foreign exchange markets than she does about banking.

What is equally shocking, but not surprising: not a single member of the media mob has a rudimentary-enough level of financial market literacy to spot her remedial error.

To reiterate: under @POTUS, the United States delivers for America’s trusted partners.

For a fuller explanation, I recommend Senator Warren take any entry level course in international finance for her and her staff, or I can personally give her a tutorial on Foreign Exchange for Dummies. Although I am not holding my breath, I hope her next letter will demonstrate that she has learned the difference between a currency purchase and a swap or a loan.

Someone gave a bunch of LLMs the PoliticalCompass questions, and it turns out they're almost all libertarian-leftist in orientation.

Incredible how bad taste everyone in tech has

From the t-shirts they perfomatively wear to the "luxury" watches, it's all just obscene vulgarity and tastelessness

Call it the backlash to the backlash—Unions and building trades say they will oppose candidates attacking data centers, putting Democrats and other long-term allies in a pickle.

data center pivot coming. thoughts and prayers to every journalist and influencer who tried to leverage aesthetic concerns and misinformation into some kind of widespread anti-AI movement while the average american happily chatted with their friendly pocket supergenius.

[signüll @signulll]

your daily reminder that ppl are almost biologically drawn to:

- belonging
- certainty
- status within a tribe
- a charismatic interpreter of reality
- rituals & shared language
- an enemy or out group
- a story that makes suffering meaningful
- the feeling that we know something they don’t

religions, political movements, startups, fandoms, fitness communities, crypto, even certain friend groups can all activate pieces of this same machinery. & some companies are doing it brilliantly well right now.

one of the strangest things about moving from sf to new york was realizing how little new york gives a fuck about whether what you’re doing is actually important

i lived in sf for four years. people were building an ai scheduling app in rooms surrounded by people dressed like they had just lost a fight with a laundry basket

new york is almost the opposite

you can spend an entire day moving icons around in powerpoint, but if you do it forty floors above manhattan, wear the right jacket, and have dinner somewhere impossible to book, nobody really cares what the powerpoint was about

the actual economic activity may be negligible, but phenomenologically you are inside the late roman empire

the west village is full of people whose primary productive activity is having extremely specific preferences about lamps

the city is not especially interested in the distinction between substance and spectacle

i've been to parties where almost nobody had built anything used by millions of people, but everyone behaved as though they had personally resolved the crisis of modernity

in sf, someone will casually mention they built the database underlying half the internet and then ask if you want to split an uber

in new york, someone runs a substack with 3,800 subscribers and enters the room like hegels spirit has finally become conscious of itself

this is not criticism. quite the opposite

new york understands something sf does not: no one gives a fuck

importance is not an intrinsic property. it is produced through ritual, architecture, clothing, proximity, lighting, reservations, and a sufficiently difficult door policy

sf still clings to the naive enlightenment belief that value should correspond to some underlying productive reality. very protestant. very embarrassing

new york on the other hand, does not gve a fuck

a 26-year-old wearing margiela tabi boots and saying "we're thinking about doing something in media" has already achieved symbolic capital equivalent to a series b

sf still wants to know whether something is important

new york doesn’t give a fuck

it just wants to know if it’s interesting

In the end, I think, the DSA will go down not because people remember Pol Pot or Stalin, or because people realize their economic ideas are bad, or because they support Islamism, but because people are fed up with progressive governance.

This is because @TIME is an AI Doomer propaganda outlet funded by people who literally want to ban AI research. They promote anyone who gets them closer to that goal.

@OneMileataTime good luck getting that done with the cabin crew in Polaris of unionized sky grannies who would break a hip in an evacuation and scowl at you when asking for even a refill of water, it’s a comically horrendous “luxury” service experience

Harry and Meghan are the perfect face of Britain in decline. Post-war monarchy worked because it sat slightly above the public: reserved, opaque, and therefore still capable of being aspirational. These two inverted that, kept the title, dropped the distance, and sold the remainder as authenticity. What you get is not a democratised crown but influencer aristocracy that's loud, self-referential, permanently injured, and certain that visibility is stature. Fran Lebowitz said Trump is what poor people think a rich person looks like. These two are what a less ambitious country now thinks class looks like: hawking jam, performing relatability, mistaking tacky proximity for presence. They do not look like Britain reaching but at best settling.

key point in life

[Jawwwn @jawwwn_]

“All the value you’re going to create in the world is going to come from your superpower.”

Palantir CTO @ssankar on how to discover what your biggest talent:

“There’s going to be a set of things you enjoy doing. You probably enjoy it because there’s some effort in figuring it out. You get a dopamine hit.”

“But the dopamine hit belies the fact it’s probably not your superpower. It actually required effort.”

“Your superpower is going to be more lizard brain— it’s just instinctively obvious to you.”

“You’ll discover it comparatively. You’ll look around at people more talented than you and be like, ‘Oh, they struggle at this.’”

“And having the humility to say, ‘There are some things I’m so bad at— I just shouldn’t touch. I need to find find partners.”

“The X-Men were highly imperfect humans in their own way. It worked, in aggregate.”
