Ethan Hawke explains why you can't see how good your own era is until it's already gone
"My kids and stuff, some of my kids are older, so 27 23 and they're like"
"Oh back in the 90s, my son showed me the other day like 5 movies that came out some weekend in 1994 something and they're all amazing"
"He said what a time I wish i lived in that time and I was like wow I remember being nonplussed that weekend
and I remember wishing it was 1974"
"So we're in this ongoing thing which make it really easy to be critical and negative about what's happening"
"Cause usually time is the great curator, time will reveal what's good about what's happening right today cause it's harder for us to see it"

Of everything happening in your brain right now, only a tiny fraction is consciously accessible—thoughts you can describe, hold in mind, and reason with.
We found a strikingly similar divide inside Claude.
Ironically Seth Rogan is the perfect example of why wealthy people don't do this.
He's an immigrant from Canada who refused to have children because it would interfere with his hedonistic lifestyle. His biggest fear is dying without spending all of his fortune on beach houses and "fun stuff" (like making the ugliest pottery you've ever seen).
Many of the wealthy men of the past had connections to their communities and families who would inherit their legacy. Rogen can't bear the thought of sacrificing even a fleeting moment of pleasure for the sake of his own progeny, let alone a city he has no roots in.
He's entirely severed from the continuity of time; no past or future, just an eternal stoned present.
I've been 40 for less than a month and idk what the hell is happening to me. The other day I spent forty-five mins at Best Buy talking with a Dyson rep about their air purifiers/vacuums. Had the time of my life - my wife had to finally drag me away.
Last night I sent a stern email to our city's mayor about some ongoing power outages happening in our neighborhood.
And this morning I caught myself sending my wife a post in the neighborhood FB Group where someone was recommending a a good furniture steam cleaning service.
Father time remains undefeated man...

Open-source AI for the win!
I think China is taking an asymmetric approach.
In a reversal of last century, the West is going closed: closed source, closed markets, closed borders. For understandable reasons.
But China is going open because it suits them. For similar reasons to why Meta open sourced Llama.
The US economy is so insanely financialized that it has more private equity funds (19,000) than McDonald's (14,000).
This is because the US economy is not based on innovation, and certainly not manufacturing; it's based on parasitic financial rent-seeking

a distasteful to discuss aspect of AI is: when you have sex, especially when younger, your body and mind bond in a special way with your partner, that place, even items present. via porn, many people already have a subconscious romantic and sexual coloring to phones and computers
