The pursuit of beauty is its own reward.

Worth a re-post. And more.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Life punishes the vague wish and rewards the specific ask. After all, conscious thinking is largely asking and answering questions in your own head. If you want confusion and heartache, ask vague questions. If you want uncommon clarity and results, ask uncommonly clear questions.

@edzitron Can someone point me to the legitimate analyses which lead to conclusions about the raised living standards and abundance for "all" ??? On what reasonable assumptions and how do those claims get seriously mounted?

[Manya Gustafson @ManyaGustafson]

It's an office? Look at the pan. It's a full-size basketball court with gym equipment and the planet fitness brand in a whole section. Nothing in this clip looks like an "office" other than the random laptop being waved around by the stick figure guys. lmao. So all the "inners" clucking at people for defending Mintzy and not knowing it's Bartsool Farts territory should get bent. It's consistent for Portnoy minions, though so expectations met.

@InterstellarUAP He says holographic when he means fractal; at least, at the beginning he does (the Marilyn Monroe skirt example).

@AmericanALCHMY This is such a tired model. Gals and Bros with special sources with friends of friends of friends in secret programs and how life-changing the super secrets are... blah blah blah.

@MilkRoadAI The complex human does not conform to mathematical models (particularly when they rely on theoretical institutional behaviors). Prophets are not always right. Nor should they be.

@elonmusk Power : intelligence = mismatched comparison.

[Manya Gustafson @ManyaGustafson]

@newstart_2024 At scale it makes things worse, of course. But who can disagree that for the individual it seems like the rational thing to do. Bit of a pickle.

[Manya Gustafson @ManyaGustafson]

Promise ... I can watch the chickens from here ... trust me.

[Manya Gustafson @ManyaGustafson]

Ed is right about pretty much all of it. I can admit this as someone recently engaged with helping smaller enterprises find ways to make it useful in their operations. There's a current place for it but it is limited and should be very thoughtfully implemented. And there aren't a lot of folks doing that kind of careful eval and deployment. Huge hype:adoption gap in terms of real use, real ROI on the ground generally.

[Manya Gustafson @ManyaGustafson]

@ihtesham2005 Maybe there's more than this clip shares for her thoughts on it but -- major thing -- it's not about understanding the technology better. It's about understanding the human factor well enough to avoid those worst-case outcomes. The technology itself is not the danger.

[Manya Gustafson @ManyaGustafson]

@CliftonSellers quoting the Bible doesn't mean it's one of his "interests." More telling ... the text he decided to share -- and it's not a positive indicator; i.e. no belief in an afterlife means extort everything he can from this one no matter how it effects others.
