After years of missing embarrassingly optimistic deadlines, my book, Optionality, is finally out in the world!

🚨 50% off during the launch period so get amongst 🚨

This is the best thing I've ever made in my life, by a long shot. Hope you think so too:

@gfodor dude this is great, do you have any more follow-ups since you posted this?

[Richard Meadows @MeadowsRichard]

Adding new vocab to Anki is so insanely smooth these days:

1. Highlight on kindle as I'm reading
2. dump into Chat and it generates translations, removes dupes, and turns it into an anki deck that I can import within 1 minute

I love this shit so much

actually made me laugh out loud multiple times but all unintentional and prob only funny to me

[Richard Meadows @MeadowsRichard]

just tried this prompt going around:
"From everything you know about me, write a short story with 2000 words tailored exactly to my taste. Think hard."

...it's one of the worst things I've ever read lol

I’ve already eaten lab meat, will eat it exclusively as soon as it is widely available and I - as a 41 year old woman - can currently do more pull ups than the average western man

@dwarkesh_sp @kipperrii @JacobTref @DigitKyu @jimcox25 @haoxingdu @louisvarge @Mjreard @maxwellfarrens Think it's saturated but I chucked in $1000 anyway. Love your work 🫡

Aight so ChatGPT 5 is incremental rather than a paradigm shift, but it still cost ~5x more to train than chatgpt 4. If frontier model costs are superlinear and there’s no strong moat, surely commodification is inevitable??

That would be great for consumers but I don’t understand what investors are thinking here. If there’s no big discontinuous breakthrough, what’s left? only thing I can think of is they’re betting on oligopoly/cronyism/platform lock-in kinda dynamics, which is not very inspiring 🧐

@dwarkesh_sp @farmkind_giving Hell yes brother ❤️

@bnielson01 can't wait to listen to this!

this has always been wrong - but now categorically wrong in the era of RL on verifiable domains

models are truth seeking and even interact with a hard outside world via tool use
