@thepablohansen So glad someone is doing the open version of this. Good luck Pablo!

@cjpedregal @meetgranola -- layout of the Granola Settings on Mac Menu Bar is very unfriendly.

"Sign Out" is where "Quit" typically is for other apps, so muscle memory causes me to constantly sign out of Granola instead of quitting.

See Granola vs Chrome below.

I sent this note to our entire team at @Opendoor earlier today.

@profjamesevans @ufukakcigit would love to hear your thoughts on this...

[Diego Scanlon @NotDiegoScanlon]

My least original thinking, but here's what I think about as I watch them play leapfrog

[Diego Scanlon @NotDiegoScanlon]

@carlbfrey curious what you think about this too…your essay seemed very focus on jobs, but are we sure jobs will still exist?

There seems something different from this general purpose technology compared to others in the past.

Who is thinking about post-automation humans?

[Diego Scanlon @NotDiegoScanlon]

@carlbfrey having just read your NYT essay, curious to hear what you think about the importance of building taste in juniors — instead of overseas migration, maybe we see consolidation. And can the private sector solve unemployment? Or is it all government?

@d2ac__ @krayondev @browserbase Are the browser base founders former resellers??

Don’t necessarily think that voice is why humans have some edge now.

I do like your point about a good teacher and their demeanor being able to change a student’s attitude towards learning. But I don’t think in person instruction will go away.

I think I’m concerned about either:

1. idea creation being outsourced because coming up and thinking through an idea / assignment allows you to give better feedback to students, or

2. lack of familiarity with a student’s attitude / abilities which is expressed through their work which decreases the potential positive effect teachers can have on students when they’re together irl.

Curious to hear your thoughts.

An honest confession of what it’s like in VC as a junior investor.

Would love to hear / engage with feedback from investors and founders alike.
