actually very good writing.

what humans excel at- and what machines won't be able to catch up to anytime soon - is the ability to form good abstractions under uncertainty and with missing pieces.

our brain is such an easy-to-train model; how does it do that? we are truly God's masterpieces.

[e.a @Simi__babs]

Brilliant,
Now I need a piece that totally contradicts this take so I can stress my brain

i'm obsessed with AI DIY projects.

my favorite one right now is this broccoli farmer in hokkaido, japan using Codex to run his 100-hectare farm

this guy never studied agriculture, never inherited land, started out as a civil servant.

but he wanted his farm to run better, and instead of paying an engineering firm he couldn't afford, he just built the tools himself.

here's what he's built on his own:

> remote control of his greenhouse vents from a chat app, wired up with an esp32 board, a motor driver, and cloudflare workers

> a bot that checks each greenhouse's temperature and opens the vents when it gets too hot

> satellite crop-health data laid over a map of his own fields

> an airtable base linking his plots, tasks, materials, and sensors

> wiring diagrams of his electrical panels, generated from a photo

stuff like this used to be locked behind machinery and engineers only the big agribusinesses could pay for.

but this legend just breezed past all of it with a laptop and Codex lol

For every lazy hater saying AI is useless and over-hyped there is a real person making their life tangibly better using AI… choose your team.

Be the broccoli farmer.

World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li: "The world is not made of words."

"Language models have given machines an extraordinary command of concepts, vocabulary, and reasoning, but the physical world, virtual or real, runs on a different substrate."

"Where language models learn the statistical structure of text, world models learn the statistical structure of space and time: how light falls on a surface, how a garden looks from an angle no camera has captured, how objects respond to force and follow the laws of physics."

"Language gave machines a way to talk about that world. World models are how machines will finally come to understand, imagine, reason and interact with it."

Founder of lululemon on what he'd tell every 25 year old:

"I'd tell them that every person in the world is an individual with a different genetic makeup and a different upbringing and the way that you're thinking is so radically different than every other person in the world and incomparable that if you have an idea and you want to move forward with it, don't worry so much about the competition because nobody will be able to replicate you and the way you think about it."

The thing nobody tells you about exponential change is that it feels like nothing is happening right up until the moment everything happens at once.

Google is raising $80 billion of equity a week before SpaceX is trying to raise $75 billion a few months before Anthropic and OpenAI are trying to raise $100 billion from investors and you’re laughing???

This is a cataclysmic exit liquidity avalanche

The idea that Arsenal became a cultural phenomenon because it signed Black players is too simplistic.

Like much of London, Arsenal positioned itself as a club that extended belonging towards the margins. Not racial margins alone, but the margins of football's imagination.

Kanu arrived after heart surgery that could have ended his career. Bergkamp arrived carrying the weight of a disappointing spell at Inter. Henry arrived as a talented but unsettled player still searching for his place. Kolo Touré was potential before proof. Arteta arrived as a midfielder many thought was entering decline, only to be entrusted with the captaincy. Wenger himself was a foreign manager challenging the assumptions of English football.

The pattern was not diversity for its own sake. It was recognition before validation.

Arsenal repeatedly seemed willing to see people not simply as they were, but as they could become. It trusted before consensus arrived. It built a reputation for offering a second chance, a fresh start, or a path to fulfilment where others saw limitation, uncertainty, or decline.

That is why former players, injured players, and out-of-contract players so often found their way back to Arsenal. The club developed a reputation for treating people as more than their immediate utility.

Representation matters. But recognition creates loyalty.

People did not just see players who looked like them. They saw an institution that appeared willing to enlarge its definition of who belonged.

Humans “steal” all the time, so what the problem now?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Artificial Intelligence is built on the creative work of millions of writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists and ordinary people. That work has been stolen by Big Tech oligarchs.

Now's the time to reclaim it and ensure AI works for ALL, not just the few.

Please guys use your real brains🙏🏾

[Ole Lehmann @itsolelehmann]

luckily bookmark rot is an easy problem to fix now

here's how to turn every X bookmark you've ever saved into a second brain your agent has full context on:

1. export your bookmarks. i use twitter-web-exporter (free userscript) or the BookmarkSave extension. you get one file with every bookmark + the full text + the author + the link

2. drop that file into a folder. if you already run an llm wiki / obsidian vault, drop it straight in so your bookmarks join the rest of your knowledge

3. point your agent at the folder (claude code, codex, hermes, whatever you run) and tell it: "read this export and turn every bookmark into its own markdown note with the original link and a couple of topic tags"

that's it, your agent has read all of it.

now you can ask "what have i saved about pricing" or "pull everything i bookmarked on claude code" and it answers across the whole pile

takes maybe 10 minutes

after that they actually get used, and every new bookmark folds into the same brain instead of rotting in a tab you never open again

@itsolelehmann It’s not meant for your second brain, it’s meant for your BRAIN!

Nigeria has fundamental issues young people need to stand up to.
We need to rise to a higher calling above our personal interests if we want our kids to experience a better Nigeria.

[e.a @Simi__babs]

@oyinkanbadejo @_debbii3e Check the first chapter of the book David and Goliath by Malcolm gladwell. There’s a very interesting research he talked about—near miss and remote miss. I thinks that’s what is happening in Nigeria
