Quick annual Twitter/X check in this evening, the discourse is trending poorly.
On a positive note, at least the billionaires are fighting with one another, and Lex is interviewing all sides of a conflict.
Thank you Lex.
A generation of humanity created the corpus (web) that led to the fantastic AI models of today and the only correct (and moral) answer is that AGI is a public good. Open source models are curiosities to some, relegated to sub-frontier by others, but they are more important than almost anything else happening in tech today. Open source AGI is going to be central to human endeavor and prosperity. Keep building!
Happy 32nd birthday to id Software. I am so grateful to have been there on Day 1. To all current id devs, thanks for keeping the games alive and extending their worlds beyond our horizons.
Started ingesting Twitter after a decade hiatus. Observations:
My feed is a digital version of SF tech culture.
Negativity is rampant.
Self promoters, self promote.
@auren You interviewed me for a job a decade ago and spent the interview typing notes, I found it highly disagreeable. Five years later, I hired fifty people in three months for Postmates and learned why you were taking notes. Interesting indeed.
