Poasting into the void

[Zach Laughlin @ZachLaughlin]

I have a problem 😭

1. what

[Sheel Mohnot @pitdesi]

Midjourney is opening a health spa in downtown San Francisco with hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges and a new form of medical imaging that they have created, the full body ultrasound.

They can do a scan in 60 seconds. They want to deploy 50,000 of them over the next 6 years.

@TheSoftWashPro @DreamFirms @stevehunsaker1 I’m so confused by your account are you Fred

[Zach Laughlin @ZachLaughlin]

@dylthorn @christmaslightr Bahahah I love it
We’ll be there before Christmas! 🎄

[Zach Laughlin @ZachLaughlin]

@dylthorn @christmaslightr Bahaha amazing

I would love to know how you communicate this

[Zach Laughlin @ZachLaughlin]

@christmaslightr @dylthorn We gave a week window and route optimized every night. Would be interested to hear how @dylthorn does this though? Do you give a window or just we come when we come?

People complaining about AI taking jobs are the same ones at risk for missing the generational opportunity of learning AI and implementing it with literally anything anywhere

[Matt Stockton @mstockton]

I’m obviously biased — but this 1000%.

We have an extreme AI capability overhang - which in simple terms means that if things were to just totally pause re: AI improvement, it would take a long time for companies to implement what’s possible right now. Even with this truth, there is adoption friction.

Why is this the case? because you still need specific people to do the implementing. AI is amazing but it is also a tool - and we still need skilled people to use the tool the ‘right way’ - and we need people who are specifically skilled at understanding what that means

My experience working with teams trying to ‘adopt AI’ can be summarized as follows:

- everyone is busy with their actual job, which doesn’t include adopting AI / understanding how to do so
- no one is tasked with considering how AI changes the shape of their specific job or how their job relates to other jobs
- no one is specifically tasked with understanding ‘how to do ai’ across functions.

Which is why Aaron’s point is so on point. There is an entirely new discipline emerging, which is still emerging / nascent. The shape of it isn’t fully defined, but the need for it is obvious.

There is an AI implementation gap to fill. And there is an amazing opportunity for folks who are willing to experiment and put in the reps to fill it

Fun fact:

More annual deaths in Europe from lack of A/C than in the US from firearms

[David Galbraith @daveg]

The Swiss grid is almost completely carbon free, yet it is largely illegal to install air conditioning in a house in Geneva, without a doctor's note and heat pumps have the a/c mode disabled and fines issued if used. A mean spirited degrowth mindset that transcends class and hides behind an environmental narrative even when it has nothing to do with the environment, like here. This is emblematic of a pathological hatred of the future and progress, that is a threat to Europe.

Grew up in the Silicon Valley in the 90s. My parents had a friend with a porta-potty business

9-figure exit

[Chris Koerner @mhp_guy]

I'd like to meet whoever invented the concept of attaching a porta-potty to a dumpster and then renting them out.

If that man is not a billionaire then capitalism has failed us all.

What a big-brained brilliant move.

T/Cu

[Daniel Petkevich @petkevichdan]

The greatest startups create a cost curve that supports an entire industry.

Fairchild -> $/transistor

SpaceX -> $/kg in orbit

@UlyssesInc -> $/month of ocean work.

@Willob explains how a three million dollar ocean job costs hundreds of thousands on the Ulysses platform.

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

Ironically? That was the point dawg.

[Matt McDonagh @McDonaghMatthew]

I repeat: most of you had no idea what you were just witnessing over the last 45 days.

[Matt McDonagh @McDonaghMatthew]

@SharrellAnne2 It's almost like there's a coordinated effort to return America to a global superiority posture.

Energy leads to economy.

Military strength leads to national peace.

The "Rules Based Order" was RIPPING AMERICANS OFF.

Those rules are over.

[SharrellAnne @SharrellAnne2]

Looks like that canal down in Panama was pretty important after all…

Good thing we got it back from the Chinese before it turned into a choke point we didn’t control.

“So to summarize: Iran played its biggest card and the main result is that the United States became the world's emergency gas station and China's cheap energy subsidy evaporated.”
