Before AI, I had 5 unfinished projects.
After AI, I have 128 unfinished projects.

As with fat tails Llms are frequency machines that fail to extrapolate outside the sample set. What they know is the VISIBLE.

Almost as bad as economists, almost worse than psychologists.

When did a detour become so gripping that you abandoned the original itinerary?

Note to self

More than 99 percent of books out there are not worth reading.

It doesn't mean I should stop buying books. It means, I shouldn't hesitate from tossing away a book. The real price of a book is the time it took away from my life, not the money I paid for it.

Pushing through a bad book is Gresham's law all over again — throwing good money (my time) after bad money (price tag)

A company whose name is literally "AI Slop" spelled backwards raised $30M by itself.

We literally live in the silliest timeline.

The best advice I always give to newly exited founders:

Open a Vanguard account.

Not Fidelity. Not Schwab.

Vanguard.

'Smart advice,' You might think. 'They do have the lowest fees..'

Wrong.

Their interface is so awful, you will never trade..

Has made my clients millions.

OK, so naked running.

Apparently this means running without GPS, music and any other tech.

I wish I knew this an hour ago.

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

The quantity of code that devs ship has roughly 10xed. But net developer productivity (value created by unit of time) is only up by a bit, if at all. Part of it is that the additional code is solving more incremental problems. A bigger part is that the new code is creating problems of its own.

Geography is 4D.

When someone speaks of a place, you have to ask, “When?”

You can’t know a place - only a place as it was at a time. Where is bound to when. Unless you are in a place right now, you can only speak of it in past-tense.

Anthropic is buying millions of rare books, scanning and destroying them because legally destruction is the safest option. This was a plot element in the Vernor Vinge novel, "The Rainbow's End", which I read 20 years ago.
