The smarter you are the more courageous you have to be

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

Intelligence is actually a liability if you don’t have enough courage to balance it out. You will have ideas about what to do, but you will watch other people do it. You will have smart things to say, but you won’t say them, and you will accumulate anxiety. You will have a good idea of the life you want, but you will never build it. The smarter you are, the more courage you need if you want to live a happy life.

Two franchises that need to open in the UAE:
-honest greens
-UNIQLO

Saw this as I landed in Dubai this month. Super smart on UAE side to protect the oil rigs from drones with such simple technology (metal rods). Brilliant

Don’t prioritize sizzle over steak

Seeing AI grammar slop “It’s not X. It’s Y” much more frequently nowadays. It has ruined reading/scrolling for me because I’ll automatically assume little to no effort went into creating the piece

i hooked my whoop to my work calendar to find which coworker gives me the most stress 🚨

thanks to fable, I reverse engineered whoop to pull per minute heart rate. nd matched spikes with cal events and attendees

I now have a leaderboard and I think about it daily.

few info masked for obvious reasons ;)

@HamzaOdehh Ima see you driving one in like 10 years just wait🤣

[Abed @abed__amad]

Call teslas gay all you want but apart from the obvious feature of autopilot, these little things make switching to any other car much harder
-one pedal driving/regen braking
-walk away phone key
-sentry mode
-climate control/precooling
-theater mode to watch netflix
-summon mode

you can outsource your thinking
but you cannot outsource your understanding

[Abed @abed__amad]

AI advanced in the last 2 months more than the last 2 years combined. The tools I used to argue back and forth with now one-shot prompt full apps, presentations, and workflows.

People say AI will replace jobs, but I disagree. Humans with AI will replace humans who don’t use it.

Learning is more about repeated recall than repeated exposure

[Abed @abed__amad]

Three things that will completely transform the economy/future
-Mass adoption of self driving cars
-Robotics (at home and factories, can easily 10X GDP)
-Free access to the internet/information anywhere

Kind of funny (no coincidence I presume) that Elon has hands in all three

[Abed @abed__amad]

Manus and Claude too OP for creating slides now. Magnitudes of improvement since two months ago. Best thing is you can give it your logo and color palette and it will follow the brand guidelines.

[Abed @abed__amad]

Just finished this, very good. Will definitely reread again. Gave me perspective/bigger picture even of where economy is heading.

Being clear is more important than sounding clever

Theory: GCC is cloud seeding heavily now to increase water security because desalination plants are critical targets
