Just have kids and you won’t be lonely and won’t have to plan elaborate “friend” get togethers and very quickly you’ll realize doing a puzzle with your 3 year old or helping your 5 year old learn how to read or dancing to Disney songs with them is infinitely more fulfilling and fun then and better for loneliness then constantly having large get togethers with your friends like you’re still in college.

Okay, this is a fun one, I'll play.

@grok: Create an image of what the world would look like if I were in charge, based on my tweets. Go deep, not just the last 10 or whatever is the default. Analyze me.

Inviting others into my grok bot chat. I’m using slack as a workaround but it’s not as smooth as experience in the grok bot itself. My use case is with family where we share a slack channel with a bot that manages family calendar. Ideally they could use grok bot app but just join the chat I invite them to without having to pay for their own account. I.e it’s my bot that I share with them

Something I’ve been observing that is really counterintuitive is that as tech people are maybe the most humble going into this whole AI replacing / augmenting labor shift than normies. Every time I chat with a normie friend or fam member about AI and how good it is at job like law, accounting, teaching etc I get total dismissal on the grounds of it not being good enough to affect their job. And it’s with a certain amount of arrogance I think too. Maybe denial? But on the other hand tech people who I think are typically seen as maybe more arrogant are the ones saying yeah I get it this thing is way better at what I do (marketing, coding, designing, product management). I think tech folks have never really wanted regulation to hide under but other trades too so they feel they have air cover.

@FU_joehudson Help me understand this real example. I was walking down the street and judged a woman walking her dog in a stroller. What am I not seeing?

No house is big enough when there’s nothing outside.

At the peak of my corporate career, I owned a sprawling McMansion in a ritzy Dallas suburb, complete with chef’s kitchen, theater, and gym.

Beyond the walls was an endless concrete jungle.

It was suffocating.

Then, during the pandemic, I had a work project in Honolulu. I rented a tiny studio apartment with a lanai. It was a fifth the size of my Texas home.

When I wasn’t at work, on the beach, or climbing the cliffs of Mokulēʻia, I could be found on that lanai—reading, writing, and gazing at the Pacific. The sliding door stayed open 24/7.

That little apartment felt expansive.

“But Kevin, why can’t I have both—a big, fancy house AND a spectacular location?”

In theory, you can. But in practice, it doesn’t seem to work that way. The people with the biggest houses seem to spend the least time outside.

🪎 Our time tends to follow our treasure.

Less (done right) really is more. And no home is as big as the outdoors.

One of the most satisfying parts of the phase we’re now in at @TheOceanCleanup is that we’re actually starting to change the lives of the people who depend on the ocean being clean.

[Alan Seideman @alans]

@Austen Nice outdoor plazas to hang out and chill with others that are clean and safe
