@cormachayden_ Amazing. Where is it?

I think this was a good approximation of what the long-term equilibrium of the firm looks like.

The fixed pie fallacy is probably the single most destructive delusion on the planet. The belief that wealth cannot be created—only distributed—has done more than any other to stop people from lifting themselves and others out of poverty.

The AI price war has begun.

Startups and tech giants alike are mixing and matching AI models to avoid the premium prices charged by industry leaders. https://t.co/AmkTTf0KFQ

A plausible and frightening vision of Europe's near future, ending in economic collapse and vassal status under the US or China. Enjoyed reading it, although I feel a little depressed now.

@Altimor wild how ai’s going from tool to teammate, huh

[Flo Crivello @Altimor]

Now, we're still the same bunch of nerds, but building "something else" — it's not even clear what to call it.
What's for sure is it's not "just a tool," and it comes with very different responsibilities: tech's having to build a new muscle.

Sad milestone tonight: a user was acting suicidal with his Lindy, who proactively decided to escalate to support (we alerted health authorities in his locality).
Feels weird. SF used to build "software" — just tools, to help you do stuff.

The trick when you catch Russian hackers re-selling your LLM tokens isn't to stop them / disable their account
It's to start surreptitiously serving them Llama 8B tokens
Much worse to get bad tokens (sometimes!) than no tokens at all

I'll add to the Piketty dunking in one small way.

His plan is to plunder valuable assets from the USA and hand them to less productive regions until outcomes are equalized.

But, for the USA, he allots 0.115% annual growth (4590->5000/74 years).

I'm sure he's aware that those assets are valued, generally, by the net present value of future free cash flows. And that by capping growth so low destroys the value he hopes to steal. And that baking this error into his model invalidates all the math that follows.

It's difficult to steelman Piketty's arguments. By all indications, he's simply an anti-human zealot, neurotically and wrongly guilt-driven, with extinction as his goal.

San Francisco is already horrendously over-budgeted: $16B for ~850k people is more than any major county in world.

If you care about efficiency and good governance you should categorically vote No on any tax or bond.

We're crossing the "stop making fun of Europe, it's sad" threshold right now
There's nothing I like more than bashing the europoor, but even I am starting to feel bad for them
Nevertheless, I persist

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Equal work deserves equal pay.

Three years ago, the EU adopted the Pay Transparency Directive.

Now, EU countries are bringing these new rules into national law:
✔️ Pay transparency for jobseekers
✔️ Right to information for employees
✔️ Gender pay gap reporting
✔️ Joint pay assessments

Because equal pay starts with pay transparency.
