@shub0414 Still use Cursor. I like seeing my code in the IDE and it’s good for the inline edits and other small things that you don’t want to burn through Claude for.
@scaling01 Anthropic’s recent post highlights this. I’m still AGI skeptical or at least soon but the truth is the difference between last year and this year is astronomical and we could continue to see that.
In an age of strong AI, you need to be thinking like an aristocrat.
Aristocrats don’t think about jobs. They don’t go to university to acquire “skills” but to network and gain polish. They respect risk-taking but disparage grindset. They tend to be histrionic, inconsistent, and difficult to manage. They respect risk-taking and deal-making.
This is a Lindy personality type that was selected against during the 20th century but will thrive under conditions of strong AI
China just dropped its 15th five year and I genuinely think this is the most important document of 2026 & almost nobody in the West is talking about it
what gets me isn’t any single number…it’s the systemic vision, in one document they’re planning GDP growth, highvalue patents, digital economy at 12.5% of GDP, non-fossil energy at 25%, CO2 reduction, surface water quality at 85%, life expectancy at 80, forest coverage rate, grain production capacity…ALL of it in the same table with hard targets & binding indicators through 2030
in the West we treat economy, ecology, education, healthcare & energy security as separate ministries fighting over budgets, China treats them as organs of the same body, every line feeds the others, urbanization fuels productivity, R&D fuels patents, patents fuel the the digital economy, non-fossil energy fuels strategic independence….every variable is designed to accelerate all the others & that reflect china’s deeply HOLISTIC worldview
look at line 5, high-value patent going from 16 to over 22 per 10,000 people by 2030, quietest line in the whole table and probably the most important, a high value patent is the intellectual property of a technology that will structure a market for 20y MINIMUM
China is literally planning who owns the technological future, the licenses & dependencies other countriees will rack up on Chinese tech, this IS the economic and industrial colonization of the 21st century I keep talking about in my threads but with patents instead of cannons
while america bombs & europe debates, China plans, builds & executes and the scariest part is that based on their own audits the previous plans hit ove 90% of their targets
Western leaders rotate every 4 /5 years and make promises they’ll never have to keep, CCP plays on a 50 y horizon…this table isn’t a campaign platform, it’s a national spec sheet & that changes everything about how you read each number in it
life becomes much more fun & easy once you rewire your brain to the fact that you can just do stuff. anything. it's in your hands. most things, within an arms reach. your routine is yours, your decisions are your own. you can be, do, become anything. you can choose any archetype, and embody him tomorrow. become him in a week. you can change today, and never look back. you can achieve every dream you have. all you have to do is everything.
