@JakehellerAI That apartments dot com AI thing sucks. Those new appfolio and yardi Claude connectors sound like they could be insanely useful though

@RealPlantBrah These jobs were my bread and butter growing up. One of my fondest memories is pulling down a tree in this dudes yard truck being amazed that anyone would pay me $10/hr for this much fun.

People don’t do this anymore?

@JulieChangRE Anyone who knows me would call me an extrovert but I need like a week to recover from a 3 day conference.

@sahill_og Basically anything that requires the sensors and robot arms it doesn’t have access to

Friendlys is an underworld of despair and obesity.

Seems like it could be a sick ice cream bar with actual good food if the right person took over.

The thought that Massachusetts is one of the most poorly prepared States to compete in the upcoming hardware tech boom has been weighing on me.

Don’t want to spend the rest of my life building 100k sf toilet paper containers.

@credealjunkie Woke up at 4:30am for years. Recently stopped. Biggest problem is the 8:30 bedtime with 3 kids. Such a small chance of sleeping from 8:30 to 4:30 for like a full 10 years if you have 2-3 kids. They might sleep past 4:30 but they just fell asleep after puking at 2:30am.

@SimpleCRE I’ve done a lot of both and I agree with him actually. Nothing I hate more than evicting people from their homes even if they’re jerks. Business to business just hits different.

@JulianKlymochko There are simply zero, 4 bedroom rentals for under 4,500 within an hour of me. Looking at this nationally may be a bit misleading.

Modern history frames the American Founders' hypocrisy on slavery as the ultimate proof that their ideals were a lie. But Coleman Hughes argues the exact opposite. Writing "all men are created equal" while owning slaves wasn't America's fatal flaw.

To be a hypocrite, you first have to state a moral standard.

Most historical empires avoided this problem entirely. Hughes notes that Ottoman sultans could simply point to texts legalizing slavery. No clash of values meant no internal pressure to change.

America put itself in a moral corner. By putting equality on paper, the Founders gave abolitionists a weapon. They created a cognitive dissonance that eventually forced a resolution.

This defines the current debate over American history.

The 1619 Project looks at the founding hypocrisy and declares the system structurally condemned.

Martin Luther King Jr. looked at the exact same hypocrisy and saw a promissory note waiting to be cashed.

You cannot hold a society accountable to a standard that does not exist. The founding ideals did not excuse the system. They gave future generations the exact leverage needed to break it.

@TexasDoughnut_ I’m struggling to look past those lamps. Otherwise very pleasing.

At most companies you can literally just start reading everything on the drive, learning about the company. You will start to shock managers with your contextual understanding of the issues and be given magic promotions. There was a time early in my career I was promoted 3 times in under 2 years. To this day, I’m typically 10+ years younger than my peers and often younger than those who report to me.

@JoshuaLisec Man that’s odd. I’ve always been a fan of people full of rage.

@jchal Haha, 100%. They’re incentivized to help get the loan done.

@JakehellerAI I’m actually very bearish on companies spending time and resources building internal tools vs. using well developed tools to focus on their actual business.

@Techmeme 98% chance that ends poorly

@girdley Is this somehow different from the Microsoft Claude plugin connector?

@TopherNOW It seems to be the easy button answer for companies that haven’t thought through security issues. Also, it’s basically just part of M365 now so how many are auto-subbed vs. using it?

When I ask around, people who haven’t done anything interesting with AI say they have Co-pilot.
