I've recently become AGI/ASI-pilled and have become obsessed with trying to figure out where I think the world is headed in the next <5 years. (I hope I'm wrong.)

Two random thoughts:
-the masses are expecting AI proliferation to happen linearly instead of exponentially
-current and projected AI infra spending only makes sense if AGI will happen soon(ish)

Two guesses on the convergence of AI and Crypto:
- ASI will define the destiny of crypto (rather than vice versa)
- Digital scarcity in the age of ASI is an absolute no brainer

@dwr recently been working on using obsidian as a PKM...
seems it'd be easy to replace instapaper with obsidian clippings (with the amazing benefit of being able to BYOLLM and no lock in of your data)
it's not a out-of-the-box solution rn but seems like a huge unlock

Resurfacing this @zxocw thread

When the pendulum swings too far towards memecoins, rugs, greed, crime, etc., the best way to stay positive is to surround yourself with devs &amp; founders building enduring products aimed at revolutionizing global markets.

More optimistic than ever.

I remember when @zxocw basically predicted something like this would happen in 2018 when he began a futurist story that started with the sentence, “the world’s richest entity will be a broken Tesla with a well-used GPU”

Six years ago this is what my laptop looked like

There are three decacorns and three unicorns and two others plugging along… and the rest are acquired or shut down

BAY AREA MUST 'SHELTER IN PLACE'

Six Bay Area counties announced a “shelter in place” order for all residents, directing everyone to stay in their homes for the next 3 weeks as officials desperately try to curb the spread of #coronavirus.

Life will crush you (mentally, physically, emotionally, etc.) if you don't go through it with the glass half full
