I like disruptive things and there are many disruptions coming.

Elon is just a really clever dude. This Vegas loop Boring Company thing is pure genius. Lemmie walk you through this:

Two of the three @boringcompany stations at the Convention Center Loop are above ground. To reach the underground Central Station guests must take an elevator/escalator below ground. #vegas #elonmusk #boringcompany

@TheStalwart I feel like this is way too dumb a question for you to ask publicly.

Everything post the economic reasoning (kids are liabilities not assets in a modern service economy) - once you cross the line into tech it’s about 1 thing and 1 thing only.

Dopamine replacement.

This is genuinely very interesting - its like higher end sketch comedy and new form of fan fiction...

not fully new but something that smells of disruption.

I am obsessed with this Japanese man using AI video to put himself into movies

(he's on IG at @ai_am_furufuru)

@NathanLands No audio podcast feed?

[DisRep @Disrep]

@Jason Were you in US or Japan when that happened?

[DisRep @Disrep]

@elonmusk To a certain extent this might be true - just as highways emptied industrial cities - but humans always agglomerate into cities due to our social primate nature.

Will it change the spacial relationship with urban areas - without a doubt.

[DisRep @Disrep]

@elonmusk If I’m not mistaken we should have some moon orbit flights by now?

[DisRep @Disrep]

@harryh @tnm Guy should talk to developers that had to ship applications that had to fit on 5.25 floppy disk.

It’s all sloppy crap to those devs.

Every bit mattered.

Just re-upping this post from almost 4 years ago.

…just sayin.

@CAFranchise @RALee85 From a certain analysis one could conclude China is more likely to invade Russia than the US/NATO during the Ukraine saga.

An open border/failing state next to a hungry giant can lead to unseen/unpredictable pathways.

“Stealing” implies taking something away.

Learning from existing work (whether by humans or models) has always been how creative fields function.

The real dispute isnt displacement vs theft its how we govern training, attribution, and compensation at scale.

The question is how we move forward - not how we stop this.

The printing press was massively destructive… just not in the ways its critics initially fixated on.

Its real effects were second order: religious wars, state consolidation, global extraction, and the machinery of empire.

Disruptive technologies dont concentrate their damage at the interface- their costs emerge in energy systems, resource extraction, and geopolitics.

Same pattern. New century.

[DisRep @Disrep]

It never feels optional to the people it displaces.

The printing press didnt ask scribes permission.

Electricity didnt wait for lamplighters.

Photography didn’t consult portrait painters.

Every disruptive technology is experienced as forced by the people whose work it subsumes.

That doesnt make it unique…it makes it typical.

[DisRep @Disrep]

@PossumDeMenthe @harryh @musharbash_b Pushed is an odd way to describe it.

Was the printing press pushed on the world? Or the steam engine or electric light?

[DisRep @Disrep]

This slaps, like a bat to the head. The US is in some serious trouble. https://t.co/LB36x7yCNT

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Chris Sacca's Grand Theory of AI: We are super fucked.

[DisRep @Disrep]

@pitdesi @Detour This is totally a scalable option with AI now.

Its a great product if you can pull it off.

[DisRep @Disrep]

@Noahpinion Everyone needs to do deep research on Gloucester, Mass and whatever happened there.

Feels like they just need to make being pregnant go viral with and having kids with your friends cool again young women.

[DisRep @Disrep]

100% gunna happen.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Someone told me that the young generation of men is going to be raised on AI porn, and is then going to be disgusted by real human women because they don't quite look like AI.

I really hope that doesn't happen

[DisRep @Disrep]

@jack So books and movies have no protection from say AI translation and distribution? Like how far are you taking this statement?

[DisRep @Disrep]

Kids use screens for entertainment.

A simplified aesthetic provides:
- fewer distractions & faster consumption
- simplified surfaces for cleaning & maintenance
- greater ADA compliance
- reduced complexity, dynamics, & liability.

Brand has shifted to meet market, the Chuckie Cheese race is over.

There are some exceptionally bad takes under this tweet. First among them that Apple has EVER been an innovation company in software. Apples innovation has always been on softening tech to make it accessible and attractive to consumers + building quality hardware.

Their services software always lagged in features and functionality.

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

Kinda weird how Apple can’t figure out how to make an LLM and all these other companies with way fewer resources managed to pull it off
