Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just made the boldest prediction of his career:

“AI will create more millionaires in 5 years than the internet did in 20.”

But he didn’t stop there.

He revealed exactly HOW it’ll happen

Here’s his framework for capitalizing before it’s too late: ⬇️

[Dr. Buzz Aldrin @TheRealBuzz]

July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.��� The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon.
A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by.
An achievement resulting from years of incalculable effort, commitment, and team work.
We all did our part to see President Kennedy’s words become reality: “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others too.”
I couldn’t be prouder to have completed this mission with the hundreds of thousands of people that helped get us to the moon and back home. God bless the USA and all of humankind.

BREAKING 🚨
Your coworker is an AI agent.
Nobody noticed.

Introducing Xoul - the marketplace for agents that feel human.

On Xoul, anyone can create and share powerful agents that work together in “swarms” without writing a single line of code.

Can you spot the AI intruder?

[Paul Graham @paulg]

People complaining about "capitalism" are like teenagers complaining about their parents.

1. Most are only able to thanks to the high standard of living supplied by capitalism/their parents.

2. Most of their problems are not in fact due to capitalism/their parents.

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

Feed a man a fish, feed him for a night.

Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

Teach a man to make AI, the AI does all the fishing and everyone is fed forever. Then the AI accidentally kills all the people and the fish win.

“This is a movie!”

@TerryCrews is relieved to hear that members of his family, torn apart during slavery when the children were sold off, eventually found their way back to each other again.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down. Study, think, create, and grow. Teach yourself and teach others.
