Today: my first $100 as a fearless, satirical author.
It tastes far sweeter than the thousands I make as a tamed consultant.

@karpathy Great take. To build on that, one of the most important outcomes of learning is the meta learning: understanding how our minds tackle problems. We rarely need today to solve 17*34 without a calculator; but learning to do it teaches us much more than getting the right answer.
Every world-changing tech offers a beautiful destination.
Most forget the turbulent passage. With AGI the prize is huge,

We need to talk as much about the journey as the arrival—realistically, beyond bloom or gloom.
@buitengebieden I keep reminding myself that the most powerful kindness is shown to the vulnerable, the unwanted, and the "uncool." That’s where it truly shines.
@vitrupo Comparing LLMs, which we understand as transformers, to consciousness feels like a leap. We’re still grappling with what awareness really is—a question philosophy keeps alive until science can explain it. Doesn’t equating them risk oversimplifying something we don’t yet grasp?

@durov I started my engineering career when the internet was born—what a journey. Now, that generation’s quietly losing jobs to tech and corporate changes. It’s a hidden cost of "progress" no one talks about. Anyone else seeing this?
@JamesLucasIT An Air France first-class transatlantic ticket in 1988 would be the equivalent of approximately $15,000 today as AI tells me. Today's price is roughly half. It's a bit of both: cost-cutting, and waste reduction. Corporates have an amazing talent finding an opportunity in anything
