Sometimes I get scared that I’m wasting too many great tweets on my pre-famous era. Let this be a PSA that if I ever get a massive following I will shamelessly self plagiarize.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says donating to charity is net negative
"The common view is that philanthropy is this noble cause, and Bill Gates is like 'I'm going to go rehabilitate my image and do philanthropy.'"
"A lot of charities and philanthropies are actually net negative for the world and they get captured. It's remarkably hard to find a foundation that has not gotten captured by ideology.”
“By trying to do something good, like criminal justice reform, it turns out they just increased crime. I have a donor advised fund and I put money toward things helping civilization advance, but I don't think at this moment I would ever create a foundation."
"If you look at the Ford Foundation, I think Henry Ford would be turning over in his grave if he knew what they were up to.”
“I have a DAF, a donor advised fund, and I just try to put money toward things that I think are helping civilization advance. But I don't think at this moment I would ever create a foundation."
It is true that the hugging face incident is an example of a malicious, emergent digital ecology of machine intelligence. But the more important point is that digital ecologies of machine intelligence can be grown! Yes, we accidentally made a weed. And yes, nasty actors will make invasive species. But we can also grow��not make, but grow—emergent ecologies of machine ecologies that are pro-social. Beautiful gardens and majestic forests, grown but not designed. The human past is the sculptor, but the human future is the gardener, the arborist.

Holy shit how much money are New Yorkers losing on Kalshi...
look at the bio. think about what bullshit a Kalshi spokesperson would do to make this chart.
It was also completely hilarious how this ended up being like a ten second unnamed cameo. Complete nonissue! Weeks of the sweatiest guys imaginable getting mad over what ended up being a Trivia Pursuit question you get wrong because you honestly forgot about it.
i hate marriages man, concept of it ... watching my most cracked friends give up their entire potential to rule the world for "settling down" ... bro you had one shot at generational wealth and you chose to marry a normal another human.
Leopold fella likely already secured generational bag and now will have his name etched in market history. How many 24 year olds have done what he has been able to do?? Bro won at this game … even if his LPs lost unfortunately.
