The world is full of teachers but devoid of students.

I will miss #BoJackHorseman. So surreal & funny and yet so real & deep in representing human emotions, relations, flaws, and falls.

Going through it is almost a spiritual journey that feeds on the life journeys of the many great characters that populate his strange world.

If a man invests all of his money, all of his time, and all of his intellect into giving the world what it needs...

the world will have no choice but to give him what he wants.

“There’s a kind of “Golden Rule” that’s in place if you participate in tech:

“Treat others as if they might be the next great founder.”

Status illegibility is a virtue.”

· treat computers as nothing more than fancy conduits to bring people together

· never treat information as being real on its own; its only meaning is in its use by people

· never believe that software models can represent people

Brilliance itself, that is all.

Think for yourself, not of yourself.

Think of others, not for others.

This is why you can’t outsource coding for your startup.

- Fact checking based on flagging and popularity.
- No ID = no social media profile. People have to be responsible of what they say.
- Reputation: penalise offenders.
It can be done, maybe not by companies prioritising revenues over maintaining a civil and democratic society.

To anyone who wants to “ban lying” on social media

Please write down a function that takes in a statement and returns whether it is true

If you can start with the Riemann Hypothesis that would be amazing

The influencers bubble is starting to burst. Hard to maintain credibility when your thoughts are evidently for sale... https://t.co/FUE5BZzsDN

@balajis Isn’t depressing nihilism what the cultural industry is primarily pushing? I haven’t seen the movie yet but it sounds like a mirror of our times...
