@pookie_770 @grok Was playing chess with my son many years back, i guess he was about 8 years old. He suddenly just realised, all the markers on top of the pieces represent how each of them are allowed to move. That cut is diagonal because that bishop moves diagonal. Look at top of each piece. :)

We're in Stockholm. You know how there are some places where you think "Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there"? Stockholm is the kind of place that makes you want to live there.

@PavelASamsonov I came up with the title UX Engineer at Google and the naming was a bit contentious. At that time all User Experience roles (Design, Research, Writing) had UX in the title and since the role would often report to a UX organization, it made sense to include that descriptor.

I don't think most of us dedicate enough time to thinking. It's hard to think when you're in meetings all day.

society underestimates how much it owes elon for raising the collective ambition level at a time when optimism for the future was receding

What did I miss? What else is proof of increasing abundance?

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

The Google Brain (AI) has decreased the computer microchip manufacturing process from 4+ months to a few hours.

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

We tend to forget the magnitude of our progress in the last decade. Despite everything bad that happens in the world, we can't deny the great abundance in which we live.

To put it in perspective, here are a few of the top breakthroughs of 1922 vs. 2022...

@cyrusrezvanian @christine_rez Almost no one understands

@amasad Yes, thank you

i think what some predictors have wrong about generative AI is the expectation that it will create content in its current one-to-many form - one movie, one piece of music, a book, consumed by many...

Here's my conversation with Andrej Karpathy (@karpathy), a legendary AI researcher, engineer, and educator, and former director of AI at Tesla. This chat was super fun, technical, and inspiring. https://t.co/1CA6jtfvNg

That 🥖, made with ❤️, feel healthy to consume, I know it, even if I’m mindful about 🌾 for my overall health.

How do we make that handcrafted bread a part of our future? Without loosing heart. How does it look like when AI and robotics is omnipresent, and enabling this life? 🙏

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

@elonmusk This is how delicious bread is made in France, 1976

Been thinking about this meme all week

Are you the kind of person who just rolls up your sleeves and plugs the hole?

Our world needs a whole lot more of that

I suspect one of the rarest skills is to have any sense whatsoever of how different things were in the past. I believe it's as rare as being able to solve hairy integrals, but we don't realize that because there are so few explicit tests of it.
