sharing what i’m learning.

I’m starting to get more insight density per unit of time from AI than from social media.

It no longer makes sense for me to scroll through AI slop when my own AI OS gives me sharper insights.

Underrated Opportunity: AI makes it way easier for small teams to build products for non-english markets

@recap_david most people assume: automation → fewer jobs

historical pattern: automation → lower costs → increases demand → more total work

[Kyle @kylexjackson]

agreed:
1. most knowledge work is administrative overhead

2. ai is good at eliminating that overhead

3. many companies are incorrectly interpreting that as “we need fewer people.”

4. the correct interpretation is “our people are now freed to do higher value work, let's redeploy them”

Deterministic Reasoning: If I work hard, I will succeed.

Probabilistic Reasoning: Hard work increases the likelihood of success.

[Kyle @kylexjackson]

I think some of the frustration that people experience with reality is actually deterministic expectations colliding with probabilistic environments.

Deterministic Frame: I did everything right. This shouldn’t happen.

Probabilistic Frame: A smart decision can still go wrong.

Bad sales sounds like selling.
Bad marketing looks like marketing.
Bad copy looks like bad copy.
Good marketing, sales, and copy only do one thing: it gets you to buy.

When you hear people say that they hate marketing and sales, what they really mean is they hate bad marketing and sales because every other time that you buy it still happened.
It was just good.

People with too much free time live in their mind, imagine a lot of negative things about how you might be secretly viewing them, then come up with unnecessary drama; people with clear goals are great to hang out with precisely because they are barely thinking about you at all.

Only negative rights are rights

Any positive right for one person is a violation of rights for another

Here is Peter Thiel’s email to Zuck and Andreessen in Jan-2020 predicting socialism.

Tl;dr too much student debt and lack of affordable housing keeps young people with negative capital for too long. And without a stake in the capitalist system, they will turn against it.

news is basically engineered anxiety. it’s abstract, external, & almost always negative. nothing about it affirms your agency or intimacy. but people cling to it because it’s a cheap way to feel informed, like they’re plugged into the world.

tldr: reading most news is horrible for you.

If you’d like to get rich or stay rich, I’d encourage you to develop the ability to change your mind.

Most ideas are shitty. So staying fixated on shitty ideas creates an anchoring bias that will weigh you down to the mediocrity of the masses. Learn to change your mind and skate to where the puck is going to be.

Others who can’t change their minds will constantly remind you of a former opinion. Ignore them. They want you to be down there with them so they can feel better about themselves. Don’t fall for it!

i have ~nearly zero respect for unearned authority.

only for ppl who have built/done cool & ridiculous things.

@thepatwalls I used to find SMS marketing annoying, but I’ve gotten used to it. And when it’s executed thoughtfully it can be really effective

[Kyle @kylexjackson]

@levie this is the nuance that is constantly overlooked in the AI doomer discussions

[Kyle @kylexjackson]

@kimmonismus bullish on ai, but jobs = identity for most people

so when innovation wipes out jobs, it also wipes out identities

if we don’t build off-ramps for people, we’ll create a resentment class

they don’t care about the macro, they operate in the micro

@Nicolascole77 The more articulate you are, the better the prompt. And the better the prompt, the better the output.

Don’t argue with idiots on the Internet.

How do you know you’re arguing with an idiot?

Because they’re arguing with idiots on the Internet.
