This is the "holy shit" moment of AI 🤯

OpenAI just launched Sora, an AI that can create hyperrealistic videos from just text prompts.

It'll be nearly impossible to tell the difference between AI and real in 2024.

I wrote about the collapse of face-to-face socializing in in the 21st century.

From 2003-2022, American adults reduced socializing by 30%. For teens, the decline was nearly 50%. There is no record of any period in history when ppl spent more time alone.

In dating, most people focus on expressing themselves. But the most attractive partners express a desire to get to know you.

It's good to be interesting. It's better to be interested.

We gravitate toward people who want to understand us. Feeling seen is core to feeling loved.
