Nailed it. 💯

You wonder where we went wrong? It started with everybody is a winner. Everybody gets a trophy. Every student succeeds. Nobody left behind. Zero accountability. Enabling. Lack of resilience.

Anything else?

[Financial Times @FT]

What is the ultimate luxury status symbol? Once upon a time it may have been a sports car or a flashy watch.

But with soaring costs of living, perhaps the most serious flex of wealth is something once considered a natural part of life: having kids https://t.co/9dmFphM0N0

Yup 😀

This behaviour is incomprehensible, and unfortunately it has been happening to an extent much deeper than we realise.
It is sexism at its worst, and I feel ashamed that our generation has propagated this.

What’s the problem with it you ask? Everything we purported fight against, is at the same time everything we (some) support, just in a form that suits them!

It not hurts men (particularly white men, but also calls into question every female in a position of management or other authority as to their qualifications. This hurts everyone, so why do we do it?!

I experienced all of this firsthand, having entered graduate school in 2013. By 2020, I watched non-white colleagues with CVs a tiny fraction as strong as mine absolutely swamped with interview requests and job offers, while I couldn't even secure a preliminary phone interview.

I saw a non-white, female biologists with zero peer-reviewed publications receive a tenure-track job offer from an Ivy League university within minutes of defending her PhD thesis. This would have been utterly incomprehensible in years prior, as such positions are typically only given to well-established academics with a long and very high impact publication record.

To call this demoralizing would be a dramatic understatement.

Combine my sex and race with the fact that I refused to write the woke DEI statements that most universities had begun requiring, due to my strong moral opposition to DEI ideology, and landing a tenure-track position at a respectable university began to feel like a pipe dream.

I also watched many exceptionally smart and talented white male undergraduates abandon their aspirations of becoming academic scientists. They understood what was happening and chose career paths where success would still be tied to competence rather than sex and race.

What most don’t realize about entrepreneurship:

• You will lose money
• You will look stupid
• You will feel dumb
• You will want to quit

But as long as your pain tolerance is high enough, you will make it to the other side.

True

@cb_doge Looking to the future, if everyone owns a robot that has some sort of centralised learning such as manufacturing, Plumbing, Accounting etc etc, this could be our means of personal income? Eg Our robot goes to work for us and earns us money while we relax and live our lives?

[Nick Tripp @nick1443]

With technologies like this readily available at all times, and always in your pocket, it makes one think. With the current educational model teaching legacy topics such as Math, do we need to alter our education to focus more on building future technologies, businesses and lifestyles.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yes

[Nick Tripp @nick1443]

@Codie_Sanchez Well said Codie!

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

That was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen. He got bitch slapped for

a) having a poor hand
b) for pushing the world to the brink of WW3
c) for not saying thank you for billions in aid
d) for campaigning against the President and helping his opponent in the election

And in front of the media for every American to see in real time.

@ausstockchick Problem solved…mostly.

[Dan Shipper 📧 @danshipper]

OpenAI just launched an autonomous research assistant, Deep Research.

We've been testing it for a few days @Every and it's like a bazooka for the curious mind:

- Give it a question, and it will autonomously search the web (or provided sources) to compile an answer
- It does this over many turns—taking between 1 and 30 minutes to return a response
- It returns MASSIVE well-researched reports, synthesized from many different sources, sometimes running 10k+ words

Think about it like a double decker tour bus but you’re the only passenger and the city you’re touring is the sum total of human knowledge

A few things we had it do:

- Write a comprehensive history of Every from 2020 to today 
- Read chapter 1 of War and Peace, analyze Tolstoy's character descriptions, and tell us what that says about his view of human nature
- Trawl through recent 10ks to find unreported financial irregularities
- Research and compile a completely new wardrobe from a few photos

Of course, there are limitations:

- Sometimes it doesn't fully cite where a piece of information came from
- There's no "stop" button yet, so if it's going off the rails you have to start over

But it's very clearly a peak into the future of human-AI collaboration for knowledge work. Exciting times!
