something i'm noticing lately: gen Z is lowkey the first time they actually have had face face to see someone where now literally nobody's anymore like we used somehow to be

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI!

The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday.

This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show.

Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward.

Another devastating day to have been a Valar hater.

Respect and Godspeed, fellas.

we automated all jobs- outside of manual labor, violence, and companionship- fifty or so years ago.

we have become prisoners to our desks because is the only indicator that our time has real $ value. all fears of ai job loss come down to confronting that it has already occurred

The widening Overton window shouldn’t be mistaken for Christian revival.

This from @ryanburge is important. A reason a lot of people think that “the rest of the country” is getting more religious, is because very religious people are self selecting into communities with other very religious people. It gives a false sense of widespread religiosity.

Wow, what a stressful week of work. Time to relax by holding a phone beaming endless streams of horrific international news inches from my head

When I shit on AI hype it's not cause I don't want it

I would be a huge beneficiary to AI advancements

But I'm on the ground trying to get this shit to work the way you guys talk about it, and it just doesn't

It just doesn't work the way the twitter threads say

@JoelWBerry Torching your Christian witness dropping d-bombs? Do better.

[Norm Macdonald @normmacdonald]

At times, the joy that life attacks me with is unbearable and leads to gasping hysterical laughter. I find myself completely out of control and wonder how could life could surprise me again and again and again, so completely. How could a man be a cynic? It is a sin.
