@hamishmckenzie fiction and journalism that reads like fiction (stories).

@p_millerd Deciding to say no to angel investing was one of the best financial decisions I made.

@nee_massey thanks for coming to Austin. we really appreciate y’all including it on this tour. enjoy the rest of the travels!

@DoveFirebrand @adamfaze @pastasnack_e probably the worst take i’ve seen on this platform

[Pete Hancock VII @peteVII]

there are hundreds of jobs like this (sketch artist for social events) that become viable in a world where AI assists humanity.

UBI people lack creativity.

[Adam Faze @adamfaze]

I’m so tired of how many experiences of my life are now taken over by phones and content so for my birthday party this year I told my friends to leave their phones at home and had a sketch artist capture the night instead

statements like this without clearly laying out the benefits to lower and middle class americans are making things worse.

[Elad Gil @eladgil]

The events of the last 6 months in technology are arguable amongst the most important in human history

The tools now increasingly exist for recursive self improvement of models & agents

We are likely in very early lift off & exponential

Largely unnoticed outside of tech

Wealth doesn’t ruin kids. Confusing wealth with worth does.

@p_millerd key is not increasing your burn rate.

[Pete Hancock VII @peteVII]

@MichaelDell so good - how do we get more games in Austin next year?

[Pete Hancock VII @peteVII]

@girdley right and i’ll add that chasing “generational wealth” is cope for not having control over your life and time.

[Michael Girdley @girdley]

I am tired of everyone talking about generational wealth like they are doing their children and grandchildren some huge favor.

It is a two-edged sword at best.

The objective is enabling kids to be amazing adults.

[Future Islands @futureislands]

Forever grateful to everyone at The Late Show — from David Letterman to Stephen Colbert.

That stage changed our lives.

The night after our first appearance in 2014, we played the Orange Peel in Asheville. Tonight, we’re back there again.
