I consider myself a

• Designer
• Developer
• Photographer
• Wine enthusiast
• Tech ethics enthusiast
• Self-development enthusiast
• Entrepreneur

but am forever struggling with the complexity of this identity.

[Philippe Schroeder @philippeschroed]

Humans are wired to chase what they don't have.

Old people want to be young,
Young people want to be old.
Famous people want privacy,
Unknown people want fame.
Busy people miss the quiet,
Jobless people wish to be busy.

Start thinking of true wealth in subtraction.

Less stress, less work, less attachment, less busy times, less noise, less distraction.

[Philippe Schroeder @philippeschroed]

Work will always fill the amount of time I give it. If I don't constrain a task to a strict timeline, I will always take too much time and feel unproductive. Whereas if I give a task a crazy short timeline, I often still make it.

If we want to align technology with human values, we need to collectively develop economic and cultural structures based on long-term thinking.

Today we're launching "Modes", including our first new Mode named "Sigma".

Sigma is 2x faster, 50% less expensive, and excels with skin details, close-ups, low-res art, and film grain.

It's great for faster experimentation and enables new results that were impossible before.

For all means other than information & entertainment, good UX of digital products shows in how little time users spend with that product.

Users want to spend as much of their time in real life.

[Philippe Schroeder @philippeschroed]

One of the thoughest barriers to break is to go from consumption to creation.

It is so much easier to let yourself be entertained, informed, inspired, than to do so yourself.

My goal is to reach 20% consumption 80% creation.

AI alignement is only one part of alignment at large. We need to also think about how to align our system of technological capitalism with human and planetary flourishing in general.

[Philippe Schroeder @philippeschroed]

In the dance of creation, a paradox unfolds,
Move on and flow, or let persistence take hold
Sometimes we fight, sometimes we roam,
Both lead us back to where ideas call home.

[Philippe Schroeder @philippeschroed]

Social media platforms embody the attitude that it is more important to be vaguely informed about everything, than to be deeply informed about anything.

[Philippe Schroeder @philippeschroed]

There is one thing I can‘t bear to think about for too long.

Infinity.

What will I be, how will I feel for the infinite amount of time after I‘ve been gone? What does it mean that there‘s no end to the universe, humanity?

This makes me feel small, helpless, anxious every time.

[Philippe Schroeder @philippeschroed]

It takes about 1-2 years each time before I become unsatisfied with my website.

I better get started on a new one soon.

[Philippe Schroeder @philippeschroed]

@mitch0z @letz_ai Yessss💪🏼

[Philippe Schroeder @philippeschroed]

@oykun Also I realize that my focus shifts from wanting to solve personal problems, to solving societal ones.
