@BobbySkinner_ would have been exponentially better had he given up the later 2nd rounder for Burns and gotten Kamari Lassiter instead of Nubin in that first round. would have been a game changer.

@caseyshoots @Filmgadfly thank you for suggestions. notes are normal, but ideas have no value. Thereve been 1000s of writers (think of how many ivy league grads) with scripts. There are no new ideas. There's no idea that someone hasn't had before. execution is all that matters. what is 11:59 about?

[Ready Forit @ready_forit]

@caseyshoots @Filmgadfly please list a couple of the great scripts you loved that are still avail. Will read them asap. any that you truly believe actually deserves to be made. thank you.

I'm 46. Here are fat loss cheat codes I wish I knew at 26:

1. Eat the same meals every day. Studies show meal repetition can reduce daily calorie intake by up to 40%. The leanest people I know aren't eating for variety. They're eating on repeat.

Chatted with a water resource economist at an event in California yesterday.

The state’s water “shortage” really is one of the most unforced errors in policymaking.

Key stats:

- farmers use 80% of the developed water supply

- residents use 20%

- cities pay ~20x higher prices (!) for water than farmers (~$722/acre-foot vs ~$36/acre-foot)

- some of the biggest agricultural districts in the state pay literally $0 for their water

- meanwhile agriculture accounts for just ~2% of California’s economy

It’s crazy that politicians tell residents to take shorter showers or get rid of their lawns instead of just charging farmers the market price for their water usage.

One of the smartest things @PaloAltoNtwks CEO @nikesharora said about M&A on the pod had nothing to do with price.

When Palo Alto acquires a company, they don’t “integrate” it the traditional way. They flip the org chart.

If the founders beat you with fewer people and less capital, why would you put them under your bureaucracy?

Nikesh’s rule is simple: they run it.

That one decision helps explain why their M&A actually works - and why most corporate acquisitions quietly die.

If you’re a founder thinking about selling, or a CEO thinking about buying, his is a masterclass in how talent (not technology) is the real asset.

Early specialization is overrated. Generalists excel over time.

Data on >34k stars in sports, music, science, and chess: Focusing on a single field predicts a faster rise, but cross-training foreshadows a higher peak.

The most successful adults start off as well-rounded kids.

From the perspective of a caveman or even farmer from few hundred years back - most of our jobs (us city dwellers) are like UBI (universal basic income).

You cannot convince a 15th century person that what a typical MBA grad does is a legit profession, let along one of the highest paid ones.

In light of what is happening with AI - I have had an lightbulb moment - that Graeber’s “bullshit jobs” are actually a form of UBI. We need bullshit jobs to sustain the economy and the society.

Just growing food, packaging it and feeding the 8B people of earth needs just 1-2% of the population to do it. What will the rest 98% do?
Initial days of COVID lockdown showed us how the economy needs to constantly “move”. It collapses if stationery. If for even few weeks, people stop spending money, entire economy stalls, GDP free falls, everyone’s income becomes zero because everyone’s income after all comes from someone else spending money.

So when people say that “if AGI automated everything then we need UBI” I guess they are not realising that before AI there has been electricity, computers, Internet, industrial manufacturing and lots of other paradigm shifts that have already done a wave of “automate everything”, and the human race just went ahead and invented yet another hundred million bullshit jobs to keep the displaced population busy with something to keep the economy moving. And we will do exactly the same after AGI as well.
