This paragraph from Carl Jung hits so hard.

“The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.”

I've tasted the 9-to-5. I've also tasted being a founder.

I highly recommend being born into generational wealth.

Fascinating insight by a scientist friend who’s working closely with AI in research and coding.

“At this stage, AI can easily ace any PG level exams of most of the disciplines but can’t set a good paper even for a UG exam of any subject.

It’s great at answering (well-defined) questions but absolutely incapable of making value judgments - say which question will test what conceptual clarity and what question is worth a one mark and which one is worth ten marks etc.

It definitely knows what’s a good answer but clueless about what is a good question.”

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
