if agi/asi solves the intelligence issue then what's gonna solve the courage issue?

[Chaitanya @snvdch]

If intelligence is rarely the bottleneck and courage often is, then how much improvement in human experience can we expect from artificial intelligences?

Are we leaving any low hanging fruit on ways to make people more courageous?

Need artificial general courage.

Google released - Gemini spark, omni and other ai products/models, these are great stuff and I think in the right direction.
But unless these these models get really cheap, i find it hard to imagine these large models having widespread adoption.

Not a Gemini specific comment.

[Chaitanya @snvdch]

With an input price of $ 1.5 per 1M tokens and output price of $ 9 per 1M.

That's only slightly less than current prices of 3.1 pro and 2.5 pro.

I want to see a token cost to ~intelligence graph of all the frontier models.

1/ Today at #GoogleIO, we’re releasing Gemini 3.5, our latest family of models combining frontier intelligence with action.

We’re starting by releasing 3.5 Flash, which is built to help you execute complex, long-horizon agentic workflows.

Gemini 3.5 Flash is our strongest model for coding and agent https://t.co/m62cBJhIjJ outscores 3.1 Pro on agentic and coding benchmarks like Terminal-Bench and MCP Atlas, while running 4x faster than other frontier models.

Used in Google Antigravity, 3.5 Flash is even further optimized to be up to 12x faster. It’s a powerful engine to deploy sub-agents that collaborate, run high-frequency iterative loops, and solve real-world problems at scale.

Some highlights we’re excited about 🔽

@pnwprincess23 Looks so good, I'd love to see more of your origami

@visakanv This would be a great book cover.

Small things lead to big things

[Chaitanya @snvdch]

Inspired by "do it 100 times" by Visa, I'm committing to meditate everyday for next 100 days. Hopefully I can stop counting after that.
Lets do this. Starting today.

[Chaitanya @snvdch]

I have been wanting to meditate regularly for about 3 years now but I never actually committed to doing it. The supposed benefits are good motivation.

[Chaitanya @snvdch]

@AssamOniisan We've always cracked eggs with a spoon in our home. How else would you do it?

[Chaitanya @snvdch]

@swyx I think It's too long for this format, i stopped reading at the middle.

[Nick @nickcammarata]

meditation can fix this, and i dont think the explanation you quote tweeted in your reply that “each year is a smaller % of your life.” is the real explanation

time speeds up because experience gets compressed by habit, craving, aversion, planning, selfing. these create conditionings most people can't feel, but are there, and you can train to feel it

lsd is the obvious proof point: temporarily loosen the conditionings and ~everyone reports time slowing down, things being more vivid, the world feels childlike again. because it is more childlike, you had fewer conditionings then. almost everyone with tens of thousands of hours of meditation practice reports ~2-3x slower time, more vivid experience, because something drops, which matches my experience too (this longevity benefit was a big motivation for doing it in the first place, and it basically did what the books claimed it would)

@hypersoren This entire discussion of permanent underclass is incredibly toxic
