This is so stupid it could happen only in a political context. Politics brings out the most supidity in people I guess.

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

In ‘Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?,’ the last book he released before he was assassinated, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. warned humanity about “destroying ourselves in the misuse of our own instruments.”

And here we are.

We can still choose better for humankind and for the earth.

David Sacks’ Most Contrarian Take for 2026: AI Will Create MORE White Collar Jobs, Not Destroy Them

From All-In's 2026 Predictions Show, Published January 9th

@Jason:

“Sacks, you got a contrarian belief for 2026?”

@DavidSacks:

“Yes. AI will increase demand for knowledge workers, not decrease it.

I would refer you to Aaron Levie's post called Jevons Paradox for Knowledge Workers, and the point of Jevons Paradox is that as the cost of a resource goes down, the aggregate demand for it actually increases because you discover more and more use cases.

So I think this will certainly happen with code. In the past, it's been very expensive to generate code. You have to hire engineers, there's not enough of them, it's an expensive resource. So the amount of software generated in the economy was limited by that.

I think it's going to increase massively now because the cost of generating code is coming down so much.

But there's other examples, too.

You take a field like radiology, that's frequently cited as a profession that AI is going to put out of business. That's not what the data shows. The data shows that the number of radiologists is increasing. Why? Because the number of scans that people want to make is increasing.

And it's true that AI can do some of the work, but you still need a doctor to prompt the AI, to interpret the AI, to validate it.

So you get more efficient, the cost of scans goes down, and instead of it being a super specialty that happens very rarely, that you need a referral on top of a referral to get, it becomes something that's normalized, and everyone starts doing it, and you start getting more and more scans, that leads to better and better outcomes.

I think there's going to be a lot of those examples through the economy, and we're going to look back and see that the job loss narrative was not only wrong, but we actually got job gains.”

I'm obsessed with @uniqlo ever since my luggage got lost in a trip to Tokyo and i had to buy a completely new wardrobe

Amazing basics across their airism and heattech lines, the former great for hot Austin Summer, the latter great for lake Tahoe winters

Fabric technology is just insane!

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Bravo @JeffBezos!

An update: we’re 3xing the rate limits for Gemini models across all paid tiers in Antigravity and resetting everyone’s Gemini quota for the week.

We understand some people hit their rate limits quickly and wanted to respond fast. Lots more to come and enjoy building!

@Vish_owl @VladislavNegura @OfficialLoganK This is awesome, and I was looking forward to it! Thank you!

@braindersnn @chamath How is any of that concentrated wealth passive though? You think people keep 1 billion dollars in the bank? It's likely MORE active than in the government's budget.

Agency > Intelligence

I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?

Grok explanation is ~close:

“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.

People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.

It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

[Amanda Askell @AmandaAskell]

I really dislike categorizing *people* as technical and non-technical. It makes technical work seem like some kind of arcane skill rather than just a thing all people can learn to do to the extent that it's useful to them.
