In any group of any size, whether it's 10 people or 10,000 people, much of the energy of the group ends up being wasted rather being directed towards the group's common goal.

cars and rockets and computers and air conditioning are figments of the imagination made real and people will say magic doesn’t exist

[roon @tszzl]

people underestimate the power of magical thinking. they do it anyways but don’t utilize it consciously or effectively

[Sash Catanzarite @thesash]

@parmita big task doesn’t want you to know this but if you break the emotional reactivity that’s causing the stress the problem goes away permanently

@riechersm @nosilverv looks like my kind of party where would you recommend starting

[Sash Catanzarite @thesash]

@nosilverv incredibly underrated insight, shout out to suffering the ultimate gateway to not suffering

[Sash Catanzarite @thesash]

@nosilverv highly recommend checking out his talks if you haven’t already, they resonated way more for me than the book

this is my favorite starting point

have you spent time with the Rob Burbea soulmaking talks?

he became disillusioned with the practical implications of option a, but understood emptiness too deeply to embrace option b, and introduced a third option which is to intentionally experiment and play with fabrication and see what feels best to you (without losing grounding in the ultimate emptiness of all)

@benjaminakar it has always been easier to raise money than to recruit top talent

[Sash Catanzarite @thesash]

it turns out that internal resistance to doing the thing is both the block against doing the thing and the cause of the suffering mistakenly attributed to the thing that needs doing.

it’s like walking into a closed door and getting mad at the room you’re trying to get to instead of just opening the door.

upon Doing The Thing, you will invariably find two things to be true:

1. Doing The Thing was pretty easy, actually
2. not having Done The Thing was bothering you more than you thought it was

cambrian explosion of creativity incoming

[signüll @signulll]

it’s entirely likely now that once ai collapses the cost of the software layer (which is almost there), the creative layer & perhaps differentiators moves down the stack to hardware, & we might see a cambrian explosion of devices because the integration tax that historically gated hardware startups is now much much less.

you’re already seeing this wearables right now. i hope we get a ton of creativity here whether it’s ambient hardware at home or on your desk or on the go.

ai will be able to live on these surfaces in a natural way, as easily as the way your coffee table lives in your living room today.

increasing returns to slop

[signüll @signulll]

@ryanbrewer we are now all slop cannons.

the future belongs to __________s that build

[Soleio @soleio]

The future belongs to designers who build.

[Sash Catanzarite @thesash]

@tbpn @garthsc i feel like there might be a handful of companies out there that might be interested in more inference compute 🧐

[Sash Catanzarite @thesash]

a new energy resource has entered the chat

[Garth Sheldon-Coulson @garthsc]

Today we're announcing @_panthalassa’s $140M Series B, led by Peter Thiel, with participation from John Doerr and many other incredible investors. The mission: unlock the ocean as another planetary-scale energy resource for humanity. First stop: compute.

[Sash Catanzarite @thesash]

@garthsc @_panthalassa open ocean waves 🤝 power hungry intelligent computers

[Sash Catanzarite @thesash]

approximately the whole economy appears to be up for grabs right now.

good time to be a builder.

@willdepue **taps sign**

[Sash Catanzarite @thesash]

the models are already AGI they just need better tools but they're basically building their own harnesses now the capability overhang is massive and the only reason it doesn't look like the singularity to most people is because they’re still using chatbots

[Sash Catanzarite @thesash]

@rogie what’s old is new again. human designers will white board and sketch on paper while ais push pixels and handle the production design
