I will never understand why people don’t remove the license plate cover with the name of the dealership where they bought their car

From March…

Bottom line: No matter how easy or how hard it is, most people just don't want to make stuff for themselves, no matter what it is. The economy goes round because people buy stuff from other people who are good at making those things. I know software makers have a hard time believing other people just don't want to spend all day making software for themselves, but they don't.

Air travel is a modern marvel. You have unemployed, depressed people posting from their parents’ basements 'everything is broken' and 'the end is near' nebulously while back in reality, global infrastructure go brrrrr and normal people are enjoying their lives

This is why we need competition and open weights in AI. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).

I spoke today with a man who arrived from Guatemala 40 years ago with nothing.

He spent time living on the streets, then found work as a laborer.

He eventually started his own construction company, became a U.S. citizen, got married, and raised two daughters who are now thriving as adults.

He told me he truly lived the American dream. Then he paused, and said:

“This country gives you the greatest opportunity in the world, but only if you’re willing to work hard.”

People used to waste their time doing shit that didn’t matter. Now they are vibe coding shit that doesn’t matter.

I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.

Trial lawyers are lobbying against self-driving cars because they're too safe. They need people to be killed and injured so that they have material for lawsuits.
