The world is deeply unfair.

Some of the most talented people I know are stuck in dead end desk jobs while some of the snarkiest narcissistic tyrannical workhorses are in positions of great power.

This has always greatly saddened me.

After a lot of analysis, I think there are 5 reasons this happens:

1. Refusal to believe / fear of failure. Loss of belief that where there is a will (to enact change), there is a way e.g. “I am just a cog in the wheel. If I say something, no one will listen.” or “if I do this, I will upset somebody”

2. Lack of purpose. You don’t really understand what you’re fighting for and what you believe in. You fight for inconsequential, often selfish, goals. e.g “Will doing this get me a promotion? Should I completely change everything to do this other project cause it will get me a promotion?”

3. Lack of self awareness. I will stand up to this thing I believe in and they will listen to me. e.g intern saying: “why doesn’t the ceo like my view on company strategy?”

4. Refusal to play. The failure to acknowledge that your worldview is only as powerful as your ability to influence others of your worldview OR a complete repudiation of the will to interact with those who don’t share your worldview e.g. “these guys just do what they want. They won’t listen to me. what will happen if I do this?”

5. Refusal to strategize or concede. The unwillingness to play and win a side quest that will ostensibly further your vote because you find the interim goal pointless. Or the inability to concede a battle to fight the war. e.g. “this direction is wrong. I need to fight it (even though it’s a small issue)”

Almost everyone who is bitter or feels stuck in their career boils down to one of these 5 failure modes 1, 2 and 3 are the most common. Many suffer consequences of 2-5 and end up in 1. I’ve personally seen some of my sharpest friends land up in 1 because they just don’t believe they can win.

One privileged part of my job is getting to interact with people who are willing to, against all odds, believe in something heretical, know why it’s important, know what needs to be done to make it real, do it, and make side quests to get it done. I think it applies to everyone doing anything.

@rauchg @vercel @PlanetScale @schniz oh wow this is very cool

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.

We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.

no one is able to solve the email problem.

opportunity window wide open.

[Notion Mail @NotionMail]

We’re winding down the Notion Mail inbox across web, desktop, and iOS on September 22.

We launched Notion Mail with a belief that your inbox should think like you—more personal to how you work and over time, more capable with AI.

As Notion agents have gotten more capable, we’ve seen more users hand off email workflows to them. Today, more than half of Notion Mail users manage emails without ever opening their inbox. So, we’re going all in on using agents to run your inbox.

We’re grateful to each and every one of you for building your routine around Notion Mail and trusting us with something that mattered as much as your email. More to come!

I’m AI detoxing.

I feel like I’m losing brain cells relying on LLMs to "think" for me.

Taking a week off AI tools to rebuild my debugging / coding / problem-solving muscles.

Will report back in a week.

[Yask Srivastava @yask123]

@FarzaTV dude you killing it.
