@besttrousers People don’t measure themselves against previous generations, but against how much their own situation has improved. By that measure, Gen Z is doing the worst.

@ben_makes_stuff @DmytroKrasun Smart choice ;)

Prediction: Anthropic will be the Lyft of AI chatbots. Biggest market is in SF, perceived as cooler, slightly better product, but eaten by scale and better brand recognition in the end

Dads: be more like season 1 Bandit, and less like season 2 Bandit

It is crazy how much becoming a parent changed how I think about travel. I used to dream about new destinations, but now I dream about showing my kid some of my favorite places.

[José Miguel Santos @zemigsan]

is it just me that got a bit too excited about the ChatGPT animation on top of the app now showing ChatGPT 4.5 for a brief moment?

[José Miguel Santos @zemigsan]

Everybody is going crazy about this being the future while it is already the present.

The algorithm is already different for each individual and just predicts what you would like to see based on who you follow, like, or spend time on.

That last part is the agency you have.

People should have more kids because they are amazing - that should be the main motivator, and it is an incredible one.

[José Miguel Santos @zemigsan]

It is equally lame to spread fear about the need for more children to prevent human extinction as it is to claim that we must have fewer children to avoid the extinction of the Earth.

Both are equally flawed in underestimating human ingenuity and technological progress.

Your 2-year-old shouting "Daddy, no!" when you pick up your phone is the most powerful reminder of being present in the moment.

Looking back, @elonmusk considering working from home morally wrong will be seen as a "high-interest rate phenomenon."

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

Elon Musk said on CNBC: “I think that the whole notion of work from home is a bit like the fake Marie Antoinette quote, ’Let them eat cake.' It’s not just a productivity thing. I think it’s morally wrong.”

@marionzualo The most important is that you build the right ship. In a way, it is good if you don't need to spend too much time focusing on the factory, at least up to a certain that you prove that your ship is valuable.
