Age of desperation. It's convenient and easy to strongly and convincingly pursue a hot narrative. Deep cynicism is our greatest weapon to defeat propaganda. Accept nothing as fact until it reaches a meaningful checkpoint or conclusion.

We're definitely living in a simulation. X is just Barnum repeating himself over, and over.

Here's my 6 hour conversation with @dhh, a legendary programmer, creator of Ruby on Rails, author, and race car driver. This was a fun and inspiring conversation on everything from the future of programming & AI to the nature of happiness & productivity to the value of family,

I would pay the shit out of a Patreon for someone who hosted a live tour of the world's great towns and cities every Sunday at 8am. That person would have to be a great communicator, though. For example, you would be AWFUL.

I originally thought AI could not precisely define software needs and distribution. My thinking was entirely flawed. So many of us think around traditional paradigms. If course AI wouldn't spec out Microsoft Word. That's old school. Whatever AI proposed would be way better.

LLMs really are dogshit at coming up with novel headline ideas. BUT if you're a creative soul and all you need is a different perspective, it's paraffin to your flames.

The quoted range of estimated wealth for individuals is so disgustingly diverse that Google should derank any pages including the words 'net worth'. He's worth either $2m or $129bn. Sounds like they use the same techniques as measuring marketing effectiveness.

I wrote a fuck ton of words - none of them machine-generated - about the turning point for AI in the enterprise. Introducing our superheroes, Gemma 3n and Kimi-K2.

I would love to see someone do a beginner's guide to all the different features and use cases of AI Studio and @NotebookLM. Between these two apps greatness lies.

Is there an app integrated with Google Drive that could absolutely massacre my docs sprawl and question me on every single file until only the most important 25 remain. Like a docs death match.

I don't think the kernels of human genius reside in books. They live here, and in every spirited conversation you have ever had. Few others capture the human essence quite like Seinfeld and @rickygervais.

Why don't open source LLMs include web search functionality? Strikes me as a huge unlock to incorporate outreach for additional insights within a smaller modal you can host locally.
