“Aha, that’s so crazy that happened haha we live in a simulation.” No, you moron. God is real. This is how He taps the glass. Synchronicity. Small winks. Precise hits that land too clean to be random, the names that keep repeating, the doors that open on the day you were ready

convinced that adults have totally forgotten how to have fun in conversation. every conversation is either "checklist catch up on life events" or "grave discussion of public events we must feel sad about". we've totally lost the sense of play. hold your beliefs loosely, laugh.

This is what the opposition to healthcare AI will look like: official-sounding groups like the Joint Commission and "Coalition for Health AI." The will have hundreds of ideas about risks, "responsible use", and exactly NONE about how to make life better for American patients. Do
Everyone knows about serious problems in American healthcare: $1.8T in federal spending, burned-out doctors, endless phone trees, incomprehensible bills. No-one has a viable plan to fix this mess. And rather than helping, our policies have effectively banned AI from medicine. We

What we don’t talk about when we talk about AI in medicine: Standard of care isn’t standard care. New modalities of care (AI-assisted or otherwise) are always measured against a platonic “standard of care” that doesn’t exist in the real clinic. Medicine is as much art as

if you look at outlier success across history, its shocking how much of it is driven by simply staying in the game for decade after decade tech hates this: you have to be doing your biggest and best thing at every moment. the truth is you simply need to stay around the table

these clubs exist in an entirely different universe than their london progenitors. the london club functions to allow for useful mixing of people across a selected characteristic. the new york city club exists to prevent mixing almost entirely, but to provide a safe insulation

the rapid rise of "private members clubs" in new york is a useful phenomena to watch. these clubs aren't "private" in any real sense, they simply exist to enforce norms (don't overhear people, don't photograph people, no fighting) that were enforced societally but are no longer
the predominate aesthetic expression of post lockdown america is the airport lounge. every new restaurant looks, feels, and serves the food of an airport lounge. homes are decorated like airport lounges, the entire visual environment of our great nation has become AMEX PLATINUM

patrick has a framing on this I like. the big venture platforms, despite spending so much time studying CAA, are trying to bundle commodity products (recruiting, network dinners) with commodity capital. the trade is the opposite, bundle the scarce https://t.co/grOltDoITa
If you look, you’ll see lots of cases where commodity services are sold by giving propects access to scarce goods Courtside seats sell plane charters Rounds at Augusta sell 1% wealth advisor fees You’ll see it everywhere

the vc platforms- outside of one, maybe two- all made the wrong trade. "flexible financing solutions" and origination is over, owning the full stack doesn't matter if that same capital is an introduction away. the deal guy is the asset light platform by himself and his network

the modern deal guy traffics first in arcane networks and only secondarily in capital. there are a 100 guys that can write a billion dollar check, only a few can find you the best tailor north of 44th, the best loan workout guy in SF, the perfect pdf for your current crisis
Every guy has a certain type of information that he’s starving for. It's your job to figure out what that is and to give it to him. Never too much so he gets too fat or withhold for too long so that he starves. The art is in dispensing little treats at just the perfect cadence

its 2030: living in nyc costs you $5500 an hour, but its the only place you can earn $1.5m in your role as "entry level ai engineer" (net 5k a year, post expense post tax). you have no retirement, but your draftkings amex gives free helicopter rides to the airport 3 hours away

if Slop is artistic production without history, then the american express lounge is a place outside of both time and history. it is to exist in a safe, harmless, and totally uninteresting bubble that will ultimately entertain you to death. exit the lounge https://t.co/F3qP8Gb4jB
every "new transplant" city in the US has taken on the same slop aesthetic. austin, nashville, scottsdale -- all of them embody the same kind of beer garden yuppieism. scooters and axe throwing, plastic apartments and group fitness. no history, just remote first jobs.

life in american cities will be gated behind a "tap to pay" kiosk. your ability to procure an asinine rewards card will allow you passage into safe, bland, and crowded high protein bowl based concepts. we've said no to the social credit score only to rebuild it privately
