Damn, what if I'm a design researcher
Designers are burnt out. Call it passion at 60 hours, quiet quitting at 40 - and wonder why 82% of designers are burned out. Design has a problem other tech roles don't. Our work is never done. There's always one more iteration, one more pixel to perfect. Good enough feels

Tech-abstinence is the next big status symbol. Sustained focus without the need to check your phone. Immunity to brainrot. Total detachment from the algorithmic overlords. Most people are already too far gone.
i’m so fascinated by men like this he read “the brutality of modernity” on a 10 hr flight with the map on the whole time

The most common anthropocentric mistake is to think that we are a general intelligence. It just simply appears so because we are relatively intelligent within our small niche of reality. The things we cannot compute are vastly greater than those we can't, and we don't even
Interesting fact about nature is that it stumbled into general intelligence when trying to make monkeys that are hungry less often.

If we've learned something in the last years is that networks are the most powerful information processing structure there is.

I worked at Google doing ads. There a lot of incentives to improve ad targeting, but I can assure you it doesn't listen to you. The appearance that is shows you ads based on what you just talked about is a combination of the Baader-Meinhof effect (red car effect) and good
Introducing Gaslight Garage: a box where I put my phones and feed them AI-generated audio nonsense to make them think I want to buy stuff. Practical AI for the people. 👌 I'll report back if my ads change in the next weeks.

when the novelty wears off, when we aren't so awed by empty technological pageantries, will we be able to look at what we have built and say that we have truly improved the human condition?

Been saying this for years
Why do we keep dedicating our brightest minds, billions of dollars, and the most powerful GPUs on earth to building yet another app that optimizes for attention decay? I was hopeful when ChatGPT seemed to reclaim time from TikTok and Instagram. It felt useful, even nourishing.

Alcaraz's rise to this insane level at 22 years old (I'd argue the best level ever seen in tennis) needs to be scientifically studied. It's crazy how a single guy can be so above everyone.

Perhaps the belief I hold the most strongly.
I used to have bright white overhead lights on until the last moment of the day like some maniac. I've recently discovered you can massively improve your QoL by shifting to very dim, warm lights for the last hour or so before going to bed.

AI bros can learn the most about what people actually want by listening to people not in AI. Surprisingly, I've found Hollywood people tend to have good takes.
📁 Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

Hey listen up, the killer use case of generative ai is not generating more content. It is organising existing content to help us make sense of it.

in many ways as far as timing is concerned for new breakthrough technology is facebook / meta operating against the zeitgeist? like who is asking to be *more* plugged in? the iphone was born into a pre smartphone vacuum, everyone wanted a single device for music + calls +
as a man who's always wanted to watch tiktoks when i get bored during conversations with people - the meta display glasses are looking very compelling

If you don't watch tennis yet, it's a great time to start now. We are in the ealry the days of what will be a legendary rivalry, and some of the craziest tennis ever played.

This is crazy: Over the course of their entire rivalry so far (15 matches), only *six* points separate Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner 🤯 Alcaraz - 1,579 points Sinner - 1,573 points (@_SportsBall_)
