I did a new podcast with @dkazand about how to help others process big emotions and "feel their feelings". IMO it's a key life skill, esp for relationships, parenting, and self-integration!. We did a live demo of resonance for emotional processing. It's an improvable skill!.

what linear is doing here is a very good idea. i decided to make a list of startups that prioritize helping employees sell some of their equity!. the list:. openai - early 2023, early 2024, late 2024, and now exploring another for late 2025. spacex - late 2023, mid 2024, late.

I asked @jeremyphoward, anonymous, @Jsevillamol, and @tylercowen: "How can people get good at using AI?". @jeremyphoward (@AnswerDotAI, @FastDotAI)."Using AI tools correctly takes months and months of diligent study and practice. When you start doing it, you will be shit and you

I asked anonymous, @IvanVendrov, and @tylercowen: "What sources of information can people look to about the future of AI?". Anonymous (ex-Frontier Lab)."It's definitely possible for the mass media to be parroting a narrative that is not true, this happens all the time, and is

I asked @kenneth0stanley, @finbarrtimbers, and @JeffDean: "What might help society adapt to future AI progress?". @kenneth0stanley - Lila Sciences, ex-OpenAI, Greatness Cannot Be Planned."Even though we can't predict exactly what's coming, there's a real need for new institutions

hi, i'd love reactions to this draft guide. what's awesome, what's confusing, how might you improve it?. draft guide: how to disagree agreeably. if you're disagreeing with someone: know which game you're playing: are you debating to have a verbal joust? or are you debating to

question for real estate developers or people who understand housing policy: what are the most straightforward ways to get these policies changed to make it easier to build more beautiful + walkable places? . presumably it doesn't have to be state level ballot initiatives. does.

@dkazand fun milestone: in the 7 day period from thurs 14th aug to thurs 21st aug, i had three separate experiences of seeing resonance mentioned "in the wild" from people i'd not met before. on thurs 14th evening: was on a group zoom for a course i'm in, someone mentioned "hey btw chris.

I asked @tylercowen, @finbarrtimbers, @tamaybes, @dlbydq, and anonymous: "What might become cheaper or better as AI progresses?". @tylercowen (Tyler Cowen - GMU, MR)."You're going to have much cheaper healthcare, much cheaper services, much cheaper education.". @finbarrtimbers

@dkazand related, resonance can be used for decision making to minimize regret, here's how:

Instructions for making decisions that minimize regret. What if regret was preventable?. This is self-alignment / self-integration (by emotional processing + self-negotiation). Note: this is very much an unpolished early adopter version of these instructions! I need early

@dkazand a new mini-guide for learning resonance:

What might emotional judo look like?. 1. use momentum instead of resistance: don't block their emotion, feel it with them.2. "absorb the hit" first / regulate your state first: breathe, ground yourself. so you don't add counter force. Goal is connection & flowing, not winning.

I made a list of motivation helpers for founders that procrastinate. The option categories:. 1. Join YC (@garrytan), HF0 (@davefontenot), F Inc (@hthieblot, @FurqanR) or another accelerator. 2. Get a high conscientiousness cofounder. 3. Hire someone to “body double” - sit next

I made a list of multi-time founders. The List:. @NoubarAfeyan - Moderna, Seres Therapeutics, Indigo Agriculture, PerSeptive.Kevin Ryan - Gilt, Business Insider, MongoDB.@istoica05 - Databricks, Anyscale, LMArena, Conviva.Chris Ré - Lattice Data, Inductiv, SambaNova, Snorkel AI.

I made a list of ex-founders now working at big AI labs as non-founder employees. You’re probably aware of @mikeyk (IG co-founder) at Anthropic. You might’ve also seen @calvinfo, co-founder of Segment ($3.2B acquisition), joined OpenAI and recently moved on. The List:.

@dkazand

What's the more interesting framing:. 1) the founders: ex-lab (OpenAI, Anthropic, GDM, and xAI) startup founders. 2) the startups: startups founded by ex-lab researchers and engineers. It's the same contents, one is organized around founders, one is organized around startups.

Which curation would you guess people will find most interesting:. 1) ex-lab current founders (eg Liam Fedus).2) ex-founders who’ve joined labs as employees (eg Mike Krieger).3) angels/investors from big labs (eg Jeff Dean, Fraser Kelton).
