As affordability declines, the instinct will be towards independence and antisocialness. This is a grave mistake. We’ll thrive only through a greater societal design, more sharing, more trust, better safeguards.

When millenials are in charge, can we agree to banish email? All that coulda just been a text

You actually want deflation, not inflation

Business doesn’t actually qualify you to run a government.

Dead internet theory (reality) is an unacceptable state.

Convert all potential promise energy to actuation

We need to build VTOLs YESTERDAY. This is the next step toward scifi transport

There’s way too much historic ignorance. That field might save your life

Hubris

Those of us who can, If we aren’t protectors ourselves, we give no reason to be protected.

The best architects are engineers.

Megalights!!!!!!

Honne: true self Tatemae: public mask

Apple’s marketing to engineering ratio’s starting to resemble Adobe

WWDC26: everything’s boring except higher fidelity maps

Video games should be made in a way that produces real work and compensates player/workers for it

M2 tripled = video games are $100 now.

Person: eat -> work to hopefully produce enough to buy food to eat LLM/bot: energizes -> prompt loop to hopefully produce enough value to receive more energy

When the AI bubble pops, way too many of you are going to sympathize with the oligopolies.

Mag 7 companies are ~5% of the economy. If each was responsible for 5% of the population, they’d have ~16.5M people (more than states). Sounds bubbly. If a state only produced incremental updates to a handful of items - that state’s collapsing. Inflation tripled since 2010 but GDP only doubled.

SpaceX space lasers = One Piece’s Uranus

Current state of AI: AI’s obviously not a pure substitute for labor. Comparing a human to any LLM is similar to comparing a super computer to a low tier web server. They have different qualities that make each more suitable to different tasks. As has been for a long time, using both is optimal.

One thing everyone can agree on: complexity is too high. I can’t simultaneously follow every law, innovate, do taxes, understand the economy, be social, know relevant history, chose the right religion, vote properly, eat right, exercise, save society and all the rest. It’s not feasible.

being a generalist and knowing something’s not great but that you don’t have time to obsess over it… bleh

In US minds, the worst crime one can commit is killing the vibe.

I’m forever changed, haunted by revelation.

I’m excited for Luce v.2

Maybe programmable money is an acceptable next step, provided the current balance of powers is maintained. As it stands, CBDC is like a coup. Congress should reclaim power of the purse. Of course, that relies on ending bribery. Possibly the root of all problems.

Instead of copying AWS, Meta would be better off doubling down on XR

Developers should request architectural renders use 0 post processing and only physically-based, literal lighting. Currently, every render looks like fantasy and the real build is underwhelming.
