Uhh, the current big tech shareholder and private equity driven model of value extraction is inefficient, more brittle than ever, and funding fascism. We could replace them all with Costco model clones… Uber, Lyft, Substack, Onlyfans, etc

Todo: build Palantir for democracy

Thanks for the advice. I’ll be writing about how we don’t need Amazon, Uber, Instacart, Substack, Onlyfans, etc. anymore. Or basically most extractive, subscription based, PE model tech. With software commoditized, their technology moat is eroding.

(Technical skills will still be necessary of course, just no longer sufficient) - aim for the hard or interesting stuff (especially conceptual). Now is the time to go for the long, blue-sky-ish projects. Learn new areas, go deep. The times of competing on superficial breadth are gone (sorry, me) 4/

#QuitGPT more like #NeverGPT, what are you some kinda schmuck?

Rewild the internet!

Elon Musk should have been Jack Ma’d legally a long time ago.

How can you help? Repost this. We don’t need money. We need channels to get our message out. This post includes a Starter Pack featuring us and other organizations working in the same space. Sharing it helps all of us reach new audiences. Please repost. go.bsky.app/RXFLYri

We need to fund Americans to travel, see, and experience their own country. All transport paid for or at least heavily subsidized at least once per American’s lives. Something like a national travel corps. A country this wealthy and diverse is hindered by our current levels of isolation.

If only by Bezos’ unsolicited protest you can tell his insecurity has overcome him. All the money in the world can’t buy him the self-confidence Zohran has. Plus for my money, Bezos got lucky by circumstance. Maybe he had a spark of brilliance, once, but Zohran is an operator like he’ll never be.

If New York City ran its school system like Amazon some of the diplomas would be delivered to the wrong porch, the students would be classified as independent contractors, and the school tax would keep changing every minute.

Everyone dies so it’s fundamentally impossible for anyone to own anything. #usufruct or something idk

Is it just me or did #kevinOleary really shut the fuck up and stuff it when it became obvious he was really toxic for their datacenter PR?

lol, no marketing campaign will ever get me to sign up to @kalshiofficial.bsky.social or @polymarket.extwitter.link. Betting markets including Robinhoods will always be deeply uncool.

With all the news about the @workday.com discrimination case, if you’re a tech worker or really anyone applying through workday portal, you could consider circumventing Workday entirely by finding the hiring manager some other way and sending them your resume directly.

“Parasocial proof”

The best/quickest way to vet a hire or anyone these days is to ask them to show you their #insta algo screen. Normalize showing friends your algo 😂

I got Forza 5 on the Playstation and my wife has been stealing it from me because she enjoys it so much. I walk into the living room this morning and see this

I'm at Delaney Hall in Newark, where human beings are being warehoused under abusive conditions. We have to abolish ICE and create a new system for handling immigration.

Onlyfans and gambling apps should require a reading test to signup.

Wtf is this!? I’ve set up a quite a few Mac’s and never seen this modal. Maybe I’m jumping the gun but they'll enshittify the fabric of fuckin reality if not stopped.

Private equity is just market colonialism.

Yo, believe it or not it works! #coffeesky m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hdz...

I’m currently watching James Hoffman steam water to make an Americano. Annoyingly I know I’m going to try it tomorrow morning.

Is anyone working on an AT Proto marketplace or commerce lexicon à la FB marketplace, OfferUp or Craigslist?? It’s a last thing I sign into FB for and I think there’s a lot of possibilities there.

Pico de gallo water tequila shots or cocktail (Patent Pending)

Though as @garyseconomics.bsky.social recently noted, there’s a bit of a dearth of economics professionals pointing to a wealth tax as a necessity at this point even if only on the basis of #gametheory

As an econ nerd I feel it’s possible to trace most of the unrest in the world today to wealth inequality (in a broad sense) and therefore to monetary and fiscal policy. And it’s near maddening that this is a seemingly fringe perspective. #EconSky

An open internet is an inevitability.

We just bombed two schools in Iran, killing 50. Is that defending our national security? Disgusting rhetoric. Someone needs to primary Rep. Gottheimer.

Going on a progressive donation spree. Just hit up @katmabu.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, and @gregjstoker.bsky.social. Who do I need to hit up next? #midterms
