Yeah, it’s the same problem as nuclear proliferation.

We see what happened with Ukraine when they gave up their nukes in exchange for a promise of protection.

The same could be true of countries who forgo AI development directly in exchange for promises.

Really looking forward to playing Voxile with my friends! I feel like merging real quests with a Minecraft-like will be compelling.

Are you assuming elite college admission counts are rigid in the count of people admitted because of real teaching constraints or reducing the supply of prestige?

Then why do we have books on grit? And why is grit such a good indicator of successful founders?

Have you ever read Yonatan’s article on Shock Wealth and how the ruling class is incentivized to cause shocks?

Blanket demand results in blanket pricing.

Demand increases prices for things, even if their intrinsic / fundamental value isn’t superior to other things in the (ETF) basket.

It’s arguably a market mispricing.

If AI enables the personalization of apps for individuals, wouldn’t it also be good at doing so for families?

Maybe there is an opportunity to create vibe coded products that fit into the rhythm of a given family.

Collective emotion as a construct for a bigger family goal is an interesting optimization problem.

Mint for tracking your family’s mental and emotional health.

Beautiful articulation of the value of wisdom over intellect. Of being a generalist over a specialist at all times.

I agree here. English (human language) to Bytecode is the future.

With reverse translation as needed.

Agreed. This is a very interesting discussion! Thanks for bringing it to light.

Have you read Escher, Bach, Gödel: the Eternal Golden Braid?

@futurisold, would love to collaborate with your team on running experiments. We have $300k of GPU credits to burn in the next 2 months.

There’s only so many cat videos my Agentic AI Army can create:

Nice! But have you considered a Neurosymbolic AI that can Evolve?

Can confirm. Was an HP Scholar at the time and leadership was chaotic.

Good people though.

Very cool explanation between time as a variable and graphical design “aberrations”

My biggest takeaway from this was the ableist messaging:

“You cannot dangle what people need to effectively work in front of them like a carrot and subtly threaten to take it away. It’s ableist. You wouldn’t dare to do that with elevators or other accessibility features at the office, so don’t do it with that either.”

Currently in Spain and originally from Seattle. Was thinking this very thing earlier today.
