Simple Life Optimization Heuristic - Identify intersection of:
1/ What you see as the worlds most critical inefficiencies or injustice; 2/ Where you can create the most value and/or learn the most; 3/ Get to do stuff that gives you the most joy - then aim for the middle everyday.
I wonder if it will have FSF - Full Self Flying - into your parking spot to beat the other guy in the other lane. :)

Holy fuck. @Tesla Roadster is actually insane. I was actually speechless. As a car guy all my life — I’m flabbergasted. Demo was unreal. This felt like a more awesome technical reveal and demo than even the iPhone. Wow.

Every effective company is a harness for AI in one way or another, just as every effective company is an amplifier of humans.
We just don’t call companies harnesses, unless you think your humans are high horsepower. Okay, that went too far.
If you leader in a company and you're not "writing code" with AI 10% of your time to:
1/ Learn what's coming
2/ Build what's next
3/ Refactor what's rotting
You might as well be dead.
If you are a leader/exec/CEO, or anyone in tech -- and you aren't building & "writing code" with AI.
WTF are you doing?
If you aren't spending at LEAST 10%-20% of your time building/"coding" w/ AI -- the stuff that's taking you away from that time IS the distraction.
I came back to code because AI made it possible for me to build at a level I couldn't before.
I'm not coding despite being CEO of YC. I'm coding because this is the most important technological shift since the internet and I'd be an idiot to experience it from the bleachers.
I'm 45, running the most important startup institution in the world, and I can ship production software at 2am. That's not a distraction from the job.
That is the job understood correctly.
No matter which side you’re on, the clip choices are unintentionally hilarious. In the darkest way possible.
I’m not very a political person - But using my favourite movies and games to promote war from the @WhiteHouse just feels wrong.
lol interesting movie choices
Braveheart: The entire movie is about resisting imperial occupation by a more powerful nation. Using it to celebrate American military power is exactly backwards -- we are the empire.
Saul Goodman: A corrupt, morally bankrupt lawyer who helps a meth dealer and ends up in witness protection. His entire arc is about the rot inside the American dream.
Keanu Reeves: Canadian. Born in Beirut. Raised partly in Australia. Using him as an avatar of American might is weird.
Christopher Reeve: Died paralyzed after a horse riding accident. His legacy is disability advocacy and stem cell research... causes the right largely opposed.
Walter White: Poisons children, murders people, destroys his family, and dies alone in a meth lab. Cranston himself is openly liberal.

Google’s Genie3 is not getting enough attention.
Gangster move for Google to drop on same day as OpenAI open source model.
Genie3 is even more impressive. By far.
Kudos to both teams for making it a magical time to be alive.
Incredible evolution of "Neural Video Games": from GQN (2018) to Genie3 (2025). The future is exciting!

Damn. This is actually one of the best series of AI generated content I’ve seen In a while.
This is just amazing anime style content/video.
