At Blood on the Clocktower, Fable 5.2 is still worse than GPT-6 Astra. Though much better than Opus 5.5 or Fable 5.1

“For every eight guys who retire in this trade, only one guy picks it up. The whole industry is in danger.” “Wow. Would you hire me? I’d love to learn it.” “Absolutely not.”

the airline lounge discourse of the seething professional class is always fascinating to me because it’s yet another thing that was cool during the 90s and 00s (like driving a bmw, working remote, or going on ski trips) that’s deeply uncool and shitty now because it’s more accessible than ever and seen as more aspirational than ever

Absolute scenes on the neighbourhood WhatsApp group. Someone's cat went missing and they put up posters, leading to the discovery that their cat has also been living with a different family for the past *12 years*.

dude... if one guy can make this with a single prompt and $550 budget, imagine what a AAA company can build with a typical $100-$300M budget and a full team of writers, artists, and sound designers.

Norway now has more than 2,000 underwater AI laser robots shooting lice off its salmon they're made by a company called Stingray, and they already guard more than 50 million salmon and trout 24/7 the reason is sea lice, tiny parasites that latch onto salmon and feed on them as few as 11 can kill a small fish, and one pen can hold 150,000 salmon the usual fix is pumping the fish out and blasting them with warm water or water jets to knock the lice off but the handling is so rough that Norway's fish health report ranks it the top cause of death in full-grown farmed salmon so instead, Stingray puts a robot inside the pen that hunts lice one at a time, all day: > two cameras watch every salmon that swims past > AI checks two frames to make sure it's really a louse > then a green laser fires from up to 2 meters away > the salmon's scales reflect the beam, so the fish swims off fine and the louse is dead we now live in a world where AI lasers do pest control on your dinner lmao

What's even the point of living Gus Fring's life in Breaking Bad? You make all this money, move all this product, and build an entire legitimate business to clean it, only to spend most of your day running a fucking chicken restaurant. I get wanting a legitimate front and having some sense of normalcy, but how much peace of mind can you really have knowing you could get killed or thrown in prison at any given moment? I just don't see how all that money is worth living a life where you're constantly looking over your shoulder.

Honestly if they sent a honeypot after me she’d probably fall in love with me and betray China

can one of the private credit guys pls go rip a fund focused on 20-smthg sf founders? there's a ton of places to get debt but i stg none of them are legible + accessible to the lil zucks running around sf. much needed in the age of asset heavy businesses accruing the most value this would look like front office of a vc, back office of a trad credit firm that means: •on the ground in sf. talent mapping. events. hire a sourcer corgi girlie. be a chiller founders wanna hang with. this is the core differentiation from trad credit firms founders don't know personally •legit financial dd, not vibes investing •educate the lil zucks on asset classes and forms of financing. lack of financial literacy across the valley is astounding. we need a new form of education / accelerator, focused on financing for founders •new form of network value-add for early stage founders. this neofirm would spike on PE style search algo connections, not ex. recruiting engineers hmu if you do this. i have a ton of inflecting founder friends with "companies that touch atoms" who need you asap

I don't know why James Bond producers are auditioning anyone at all when Pierce Brosnan returning to the role is the absolute perfect idea. Have him come out of retirement because MI6 needs a veteran's expertise for a mission that no amateur 007 could ever accomplish. Brosnan still looks handsome as hell and the film would easily make a billion dollars to see perhaps the greatest actor to ever play Bond do it again.

In 2018 I was 38 and single. This is today.

I’m also going to add on to this. Hearing mass panic in SF right now at ANT. Everyone is panicking over what will happen to their equity. Hearing a lot of things right now. Scary.
