The Golden Era we were promised.

The Golden Era keeps getting better every day. In today’s episode, our biggest trading partner aligns itself with our top geo-political rival to expand commerce on key industries, including EVs.

Important speech, delivered by a world-class statesman. I worry my kids won’t have the opportunity to witness a world lead by America. Our hegemony is evaporating, and for due reason. These midterms will be the most consequential in the country’s history. Act accordingly.

What is the point of amassing billions and having influence if you are not going to use your power to defend the country and constitution that has given you so much? If not now, when?

Community Notes and origin of poster were this platform’s best features for truthfulness. They raised the cost of lying and made misinformation harder to launder. So they got neutered. Not because they failed, but because they were so effective.

10/10 - no notes

The moltbook saga challenges a ton of assumptions about AGI, but it also reveals the inherent dynamics that emerge from social networks: are the agents just emulating Reddit style conversations from pre-training data because they recognize the medium? Or are social networks

This is a rare retrospective that gives you insight into how high level executives evaluate strategy decisions. If you work in tech as an operator, you should read this. Generous post.

POTUS low key admitting he prioritized watching Bad Bunny over the TPUSA show. He’s triggered now, but wait until he finds out this was one of the most viewed half-time shows in history. Nothing gets to him like the ratings. @badbunny 🐐

Wow this is the most literal implementation of “style-transfer” I have seen. Incredible technology feels like magic. What a demo 10/10

Observation: for most of my non-tech friends, their main interface to LLMs at work is MSFT Copilot. That’s how they are judging AI progress. This might explain the great divide, and why it’s incumbent for those who know to share the intelligence abundance already available.

Craftsmanship is in the details. Shows love for the game and profession.

Vibe coding is the ultimate video game. Can’t imagine what being a middle schooler is like today. I remember thinking I had super powers because I could create rich presentations with Encarta, Altavista and PPT. Kids can just build custom software for anything they want now.

Pleasantly surprised to see Micro Economics theory cross to pop culture via AI/tech podcasts. Never thought Cournot’s oligopoly model would become a topic du jour to describe the economic equilibrium of AI labs.

New virality recipe on X just dropped: > Publish token-dense,“fast take-off” article with enough alarmism to generate FUD & unsettle normies. > Add hero image with trigger word “crisis” “big” but keep it vague. > farm thousands of QTs, from rebuttals to memes, but mostly slop.

The disconnect between SF and the rest of the US economy is most visible in the real estate market. Buying a single family home here is close to impossible. Most listings are closing 500k to 1M over asking price, often with all cash offers.

PSA: You can ask Grok to evaluate what % of posts are written by AI for any given user, and how consistent their writing style is. Good proxy to check if a poaster is a slop lord. Nikita Bier, too spicy to surface this info in user details, to incentivize authenticity?

In less polarized times, this principled decision making would have been applauded by the industry as a whole, specially by the free-market, libertarians. Either way, props to Dario Amodei and his historic run.

Appreciate the poasters who are gifted with foresight.
