The majority of the time I reach out to a company for a quote they either don't reply or don't read half of what I wrote. It doesn't matter what industry. Software cos might be an exception, but anything that isn't VC funded seems to have a startlingly low bar of competence.

Called it. I was pretty understated compared to what I actually thought: that remote work is mostly about not working.

The last time a bunch of talented people left OpenAI to found a company we got Anthropic, which is now valued at $60 billion. This is saying that investors think there's at least a 20% chance Thinking Machine Labs will be worth >$45 Billion. Not hard to imagine at all.

In 2020 I bet Robin Hanson LLMs would generate over $1B in annual revenue by 2025. Looks like I won. Here’s a report putting the LLM market at at $5.6B in 2024. grandviewresearch.com/industry-analy… Robin, any objection to this interpretation?

being poorer is harder now than it used to be because lower standards of living are illegal. Want a tiny house? illegal. want to share a bathroom with a stranger? illegal. The floor has risen and beneath it is a pit

The list of the fastest shrinking US cities since 2020 starts with some of the most economically depressed, violent, and and physically dilapidated places in the country. And of course San Francisco, the richest and most economically dynamic city in the world.

Someone should make an app that looks at traffic and airport lines and tells you when to leave for a given risk tolerance of missing your flight.

As I’ve said before, eastern cities have *urban* affordability problems, but the cost of living quickly tapers off as you get out into the suburbs, where you can live pretty cheaply still. On the west coast, the crisis never stops. It just goes on and on.

Unironically believe a big chunk of our policy problems would be solved if people had this level of economics understanding.
