Our time is fleeting. What we do matters. #longpath Elliot Cosgrove Park Ave Synagogue

Finally, the study formulates a framework to open up possibilities for alliances that seek to better understand and realize the politics of deep time. Practically, I propose the establishment of a Deep-Time Observatory.

The argument against creating a massive, interlinked, totally comprehensive database of all your knowledge (Instead, create a small, minimalistic, outcome-oriented one)

Programming isn't going away. Prompting is programming. And the better you are at articulating what you want in clear written English, the better your results.

this is what's keeping me up at night these days... 1. google has become unusable. once you get used to "deep research" (thanks grok, perplexity etc), google feels like bringing a typewriter to a macbook meeting. 2. MCP will do for ai agents what REST did for web services -

Intelligence is on tap now so agency is even more important

Fine, I'll say the thing that no-one is saying... There's a bunch of AI companies with $1-10M "ARR" raising big VC money on what I'll call "curiosity revenue" - not real sustainable ARR. Basically, what's happening right now is a lot of people have high willingness to try AI

Remember this is the worst AI will ever be at everything

Don't wait until you think you're an expert to share what you're learning about a skill or craft. By the time you get really good, it's often hard to explain how you do what you do. Expert advice is often unclear or overly abstract. But there's a sweet spot when you're early

immense harm is done by the belief that work must suck from birth i was probably told 1,426 times you have to learn how to work hard. society shames people that don't have jobs. I reject the notion that telling people to also consider work might be joyful is dangerous

The Internet is the most important phenomenon of our time, yet somehow still underestimated. Two thirds of the world is now online.

The most underrated AI superpower isn't fancy prompting—it's writing down your workflow. 1. Record your process 2. Define what good looks like 3. Transform one-off AI experiments into systems that can be automated and shared with your team

The AI boom is not just probably bigger than the two previous ones I've seen (integrated circuits and the internet), but also seems to be spreading faster.

Barack Obama says AI isn't just disrupting coders -- it’s disrupting meaning “Already, AI can code better than 60–70% of programmers. A lot of that work is going to go away.” When high-skill work is automated, it's not just the experts who need to adapt. Where does purpose come

Kevin Kelly (Kevin Kelly) has spent more time thinking about the future than almost anyone else. From VR in the 1980s to the blockchain in the 2000s—and now generative AI—Kevin has spent a lifetime journeying to the frontiers of technology, only to return with rich stories

I think AI is going to massively widen the cognitive divide Those who already know how to think clearly, logically, and critically have gained immense leverage to do so at unimaginable scales For those who don't already have that cognitive capacity, it's going to be harder than

Is anyone finding their interest in consuming any "how-to" content dropping dramatically? Whether YouTube videos or nonfiction books, passive consumption of static content now feels like a positively ancient way to learn anything, when compared to the instant interactivity of
