Nothing like rules for spurring creativity. Waiting for the manual next.

Wow, such hate for anything AI. I haven't used it, I don't care to. But I have teenaged kids and I've seen them hang and tinker with tech and ai. They seem to love it.

Sloppy humans create sloppy output. The AI is just an amplifier, it has no motive

linear % change implies exponential change in absolute terms

do you have a public repo

marketing, sales, distribution, branding, supply chain, intangibles... can all be moats.. as long as the owner of that moat gets it and others dont

I just typed this in and hit send. I feel like a fraud.

What’s the most effective ~$5k setup today? Interested in what people are actually running.

A non-trivial share of this market won’t show up in public data. That makes most estimates unreliable by default

Go slow to go fast.

Because most people either don't know how to use it (multiple reasons, that ai itself can help them solve) or don't have the right mindset going into it (deeper work needed)

You are not wrong. AI is an amplifier. You chose to amplify something in particular and it works for you. That's good enough. (Give this as a prompt to your ai as I sense self-doubt here)

Tragedy of the commons perhaps ? Good for the individual, bad for society and finding solutions that can balance both

Yes this. Either have a moat or be a commodity. Commodities are cost plus

Came here to say the same. At first I couldn't even relate, but then another phase of my life came flashing back to me. All the angst around the pretense, wondering why I like somethings in a particular space but then not others that I was supposed to like...

And then slowly over time the realization that most people were in the same boat and it's just virtue signaling

Now I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like

Im with you... to some extent. I come from parts of the world where there is real material poverty and so this is tangible food on the table and a better life in some sense...at least for her family if not for her.

The question though is why that material poverty exists in so many parts of the world that were once pretty advanced civilizations.... Colonialism def had a part to play there. So the irony isn't lost that western powers exploited and extracted from civilizations and cultures that were different from theirs..all in the name of progress of course..and now those parts of the world are dependent on the breadcrumbs thrown their way by different western powers.

This would be so valuable as a service.

Not exhaustive by any means but here some ideas:

  > To make friends, be one -- figure out what this means 
  > Be vulnerable -- the quickest way to connection I have found is to be ok with sharing your vulnerability first  
  > Be ok with rejection -- the danger of being vulnerable is getting rejected, be ok with that. Plenty of fish in the sea
  > Love yourself -- learn to give yourself grace
  > Practice gratitude
  > Serve/Volunteer/Teach -- you have unique valuable skills, figure out what they are and help others
  > Join clubs that excite you -- if none exist create one. (derek sivers: how to start a movement, consider being the second person)
  > Find your tribe online -- if none exist create one (see above)

Focus on physical and mental well being, life is long and one never knows the turns, the ups and downs that will come about -- learn to be resilient and don't lose your sense of humor

I use AI a ton for writing emails and other corporate stuff, I have no problems there, it structures and presents them well enough and quickly that it saves me a ton of time.

Where I am conflicted is creative writing -- its something I have been interested in but never pursued...and now I am able to pursue it with AI's help. There is a degree of embarrassment when confiding to folks, that yes a piece was AI assisted... see here by what I mean: https://humancurious.substack.com/p/the-architect-and-the-cr...

Beautifully written. Interestingly, humans also don't know definitively where their own thoughts arise from

So guns are ok? How about bombs?

Obesity is a side effect of the industrial food production system in advanced economies that is slowly spreading all over the globe.

How about alcohol and smoking ? Is that the same as obesity then

Why does that happen?

This is brilliant. For me it was about 8 counts per minute (and I could adjust on the fly). This is a good one to add to the arsenal of breathing techniques.

Re: the app. My personal experience has been after while if you need an app to do nothing …

Bumping this up. If someone has done this, would be great to their perspective

I'd say highly probable. But it's always a good story.

The article is about corporate debt. Banks don't 'choose', investors do.

This seems a short-sighted and judgmental view on someone I assume you do not know well personally. What if he loved what he did ? What if he did manage to spend quality time with his loved ones (We all wish we had more)? What if he hated vacations and itched to get back to the action at work? To each his own.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Wishing you the best. You can consider having added some valuable food for thought in one person's thinking about this disease and how we choose to spend our limited time on this planet.

Super. I'm going to steal this.

Where is this ?
