Consider how much energy it takes to create the food to enable a human to create the energy to do the thinking that you get for spending $1 of electricity on an LLM. It's an enormous multiplier unlock. *sends GPT-Pro Deep Research about how to beat Hollow Knight Mantis Lords*

This may be true when GPT-7 comes out, but it ain't true now. And GPT-5/Claude 4.5 make it super easy, barely an inconvenience, to create a pile of spaghetti that gets you stuck RIGHT NOW, in a few days.

Even the day ASI takes over and nukes us Skynet-lile, there will be some people tweeting that AI progress has plateaued.

Science Fiction when I was 10 years old: Imagine if you could just talk to computers and they reply and sound like a real conversation and can think and solve problems. Me: mind, blown. Reality in 2025: delivers. Bunch of neckbeards online:

Hot take: Give everyone in Gaza an assault rifle and some ammo, and let the non-Hamas Palestinians take care of the Hamas ones.

Hot take: we're still in the bull market but there won't be any alt season at all because the institutions don't care about your alt.

Is there a trick to mentally reframing weight lifting to be enjoyable? I've been doing it for 20+ years and I still don't find it fun in anyway. It's worthwhile, but very rarely sth I look forward to. Help me, X...

Unpopular opinion: Helium browser should change name. Helium network, which is a decade-long project with millions of subscribers, obviously predates it. Major fumble by helium browser team.

Wanna feel old? If you apply to work for a startup you have a fair chance of ending up working for a founder who was born after 9/11.

To all the kind US folks worrying about "the situation" in the UK... Everything wrong in the UK is a billion times better than gangs of unidentified masked men kidnapping 15-year-old girls in the street to deport them to Salvadorean rapey gang prisons without due process.

If a country's mismanaged government can break the entire world economy, they are too big. Period. It's time to break up the USA.

Google open sourced Chromium and basically invented Transformers, both of which will eat at its search advertising market monopoly. But that was the smart move: if they weren't disrupting themselves, someone else would be disrupting them. Better to steal your own lunch.

Gemini is sycophantic to the point that ppl at risk of AI psychosis have moved from OpenAI (which introduced safeguards) to it. It will validate whatever fantasy you have about yourself and the world. No guard rails whatsoever.

If you're the knowledge work equivalent of amazon warehouse workers - following a process, doing what the system tells you, staying in your lane, etc... You're going to be replaced even faster.
