do not let yourself be reduced to the status of audience at a magic show, uncomprehendingly clapping as machine intelligence creates parcels of astounding knowledge. all of this is for us, to be understood by us, to sate our own curiosities. it's all really happening

please stop saying that airplanes can "fly". they are only exploiting aerodynamic regularities to produce flight-like behavior

It's a little hard to internalize that the list of things one person can achieve is rapidly growing. You must think big to match what you're truly capable of now

A subtle thing: the fear of AI creeps into, and has a mutually-reinforcing relationship with, the language we use to describe it. The word sense for "swarms" to describe multiagent systems, instead of "flocks" or any other more neutral collective, reflects a deep unease.

OpenAI's acquisition of @skybysoftware / @AriX has to be the single most underrated acquisition of this cycle... Codex is still *so* much better at computer use, and it might be the only frontier capability where the lead hasn't changed hands in the last ~6 months?

the ROOM phonebooth is the geography of nowhere, suburban strip mall of corporate america. a call taken from one of these looks exactly the same, no matter where you are. they could be anywhere, at any company, talking about any topic.

it is insane that downtown mill valley and sausalito are twenty minutes apart and anyone voluntarily chooses to visit sausalito 45 mins in sausalito: two separate fights over spots in ice cream lines, “i love sf” t-shirts imported from china, tourist purgatory 45 mins in mill valley: possibly the most beautiful library in america, adorable dogs, excellent iced coffee, redwood trails, 14 cute little shops engineered to drain your bank account
