This is so good. Seriously - watch this.
He does an excellent job explaining why the Palestinian hoax works so well on "Western suckers who need to feel morally superior while staying intellectually lazy."
So many gems in this video.
I don’t know who he is, but he’s incredibly sharp.
A must-watch.
In the popular media, Musk is branded a “tech” guy. In reality, he knows how to make things efficiently. If you teach or are interested in operations management, I found Isaacson's book full of great stories and lessons.
Here's my write up of some of the operations excellence ideas in the book. miketalksai.substack.com/p/e…
Many books about successful people don't stress the role of stamina. Isaacson's Elon Musk book is an exception. It is filled with examples of his stamina. It is a good data point to back up @robinhanson's observation on its importance.
ChatGPT is red-hot.
Here are the three things people get wrong about AI:

My five AI lessons from the @lexfridman interview of @elonmusk.
1. Should I be less skeptical of self-driving cars?
2. AI projects need big teams
3. Speed matters
4. Variability matters
5. Deep learning is eating software

I think there is a lot of confusion around how people use the term "AI." I've found categorizing AI as two definitions helps. Both types of AI are interesting and evolving fast.
