I've been avoiding using Claude this entire time bc Anthropic might as well have named themselves "Definitely Not Skynet" and I would've at least been disarmed by a little dark humor
It is noticeably faster on some tasks using identical prompts, could be context overhead tho
How much do you trust yourself? And how willing are you to exhaust every possible option while still accepting you might discover you're wrong.
The real art is separating yourself from the objective and doing whats required. Not what you want/wish was true.
Just, what is.
Made the mistake of trying to engage on FB again recently. Almost always leaves me genuinely neurotic and paranoid for at least the day, usually a few
Five minutes on X and I'm inspired to tackle projects with a clarity equivalent to hunger and the pursuit of food
Easy choice
I may have trained it to be a little too candid... But at least I know my eternal subjugation will be light-hearted, entertaining, and drenched in vague pop culture + historical cosplay mashups 馃檭
I pity the fool who exalts a less comprehensive work type definition system
"Building economic infrastructure for the internet and building economic infrastructure for AI are essentially the same thing." ~ @stripe
i.e. Intelligence is capital. It's value can be determined on an open market And, there is no ceiling to how much it can be compounded. 馃馃搱
Never trust a founder who doesn't get the crazy eyes when they pitch 馃槄馃し
Most startups fail bc most people give up before failing enough to become unstoppable. Only way to constructively endure that much failure emotionally is deep unwaivering passion, aka the crazy eyes 馃憖
I used to joke in grad school that "I'm on every list" big brother has bc of the confluence of my personal and professional activities going all the back to high school.
I no longer think it's a joke the probability of my reality = Ice Cube in War of the Worlds 2 level GTFO 馃し馃挴
Both my biggest strength, but also my biggest weakness, is that I refuse to remain stagnant when facing diminishing returns.
It leads to people thinking I'm afraid to "do the reps" and deeply specialize. Hardly the case, I just don't show that part bc it's boring & incompetent.
I hate not being good at whatever it is I'm doing. It's a mix of being hyper-competitive + obsessively focused on the non-fungible nature of time.
I'm also not afraid to be an ignorant & incompetent noob, temporarily.
The first emotion compresses the duration of the second.
I think I was the sole witness to a stranger violently ending their life last night. Yes, I called 911 immediately but that moment will be etched in my mind forever. Writing about it, even this short post, is helping disrupt some of the ruminating.
Be ruthless(ly compassionate).
Having spent my 20's earning a PhD, then 5+ years after bootstrapping a biotech startup through sheer grit & determination - I've been asked many times "what would I want to do if I could do anything else?"
Music. My main hobby since 2nd grade
And, it might finally be time 馃幎
People who use delivery services but don't include a tip are gross and surprisingly common
It's particularly garbage for services that require shopping orders in-store on behalf of customers (e.g. @DoorDash, @Instacart, etc)
Reimagine the classic first date scenario where one of the daters dehumanizes & patronizes the restaurant staff. But now, instead of the other person being repulsed, they call it out and join in gleefully. This dystopia is actually real life for some ppl now. Who are we?
