Okay. I’ll take the bait. I went to work for Peter in 2013 with opposite politics. He sat me down right at the beginning. PETER: “I don’t want the (Thiel) Foundation to do good that the market can do. That is the job of the market. Likewise, I don’t want to do the good work that is seen as good. That work can be done by people richer, weaker and more needy of approval than we are. I want us to do only the work that is *deeply* good but somehow confused for being evil, because that is the work of the courageous and the strong. We strive to be both and that is where a small foundation can make the greatest positive difference. Go look for such good and let’s do that. But remember. Good has TWO different antonyms. What is “bad work”? It could be seen as shoddy work. Or it could be seen as evil work. And we can’t do shoddy work. Why? Because evil that isn’t competent never gets to be evil. It’s just pathetic. So we have to be exceptionally competent at the good work which we do to make sure it is always confused for evil.” I thought it totally logical. So that’s the argument. And that’s classic Peter. This is an old idea of his. And now you know.
Pls give me a context this could have been taken out of.

Wonder how much hydro and REE Greenland has to support the US demand for Data Centers there?
I don't give a F*CK if you have $1,000, $10,000, or even $100,000 in your portfolio, SPACE stocks are going to make people generational WEALTH this year. Here are 5 stocks with 10x potential: 1. $SPCX

Eating real food is going to be the weirdest “affordability problem”. Steeped Earl Grey tea heated over a flame will somehow be noticeably different than the atomic structure, produced for you by the AI/unknown/gods in the moment.

Define God, however, you want, but if putting anything before God is a sin (bad aim), the what happens when essentially everybody puts everything above God? Genuinely curious. Any takers?

“I don’t want my comfort to come at his expense.” -Gold This is also slack that will be given to Tesla (at least in the early days) It’s easy reciprocity today and it’s also just easier to let my driver control my experience. Tesla will likely evolve quickly around this fact. Your riding preferences will soon be remembered ride to ride. Why log in fresh each time? My token will just pass from my phone to whichever bot rolls up. Your superGrok account will burn more IO as well so your bandwidth will potentially get passed through as an add on if you’re burning some serious tokens at some point. After all it runs on 2 limiting factors. KW+Compute.
After experiencing Cybercab for the past few days in Austin, I think the biggest thing people are missing is the zero-sum game built into Uber. You have two people sharing one environment, with different preferences. The driver likes the temperature at 66. I want 72. If I get more comfortable, he gets less comfortable. He likes his music. I want mine. He wants the windows open. I want them closed. I take a few extra minutes getting to the car, and those are minutes another human spends waiting for me. There’s this constant little tug of war. My comfort and convenience can come at the expense of his. And I don’t blame the driver. It’s his working environment. He’s in that car all day. Of course he has preferences. That’s why I just let him play whatever music he wants. I don’t want my comfort to come at his expense. We’ve gotten so accustomed to this that we barely notice the tension anymore. Then you take a Cybercab. I set the temperature to 72. Nobody gets less comfortable. I play my Spotify at the volume I want. Nobody has to give up their music. I grab my Starbucks and take a couple of minutes to walk over, within the pickup window. Nobody is sitting there getting irritated with me. The car has no competing preferences. That is a profound change in the experience. I can optimize the ride around what makes me comfortable without asking another person to sacrifice what makes them comfortable. And you feel it. You get in, lean back, and relax. There’s no negotiation. No wondering whether your request is going to annoy someone. That whole layer of social tension disappears. I think this is a huge part of Cybercab’s value. Removing that zero-sum dynamic changes what the service feels like at its core. Once people experience that, I think a lot of them are going to have a very hard time going back to Uber.

The real question is whether the AIs will then invent new theorems faster than we can formalize the old ones.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ And if they do will humans be able to understand them?

The fact that the narrative went from “Teslas can’t even drive themselves” to “well, they have a supervisor” to “well, they have steering wheels” to “well, sure, they don’t have steering wheels, but there are only a few dozen Cybercabs” just shows how fleeting these criticisms are as Tesla continues to knock them down one by one. Tesla unveiled the Cybercab just 23 months ago and is going to start the first public rides in this thing in less than 3 days - something a lot of people said would never happen. Cybercab will be a game changer in many ways, but especially for people with disabilities. It has Braille throughout the car, a seat height that matches that of a wheelchair, multiple grab points, and enough space around your legs to store a wheelchair or accommodate a large service dog. I don't know how anyone could root against this vehicle.

Time to put the screens down and touch some REAL grass… maybe even broadleaf 😬😂
A biological server rack is now online for the first time. About 16 million living human neurons sit inside it. They process data and point toward a form of artificial intelligence that uses far less electricity than today’s chips. Researchers at the National University of Singapore built the rack with Cortical Labs and DayOne. It holds 20 CL1 units. Stem-cell neurons grow on silicon chips lined with microelectrodes. The setup does not need a conventional wet lab. Electrical pulses link the cells to ordinary software. The network can change and organize itself, which is why the team describes it as synthetic biological intelligence rather than a standard silicon model. Life support keeps the cells working. Pumps and controls manage heat, fluids, and food. The neurons are expected to last about six months. Power is the headline number. One CL1 unit, including that life support, uses about 30 watts. A top Nvidia H100 GPU can take 700 watts or more. No one claims this rack will replace silicon. The aim is a cheap, low-power option for jobs such as drug screening, spotting fraud, and teaching robots to adapt.

Here we go!
Starbase Louisiana will ultimately have over a dozen launch towers, enabling more than 30 Starship flights per day and making it the biggest launch site on Earth! SpaceX makes sci-fi real.

The best part about User Research is studying the business model from the perspective of each user of an ecosystem. Even a two sided platform brings wild black swan type insights about what each party thinks they want and what they actually need. In most cases “users” don’t know that their dopamine is being bought on sold. Hell, most buyers and sellers don’t know what they’re buying. 😆
