You dont have to stop at corn dogs, you know? Jam a stick up a pizza's ass and dip it in batter if you want. Make corn burgers. Corn burritos. Corn ham. No one can stop you. Not even God!

I just wanna triple down on saying: push to create environments in your work where people feel okay saying "I don't know" or "I'm not aware of [...]"
So much time is wasted on egos and optics to know everything that could otherwise be used to identify gaps and next steps.
Get out of that trap.

As someone smarter than me said, there are two takes on Elon Musk: one is that he's Henry Ford, and the other is that he's Henry Ford.
It just depends on what you actually know about Henry Ford.

Yep. I think a lot about "pinch" the concept I first learned from mobile game design that by making something inconvenient, you can charge people to make that inconvenience go away. And once you learn to spot pinch in all aspects of society, you can't unsee it.
Nothing works. Airlines. Making movies. College. Retirement. Mass transit. Medicine. Housing.
Everything is a scam, or on its way to becoming a scam.
Nothing works and it’s all by design, because every hitch in the process is another way for the rich to make more money.

When people are nostalgic about Ye Olde Internette and wonder why we can't recapture that, this is why: the old internet was atomized **and that was good, actually**. But no one's gonna become a billionaire off of 3 million different self-hosted niche interest phpBB sites so here we are.
This is good, but just slightly misses the point — we don’t just have to kill the idea of the “one killer app” everyone uses for community online. It’s recognizing that we’ve *always* been using _lots_ of sites & apps. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/we-dont-need-a-new-twitter

I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that
Unfortunately, it repeatedly offers incorrect answers for straightforward math questions. 🧪

Even after more than a decade of Uber, people don’t seem to get that the venture capitalists only subsidize the “disruptive” tech long enough to throw the displaced workers into permanent precarity, then they raise prices after destroying the overall market. Cab driver suicides are the strategy.
