I've exited my naive techno-optimist era & I will unabashedly state we should shame this stuff. That's not how we should use AI: to further fry our brains & turn us into walking zombies. We should build *real* things & avoid these cursed use cases from the 2010s era.

Guys it is very important that you resist Vibes. Disable your parents’ phones if they tell you they’re using Vibes. Make fun of your friends relentlessly until they stop using Vibes. Fire employees caught watching Vibes. We’re better than this. Cmon.

Weird seeing people who are supposedly champions of startups and Little Tech cheer on the introduction of a $100k for H-1Bs given it’ll immediately be cost prohibitive for early-stage startups to hire from that very talented pool. Big Tech can absorb the fees, startups can’t.

If you're looking to breaking into investment finance industry (irrespective of what you studied), I'll HIGHLY recommend this. Apply for the Afrinvest (West Africa) Limited Analyst Program. Look at the flier to see if you qualify and then apply.

Any large digital news publication could have built a Substack as an extension of their CMS. It would have transformed the existing guest publishing system, encouraged user-generated content and created network effects. But media companies don't think about stuff like this. 🫠
