Someone who can predict what society will look like in 50 years, and behave like that now, will have immense leverage.

Anytime someone takes a picture/video that I happen to be in the background of I like to wave at the AGI that sees me 30 years from now

We need to remove EVERYTHING possible which blocks or hinders the technological advancement of the human race. This could literally be the difference between you living forever or to ~90 like a normie.

Up to a certain point, having a good landing page was high-signal. But post-AI, it just makes a product look generic. Over the next few years, we'll see products transition to just the thing itself. You go to the site, and there's no bullshit or slop, just the thing lol

Crazy how much progress we've made in only ~100 or so years. The next 100 will take us to immortality.

In the past, power was valuable, but you had to convert it into currency before you could spend it on intelligence. This is no longer true, and increasingly so with each passing day. Power is growing in demand, and becoming more valuable.

Funny how the lowest -x engineers often have the most expensive macbooks. Reminds me of the expression "300 dollar shoes and a 10-cent squat".

Healthcare should be mostly automated. Imagine, diagnostic tests (bloodwork and such) issued on a regular schedule every year. AI automatically reviews and provides follow-up tests and/or prescriptions. Human doctors are only looped in for exceptionally niche or complex cases.

One of the first questions I've always asked myself is: "Does losing this bet mean I can't continue playing the game?" Usually, if the worst-case scenario is total wipeout, it's a bad risk to take.

Making slides manually feels especially painful now that you know Cursor for slides should exist but doesn’t.

the discovery of neurotrasmitters may be the single most disillusioning result of science, when we lost all confidence in the integrity of our emotions and perceptions
