If you use AI regularly, I do think you owe it to yourself to occasionally try to do things without AI to make sure you still know how to do them. And to spend time reading and exercising your brain so you don’t forget how to think without these tools

Back in June, I came across a fundraising professional on LinkedIn by happenstance. Already being deep in fundraising text fatigue, I said something in a message to the same effect and got no response

I think they should say to rich newcomers "put up or shut up" in terms of what they get out of the deal For anti-gentrification locals, nimbyism as a opening gambit makes a lot of sense I don't think there's any fighting economics and rich people are going to live where they want to live

"Rather than suppressing or destroying the dangerous proclivities of the human heart, the leading thinkers of the age of enlightened commerce seized upon the idea of ‘‘harnessing the passions’’ of the most outstanding members of society for the benefit of mankind." This was so interesting to read

This kind might side with city folk values in the rooms they're actually in where "elites" have the majority But then when they consider themselves in the context of their country, they see the imagined herrenvolk majority as the sovereign

I wonder if being a might makes right person deep down causes a type of intellectual insecurity where you want to recruit and imaginary horde who sides with you If you're successful, you feel a kind of herd safety But if you don't see evidence your tribe is in power you feel a pull to defect

way to go, you fucking morons. I hope you're happy with how things are going

Going beyond the necessary cost cutting, tech’s newly radicalized billionaires used this moment to wage class war and enforce discipline on what they saw as an unruly workforce. Gone were the days of coddling tech workers and viewing them as the industry’s most valuable assets. Instead, the progressivism and idealism that had come, in part, from the techno-utopianism of the 2000s and 2010s was now seen by Silicon Valley’s executives and investors as an explicit threat. And so, these billionaires set their sights on winning the culture war and dismantling the left-liberal foundations they believed had turned their own workers against them. To do so, and to avoid another bout of Biden-esque regulation, they threw in their support with Trump, laying the foundations of what would soon be known as the tech oligarchy—a power bloc uniting capital and politics under a shared project of restoring control.
