I’m still amazed that the UFO/UAP story went from “crazies at Burning Man” to “Michio Kaku talking about it on NBC” in three years. Either it’s all bullshit and, in turn, one of the greatest psyops ever, or it’s true. Wild. m.youtube.com/watch?v=EZKQGzIddM4

> old users Apps still young; you’re not going to see the concept of an “old user” for another 2-3 years. Today was also amplified by a service outage elsewhere. I assume Twitter gets more traffic when IG is down? Someone former Twitter would know.

NYC feels like a swamp right now. I don’t want five days of rain, I want one giant line of storms to come through and cleanse the place.

AI is a bubble; it’s no different from self-driving. 80% of the time, it works fine, and the other 20%, if you don’t intervene, you’re screwed. Models have peaked at “entry-level intern,” and it’ll take decades to go beyond that.

twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1665… The current AI cycle peaks when folks run ChatGPT equivalent models on their laptop for free. The gap between “entry-level assistant” and “AGI” is vast, like lane correction vs. full self-driving.

Twitter's noncompliance with a “voluntary” measure might be the first brick to fall. At best, they can ban Elon from the EU. The EU fundamentally doesn’t have the leverage necessary for universal jurisdiction.

AI will upset this election cycle in the same way social media upset previous cycles. There’s no stopping it. You either play the game or risk appeal if you don’t have a good comeback. Game on.

At first, when the official inflation print goes below 3%, it will be celebrated, recession averted! Then when we drop into deflation, that too will be celebrated. “Deflation is transitory, necessary after all this inflation.” But what happens if it keeps going?

There’s a phenomenon where someone is up high, and they’re worried they may jump. They are not suicidal, they’re in control, but they don’t want to get close to the edge. Sometimes I look at the post button and think, “Wow, one too spicy banger, and it‘s over”?

The left side of your brain says the G-Wiz is logical and efficient. The right side of your brain says the Bentley is comfortable and luxurious. The human condition is a perpetual battle between these two voices within us.

While every city will have a wave of CMBS defaults, NYC is among the best positioned to come out—a mix of desirability and commercial property that can be converted into housing (along with lax laws on what can be an apartment) We’re so back
