“When Elon Musk or Sam Altman... makes a bold promise and it doesn’t come true, they don’t have to give the money back.” It was an honor and a blast to talk to Dave. He says so many smart things, and I saved most of my babbling to the end. Let me know what you think!

This is a wild Slack message to see from a coworker as we all head to a European event this week. Officially living in dystopia now. “If anyone is flying through Munich today, heads up it’s a mess - drones were spotted over the airport so all flights was halted for 1.5 hours.”

A few years ago I bought a Westinghouse 1701 air purifier that advertised medical-grade air purification and particulate eradication. It worked for about a year. Then one day it powered on but the fan/blower wouldn’t work. I stashed it in the closet to figure out at a later time.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

A nerdy thing to focus on but in addition to the Bad Bunny performance being incredible both musically and visually, it was the best halftime performance aurally and sonically, in perfectly mixed Atmos surround sound. Really amazing!

When people are mean to you, remember the universal truth that it comes from their own fears, not from a deficiency in you. So don’t react. Chin up. Wait for the reality of their own internal conflict to take care of it.
