I can tell you right now that if I had 100 million bucks from football you'd never see me again. I'm not doing a podcast called, like "Grid of One" or something. I'm in an A-Frame cabin, learning to carve.

It's interesting there's a broad swath of people very cautious about AI (anything AI is slop) but extremely aggressive on very new body modifications (new ways of using botox, GLP-1s, etc).

I think some of the vibecoding critiques (spaghetti code) are a little like my critiques of bad bezier curves or weird anchor point choices in animation — important to a very small group of experts, but invisible to the public (and in the case of coding, often more invisible than bad motion).

Devil Wears Prada seems like a clear case for one of those clever sequelizations, like "The Devil Still Wears Prada." Somehow, people are so dumb now that even middle brow movies can't take that risk.

I still hate "short form" but there is probably something healthy about cutting a 40 minute interview to 6 minutes...and now to 3. Like a juice cleanse.

Something tricky is that the vast majority of people don't care at all about sourcing or reporting. This used to be regulated by company mores/litigation fears, but now it's largely just individual values.
