The lesson of Fox News, podcast bros and right wing influencers is that people would rather be enraged than informed. The internet is wasted on so many.

The problem with leftists always complaining about billionaires is that Americans don’t hate rich people, they hate poor people. Look no further than the “Big Beautiful Bill” which cuts taxes on the rich while cutting benefits to the poor without major outcry. Hating rich people isn’t American.

90% of decisions don’t matter. This is important to keep in mind as you take strong stances on particular topics at work. You have to ask yourself; How important is this decision? What is the cost of a wrong decision? How reversible it is? This introspection saves a lot of wasted time and energy.

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

Violence must stop, and we need to keep the focus on protecting fundamental rights. There is nothing President Trump would like more than a violent confrontation with protestors to justify the unjustifiable — invocation of the Insurrection Act or some form of martial law.

some interesting historical context re: stories of "chatGPT-induced psychosis" is that when the radio and telephone were invented, there were similar reactions — some people believed they could tune their radio to the frequencies of heaven or received instructions from the dead via the telephone

The discourse around white privilege in the 2010s while well intentioned did lasting damage to the cultural fabric of America. It subtly changed the public & policy dialog about race from racism is bad to white people are bad. Someone like Trump rising to power was inevitable once this happened.

the way the early social web emphasized friending as many people as possible has lead to this weird state of zombie acquaintanceship where I still get a glimpse into the life of some guy who lived in my dorm freshman year purely through the notification I receive whenever he launches a game on steam

I love these silicon valley bros that think ChatGPT has achieved some kind of sentience and therefore might have rights. Like dudes, you don't even think poor people deserve rights, let's try to achieve that before giving person-hood to the autocomplete algorithm.

There’s a growing backlash against dating apps. I believe they have two challenges • Their business models (subscriptions, paying for visibility) clash with helping people find real relationships. • Matches follow a power law. These aren’t bugs you can tweak away, they’re fundamental flaws.

Founder of an AI-powered shopping startup, Nate, has been charged with fraud by the DOJ. It turns out the AI was just poorly paid workers in the Philippines and Romania. I doubt this is the only startup whose “AI” is actually a poorly paid human in the loop.

I guess a lot of niche apps will take place of the generic dating apps. People will find other people through shared interests. Like there is an app in India which matches people based on the memes they post on the platform. I am sure people are even meeting through strava and apps like these

Botnets have started to sell GitHub stars from fake accounts for as low as 10 cents a star which are then used to make malware projects seem legitimate. Is nothing sacred on the internet? Now we can’t even trust Github starts.

man I really don't know how to reconcile the fact that a large % of voters literally lack object permanence with the fact that society basically functions day to day. How can a significant fraction of the country have sub-3rd-grade reasoning skills without everything falling apart?

We probably don’t need to have this conversation but, “the biggest reason humans have such a large impact on the environment is that we want to provide a high standard of living for a very large population of people” is very different from “I want human population to crash.”

Klarna halted hiring a year ago to replace workers with AI, cutting its workforce by 22% to 3,500. A Duke sophomore I know with a 3.96 GPA can’t find an internship, and Amazon rescinded another student’s offer months later. Capitalism’s endgame seems aimed at fully eliminating labor as we know it

I’m struck by how American society has grown both more progressive and more right-wing. Gay marriage is legal and Fortune 500 companies support trans rights, yet billionaires openly back N*zis and states ban books on issues like systemic racism and LGBTQ themes. Progress isn’t a straight line.
