This attempted coup in 2016 in Turkey was so much more exciting than the Martial law that happened recently in SK. I remember being in a WhatsApp group with some Turkish friends living in Istanbul and they were giving me the play by play Though it made me think, in this day and age where information is so instantaneous how do you pull off a coup? I think the old way of doing it through the military is impossible; because news travels so fast So in order to pull or asymmetrical warfare in this day and age in a physical manner really seems difficult. Comparatively, this feels like the golden age for misinformation and information dissemination of fake news etc - you want to convince the public that the best course or action is a coup and make them do it. The closest that comes to mind is Jan 6 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Turkish_coup_attempt

This isn't just a case of chatgpt's naming, but I am not a fan of this simplification of everything / make everything simple It feels tasteless, it makes things taste tasteless or odorless, like i'm eating slop. It slightly feels insulting to me as well, somehow there is an undertone of treating everyone as being stupid, they just won't get it. I don't know, there's a part of me that feels like the uniqueness and character of a product is destroyed so early in the process. I prefer chatgpt chatgpt > chat

I do lament the destruction of manufacturing, or at the very least the lack of innovation and investment in manufacturing in the United States in the recent past. A lot of it has to do with because labor has become so expensive. There is a ofc - a future where robotics, and embodied AI helps with manufacturing and increased abundant production at lower costs (a story for another time); but the reality is it’s not going to happen immediately, or at least let’s say in the next 3-5 years. But I think one of the main reasons is businesses in general have prioritized gains (because of the way the public equities and returns work) in focusing on gutting manufacturing (i.e. business that can be done for cheaper somewhere else) overseas for the past 2~3 decades is because multiples on software, financial engineering and knowledge work in general have better returns investment wise, so these underlying businesses have been generally cut or just go unsupported or over regulated (or regulatory captured)

Was thinking about Steve Ells and his story of how he got started: Steve Ells used to be a Michelin star chef at Star in San Francisco in the 90s - and then he moved back to Denver. He wanted to open a high dining / Michelin star concept restaurant in Denver, but he doesn’t have the cash. So he decides to do a SF mission style fast dining burrito place, and it blows up. It blows up so much it takes up his whole life - the burrito place was called Chipotle
