and they're all going to get dragged into a global financial crisis because half this country wanted chaos and retribution

a concern I have about privacy protocols is they enable this type of thing - anonymous payouts for surveillance of your neighbors

like ring on steroids

Founders

has any pitch that's started with "Industry X is broken, here's how we're going to fix it" actually landed?

too many ai / agentic products are solving the wrong problem, there's too much skeuomorphism

ai agents don't need tickets in linear or to be present in meetings

we can skip all the steps we added over the last century to manufacture meaning in the workplace

reject and rebuild

financial markets are a lot more interesting if you think of them as MMORPGs

Remember the switch from printed out Mapquest directions to GPS and navigation? It’s kind of like that. 

Works with any digital recipe. Just drop in the url, put your phone away, and start cooking.

the trump economy is predictably a complete disaster, entirely self-inflicted

the US standing in the world is totally trashed

is this the american dynamism that marc andreesen and brian armstrong wanted?

Intel sharing costs zero. 

The richest country on the planet should have a conscious and have a heart, not be governed by their most disgraceful and shameful instincts.

Ukraine is in the wrong lol? They got invaded by Russia. Fuck off already. Go back to twitter with all the other Russian trolls.
