We've reflexively copied traditional democratic voting into token governance. But that might have been a big mistake. A better option may be Sortition. 🧵...

It's magical thinking to believe we have something in our brains that AI can't replicate

We've told ourselves stories that didn't revolve around jobs for thousands of years. We can go back to any story want.

Right now, LLMs are trained on the Internet, but they are not trained on my inbox or history or my relationships. Those are the things that give humans the advantage to do things that LLMs can't do right now.

Getting off the ground is really cheap now. That's super clear to everyone. But a lot of startups that have scaled successfully in the last two years have felt like they need to out-raise and out-hire the people who are also going to move fast.

As a companion to trying to understand something new and complicated, a chatbot is remarkably effective. If you're trying to learn anything hard, doing it without this at your fingertips is essentially wasting time.

Medical expertise already lives in all our pockets. We have better diagnostics that you can use at home. We're just going to see more movement toward that direction. The operating room is probably the last thing to be disrupted—the robot surgeon that you just have in the closet to take out when something breaks seems a little far off. But that's the trend we're investing in.

There are these inefficient twentieth century institutions that we built in response to particular circumstances. The electrical grid is one example - a peculiar public-private arrangement that regularly fails yet remains our primary solution. Another is our healthcare system with its convoluted mixture of state and private insurance tied to employment, where no stakeholder has proper incentives for optimal functioning. An abundance of localized energy generation will obviate our dependence the grid, just as an abundance of self-directed care will make our centralized healthcare institutions obsolete. These seemingly separate issues are fundamentally connected. The solution isn't marginally reallocating existing resources, but rather coordinating with new technologies to expand the resources themselves. Believing in a future of abundance.

So many aspects of life are drastically improved when you can ask infinite questions without consequence.
