the grok + tesla integration is actually super elegant. it’s the cleanest preview right now of how humans will move through the world with ai. i.e. llms for cognition + autonomy & self driving for locomotion. once thinking & motion collapse into one loop navigation sorta simply becomes intent. i can’t wait to use this in my tesla.

zohran mamdani gave out $35 per hour to shovel snow to any person, so naturally each side walk intersection is now being shoveled by like 7 ppl. this is exactly how the government operates: without thinking about any second order affects & also because spending other ppl’s money (tax) is super duper easy. show me the incentives & i will show you the outcome.

i love nature docs & i recently came across one that hit me super hard. turns out the labords chameleon’s life cycle is extremely short. they live only 4-5 months & immediately die after laying & burying their eggs (which is their only purpose)z in the final moments their nervous system begins to fail as their brain loses control of skin cells, so random nerve firings cause the skin to randomly change colors which causes a ridiculous art as they slowly die. it’s like sort of a visualization of the brain’s final flickerings. pristine example of nature’s beauty, tragedy, & brutality at the same time.

excited to share what we have been up to. your iphone’s home screen hasn’t changed in ~20 years. it’s the same static grid of icons since launch with zero awareness of your actual life. skye is a new agentic home screen for iphone. no telegram. no mac mini. & no claws required. skye is ambient intelligence that just works. it continuously listens to your context & acts on it. it builds your reading lists, gives you personalized weather, drafts email replies, prepares you for meetings & trips, flags suspicious charges, works through your reminders, tracks your health, & gives you one tap intel on wherever you are (restaurants, museums, neighborhoods, etc). all surfaced on your home screen. over the next few posts i’ll break down how it works, why we built it, & why we think it deserves to exist in the world. beta starts today. if you’re on the list, you’ll get access very soon. app store shortly after. deeply appreciate you all following along on this fun little journey. also please join our discord !

what adam neumann is doing now is such an obviously good idea. most of american life unless scheduled is super isolationist so you rarely get those spontaneous interactions with ppl.. this sorta flips that around right at the point of where ppl spend majority of their lives. anyway, it’s super duper interesting to see the wework model applied to residential.

if you’ve read my content, you know that i talk about aesthetic convergence a lot which i find truly fascinating. cuz wherever you go now you’ll notice tons of ppl look exactly the same (esp in dense places). the reason is pretty simple… you see the old world had local weirdness because taste formation had friction. you had to find the record store, the zine, the older cousin, the weird bar, the badly lit bookstore, or the regional scene. style was embedded in place & transmission was lossy. lossy transmission creates mutation. mutation creates subculture. the feed destroys that by making everything instantly accessible, comparable, rankable, & purchasable. by anyone. memeticism + algorithms are like steroids for human desire.. so now the moment some aesthetic emerges, it gets: seen → copied → named → packaged → linked → sold → exhausted. that cycle used to take years. now it takes days. sometimes hours. that’s why every subculture now feels stillborn. it gets merchandised before it gets a mythology. this has so many other downstream effects on almost the entire human desire set, like wanting only certain aesthetics of ppl (& now you see why dude looksmaxxxing is a thing too).

it’s fascinating how much modern internet driven capitalism turns everything into a slop bowl. starting with chipotle, through to infinite salad places, etc. if you think deeply it makes a ton of sense because the bowl is the perfect capitalist vessel.. it’s: - incredibly modular (swap proteins/bases, same labor flow) - easily swappable labor - optimized for throughput (assembly is linear, no plating skills required) - margin friendly (+ tons of room for upsells) - instagram native (overhead shot, radial food composition, screams “healthy”) this same dynamic is now proliferating across froyo which is effectively yet another sorta premium slop bowl (+ insane lines too boot) which also costs upwards of $15-20 per instance. pretty fascinating to see internet driven convergence of every dynamic.

apple should run this as an ad for the macbook neo lmao. i know it’s against their whole ethos but this is an incredible demonstration of how if you build a really high quality thoughtful product the users themselves will proliferate the message in highly creative ways without you ever having to say or do any real marketing (organic or paid). a lot of ppl forget this.

it’s absolutely unhinged that we’ve already reached the point where you can spin up a full episode of something like family guy or south park or futurama without writers, animators, voice actors, etc. just a simple prompt which will also be written by ai at some point. seasons of tv, generated on demand by users & ai. that’s the future staring us down. if you think about it broadly, this is basically the infinite scroll all over again but now it *produces* the content instead of fetching it. there is no supply side required. facebook spent all that time trying to get everyone to post content but that is no longer necessary. this is an existential development for… meta & possibly netflix & maybe even youtube.

people are overwhelmed by the infinite sprawl of internet content but what’s interesting is how that chaos breeds its own counterforces. little moments of clarity... like this girl breaking down the difference between how you think when you’re young vs when you’re older.. simple, sharp, & accurate. in a weird way, that’s how the internet self regulates. not through order, but through contrast. not through pure structure, but through occasional flashes of signal in the noise.

a long time ago facebook like in 2008 implemented a facebook app that translated the entire site into hundreds of languages by outsourcing the translation to its users. it instantly made the site accessible to every country. now meta ai can translate any video to any language & sync any mouth movements too. it looks insanely natural. holy shit. this makes content inventory on instagram & facebook infinitely scalable, global, & feel native. profound change for the supply side along with pure ai generated content too. content will be too cheap to produce & scale.

the idea of retirement is so bizarre to me. it assumes the goal of life is to exit effort & replace it with leisure, as if the brain doesn’t atrophy without any resistance. for most ppl work isn’t the problem.. it’s usually *meaningless* work. the greatest gift god can give you is the ability to build & be intellectually challenged until your last dying breath. that is a purpose led life.

i hate posting content like this but this fits within the zeitgeist (culture + tech) so it’s not off limits. the only question i have is why would you subject yourself to this type of a pain? i can’t imagine being on the other side of this & this is now happening at scale.

90s sitcoms worked because no one had a cell phone & uncertainty was a feature. people had to miss each other & they had to guess. also they had to commit to plans & live with the consequences. if you walked out the door, you were genuinely unreachable. i wish i could live this life sometimes.

it’s absolutely remarkable to hear jobs speak about artificial intelligence so early & so crisply in so many ways asking questions that are deeply ingrained into the zietgiest today nearly 45 years ago. these are the same questions keeping some ppl up at night & the entire society will now have to grapple with eventually.
