Lick the AI boot or get left behind. What if left behind is better. Creating things with hands and nature, having private memories and thoughts, being a human, not a hybrid mixture of human and tech.

The truth is bitter, he's telling the truth. I am not aware of his mindset in terms of "humanity" but he's telling a part of the truth. IMO he's being very generous or naive when it comes to AI.

Mikel Arteta’s beautiful praise to his staff and players. “That's when you have a difficult period. I think the best thing that you can do instead of talk a lot is observe. Look around you and see how people react. How they talk, how they look at you, how they judge you, what they do. Do they look at themselves, do they start to criticise other people? “Look around and you're going to learn the environment and the people that you have around you. “I cannot be prouder to work in a club with people that the only thing they could do is ask, what else can I do to help? “When you have people like this, I don't know if it's gonna take another week or two, but something good it will happen at the end because we deserve it.”

.Joel Hellermark: If you could have a billion Deutsch-level intelligences, wouldn't that be a massive advantage for humanity? David Deutsch: I think having two might be an advantage. I mean, people, there's the law of comparative advantage says that the more different you are from other people, the more valuable you are economically. That suggests that if you have an exact clone of you, you're almost not at all more economically valuable than just one of you. You know, you'll be competing with each other for the same job. You wanted a unique job, your perfect dream job, and now it's the perfect dream job of a billion other AGIs, you know, in your conception. I don't think it can be like that. People are valuable because they are different. Everybody is unfathomably different from everyone else. That fact is not being harnessed enough and can be harnessed more.

Jordan Peterson: "If you're competent and silent you will be ignored." "You might think well people should reward you because you're competent. And yes of course they should. But if you're competent and silent then you're just part of the background that's keeping everything functioning" On why you cannot negotiate from a position of weakness: "If you want to push your career forward you have to push it forward. You have to be competent and you have to be strategic" "To be strategic when you negotiate for a new position or a new salary you have to be able to say if you don't give me what I want then something you don't like will happen to you" "It's not a physical threat. It's that you have an option" "You have your CV in order. You're educated and competent and desirable to people outside of your immediate job. You're willing to instantly put yourself on the job market" "So that when you go talk to the person you're negotiating with you're credible" On the one thing most people completely miss about negotiation: "It's very seldom that you're talking to the person who's at the top of the pecking order. What you need to do is tell them a story that they can tell to their boss to make you not a problem" "A good story is look we really need this person because they're hyper competent and they have a better offer" "If you go in there with no power you're going to lose. Obviously" He concludes with the one thing every competent person needs to hear: "The first thing you need to know if you're going to negotiate is that you have to be able to say no. And what no means is that you're not going to do it"

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on Why Modern Progressivism is Broken Chamath: “Alex, what did you mean earlier when you said progressives want you to be poor? I may be paraphrasing.” Alex Karp: ”The modern progressive movement is clearly not progressive.” “Progressive is defined by the working class do better tomorrow than they did today and know it.” “To do that, you need things that you can do at scale now. Vocational training on AI-based systems, making our laborers more valuable. Obviously closing the border so that you don't reduce the amount that you pay people, and also eviscerate legal protections. This is not progressive.” “It's not progressive, by the way, to have so little competence or willing to use force that we get overrun by drugs.” “Who do those drugs go to? Disproportionately poor people of color.” “It's not progressive to have crime rates… you know, to be a war zone, you have to have five deaths per 100,000. That's like half our cities. How is that progressive?” “You mean you care about poor people so much, you're just gonna let them kill each other?”

Elon Musk on where people should invest: "I don't really buy stocks. I don't look for things to invest in. I just try to build things and then there happens to be stock of the company that I built, but I don't have like a portfolio or anything; Google is gonna be pretty valuable in the future. They've laid the ground work for an immense amount of value creation from an AI standpoint. Nvidia is obvious at this point. There's an argument that companies that do AI and robotics, and maybe spaceflight, are going to be overwhelmingly almost all of the value."

Baseten Head of AI Model Training Charlie O'Neill says the future is many specialized LLMs dedicated to specific tasks, with bigger labs deployed on the frontiers of areas like science and math: "People are thinking about intelligence capabilities in the wrong way. People are thinking about intelligence relativistically. They say, 'OK, the open-source gap is like 6 months behind closed-source, and GLM 5.3 is as good as Opus 4.8,' or whatever." "The best way to think about what models can do for you, and for the world, is in an absolute sense." "So for any given task that you want to do with an LLM, there's some intelligence threshold where below that you can't do the task, and above that you have very diminishing returns to more intelligence on the task." "So when you think about it that way, the game of LLMs over the last 5 years has been, 'OK, we have these things we want to do with them. Closed source hits it first... but open-source can eventually do that task. And then for many reasons, once you have the base level of intelligence required to do it, you probably do want to swap to open-source." "It's not really about the [frontier lab] God model being better. Like, if I'm filing a tax return, there is a limit to how much intelligence I need to do that particular thing." "So I think the world is going to look like — frontier closed-source labs are going to continue to push the frontier. You do want to use the most intelligent model. You have very inelastic demand for intelligence when you're doing frontier science or frontier math." "But for a lot of the economically valuable things, it looks a lot like, 'I'm a Cursor, or I'm one of these big companies who are realizing I can't just be a wrapper anymore. I've been through the life cycle of building a product that people love. And I should be using that information to make my model better at the things that I care about, and not at anything else.'"

Sequoia partner Pat Grady says software is shifting from apps that demand attention to agents that work quietly in the background. This shift will change what moats will look like, and will be especially hard for incumbents to deal with. "It's two very different business paradigms," he says. "In an era of apps, you want a lot of surface area with your customers, you want them to spend a lot of time in your product." "In an era of agents, things can just be running passively in the background. The amount of surface area you have with your customers, the amount of time they might spend in your product might be de minimis. So the nature of the moat that you [will need to build] is different." "I think we'll see a lot of companies in the coming years able to live in the software world and have some of the workflows people are accustomed to. And then separately they can deploy these passive agents that kind of function as coworkers who just come back to you when things are done." From his appearance on the show in January.

There are many troubles in the world, of course, and these are important, and we need to solve them. But we also need things that make us excited to be alive, that make us glad to wake up in the morning and be fired up about the future and think the future is going to be great. Space exploration is one of those things. Becoming a space-faring civilization, being out there among the stars, this is one of the things that I know makes me glad to be alive.

.travis kalanick says building a company in stealth creates a culture of builders: "You build a culture of people that want to build and do not need to be famous when they do it, which basically means - emotional intelligence." It's human nature to want to be acknowledged for the things you do. You'd like the things you build to be seen and for somebody to know that you did it. When you cut against that core of human nature, you wind up with a very high EQ culture. "But - you have to go the extra mile to recruit, the extra mile in sales, etc."

But there's a couple of things you have to be able to accomplish. Rule number one, find something you can be good at and then be great at it." "Second, you have to know how to sell. Whatever it is you're good at, somebody's going to need that service. Someone's going to need that, whatever it is that you're creating. But you have to be able to sell because you don't want to be in a position where you're dependent on other people." "Number three, be curious and always be learning. Because the one thing that's certain about business is that it changes every single day." "And then the fourth thing, when you have that knowledge, when you have that ability to sell,"

Elon Musk: As we advance the Neuralink devices, you should be able to actually have full body control and sensors from an Optimus robot So you could basically inhibit an Optimus robot. It's not just the hand, but the whole thing. So you could like basically mentally remote into an Optimus robot and be kind of cool. The future is gonna be weird, but pretty cool And then another thing that could be done also is like for people that have say lost a limb, lost an arm or leg or something like that, then we think in the future we'll be able to attach an Optimus arm or legs and so you kind of like I remember that scene from a Star Wars where Luke Skywalker gets his hand, you know, chopped off with a lightsaber and he gets kind of a robot hand And I think that's the kind of thing that we'll be able to do in the future working with Neuralink and Tesla. So it goes far beyond just operating a robot hand, but replacing limbs and having kind of a whole body robot experience. And then I think another thing that will be possible like I think it's very likely in the future is to be able to bridge the where the damaged neurons So you can take the signal from the brain and and transmit that signal past where the neurons are damaged or strained to the rest of the body, so you could reanimate the body. So that if you have a Neuralink implant in the brain and then one in the spinal cord, then you can actually bridge the signals and you could walk again and have full body functionality Obviously that's what people would prefer. To be clear, we realize that would be the preferred outcome. And so that even if you have a broken neck, you could still we believe I'm actually at this point I'd say fairly confident that at some point in the future we'll be able to restore full body functionality

I think they're going to be really rich user interfaces." "Imagine using iMessage to do everything, when in fact every other app has a unique interface." "With e-commerce, you want a very rich user interface. It would be agentic. You can have a conversation with it, but the point is that it has to be more visual."

Sequoia partner Pat Grady says software is shifting from apps that demand attention to agents that work quietly in the background. This shift will change what moats will look like, and will be especially hard for incumbents to deal with. "It's two very different business paradigms," he says. "In an era of apps, you want a lot of surface area with your customers, you want them to spend a lot of time in your product." "In an era of agents, things can just be running passively in the background. The amount of surface area you have with your customers, the amount of time they might spend in your product might be de minimis. So the nature of the moat that you [will need to build] is different." "I think we'll see a lot of companies in the coming years able to live in the software world and have some of the workflows people are accustomed to. And then separately they can deploy these passive agents that kind of function as coworkers who just come back to you when things are done."

Sam Altman's new interview: AI should not be designed to pursue goals that are disconnected from human needs. People must remain at the center of AI development. “I have no interest in building a super-smart AI that accomplishes some non-human goals. People should react. People should say, ‘Hey, this is what I want, and this is what I do not want.’ I do not think the issue is that we have failed to explain the benefits. We say, ‘AI is going to cure a bunch of diseases,’ and people say, ‘Okay, that is great, but that is not really my question. My question is: What is my role in the future? What is my economic future? What is my agency? How do I know that my kids and my family will still be able to have fulfilling, creative expression, struggle, drive the world forward, grow, and do this thing together in a way that has worked for a long time?’ When people in AI say, ‘Sure, there are going to be no jobs,’ or ‘50% of jobs are going to go away,’ or ‘90% of jobs are going to go away,’ and ‘AI is going to be smarter than you at everything,’ and ‘We will give you some basic income, but you are not really going to have a role,’ that is horrible. And by the way, if an AI company says, ‘Maybe we are going to destroy all the jobs, and we will be the most valuable company in the world,’ people should look at you like, ‘Yeah, that is a terrible message.’ I do not think the problem is that we have not articulated the upsides. I think people actually believe us. They hear, ‘AI may cure your cancer,’ and they think, ‘That sounds great.’ I think we, as an industry, have failed to explain how people stay in control of determining the future at every step, and how people can still have a meaningful life in all the ways we care about.” ---- From "CNBC Television" YouTube channel, (link in comment)

🇵🇭 M8 GLYPH on the habits he carried over from college into life as a full-time pro: "I think that the number one habit that I can transfer from being a college student into playing esports is more so just the discipline and the work ethic. You have to be pretty disciplined, especially in university, to be on top of your work, especially since other people won't do it for you. And so, it's still the same thing here, right? If people give me a job to do or things I need to do outside practice, it's my job to take that responsibility and to be able to complete it. And I'd say that's the the greatest thing that I've been able to transfer between the two."
