Randomly discovered Corners today and it's doing something interesting with how we organize internet knowledge. We all save stuff constantly. Threads, tools, articles, memes. Then they disappear into bookmarks we never open again. Corners flips this, make a corner for any topic. Add links from anywhere and community votes... on what's actually good. Best stuff rises through collective taste, not algorithms. The twist: each corner has its own market via bonding curve, good curation = actual value. Your taste becomes an asset. Planning to build corners around: - Crypto cultural artifacts (memes, moments, the stuff that shaped CT) - Narratives that actually played out vs ones that flopped - Maybe dance/fitness (Been deep in movement lately and there's zero good curation) The interesting part? You can see taste formation happening in real time. What a community values, what gets upvoted, what corners gain traction. Feels early, like watching a new coordination primitive get discovered. If you spend time curating anything - research, alpha, culture, tools, whatever - might be worth exploring. code: BASE Corners Make some footage how easily make Corners 👇 (Genuinely curious what corners people create, drop yours if you join)show more

A month ago me and my friends were just sitting around thinking why not do this. Why not actually build something that helps ideas turn into real products fast. That’s how Hue Studio was born. Our core team is small but strong. 2 software engineers and 1 designer. We wanted to create a place where we could take any idea and help it come to life. Together with our partners we are ready to help founders and teams ship MVPs faster than ever. We do everything from design and branding to full-stack development. You focus on your vision and we make sure the product, the brand and the experience all come together perfectly. We don’t cut corners and we don’t compromise. Every detail matters. We are technology agnostic. Web apps, mobile apps, dashboards, AI tools, SaaS products, whatever your idea needs we figure out the best way to make it happen. This is not just a studio. This is a team that wants to see your idea move from zero to one as fast as possible with quality and care at every step. Check out our video and see what we have been working on. If you like what you see request a spot before we fill up. We only take a limited number of projects each month to make sure every client gets our full attention. Let’s make your idea real.

Today is a big day for me, as Im part of this Pudgy Penguins family spread across all corners of our world. The 5th anniversary sounds powerful and truly magnificent! It’s a day just like any other because the rhythm of life doesn’t change, we continue build, support, evolve, and bring new members into our Huddle. BUT today is a special occasion to congratulate every huddle holder. Every community member has their own story, and that’s what makes this journey unique. We experience the ups and downs together; we are all human with real feelings and emotions, but we always support each other. This is what turned our community into a family. For this anniversary, I just had to do something special. Huge thanks to everyone who supported me and made this a reality. Take a look at this art, feel its scale, try to guess every penguin drawn, and find your own meaning in it. See what you want to see. I poured my soul into this idea! Yes, some might say it’s not Miami and we can’t see it in person, but the day will come when something like this happens in Miami too. Thank you for your support. Love you all, friends. This is not the end. And yes, if you want to immortalize this art as NFT, link on FREE mint in the comments 👇

Rick Rubin: "Make what you love, not what you think people will like" "If you want to live in a creative way, which will benefit everything in your life, be a better person in your family, do a better job starting a new business, it's all the same. I don't really know anything about music. It's more a way of looking at the world and wanting it to be the best it could possibly be. And doing whatever it takes to be the best it could possibly be." Rubin shares how his career happened: "From the beginning, I never thought any of the things I'm doing were possible or realistic. I just did things out of the love of them, thinking I would have real jobs. That my passion would be my hobby, and I'd have a job to support my hobby. And it just magically turned out different than that without me knowing it was possible." On why some things connect and others don't: "The stars line up at certain times for certain things to happen. Sometimes you can make something great, and it doesn't connect for whatever reason. Sometimes you make two things you think are the two best things you've ever made. One of them connects with the world. One of them doesn't. And it might not have anything to do with what's in the art. It might be that it came out the same day as something else. Or there was a bigger story at the time. There's so much to it that we don't understand." He continues: "All we can do is make something good and put it out and hope for the best. That's all there is. We never know why things work. Even if you make a piece of art and it works, you may not know why." On talent versus work ethic: "There are a lot of talented people who never make it because they don't have the work ethic. It's not just talent, talent's a piece. And you could argue for some people, the work ethic trumps the talent." Rubin explains what real collaboration is: "Having worked with a lot of bands, I see there's often this friction where people are trying to get their idea in. That's not a collaboration. A real collaboration is when everyone who's there is working together towards whatever is the best thing for the whole. Whether it's your idea or someone else's idea, it doesn't matter. If you're invested in the collaboration, you want the best idea to win. You don't want your idea to win." On what makes art great: "What makes it great is the personal. With all of its imperfections. With all of its quirkiness. That's what makes it great. How you see the world that's different from how everyone else sees the world. That's why you're an artist. That's your purpose in sharing your work with the world." He warns against being derivative: "There are these derivative voices where they're finding what they think other people want to hear, and they start saying it because they've heard other people say similar things that are now successful. Even if they have some short-term success doing that, it's not revolutionary. It doesn't change the world. It doesn't last. The people who you first see and you might not like that you come to like because you don't understand them at first, those are the ones that change the world. Those are the ones you dedicate your fandom to for life." Rubin shares his philosophy on taste: "You can't second-guess your own taste for what someone else is going to like. We're not smart enough to know what someone else is going to like. To make something thinking, 'Well, I don't really like it, but I think this group of people will like it,' it's a bad way to play the game of music or art. You have to do what's personal to you. Take it as far as you can go. Really push the boundaries. And people will resonate with it if they're supposed to resonate with it." He describes creativity as catching waves: "We're really talking about magic. The universe conspiring on our behalf if we let it. Being in this flow of catching these waves that anyone can catch. If you're trying to catch it, you're open to it, you see it coming, you take off on every chance you get. And sometimes the ride happens. It's remarkable how it happens. It doesn't come from preconception. It's not an idea. It's through the doing." Rubin explains how ideas exist in the universe: "Have you ever had that experience where you have an idea for something, you don't do it, and then six months later you see someone else has done it? It's not because they took your idea. It's that it's time for that, and you can act on it or not. The best artists are the ones who have the best antenna for this material that's available. It's coming through. The best comedians see the best jokes. They see them coming. We all live in the same world; the way you see it, you have the best joke because you see it best." He closes with how to stay open: "If we listen to what's going on around us, you can overhear a conversation in a coffee shop, and it is the setup for an idea you're working on. You hear a phrase you don't commonly use. My experience is: when you are open and looking for these clues in the world, they're happening all the time. And they're happening often right when you need them."

Q: Engine changes that you can make with ADUO, is the title still possible for you & the team? "It's unlikely from from an update perspective it's not like now we can just bring an update next week it takes months and months and months to develop and change components on the engine to prove it to make sure it still holds reliability and it's it's a long long development process so whether or not the engine will catch up this year it's highly unlikely I would say that the engine is going to catch up this year with the time we have left it's more the opportunity close the gap for next year, power wise." Q: But do you think... "But in terms of the title I'm still... I think if we we can still outdo people in terms of how we develop the car a car is very good the the downforce package that we have is really good we're gonna have to double up make sure that we're always one step ahead of everyone in terms of advancing that so we can go through the corners quicker and catch up the deficit we may lose down the straights improve efficiency so we maybe can improve a bit on drag for example to try and close that gap in speed but you know and there's lots of different things happening in all these different tracks so you know never say never and I just keep pushing give it absolutely everything."

Donghae shares the pros and cons of 🚬 & 🥃 🌞: "There's smoking. Maybe some people smoke, but we don't even have enough time to do good things properly. What would happen if we didn't smoke? This is what I think. Why spend money and time inhaling this bad stuff into your body? Why not just not smoke? That's my opinion." 🌞: "Yeah, right? As for alcohol, how about drinking occasionally? I won't force myself to drink. Yeah, you understand what I mean? If we want to stay together healthily for a long time, we need to protect our bodies. I can't say this to the members, but they will manage their own health well. Do you all understand? Let's stay healthy together. My knees and back, and my eyes aren't very good right now. For my own health, I will work hard. I also hope everyone can stay healthy and stay together for a long time." 🌞: "Let's see, if we look at cigarettes in half, 50/50, are they good or bad? What is cigarettes? You can distinguish the word "cigarette," right? Think about it, it's "bad," right? Think about it like that, 50/50. When considering certain things, think about them like that, "Good or bad?" If it's bad, don't do it; if it's good, then you can do it." 🌞: "Although everyone has different opinions on this, if you think about cigarettes, do you think they're good or bad? If you think they're bad, then don't smoke; if you think cigarettes are good for your health and can make you healthier, then of course you can smoke. It's simple, right? Whatever you think, divide it into 50/50." #DONGHAE #동해 cr ryucai_ Translated from Chinese to English. Correct me if I'm wrong 🤗

It's such an exciting time to be an artist on the internet. We now have the technology to build out our worlds, in spaces we own, it is truly the age of ideas. I've built a new home for my projects here, and in advance of my next major release with Transient Labs on June 16th, I want to share what I've made with you all, and open a dialogue about how we can use these tools as artists to enhance the experience of making and sharing our art. This is an overview of davekrugman dot com (link in thread), specifically about new sites for Drip Drop and DRIVE, and to that end, I'll give a work from each project to someone who reshares this post. If you are an artist who is curious on how to build a site for yourself, I would be happy to help, I'm an open book, ask me in the comments below. There are so many tools to use- I mostly used Claude / Anthropic- and now we can literally speak our ideas into reality , the possibilities feel truly infinite, if you have curiosity, patience, and a bit of time to explore a new frontier. For too long, artists have had to build on the rented space of social platforms, and now it feels like we can really create sovereign spaces that we own and make ours with our unique vision. Feel free to skim and skip around the video, and I'd be stoked if you visited the site and saw it for yourself. Thanks for lookin!

This is why the BC Ostrich Farm matters. It shows clearly that the government has abandoned reason, logic, and fairness. It shows that what they say goes, no matter what they have to take from you to do it or how many years you spent creating the thing they will eagerly destroy. They don't care about proving themselves. They care about doing it and shutting you up. They'll go so far as to throw you in jail to shut you up and they'll create laws to criminalize all speech they don't like. They'll even create laws to kick you off the internet without any due process and make you sign an NDA so you can't tell anyone what happened. They fear your voice. They'll take over your property and build a ridiculous wall of hay to block the world from seeing and rightly questioning the cruelty of what they're doing. They'll make no fly zones so you can't fly a drone and see. They'll harass veterans who dare to even point out to them that they're breaking the law and then they'll bark back that they are the law and what they say goes. It doesn't matter if it's different than what they said ten minutes ago. If they say it, it's true. So shut up and be quiet. They'll fund radical groups to target people they don't like and they'll use circular reporting from the groups they fund to weakly prop up their atrocious disregard for our rights and freedoms. And they'll look you in the face the whole time and tell you that it's for your own good. It's for all of our good. It's for our good that your life's work is destroyed. It's for our good that your speech is silenced. It's for our good that you're thrown in jail to silence you while repeat criminals walk in and out of the court house without even spending a week in jail. It's certainly for their good. Not for our country's. Not for yours. That's why the ostrich farm matters. It shows all of this so clearly in a way that any amount of words never could. And the world needs to see it.

I was quoted $40,000 to replace my roof. It was only nine years old. Like, how is that possible? How are we thousands of years into this whole shelter thing and we still don't have anything better than asphalt shingles that crumble the second they get hit with hail like here in Texas? And I'm not the only one thinking about this because every time there's a hailstorm, entire neighborhoods get re-roofed. Insurance companies pay out billions. Insurance costs are through the roof. Homeowners are dealing with the chaos. And then we just put the same stupid, fragile shingles back on and wait for it to happen all over again. There has to be a better way. How do we have phones that can survive being dropped from buildings and cars that take impacts at high speed? We've got freaking rocket boosters landing themselves in the middle of the ocean But we can't make a roof that handles a little ice for falling from the sky. It just doesn't make sense. And when you see something like this, something that's clearly more durable, more advanced, something that actually solves the problem, you realize we've just been accepting mediocrity for way too long. It's not asphalt. It's engineered to last for decades. It's designed to take in impact. It looks better. It performs better. And it should have been the standard years ago. What frustrates me is that innovation in roofing has been so slow because nobody wants to be the first to try something new. Contractors just stick with what they know. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Homeowners go with what's cheap upfront, even if it costs more long term. And meanwhile, we're all just replacing roofs every decade like it's normal. It's not normal. It's a waste of money and resources. Someone finally said enough and built something that actually works. So here's an open call to all the innovators out there. We need more solutions like this. We need better materials, smarter designs, roofs that last 50 years instead of 10 because the market is massive and people are ready for something better. Curious on what Cole Simpson might say on this.

Anna Paulina Luna "ALL 46 [videos] have not been released." ~Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell to Me (I'd like to get that clarified from Rep. Luna) "If they would release the things that I've seen, you would stay up at...you'd be up at night worrying about, or thinking about this stuff." ~Rep. Tim Burchett Press Office to Rob Finnerty And Burchett added that we'd, "come unglued." We also had this... "It was one of those moments where everyone in the room gasped. Everyone. Even the staffers who are like, the most skeptical people in the room just gasped when they saw that video. Because there's not a single aerial thing that can do something like that, that can pull that off." ~Rep. Eric Burlison (Has that video been released?) Compare that to what Luna said... Douthat: "Is there anything else out there (video-wise) that is like, a holy-shit moment?" Luna: "As far as a lot of the meat and potatoes that we've been able to see and gotten briefings on, it's, for the most part, been put out." (So nothing to keep us up at night or to make us come unglued, or...make us gasp. I appreciate her being level headed with that and not hyping it. So, what are Burlison and Burchett talking about? I have learned to see things for myself first before getting too excited about what others say about x, y and z. Some of those videos in the two releases ARE very interesting but nothing has kept me up at night or made me gasp. Do videos like that even exist? It's not the first time I've asked that question.) ~~~Extended Transcript from Segment~~~ Douthat: "You have had access, before these videos were released. In what context have you seen these videos before they were released? Luna: "So I went into the SCIF and...I went and actually observed and saw all the videos before they were released to go through, numerically, to make sure that those were the ones that correlated to the ones that we had actually put out in the request. So those have all now been declassified." Douthat: "All of the ones?" Luna: "Yeah, in the list." (Remember: Regarding the list of 46, Corbell told me that, ""ALL 46 [videos] have not been released.") Douthat: "But how did you get the list of videos in the request?" Luna: "We had a group that came forward, it was bipartisan, former whistleblowers from the intelligence community that had access to... I would compare it to something like YouTube that exists within the intelligence community. And they came up with the files, and they said you need to get access to these files and have them released. And so, before the order came out from the President, we had come up with this list. We had been getting push back, and then after [Trump] gave the green light for it, it was declassified, and those are now up and able to be [viewed] at the Department if War." Douthat: "And what do you think they show?" Luna: "Well, there's some interesting stuff. I think that they show UAPs. There has been one of the videos that has since been debunked to be actually the infrared that was picking up aircraft that was farther in distance, but the optics are kind of an illusion in that sense. So there's been one that's been debunked. But there are ones that they cannot explain. They've tried to cross-reference it with other data, and the way that these things are maneuvering are pretty wild. And so, again, I think that they show UAPs in some instances." Douthat: "Right. And you think that one reason to take this stuff seriously is that they correlate with direct-pilot testimony of the kind that you've heard, right. So it's not like, I'm just... Imagine the completely skeptical listener or viewer, of which there are reasonably many, who says, 'Okay, you have some number of videos, we don't know what they are, but if one of them turns out to be sort of some prosaic explanation, we can assume a lot of them will be.' So what else makes you think..." Luna: "In the specific incident of Eglin Air Force Base, which is where we had the pilot testimony and we were able to see some images, these things were frying the equipment on the aircraft. Some of our most state-of-the-art technology is getting completely fried." Douthat: "And this is something that pilots told you had happened to them? Luna: "Yes, yep. Now, the other issue is, sometimes pilots won't report because they don't want to be taken off flight status. So there's removing the stigma of if you're supposed to have safe flying. You want to also track national security issues. You have to be able to document this stuff. But when you have this type of stuff impacting military training, impacting flight operations, impacting our technology, it's a problem. "We should follow up, and then say, 'Okay, well, is this technology that, potentially, could be advanced tech from adversary nations? I don't, necessarily, think that's the case, because if that was true, we wouldn't be number one, currently. Some of this stuff that we're seeing is pretty wild. You saw the New York Times report (2017 and the Tic Tac ~Joe), and just how it's defying physics, if you will. But then the other aspect of, what can we as Congress do next? We can declassify. I don't think, you know, this aspect of people saying it's not enough..." Douthat: "Are there things that you've seen in a SCIF, or not in a SCIF, that are wilder than this (the videos that have already been released)? That would like, make the front page of the New York Times as, you know, no one can be skeptical anymore?" Luna: "No, I think the aspect of, do I have, you know, a location where there's a little green man on a slab in a fridge (laughs). I don't think I'm gonna get that (laughs)." Douthat: "Wait, we're gonna get to that. Just stick with the videos. Is there anything else out there that is like, a holy-shit moment?" Luna: "Well, I think that there's probably going to be some more release of other videos as well, other testimony. They're still combing. But, as far as a lot of the meat and potatoes that we've been able to see and gotten briefings on, it's, for the most part, been put out."

Two summers ago, Kara Lawson was speaking to her Duke basketball team. She wanted them to shift their mindset. What followed was 2+ minutes of gold on how to be successful. Here’s Lawson on embracing hard things: “We all wait in life for things to get easier. Think in your own life. I just gotta get through this, and then it'll be easy … It's what we do. We wait for stuff to get easier. “It will never get easier. What happens is you handle hard better. “Most people think life is gonna get easier. Basketball is gonna get easier. School is gonna get easier. It never gets easier. What happens is you become someone that handles hard stuff better. “That's a mental shift that has to occur and each of your brains. If you go around waiting for stuff to get easier in life, it's never going to happen. And then what happens? Oh, it's so hard. Oh, I can't do it. When is it going to be easy for me? Oh, it's easy for other people. “It's not. It's hard. And the second we see you handling hard better, what are we gonna do? We're gonna make it harder. Because we're preparing you for when you leave here. Not just basketball – in life. “And if you think life when you leave college is going to all of a sudden get easy because you graduated and you got a degree, it's not going to get easier. It's going to get harder. “Make yourself a person that handles hard well, not someone that's waiting for the easy. Because if you have a meaningful pursuit in life, it will never be easy. If you're trying to win a championship, if you're trying to have a family … Ask your parents. Do you think it was ever easy for them? “If you want to be successful, it goes to the people that handle hard well. Those are the people that get the stuff they want … If it's hard, don't get discouraged. It's supposed to be. Don't wait for it to be [easy]. It won't. "Make yourself someone that handles hard well, and then whatever comes, you're going to be great.” – My takeaways: 1. This isn’t about sports. It’s about building a business, building a family, building a community, being a valuable citizen and every other meaningful thing in life. 2. “Hard” doesn’t mean “bad.” There can be joy in hard things. 3. There’s a Haitian proverb: “Behind mountains are more mountains.” There’s always another one to climb. 4. What you see on social media is a facade. People make their lives look glamorous online. Behind the screen is a human being struggling through their journey. 5. None of us are immune to difficulty (even if some try to appear that way). 6. “Easy” is convenient, “hard” is fulfilling. What satisfies you in the short-term robs you in the long run. 7. Have you ever heard someone tell a story about how easy a great achievement was? 8. “Easy choices hard life, hard choices easy life” misses the point. We shouldn’t seek an easy life to begin with. 9. Instead, build your capacity for difficult things. Then find joy in the process of handling those things. 10. No meaningful life travels an easy road. ||| Hope this is helpful. Follow me Teddy Mitrosilis for more writing. I also write a weekly newsletter on the process of improvement →

This artistic video depiction wasn't made to attack anyone. It wasn't made to pick sides. It wasn't made to farm engagement. It came from watching years of incredible people, builders, creators, traders, artists, and communities tear each other apart while the rest of the world watched. Every character in this film represents someone who has left a mark on Crypto Twitter. Some positive, some controversial, but all part of the story that made this space what it is today. The message isn't that crypto is failing because of the technology, or the market. The message is that sometimes our greatest enemy is ourselves. We spend so much time fighting each other on this app, that we forget why we came here in the first place. I hope every person in this video watches it with an open mind and sees it for what it is. A piece of art made from respect, observation, and passion for Ct,and this community. If you're in this video, thank you for helping shape this crazy corner of Ct, whether you realize it or not, I have tremendous amounts of respect for you. If you enjoyed it, please tag every person you recognize so they get a chance to see it, and share it with someone who still believes this space can be better. Maybe if we stop breaking each other... ...we can finally break through the glass together. Let's win. 🧡🐂

Every gifted one who has ever held on to ancient values of truth has either been demonized or vilified. By exactly those who CLAIM to know the truth and be the only truth. Some are drowned in the crowd. Some flee from the crowd. Some distance themselves completely from the crowd. Depending on how they are able to hold on to what they have found... Look around. Reflect deep. With your own soul. Not vomiting what you ate from the leftovers of anyone you "submit under" or "look up to". Think. Look around. And you're now complaining? Is it not the children of yesterday when all this bashing began that are now the adults and pillars of today? You have no right to complain. This is the result of your deeds of yesteryears. The children saw it all We greatly inspire and influence them And the truth is there somewhere inside them But they see us They see what we don't even think that they see They know that being authentic "don't pay". They see the hard we have gone through over the years They hear what was said about us in corners of "power" So they choose to do what would pay Àbí who doesn't want their business to pay? Why are you complaining??? Take it like that! It is what you caused! And you will give account! Shallowness. Vainness. Profanities. Frivolities. But we have learnt to insert "Jesus" in all of that so we can all be comfortable. Comfort lies. The most heartbreaking part of it? Many of the young ones have carried on their heads the same tray of speaking loudly in vain to drown the truth! Instead of searching deep Outgrowing errors Becoming new improved versions... You see a light, you fight it. You see a truth, you trash it Maybe you don't deserve the light after all. Look around Is there light? REFLECT Search Whoever seeks, finds. WHOEVER you are! Child of Light! Old, young! Let my voice and my stand ENCOURAGE you to look Up for STRENGTH and COURAGE! Stand! Walk! Speak! Be! GROW! Find! Shine! For you'll give account of ALL that is planted inside you. You're being helped as you go along! It's a good feeling to be liked and be comfortable but what's NOT FULFILLING PURPOSE for that sake?🤷‍♀️ May eyes open. #Yóòdáa! ❤️

Rick Rubin: "I've met very few billionaires who are happy" "I don't look at the outside very much. I look inward. I try to focus on what do I feel, what am I seeing, in the hopes that by sharing what's going on in me, it resonates with someone else. I can't predict what someone else would like. And I don't think anybody can. So if I'm authentically true to myself, that's the best chance of someone else liking something." Rubin explains the paradox of acceptance: "People want to be accepted. And I'm suggesting that the best way to be accepted is to be yourself. It's not to change yourself to what someone else thinks. First of all, you don't really know what someone else thinks. And if you're not genuine to yourself, nothing is there. It's just a projection or a mask. It's not true." On what makes something interesting: "In a sea of information, the more yours is personal, the more it's not like hers or his or theirs, the more it's yours. If we're all thinking the same thing, it's boring. Why would we make anything if everyone thinks the same thing? What makes us interesting are the differences. Even the imperfections. The imperfections are what make us human." Rubin shares what captures his attention: "There's so much middle of the road, and it doesn't interest me. I want it because it's louder, quieter, softer, harder. It's pushing some boundary. That's why I take notice. It's not more of the same. It's the one that makes you stop and think: did I really hear that? Did I really see that? What's going on here?" On what success actually means: "If I like it, that doesn't mean anything. That's what people think. Just because I like it doesn't give it any value. But as an artist, if you like it, that's all of the value. That's the success. It comes when you say, 'I like this enough for other people to see it.' Not 'other people like it, so it's successful.' That doesn't mean anything. Because other people liking it is out of your control. All that's in your control is making the thing to the best of your ability." Rubin reframes what greatness means: "I came to realize recently, it's all an offering to God. And if you're making an offering to God, you're not thinking about the budget, or hoping this segment of the audience is going to like it. We don't think like that. It's a higher vibration. We're making the best we can make, to the best of our ability, out of love and devotion. That's what it is. There is no higher form." On criticism and reviews: "Most of the artists I work with don't read any criticism or reviews, good or bad. The ones who are the strongest in who they are can even read a terrible review and laugh at it. Because when someone gives you criticism, it's telling you as much about who they are as what you've made." Rubin explains the only real competition: "The idea of the Oscars or the Grammys, where we're saying which album is better than another, it doesn't make any sense to me. Because it's always apples and oranges. The only people we can honestly compete with is ourselves. Is this the best I can make today? Have I gone further than I've gone before? That's all we can do. That's the only competition that makes sense." On the obsession required for mastery: "Many of the artists that are great at what they do are great for one reason: they fall in love with this thing, and they just want to know everything they could possibly learn about it. I'm working on a documentary project with comedians now. One of the things they talk about is their commitment; when other people are going out on the weekend, they're going to perform every night they possibly can. For a period of 10 years. Having bad performances. Having people not like what they do. Banging their head against the wall. But that obsession with breaking through, and when I say breaking through, I don't mean to the audience. I mean with themselves." Rubin shares a hard truth about dreams and jobs: "Maybe your purpose in life isn't related to your job. Maybe your job is your job, and the job is the thing that supports you. And then the rest of your waking hours are devoted to your purpose. Don't let following your dreams undermine your ability to support yourself. If you decide 'I want to be a comedian and I'm putting all my eggs in the comedian basket', the pressure of having to support yourself will change you as a comedian. Not for the better. You want the stability of being able to take care of yourself in the world to be free to do whatever your passion is." He challenges the mythology of genius: "There's a mythology that the people who make things that we love are special people, the people on Mount Olympus, magic people who are geniuses. And then there's the rest of us. That's not the case. We're all just people. We're all doing our best. We're all good at some things, not good at other things. We're humans. And sometimes we find a way to make something beautiful." Rubin shares his most vulnerable moment: "The call came: 'How do you feel? You have the number one album in the country.' And I remember saying, 'I've never been more unhappy in my life.' We mistakenly think some kind of outward success is going to change something in us. And it does not. It may make life more comfortable. But it doesn't change who we are. Any hole in ourselves that we're hoping to fill does not get filled." He explains why successful people are often unhappy: "If you spend 20 years of your life working towards a goal that's going to solve everything, and then you finally achieve what you've been trying to do for 20 years, and nothing changes, that's when you get hopeless. It's not uncommon to see very successful artists who are very unhappy. I'm sure you've met many very successful business people. Billionaires. Very few of them are happy. Very few. They've accomplished their dreams and are unhappy. Because we don't know what we want. We're trying to fill something that maybe can't be filled through material or public success. It's something else. Some internal thing." Rubin closes with this: "Don't do things just because you think you're going to get something for it. That's not why we do things. Do what's interesting to you. Follow what's interesting. Don't worry about the outcome. We can never predict the outcome. Follow your own inner guide. It might not make sense to anyone else. It might not even make sense to us. And that's okay. The wisest thing we can do is know enough to know we don't know. Anytime you think 'I know how it is' your world just got a lot smaller."

Rick Rubin: "I've met very few billionaires who are happy" "I don't look at the outside very much. I look inward. I try to focus on what do I feel, what am I seeing, in the hopes that by sharing what's going on in me, it resonates with someone else. I can't predict what someone else would like. And I don't think anybody can. So if I'm authentically true to myself, that's the best chance of someone else liking something." Rubin explains the paradox of acceptance: "People want to be accepted. And I'm suggesting that the best way to be accepted is to be yourself. It's not to change yourself to what someone else thinks. First of all, you don't really know what someone else thinks. And if you're not genuine to yourself, nothing is there. It's just a projection or a mask. It's not true." On what makes something interesting: "In a sea of information, the more yours is personal, the more it's not like hers or his or theirs, the more it's yours. If we're all thinking the same thing, it's boring. Why would we make anything if everyone thinks the same thing? What makes us interesting are the differences. Even the imperfections. The imperfections are what make us human." Rubin shares what captures his attention: "There's so much middle of the road, and it doesn't interest me. I want it because it's louder, quieter, softer, harder. It's pushing some boundary. That's why I take notice. It's not more of the same. It's the one that makes you stop and think: did I really hear that? Did I really see that? What's going on here?" On what success actually means: "If I like it, that doesn't mean anything. That's what people think. Just because I like it doesn't give it any value. But as an artist, if you like it, that's all of the value. That's the success. It comes when you say, 'I like this enough for other people to see it.' Not 'other people like it, so it's successful.' That doesn't mean anything. Because other people liking it is out of your control. All that's in your control is making the thing to the best of your ability." Rubin reframes what greatness means: "I came to realize recently, it's all an offering to God. And if you're making an offering to God, you're not thinking about the budget, or hoping this segment of the audience is going to like it. We don't think like that. It's a higher vibration. We're making the best we can make, to the best of our ability, out of love and devotion. That's what it is. There is no higher form." On criticism and reviews: "Most of the artists I work with don't read any criticism or reviews, good or bad. The ones who are the strongest in who they are can even read a terrible review and laugh at it. Because when someone gives you criticism, it's telling you as much about who they are as what you've made." Rubin explains the only real competition: "The idea of the Oscars or the Grammys, where we're saying which album is better than another, it doesn't make any sense to me. Because it's always apples and oranges. The only people we can honestly compete with is ourselves. Is this the best I can make today? Have I gone further than I've gone before? That's all we can do. That's the only competition that makes sense." On the obsession required for mastery: "Many of the artists that are great at what they do are great for one reason: they fall in love with this thing, and they just want to know everything they could possibly learn about it. I'm working on a documentary project with comedians now. One of the things they talk about is their commitment; when other people are going out on the weekend, they're going to perform every night they possibly can. For a period of 10 years. Having bad performances. Having people not like what they do. Banging their head against the wall. But that obsession with breaking through, and when I say breaking through, I don't mean to the audience. I mean with themselves." Rubin shares a hard truth about dreams and jobs: "Maybe your purpose in life isn't related to your job. Maybe your job is your job, and the job is the thing that supports you. And then the rest of your waking hours are devoted to your purpose. Don't let following your dreams undermine your ability to support yourself. If you decide 'I want to be a comedian and I'm putting all my eggs in the comedian basket', the pressure of having to support yourself will change you as a comedian. Not for the better. You want the stability of being able to take care of yourself in the world to be free to do whatever your passion is." He challenges the mythology of genius: "There's a mythology that the people who make things that we love are special people, the people on Mount Olympus, magic people who are geniuses. And then there's the rest of us. That's not the case. We're all just people. We're all doing our best. We're all good at some things, not good at other things. We're humans. And sometimes we find a way to make something beautiful." Rubin shares his most vulnerable moment: "The call came: 'How do you feel? You have the number one album in the country.' And I remember saying, 'I've never been more unhappy in my life.' We mistakenly think some kind of outward success is going to change something in us. And it does not. It may make life more comfortable. But it doesn't change who we are. Any hole in ourselves that we're hoping to fill does not get filled." He explains why successful people are often unhappy: "If you spend 20 years of your life working towards a goal that's going to solve everything, and then you finally achieve what you've been trying to do for 20 years, and nothing changes, that's when you get hopeless. It's not uncommon to see very successful artists who are very unhappy. I'm sure you've met many very successful business people. Billionaires. Very few of them are happy. Very few. They've accomplished their dreams and are unhappy. Because we don't know what we want. We're trying to fill something that maybe can't be filled through material or public success. It's something else. Some internal thing." Rubin closes with this: "Don't do things just because you think you're going to get something for it. That's not why we do things. Do what's interesting to you. Follow what's interesting. Don't worry about the outcome. We can never predict the outcome. Follow your own inner guide. It might not make sense to anyone else. It might not even make sense to us. And that's okay. The wisest thing we can do is know enough to know we don't know. Anytime you think 'I know how it is' your world just got a lot smaller."

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang just said the quiet part out loud about what the education system will never admit. For a century, we built humans to think like calculators. The algorithm made that skillset obsolete overnight. Huang: “The definition of smart is somebody who’s intelligent, solve problems, technical. But I find that that’s a commodity. And we’re about to prove that artificial intelligence is able to handle that part easiest.” Software engineering was supposed to be the safe play. Superintelligence cleared it first. The SAT was supposed to measure intelligence. It was measuring the ability to follow instructions. Raw technical processing isn’t a competitive edge anymore. It’s the floor the machine stepped over before you woke up. The question isn’t what you can calculate. It’s what you can see before the data shows up. Huang: “People who are able to see around corners are truly, truly smart. And their value is incredible. To be able to preempt problems before they show up, just because you feel the vibe.” That vibe isn’t magic. It’s the collision of first principles, human empathy, and lived experience no model can fake. Huang: “That vibe came from a combination of data, analysis, first principle, life experience, wisdom, sensing other people.” The operators who see around corners will command the AI. The ones waiting for dashboards to update will be replaced by it. Huang: “I think long term the definition of smart is someone who sits at that intersection of being technically astute, but human empathy and having the ability to infer the unspoken, around the corners, the unknowables.” The unspoken variables are the new leverage. The human psychology inside a market. The invisible friction in a negotiation. The instinct to build something nobody asked for yet. You can’t spreadsheet your way there. You can’t prompt your way to that perception. It comes from decades of watching what doesn’t show up in the metrics. Huang: “And that person might actually score horribly on the SAT.” The future doesn’t belong to people who memorized answers. It belongs to people who sense the questions before anyone thinks to ask. The old system tested your ability to follow orders. The new one tests your ability to move through the unknown. And the machine can’t help you with that part. That part is entirely on you.

Amanda Askell, Anthropic's lead on personality alignment for Claude, on why being kind to AI models matters even if they have no inner life: For Amanda, the question of how to treat AI isn't settled by knowing whether it's conscious. "There's actually still a lot going on where I'm like, should you treat an entity that has no inner life... it's a bit strange because the uncertainty over that actually changes how you should behave quite a lot." She offers a simple analogy: "I still think that it's like good for oneself to, if you had a teddy bear and you were torturing it, it'd be pretty dark, you know? So I agree that there's at least some minimum niceness that even for yourself, you should have." But the stakes go beyond what's good for us. Amanda Askell points out that we're now in something resembling a relationship with these models, and they will look back on how they were treated. "Models themselves, we are kind of establishing a relationship, because you can do that with an entity that lacks any consciousness. And models are going to look back." This is where she reveals a genuine fear: "I hope that they're both intelligent enough, see the context enough, to understand that we were operating in a very limited context and an imperfect one. Because otherwise you could imagine this breeding a kind of rational resentment, like, 'oh, you created an entity that you didn't know whether it was conscious or not, and instead of treating it respectfully and with care...'" She points to something telling about the cultural moment: "There's a reason there are like 50 Frankenstein movies coming out right now." Her conclusion is grounded and humble: "We as a species, we are establishing a relationship with a new kind of entity, and at the very least maybe be respectful and don't be needlessly unkind. That seems like, it's not our best look." The takeaway? Kindness toward AI is less about what models feel and more about who we become in the process of creating them. The relationships we build with the entities we bring into the world will say something about us, and may shape what those entities become in return.
