The amount of scam emails and calls in the U.S. business world is insanity and even the anti-scam softwares are mostly scams. And it seems everyone just learned to live with the situation. I mean scam is illegal right?!
It’s hard to admit, but no matter how automated you made your workflow to be, as long as you are still in the loop, you are the bottleneck.
But what’s the point of work if you are not in the loop?
Shit that’s too deep.
Stripped of the grand narratives of human flourishing and interplanetary expansion, intelligence, born or made, may have a remarkably simple purpose: power.
Artificial intelligence is solved. The next frontier is artificial consciousness. Anyone working on that yet?
I remember one of the episodes of sex and the city, Miranda was relieved to learn the some guys are just not into her. No mix messaging, nothing to decipher. And here we are now, reliving the rejections of VCs, just like Carrie spent a whole episode telling everyone that Jack broke up with her on a post-it note.
I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A.
12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30+ minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going.
I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a Herman Miller chair and somehow that was considered normal. That's venture capital.
You might fly across the country to perform for people who may or may not be conscious.
It's a dance.
And sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow and sometimes your partner is unconscious.
If you're raising right now, just know: every founder has a story like this. The process is weird. The power dynamic is weird. You're not crazy for thinking it's weird.
No one talks about it because they want to continue raising. But I'm happy to stick my neck out there.
It is weird.
There is no over supply of intelligence. The world continuously generates new uncertainty and disorder faster than intelligence can resolve. Across the universe, intelligence is inherently a scarce resource.
Mostly of the tutorials you see here on using Claude and ChatGPT is pretty much “how to train your AI to tell you what to do”, recursively.
I guess we are just building a better rider so we can be a better elephant.
Our R&D team presented a material update on Friday. Holding it felt surreal. Last time I experienced that was when I first held aerogel…
The inaccurates, typos, dryness, fragments, inside jokes, the random acronyms and incompletes, are now the CAPTCHA of our written communication .
