seeing your big brained portfolio was outperformed by the sp500 (the simplest investment of all time) has to be in the top 10 most humbling moments in life
I just realized that @EffectTS_ would probably be essentially ignored if released today even in the exact same state
It’s just so big that everyone would assume it’s slop and there’s no way someone actually put enough thought into making something that big actually well designed
I took this photo on January 11th 2026 after having to walk past this billboard everyday because it is wrong

rebuilt my personal ai call assistant setup with a @executorsh V2 app
connects to @Vapi_AI api to make and view calls, has its own storage and ui, and tools and skills for my agents to interact with it

A few weeks ago, @bratton @antikythera_xyz
and Marek Poliks (Disintegrator) joined us for a sold-out double lecture on how AI agents and increasingly automated systems could reshape society.
gave my agent a phone and now its like my personal secretary / concierge
so amazing especially for traveling
crazy how it went from "mom/dad how did you live without x 40 years ago" to "how did I live without AI 2 years ago"
email is so cool sometimes idk
its like the good constraints of writing real letters but without all of the reasons sending actual mail sucks
I find it way more fun than texts from maintaining certain relationships
I really enjoyed the Zuck profile
Didn’t realize the Roman Empire thing isn’t a meme for some people lol

Introducing the US Gov Graph - a complete map of the people and positions of power in the federal government.

Check it out here: graph.civlab.org/us
We exist to set the conditions for an era of civic excellence unmatched since the Founding. We will need nothing less to navigate the age of AI.
I'm looking for exceptional engineers and designers to work with me in San Francisco. If that's you, inquire here: tally.so/r/KY97RK. Self-governing civilization is counting on you.
What’s the point of putting the handle of your private account in your public account bio when it’s not for anyone who will ever read that bio
Lots of people do this never made sense to me
finally read this- crazy to see how many of the timelines from 2-3 years ago played out as expected
also crazy to think about just how bad the models were (by todays standards) from when most of these podcasts were recorded
