It’s almost incomprehensible how wide the distance is between someone who’s working at the frontier with AI and basically everyone else right now. The crazy thing is these lines are not converging, but only growing farther apart. If the curve of AI progress had leveled off, it would certainly have given most people and companies time to catch up or implement their workflows in a standardized way. The technology would have neutralized competitive advantage because everyone would be using it the same way. But what’s happened is the opposite. The curve of AI progress is basically going vertical right now, which means if you had codified your processes 3-6 months ago you’re likely already behind again. Now imagine most companies that kicked into gear a year ago and thought that they were done. Even further behind now. I’ve never seen a technology in my life and career that improves at this rate, which consequently means you need to upgrade your expectations at a similar rate. Our brains weren’t wired for this, and our organizational change management processes certainly weren’t either. With any form of recursive self improvement, things just get wilder. It’s a time when you will need to be constantly reevaluating the things that didn’t work just a couple months ago to see if they now can be solved. AI native companies certainly have a strong advantage due to this right now, so now it comes down to can the bigger companies keep up. Wild times.

My daughter works full time here in Texas. Let me run her numbers. State minimum wage is $7.25. She's making $16. Forty hours a week equals $640 weekly. That’s roughly $2,700 a month before taxes. Texas has no state income tax—the thing they sell you on. So after federal and FICA she takes home roughly $2,300. Average one-bedroom in our city runs about $1,550. That’s 67% of her entire paycheck gone to rent before she eats a single meal. Leaves her around $750 a month for: - groceries - gas - car insurance - health insurance - phone - emergencies - savings Car insurance alone eats a huge chunk of that in this state. She works 40 hours a week and cannot save a dollar. Not because she's careless because there's nothing left to be careless with. I spent thirty years paying off a house here. She's doing the same job I did at her age and she can't afford a basic apartment. That's not a discipline problem. That's not avocado toast. The floor moved and nobody lowered the ceiling. Working full time should cover a roof. In Texas it barely covers the rent on one.

🚨 NOW: Jennifer Welch is facing calls to be SUED by Elon Musk after she declared, "Elon Musk is a white nationalist, who is a Nazi, who does back-to-back Sieg Heils, who is an untreated drug addict" What a DISGUSTING WOMAN! SUE HER into oblivion for defamation!

The common wisdom is that Rubio won’t run in 2028. But there’s decent evidence to suggest he’d be the front runner. (Plus he’s been running for 10 yrs)

The tsunami of AI crap on this platform has crossed a line. Now it comes translated too so you get the same garbage 6 times. Far from the first to say it. But it’s a business crisis for X.
