Elon gets so much clout for being CEO of 4 companies at the same time just because he filed them independently instead of as subsidiaries of SpaceX (which, if we’re being honest, that’s what they are). Sundar oversees like 50+ companies in the Alphabet portfolio but nobody cares

One of my favorite policy ideas is "25 at 25": every American inherits $25k when they turn 25 years old. At that point you've probably been in the workforce a few years, and you understand the world a little. This would everyone to take a risk on a venture or career.

I will bet anyone who wants to participate $100,000 (either to them or their favorite charity) that there will still be programmers in five years

one of the easiest policy wins i can imagine for the US is to reform high-skill immigration. the fact that many of the most talented people in the world want to be here is a hard-won gift; embracing them is the key to keeping it that way. hard to get this back if we lose it.

Noticed something fascinating(ly digusting) about AI-generated summaries of essays: they don't just make them shorter, but also make the ideas more conventional. Which makes sense given the way the AIs are trained.

I had an ex-bf, Eric, who was a musical genius he toiled for yrs over hyper-maximalist, lore-backed, Mars Volta-style opuses that were truly stunning but he never signed to a label, didn't promote much, his music never caught on sometimes I wonder how many Erics are out there.

we may not agree on many things, but this is one of the easiest changes the US can make that radically brightens our potential future. it's literally free money for our country. and I don't know about you, but I like living in a rich country with smart people.

there are two kinds of people who can get anything real done; those who are so convinced of their destiny that they can’t help but live it, and those who are so fatalistic that all risk is apprehended equally

In hindsight, it probably wasn’t the best move to talk about why OpenAI’s poly culture is bad at the birthday party of one of their best engineers

one of my most strongly held beliefs is that rainbolt is proof that data scaling laws apply to humans too and that, with enough data, we can achieve demi-god status in ~any domain

Could Peter Thiel please stop stealing all of the good LOTR names? I’m like “Mithril!” Nope, Thiel cofounded Mithril Capital. “Valar!” Oh you mean the fintech VC firm? Mr. Thiel, please, I’m begging you
