I haven't tweeted much about it, but I am running a part-time, 6 week program this summer at Fractal to help professionals master AI agents.
It's based on everything I learned from training ~100 engineers over the last 2 years. Check to see if your employer will pay for it :)
if you had to give a breakdown, what % of your "life energy" goes to the following categories in your life?
- sex
- money
- your relationships
- your "purpose"
- waste
- other
for me it's like:
sex: 0%
money: 15%
relationships: 25%
purpose: 20%
waste: 20%
other: 20% (mostly this goes to random curiosity)
but I get compounding effects, because I try to make the categories overlap as much as possible

If you truly *love* American cities, you MUST support strict enforcement of laws against anti-social behavior. Paying bus fares, red light cameras, camping on sidewalks, smoking on trains, off-leash dogs, etc etc
If people want to do whatever they want, that’s FINE in the suburbs or the country on your own land. But it, fundamentally, cannot work in our densest places where people all have to co-operate in proximity.
If we do not, it means cities will continue to be primarily for those able to avoid the annoyances ... the wealthy and/or child-free.
If we don’t change this … in 40 years we will look back on allowing dogs in downtowns the same way we look at cars:
As a terrible mistake for how it molded dense urban environment for the benefit of a few ... by not properly pricing in public costs of the "free rider" dog owners and by changing the entire culture to accommodate them.
My fear is by then (like with cars today) there will be too many ppl accustomed to the private benefits and impunity of living downtown with their dogs so we're only able to make marginal changes
And that negative downstream effects (fewer kids, playgrounds, dirty sidewalks, dog attacks) will be baked in
I wonder how much money I could save Americans every year by just like... campaigning for people to stop wasting money on overpriced mattresses and cars. What else is like this? Houses? Degrees?
Americans are so rich and finance everything, but it's mostly junk man.
I don't mean to be... grumpy? or anti-human?
but am I the only one happy and excited to share the universe with other kinds of intelligence? Or... curious and interested to meet an entity who is vastly more capable and intelligent than me? I'm not anti-safety, it's just cool!

We should be more ambitious with the software we build:

![Since early this year, Michael Malis (of pgrust) has been showing me interesting things he's done and saying
[W]e should be more ambitious1 with the software we build
There is, understandably, a lot of skepticism about projects like pgrust because there are so many low-quality AI-generated projects out there. If I didn't know Malis and didn't look into it, I would just assume that pgrust was another vibe slopped project that's never going to work. But I know Malis well enough to trust his work without looking into it, and if you look into it a bit, you'll see that in testing pgrust, he's testing thoroughly enough that he's even uncovering real bugs in Postgres, such as this numerical bug that can cause valid SP-GiST operations to fail, this format cache bug that can cause incorrect results from JSONPath, this pgcrypto bug that can cause later operations to fail, multiple memory safety bugs in the dictionary loader, this money overflow bug, etc.

is there a You Can See Everything tpot group chat yet? If not, I need one. I want to discuss this movie so badly, but I don't want to spoil people.
I need 1password to build me a feature that systematically rotates my passwords every month, and sends the updates passwords securely to all the services I'm signed up for.
Security just can't be a wild west like this anymore, we need secure protocols
this is cyclical, by the way.
I encourage you to play long games, so you can compound something forever. One such thing you can compound is 'career capital' (what gabriel calls 'status'), which is, like regular capital, non-zero-sum by nature. It is not a ranking.
my most schizo political theory is that elite overproduction and ennui, and intra-elite competition, are leading to an externalized sense of depression and pessimism, whereby we need to continuously raise taxes for welfare for [other people who are not me] until I am happy.
A lot of this started on the left, because they have this extended idea of family (socialism/communism), where the family and the state should merge together until everyone feels loved and supported by their state.
But I notice that it has caught on among the new right, as well
you, too, could be demoing production software that you built during your first week at @fractaltechnyc if you join our next Accelerator program, starting November 7th!
If you have ever thought "wow there are all these things I wish I could do with AI", then sign up now!
Tonight I demoed my AI event ROI capture tool at @stripe with our @VCPlatform NYC crew. I built this in my first week at @fractaltechnyc during summer bootcamp and over the weeks I realized how much fun it is demoing things! I love it so much, makes me want to build more things
Is there a cheap way to get subsidized credits for messing around with AI videos? They're very expensive right now, expensive enough that it's hard to just throw credits at the problem.
extremely cool initiative
Intelligence is an awful thing to WASTE!
20% of us max our AI plans every week, a huge waste of intelligence!
What if we could pool that expiring intelligence & point the swarm at projects aimed at building the world of abundance.
A tutor for every child,
Cures for rare diseases,
Cheap, abundant energy?
