Dude. Elon Musk is on another planet.

Alexandr Wang on what matters in an age of abundant intelligence: “The scarce resource isn’t going to be intelligence or agency. I really think it’s going to be vision and ambition.” “Do you have a clear view of what you want the world to look like in the future? What is the one way in which you wanna put your finger on the scale for how the future of the world will develop?” “AI will make that easier... But the flip side of that is then all of a sudden you can dream bigger.”

🚨 At the U20 Mayors Summit, Mamdani Says the Left Has Ceded “Quality of Life,” “Efficiency,” and “Fraud and Waste” to the Right This was one of the more interesting arguments Zohran Mamdani made today at the U20 Mayors Summit, and a reminder that he can be genuinely sharp when he drops the “central casting” routine. “In New York City, there are certain words that have taken on ideological associations.” “Quality of life has come to be seen as somehow a right-wing concern. Efficiency… has been taken on as a right-wing concern, rooting out fraud and waste, a right-wing concern.” Mamdani’s argument is that refusing to engage those issues actually helps the Right. “If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” The harder question is how much of the broader Left is actually prepared to follow the advice.

Jobs called it a disease: thinking the idea is 90% of the work, then handing it to other people. Jobs says no. Electrons will not do what you want. Plastic will not. Glass will not. You are holding 5,000 things that do not fit. His picture for a real team is an old man, a coffee can, and ugly rocks. Motor on. Noise all night. Next day the same stones are polished. The polish was them hitting each other. The idea that went in is not the one that came out.
