Dopamine does not spike highest for guaranteed rewards. It spikes highest at reward prediction error. If you want to have fun in life, you should stop avoiding risk and uncertainty.

opposite curve shapes = opportunity. - chatbots throw longer and longer walls of text. - people have shorter and shorter attention spans.

reading is an act of inhabiting other minds. it is a reminder that minds can possess us as much as we possess minds.

copernicus displaced humans as the spatial center of the universe. darwin displaced humans as singular creations of the universe. AI displaces humans as the (self appointed) cognitive center of the universe. both the need for human exceptionalism and the lack of evidence of it seems unchanging.

proactive and autonomous AI agents are a new causal force in the world of atoms and bits. till very recently only humans and 'nature' were the cause.

[redacted] has been achieved @alma_inc 24hrs ago, one of our experiments blew our minds. no one has done it before, we didn’t even know it was possible; it might redefine personal computing entirely

We asked @alma_inc to make an @a16z style video, without a human using the editor. Fully with computer-use. Alma merged the clips, found the characters, added name cards and dropped in transitions on its own using Adobe premiere pro. You no longer need to learn any software. Stay tuned!
