coding agents make it harder both for humans and other agents to understand the state of the system at any given time. it changes so fast and the amount of context is so large that its hard for any one entity to know what is best

the Iran war will end up being America's biggest disgrace since the Vietnam War. The only silver lining is if the learnings from this debacle will prepare us for a potential conflict with China over Taiwan

agreed. have seen this in my own tinkering with iOS apps, very easy to build now. the one point I disagree with tho is that its still hard to build something good - good UI & UX, simple and easy to use, reliable, etc.
I think the challenge is that everyone can now build apps
But
1) almost nobody has distribution (like an audience), or
2) the money to pay for distribution (ads or UGC), or
3) the creative genius to get distribution for free (classically called guerilla marketing)

looking at a screen all day, especially a tiny one on a phone, is a behavior we have accepted at normal but it actually sucks. I'm excited about the prospect of ambient AI shifting our ways of working and living back to something more natural

Many VCs founders and pundits in Europe are deliberately overstating the deterioration in US-EU relations for their own benefit. They want government funding to replace American vendors. This will actually have the opposite effect, making everyone less integrated & more divided

Apple missing the AI wave might be the biggest blunder in tech since Intel missing mobile phones

was shocked to learn this week that people don't know this classic!

we need an American alternative to ASML. otherwise fabricating chips in the US won't fix the vulnerability

completely convinced now that HTML is the best output for form LLMs after a few days of experimenting

100% agree, too much online noise
in a sea of online posts, dms, emails, and notifications
IRL is becoming the biggest differentiator
and it's only the beginning of how important it will be

rather than try to produce everything critical to national defense domestically, the US should help Central American neighbors set up more manufacturing. This eliminates the shipping vulnerability while keeping production costs low and creating stability in neighboring countries

this is a good take

.@danshipper: "The AI jobpocalypse is not a thing.
The mass unemployment thing that AI lab CEOs are talking about—that's not going to happen.
AI models make yesterday's human competence cheap.
But what's interesting is that since everyone's using the same models, it all looks the same. So it becomes commoditized. It's not valuable anymore.
And what humans do is we go in there, and we're like, yeah, we have all this frozen human competence from yesterday, how do I use this to make something new and interesting, today?"

Just learned that Robert Reich wrote off America's tech industry in the 80s. In hindsight, a terrible prediction. Don't know why he is still considered credible by some

China & the US are much more economically intertwined that the US & Soviet Union were. Both sides have much more economic leverage over each other. I'm increasingly feeling like both need to find a way to coexist

been tinkering with webRTC now that I am building voice agents. AI is helpful for getting up to speed but hard problems like reliable low latency voice calls with simultaneous texting are still hard

the Qatari / Chinese propaganda war turning people against the things America is doing most effectively
Scariest video I've watched this week
America's next generation actively booing the most transformative technology our species has ever seen
In China grandmas line up to get OpenClaw installed
In America, supposedly our most educated people BOO even the mention of AI
The west simply does not stand a chance if this continues
We have a massive AI marketing problem in this country and nobody is doing anything to fix it
Tomorrow Meta will announce 8,000 layoffs. They will blame it completely on AI
They won't blame it on their irresponsible hiring in 2021 or extended elevated rates or horrible market conditions or bad inflation
No, in order to not tank their stock, they'll blame it on AI
College students will read that and learn to HATE the technology
They'll protest outside datacenters holding ridiculous signs that say "SAVE OUR WATER NO MORE DATACENTERS"
Politicians will see this and run on blocking data centers just to get a few votes
All of it will be a cycle that leads to America losing to China
This should be a warning sign to all frontier labs and CEOs: messaging matters. And if your messaging doesn't change the West is cooked
