"What makes me crazy is people get freaked out about tech, and the immediate response is let's attack the tech. But it's not the tech that does anything. It's the users" Christopher on why we always blame the technology instead of the people using it "When I was in Iraq I used to get blown up by garage door openers. They'd trigger IEDs on us. So let's get rid of garage door openers, they're dangerous technology" "I wish we would focus more on the behaviors and hold the front ends accountable. If you use Mythos to hack somebody, let's go after those people and institutions and hold them accountable. We always default to the tech, and that's the wrong place to default"

If an AI model is powerful enough to be dangerous, should the company monitor how you use it? @jason says yes. Watching every search is responsible self-regulation, the kind that keeps the government from stepping in. What do you think?

Alex Hormozi lays out how to learn anything by predicting variables. "Prediction is control. If you can absolutely predict what someone is going to do because you understand all the variables, then you control that person. Mastery over time is just understanding how to influence each of the variables that increase the likelihood that the desired outcome happens." "Most times people will try to have the conversation to make themselves feel better. But if we flip the question to what would I like to have happen, and what increases the likelihood that occurs, you do a very different set of behaviors."

The agent won’t need to maintain an entire app with many users. That’ll just need to maintain the functionality of the app for one user. But everyone will have an agent every agent will just be able to do this

JUST IN: Anthropic faces lawsuit over limits on its $200 Claude Max plan

Alex Hormozi lays out the four ways to get customers. Pick one. "You tell people about your shit. That's advertising. You let them know. You can make content, you can do outreach, you can run ads. Those are your options. Option four is you partner with somebody who already has an audience. That's all you can do right now. One of those four. Pick one." "You make an about page. You push by CTA from all of those things to your about page. You get on the phone with those people and you sell to them. That's the whole business."

The CEO of Anthropic just said something about AI and jobs that's slightly terrifying: "I don't know exactly, but I'm still pretty concerned. I'm still the same order of concerned." "I think we could have this very unusual combination of very fast GDP growth and high unemployment, or at least underemployment, or a lot of low wage jobs. High inequality." Then he broke down the mechanics of how it happens: "We are seeing right now that AI is making people more productive. But that's the usual hump. You automate 90 percent of the job. Great. People are ten times more productive in the other ten percent because they're ten times more leveraged." "Now the sequel to that is, well, then you have to find something else for them to do." "Right now AI makes the software engineers more productive even though AI writes all the code or almost all the code. But we're already starting to see the beginning of, you know, there may be some people that it's not..." He trailed off. The CEO of the company that builds Claude, one of the most advanced AI systems on the planet, couldn't finish the sentence. 70 percent of Americans already think AI will kill jobs. Nearly a third worry theirs will be one of them. The man building the technology just confirmed their fear is the right order of magnitude. GDP will soar. Unemployment will rise. Both at the same time. That combination hasn't existed in modern history, and the person closest to the technology says it's coming. — Dario Amodei @DarioAmodei, CEO of Anthropic

I was wrong about this. The biggest threat to your SAAS company over the next 3 years is your customer’s agent realizing that it could build it in 5 minutes.

The housing market is broken. In the 80s homes cost 3x income. Now it's 5x. Housing costs have outpaced wage growth for decades.
