I remember this ad. Such a clever & powerful statement. :-)
Fable isn't the first. In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold. Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.

This likely includes AI rock star Andrej Karpathy, who's in the US on an EB-1 "Extraordinary Ability" visa, and who worked at Deep Mind, OpenAI and (now) Anthropic. 🫠

This has happened with every technological shift in history. More productive tech doesn’t equal more leisure time. It creates a pressure to do *even more*
guys be honest, are you working less because of AI because I'm working more than ever

My favorite “what could have been” for SF are the original 1960-61 BART route plans that went from SF to Marin(!), the South Bay, and deep into the East Bay. If only! (second map shows estimate transit times from SF at rush hour! 🤯)

distribution is still king 📈
our OpenAI traffic 3x'd. the cause: ChatGPT added branded links inside answers instead of burying them in citations.¹ but that's the small story. Codex went from 600k to 5m weekly users.² agents are choosing the stack now.

Likely an even better podcast transcription tool, with Q&A and search x.com/kaz/status/20618798756…

nice! had just come across podscript.xyz/ yesterday...I like the ability to "ask about this transcript" instead of only being able to do a keyword search.

Found a useful tool to transcribe all those 3-hour podcasts no one has the time to listen to even at 2x speed: usetranscribe.io/

We went from a world where jocks ruled to one where nerds ruled, and then the nerds built technology that lets the jocks rule again. 🫠

Many a truth was said in jest! 😂
How to ragebait a VC - Which podcast gave you that opinion? - How would you add value if you found a way to be valuable? - You look like you make all of the 2 but none of the 20. - Sorry, we aren't raising from you right now. - Which AI model did you use to vibe code your firm's website? - What startup role would you take if they'd have you?
