For 45 years, Berkeley built virtually no new housing. By the mid-2010s, it was the most expensive college town in America. Shortly thereafter, YIMBYs took over and kicked off a building boom. Today, nominal rents are below 2018 rates—remarkable progress on affordability.

This argument against "LLMs are conscious" is the same as thinking bats and birds must share a recent common ancestor because both have wings
This is the thing "LLMs are conscious" people think is the same as a matrix multiplication.

So much of SF culture is abstracting completely normal and ambient behaviors into first something that someone can claim takes organization skills and capacity as a resumé item, and secondly force an attempt to commodify it
The IRL connection economy is a $400B market.
And companies are racing to own it.
In the last 6 months, $800M in capital was deployed on "IRL" bets.
@Tinder invested $60M into a new Events feature for connecting matches in-person. They're pivoting to IRL and offering experiences such as speakeasies, raves, and pottery classes.
@222place: raised a $10.1M Series A to curate blind social experiences for Gen Z. Personality-matched groups sent to hyperlocal nightlife events.
@JagermeisterUSA launched BestNightsVC - the only venture fund in the world dedicated solely to nightlife and IRL connection. 16 portfolio companies across 4 continents.
@timeleft: dinner with 5 strangers, every Wednesday. €18M ARR. 6,500 dinners/week across 200 cities.
Dion: members-only social app where the first move is buying someone a real drink, redeemed IRL. 10K members, 30K on the waitlist founded by @revekkapal.
Pie: Bonobos founder @dunn built an IRL friendship app. $24M raised. 130K MAU.
@weroad_official: group trips for 20-30 year olds who don't know each other beforehand. $150M valuation.
Matchbox: is an algorithm-powered matching platform for IRL events and has powered over 100,000 connections. founded by @liamjmcgregor (prev @MarriagePact)
New dating apps like Known @Celesteamadon, Cerca @MylesCerca, and Ditto @AllenWangzian are aiming to improve connection amongst young people.
Billion-dollar companies are paying $$$ for community and events leads:
- @AnthropicAI: Marketing Events Manager ($255k)
- @tryramp: Community Manager ($223k)
- @tryramp: Events & Culture Manager ($181k)
- @duolingo: Senior Community Manager ($193k)
- @NotionHQ: Community Programs Lead
Everyone knows the more time we spend online, the more valuable real-life connection becomes.
The question isn't whether IRL wins.
It's who facilitates it best.

I think, in hindsight, we will come to view the development of AI as more akin to a Eukaryotic Revolution than an Industrial one.

Kids will never feel the gameday pressure of having to start an essay at 2am and finish it by 8am before the deadline. Totally lost. Absolutely no evolutionary pressure towards a clutch factor anymore.
