"It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'Try to be a little kinder.' " -Aldous Huxley

Trillions of dollars will be allocated based on who wins the AI race. @StephenGrugett, co-founder of @ManifoldMarkets & CEO of @MNX_fi: "The new company that I'm starting is an exchange focused on AI-related markets: GPU compute prices, electricity, and AI benchmark numbers." "Anthropic and OpenAI are about to go public... valued over a trillion dollars. The question of who will win the race to AGI will determine how trillions of capital is allocated." "And yet the most obvious question you would have about these AI labs is... who is gonna have the best model? What rate of progress will model improvement be at over the next year, two years, 10 years?"

We're at Manifest this weekend. Come say hello. Word on the street is that private mainnet invite codes are being given out...

I just finished East of Eden this morning. I'm not religious at all but Steinbeck looked me in the eye and said: you are not destined to be your worst self; you are not condemned by your past; you get to choose, every single day, you get to choose. This book doesn't need you to believe in God (I judged it too harshly and quickly). It only needs you to believe in people...the terrifying, beautiful fact that we are capable of both darkness and light, and that the choice between them is always, stubbornly, ours. Honestly, one of the most devastating things I've ever read.

if you’re a sensitive woman, you better involve yourself in charity work or helping/working with children. pour all your love and nurturing into the poor, the weak, and children. it’s better than feeling motherly toward evil people just because you see the child in them.

Excited to announce we’ve raised $6.4M to build MNX, the AI exchange!

haha yeah that's crazy. anyway time to use Grok to get the news

Singularity or not. End of the world as we know it or not. I believe having children with someone you truly love and being the best parent you can be will only become an ever more fun and interesting adventure.

If you want a baby but would like a loving partner first, swing by our prediction market themed matchmaking event at manifest! @Pandora_Delaney and I want you to find love! 3pm Saturday

We analyzed the data for Kentucky's 4th District Republican primary. We were so surprised, we poured ourselves a bourbon... 👀🥃 Check out the new report on our Substack:| electiontruthalliance.substa… Shortform report and explanatory materials to follow.

I got into arguments with ppl I know during election season when they said Trump was the Free Speech President. I would have loved nothing more than to eat crow but instead the WH has a portal to receive "tips" and shame news outlets, podcasters, and YouTubers who criticize him.

RT @mankattan: Im scared Trump won’t get boo’d loudly enough at MSG because most ppl who were able to get tickets are millionaires

never waste a good crisis

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them. That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving. You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.

yes!

If you are ever feeling a little crumby, me want you to know me here for you.

Travel in the US is so uncivilized, my god

I’ve never stolen an erection in my life.

How about “Let’s take another crack with a Biden.” Needs work but the possibilities are endless.

i have had conversations with thousands of people at this point over the last 20 years about this particular problem, and observed how it played out for many of them. the answer to 'excess self-awareness' is to redirect your awareness beyond yourself. help people. volunteer. etc
