After 14 Years of Coaching, This Is What I See Hold Most People Back youtu.be/qCv38-wOwUs?is=r_fy… via @YouTube

As with fat tails Llms are frequency machines that fail to extrapolate outside the sample set. What they know is the VISIBLE. Almost as bad as economists, almost worse than psychologists.

I really wish I’d known this earlier.

“You are not lazy. You are scared of choosing because choosing kills fantasy.” “You do not need another certification. You need a market-facing offer.” “You are not stuck because of AI. You are stuck because your old professional identity is expiring.”

Distraction protects you from the pain of commitment. When you scroll, read, watch, research, share articles, analyze patterns, or start another idea, you get the feeling of movement without the exposure of execution. Execution is naked. Research is clothed.

“The one who can embrace the most uncertainty is the one who will eventually win.” An important read from @sahilbloom. Worth your time! sahilbloom.com/newsletter/th…

“Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you.”  - Carl Jung

Some fields work in theory but not in practice. Some fields work in practice but not theory. The uniqueness of economics is that it works in neither theory nor practice.

Those who treat humans as machines are also treating machines as humans.

You are treating a chaotic human life like a rigid mathematical equation. Society conditions individuals to think like empiricists. We falsely assume that abstract values like happiness and fulfillment can be quantified exactly like weight or length. I will demonstrate exactly how to break out of this flawed logic trap. First, you must understand why those mental scales refuse to tip. medium.com/@sarah_hayes/1-me…

Most people want to become followers. They just want to do their thing and be done with it. They don’t want the risk, the hassle, the responsibility and accountability, leadership comes with. But if you’re soemone who can’t stand things going wrong then it’s time to take on the stage and claim leadership. And don’t feel surprised if you don’t see much opposition. Because leadership crunch is real. Is there any wonder why the world’s leadership is not with the world’s brilliant, qualified or talented people? It’s with people who were brave enough to just stand up and say — I’ll be your leader. Do as I say. medium.com/write-a-catalyst/…

Yann LeCun (AMI Labs Founder): "The AI industry is completely LLM-pilled. Everybody is working on the same thing. They're all digging the same trench." LeCun explains why no lab dares break from the pack: "They are stealing each other's engineers. So they can't afford to do something different because if they start going on a tangent, they're going to fall behind the other guys. And so they're all doing the same thing." This groupthink is exactly what drove him out of Meta. "Meta also became LLM-pilled with sort of recent reshuffling. And it's fine, a strategic decision that maybe makes sense for them. It's just not what I'm interested in." For @ylecun, the problem runs deeper than strategy. LLMs are missing something essential about how intelligence actually works: "I cannot imagine that we can build agentic systems without those systems having an ability to predict in advance what the consequences of their actions are going to be. The way we act in the world is that we can predict the consequences of our actions and that's what allows us to plan." His broader critique is that the industry has mistaken fluency for intelligence. Language turned out to be the easy part. The hard part is the physical world. It's why we still don't have domestic robots or level-five self-driving cars, even though today's systems can pass the bar exam and write code.

Wars: you always know how, why, and when they start. You never know how, why, and when they end.

No! It really doesn't differ qualitatively from previous technological revolutions. That's the whole point. People like Dario present it as qualitatively different. They are just deluded or biased by their vested interests in magnifying the impact of their work.

Some doors are closed. Fine. Others are open. But you waste energy mourning doors that were never a fit anyway.

Build the business around your actual strengths, not around what the market seems to reward in other people.

Language model behavior cannot be controlled by language alone. The entire prompt engineering industry is built on refusing to accept this fact. @UnmistakableCEO skooloflife.medium.com/the-a…

When people claim "they want peace", they often mean that they want submission. #TheLydianStone

People consume insight for free all day long. They reserve money for urgency.
