Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

Yeah I recognized all the arguments as the same ones fundie homeschool parents made haha.

It’s so exhausting. These arguments are also always trotted out in the most vague terms and when you ask for specifics is always some random anecdote about a college professor or club leader, not legislative or executive policy.

There’s a category of smartwatch that is huge in endurance sport niches (Garmin, Suunto) but I think those niches are small.

God this conservative trope of adopting the fallacy of the middle as if it’s some sort of noble posture, or a position at all, is so exhausting.

β€œWe must find a way to live with one another” maybe address the one side that is kidnapping and killing and making CSAM, they seem aggressively opposed.

Put trees on the slope to constrain the agents, agents are the skis, you are the skier.

O sumpthin like that

In all seriousness, I think about this target fixation metaphor a lot with regard to myself. What am I unsure of? What is the gap? Go there and be enlightened.

Paying attention to the gaps just tells you what you *can* do. Only you can decide.

You don’t ski the trees, Travis. You ski the gaps.

So. Much. this. Especially as someone who spent the first decade of my career in/on defense and government projects.

Engineering can be so much better than this and more than this. It's absurd how much we're resigned to this entire area of human work being held hostage by this kind of culture.

I prefer to see it as coherent datapoints and an insane narrative.

Damn this is the β€œtech industry” I…miss. Thanks for being such an awesome leader for us Charity

Also as someone who was preternaturally gifted at math and struggled with other things, this is abjectly untrue.

I cannot emphasize enough how much Zohran Mamdani's campaign was very much about a platform focused on accountability, but also about having fun, fostering genuine connections with its citizens, and reminding people why they moved to New York City and should still want to live there

Optimus will overturn the fundamentals of economics to an extent that we may not even need money in the future, Musk says, and yet he still recommends people "hold onto your Tesla stock," which seems like a kind of mixed message.

They need to rent it from Four Seasons Landscaping
