Given its status as one of the great American business biographies, I decided to read Titan, on Rockefeller, a couple of months ago. (I also paired it with a little of Tarbell’s history.) Titan is an impressive work, clearly the product of prodigious research. Assorted points…
Certainly, I think it would be better if nobody was building AGI. I don't expect that to happen, though.
This is very likely Trump's most consequentially bad decision. RFK Jr. is cancelling cancer vaccine research and all mRNA vaccine research. And his decisions are all based on quack science. There were qualified conservative scientists for this post, and Trump picked a meme.
I agree that I underestimated this distance, at least partially out of youthful idealism.
the biggest lesson I've learned from the last few years is that the "tiny gap between village idiot and Einstein" chart was completely wrong
At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live. axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-…
🧵✨🙏 With the new Claude Opus 4, we conducted what I think is by far the most thorough pre-launch alignment assessment to date, aimed at understanding its values, goals, and propensities. Preparing it was a wild ride. Here’s some of what we learned. 🙏✨🧵
There are a lot of problems with this platform, but the quality of AI discourse here is still 100x better than Bl**sky, which is awash in “every ChatGPT query bulldozes an acre of rainforest” level takes.

Will the current shortage of stimulant ADHD medication end before 2025?
Resolved NO. On October 12, 2022, the FDA announced a shortage of Adderall, a popular stimulant medication used to treat ADHD. The shortage is ongoing and has since extended to Ritalin and Vyvanse,...

alternate history novel where Ask Jeeves became the dominant search engine, and now we’re all sending each other Jeevesmails, making spreadsheets in Jsuite, and instead of Google Glass we got the wildly successful Jeeves Smart Monocle
Something really encouraging about my project Modern Serial is that I haven't done any marketing for weeks, yet sales continue coming in every day or so. My suspicion is that people are learning about the site via word-of-mouth, but it's hard to know for sure.
It’s actually crazy how much developing tiny games for #pico8 improved my performance in programming job interviews. For instance, in PICO-8, if you want to detect that 2 objects ran into each other, you’ve gotta write that collision detection code yourself, by hand. There’s no…
