The biggest problem plaguing AI and LLMs is that people think it's "just AI" and shouldn't be taken as seriously as an email from a colleague, a blog from an "expert", or lesson from a credentialed teacher. However, I've seen a significant compression in the quality gap between those things. We all have, whether we can admit it or not.
If you ask the right question, the answer LLMs can now provide are as valuable as any teacher or tutor I've sat across from. Read it as such. @sama @elonmusk (I know you're not friends but wish you were!)

“Had so much fun, we flew back to vegas the following month, lost $2m but whatever.”
Russell Crowe says Tom Cruise taught him a blackjack strategy that won them $25,000
“Occasionally I will go and play blackjack at a casino if I'm in a group of people because, if you're all disciplined and if you hold every seat at a table, you can turn the tide against the house very easily”
“Funnily enough, it was Tom Cruise who taught me this. If you have it so the first chair and the last chair make the calls and the decisions, and everybody else just sits on 12 and above, you watch the mathematics come your way”
“Now, way back in the day, Tom calls me and goes, ‘Hey, bud. We got this thing set up. Steve Wynn has put on a jet. He's going to fly us to Vegas. We're allowed to play at Shadow Creek.’ I'm not really a golfer, but it sounded good to me. Jumped on the plane, went there, and we're playing Shadow Creek”
“We enjoyed ourselves at the golf course. Then we go back to the Wynn Hotel, and they've given us Michael Jackson's lanai to change clothes in or whatever. We go and get some Chinese food. The jet's comped, the golf's comped, the lanai's comped, the food's comped, and then we go and play blackjack together”
“Tom explains what the team's going to do, and we take $25,000 or more off the table. We go back to the airport, get on the comped jet, fly back to LA, and we finished up as a group. That was a perfect day”

There are two types of people using AI:
1) Those that proudly boast about saving time and doing more, with less.
2) Those that try to take credit for every action and idea.
It's a great litmus test to know who is actually irreplaceable.

The US can't develop enough world-class players because youth soccer is pay-to-play.
The travel team scene is $$$. @Ricardo_Pepi9 made it because his dad pawned the family's car title just to cover gas to tournaments.

The @USMNT 's best-ever World Cup finish?
The very first one. We came 3rd out of 13 teams.
Almost a century later, we have our best ever chance of matching or beating it.

FIFA will pull ~$11 billion this cycle, the bulk of it from a single 40-day window. The tournament itself will generate as much revenue in 40 days as Zillow does in 4 years.

The 2026 World Cup is the biggest sporting event humankind has ever put on.
Over a billion will watch the final alone (that's 10 Super Bowls). @Michael_Easter and Leander Schaerlaeckens just broke it down... 🧵
