Links are the love-letters of the internet, and we're building the private sharing network for the hopeless romantics that can't help but share them. “Saw this; thought of you" used to hurt. Now, it's simple. subset.network/

Imagine this multiplied across the ties within a group or network, and it becomes positively hellish. Perhaps this is why the promise of 1) autonomous machine agents and 2) high agency humans is so tantalising? They offer the potential to Gordian knot this model.

Not a huge stan of Great Man theory, but the model in the post can be grafted onto it… “Great people” are practically uninterruptible, can persist at the “impossible” indefinitely, and live in the attractor basin of their obsession.

If AI tooling is increasing the ability to generate new software exponentially, then pretty soon (yesterday?) we’ll need an equal and effective counter-force that helps us omit, not do.

Work like @bonnittaroy's always makes me wonder: how would the velocity and trajectory of AI discourse change if its participants were more embodied? themetagame.substack.com/p/9…

The best people, probabilistically-speaking, aren’t inside your org. Similarly, the best content, probabilistically-speaking, isn’t inside your platform. So glad to see link positivity making a comeback. teapawt.net/nikitabier/status/1979…
We're testing a new link experience, starting on iOS -- to make it easier for your followers to engage with your post while browsing links. For creators, a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good. To help get better signal, posts will now collapse to the bottom of the page so people can react while you're reading. As always, remember: the post should stand alone as great content so write a solid caption.

4-6, 4-6, 4-6, repeat. 4-6 hrs of high performance per day, 4-6 days per week, for 4-6 yrs. Then enter a new domain and repeat.
4-6 hrs of high performance, 4-6 days per week outperforms 9-9-6 on longer timescales.

Are you a professional videographer / photographer? I’m looking for stories about managing gear, loadout tradeoffs, choreographing transitions in the field, and so on. 15 min informal chat in the next 2.5 days. Access to prototype product that emerges, too. DMs open.
