After years of missing embarrassingly optimistic deadlines, my book, Optionality, is finally out in the world!
🚨 50% off during the launch period so get amongst 🚨
This is the best thing I've ever made in my life, by a long shot. Hope you think so too:

Noooo! Hadn't had any sycophancy in months, now getting glazed again on every other prompt. @OpenAI wtf are you doing??
Adding new vocab to Anki is so insanely smooth these days:
1. Highlight on kindle as I'm reading
2. dump into Chat and it generates translations, removes dupes, and turns it into an anki deck that I can import within 1 minute
I love this shit so much
just tried this prompt going around:
"From everything you know about me, write a short story with 2000 words tailored exactly to my taste. Think hard."
...it's one of the worst things I've ever read lol

I’ve already eaten lab meat, will eat it exclusively as soon as it is widely available and I - as a 41 year old woman - can currently do more pull ups than the average western man
Aight so ChatGPT 5 is incremental rather than a paradigm shift, but it still cost ~5x more to train than chatgpt 4. If frontier model costs are superlinear and there’s no strong moat, surely commodification is inevitable??
That would be great for consumers but I don’t understand what investors are thinking here. If there’s no big discontinuous breakthrough, what’s left? only thing I can think of is they’re betting on oligopoly/cronyism/platform lock-in kinda dynamics, which is not very inspiring 🧐

Japanese toilets often have an exhortation about cleanliness but this one is the hardest I’ve ever seen.
<Japanese>A soiled toilet reflects the filth of your soul.</Japanese>

There's this unfortunate thing where a lot of the most exciting ideas from EA just don't stick with people at all. EA as a movement has probably prevented a major war's worth of human deaths, but people just brush off malaria stats. Yet the shrimp stuff gets attention.
honoured to have one of the great poasters of our generation join us for book club 🫡
