Stop trying to "lock in" and start seeing work as play.
The results will follow.

A hole on the Moon just turned out to be the front door to a 50 km tunnel.
Japan’s Kaguya orbiter first spotted it. A pit about 50 metres wide and 50 metres deep, sitting in the Marius Hills on the Moon’s near side.
Then JAXA pointed the probe’s radar underground. The echoes came back with something huge: a lava tube roughly 100 metres wide, running about 50 km, and still intact. No collapse.
Scientists think it was carved by volcanic activity around 3.5 billion years ago. There may even be ice or water locked in the rocks inside.
That’s why JAXA thinks it could become a lunar base. Shelter from radiation, micrometeorites and brutal temperature swings, all built in.

The funny thing is everyone was saying AI slop code will cause a cyber crisis but it’s actually all the old human slop causing it and the AI is just cleaning it up

You've gotta patch your dependencies super fast because they're full of vulns (PHP, Node, eMudhra, etc), but not _too_ fast because they're full of backdoors (LiteLLM). Good luck!

If we want to continue progress in science, we must be prepared to acknowledge that the correct description of nature will eventually simply be too complicated for humans to understand. I do not think it is wise to make human understanding a requirement. AI is the way forward.

I no longer see any compelling reason to believe that taste is some permanent boundary LLMs won’t cross. It’s already happening.

Technical moats are over.
The only moats now are:
- Rich parents
- Being good-looking enough for people to watch you make content for money
- Being funny

One of the most universal causes of self-doubt and depression: trying to impress people you don’t like.

I'm increasingly convinced that discretion is one of the most underrated traits in life. Not every story is yours to tell. And not every story needs to be told. Be the kind of person people can trust with something private. In a drama-obsessed culture, discretion has real power.

The evolution of going direct:
Distribution was scarce, so the alpha was in building an audience
Then every company started posting all the time, and attention became scarce
Then attention became exploited with bait and slop, so now credibility is scarce
And there are no shortcuts for credibility
