Late to the party. Here's my attempt on agent-assisted motion graphics

Poor people are fatter than rich people.
Poor people consume more data bandwidth in their media more than rich people (TikTok vs Twitter or just plain text)
I predict a time when token or compute consumption during abundance creates a new class difference
Same reason why you should just end every prompt with "make no mistakes" and let the agent cook
You can teach your son how to write, or you can teach your son how to tweet.
One brings far more success than the other
IQ is how well you can search and tell the truth.
EQ is how well you can search and tell a lie (and get away with it).

5 months late to find this
the reason why emotional intelligence is extremely rare is simply cuz it is expensive.
actually modeling another person’s internal state in real time is computationally brutal.. it requires suppressing your own frame, running a parallel simulation, & updating continuously.
the “inference costs” of eq in humans are likely much higher than the most expensive ai model in existence today.
you can just layer any of the following meme on Anakin and Obi wan and it will just work:
1. Zoomer vs boomer
2. Immigration
3. Left right heatmap
4. Housing
5. DEI
6. Education and career
7. Gender
Obi wan is pretty much the inversion of what every zoomer boy stands for
Telling people the truth is too much work.
It is easier to make up a bunch of BS, see what sticks, then learn to model the person's mind from there.
Once you understand this you understand horoscope
culture shock where SF-based developers, ivy league alumnis, YC-funded founders circle-jerking each other on X like its Linkedin
Meanwhile, solo devs from east Europe, Japan, and China posting banger alpha in a feed with 0 audience
I made a video on the cost-of-capital crisis among compute
the big issue is that compute are hard to finance as they are "ephemeral", and cant be inventoried.
the video shows a pathway to theoretical solution, which is fundamentals of debts and banking, and how compute can fit
Overall, what I think should happen is compute prices needs a way to be locked. That is how other ephemeral markets like electric was done.
next video could be another deep dive on how electric trading works

you can ask claude to build a visual semantic mapper as html, and it will attempt to extract, design, and build components for you
i think this is the next step after diffusion generated graphics
You should sell when you catch any employees in your portfolio posting Life in Corporate videos on TikTok
You are feeding your capital and liquidity for these people to LARP

>I’ve watched a shit ton of these goofy videos
>It’s pretty consistent they all roll in late, fuck around eating until 10.
>Bust out an hour of work, go to lunch, few more hours of work in the afternoon.
>Its not AI they are bloated with people not doing work.
aunt called me middle of the night asking what i was doing.
I was too ashamed to tell her i was vibecoding so I answered "gaming"
I made a video explaining how OKLCH works.
OKLCH is developed by @bjornornorn and has solved website theming problems for me, back when I was still hunting for hexcode palettes.
you should also check out his blogs on his engineering decision

You cannot offend someone who creates his own source of esteem.
You can only offend those who cant create their own esteem and wants other people to give it to them
Things are offensive because they are already offended.
They are offended because they implicitly know the truth that they suck and have done nothing worthy to be proud of.
Articulating the "offensive" string gives them the excuse to project their repressed grievance, then justifying it because somehow we established a specific string to be negative.
The solution is not criminalizing language, censorship, or having laws around what packets of information are allowed to be transmitted, because you are chasing a moving goalpost decided by the incompetent who will never be happy for reasons caused entirely by themselves
Somehow we never learn this lesson, and we kept putting rules on what can't be said in laws, religious scriptures, even LLM weights
