Having spent a lot of time recently with LLMs to improve written product, this is my take:
- bad and mediocre work gets much better
- excellent, unique work gets much more generic and worse
Therefore: the average should improve, but the best should remain in the human realm for

People don’t want to talk to ppl. But I think they’d be happy to think/command verbally their “co-pilot”.

Interesting how his entire career is about thinking original, non-consensus ideas from first principles, but in the face of a vote about fundamental values and beliefs it’s majority opinion that he values

I understand why people feel replacing Biden is harder/more pointless now.
But with his VP pick so straight down the Trump line, there is a real opening for a pair of compelling, competent, centrist Democrats to make the case that they can bring the country together with
Anyone else feel like a ZOOMbie™? (a person who walks down from bedroom to home office, and proceeds to back-to-back ZOOM until end of the day). I need a break!

This makes more sense. Obama is a political figure above a legal one at this point. And Garland would bring the hypocrisy point home as clear as day
You think VCs waste all day on Twitter? To prove you wrong, it’s 1am and I just finished a call with a founder. Oh, how did I know he wanted to chat, you ask? Bc I was scrolling here on my phone while in bed, duh

From a grammar perspective - awful
From an ethical perspective - terrible unless there is a clear understanding that this is what the employee truly wants and needs (also depends how it came about)

How can the people who most believe tech is eating the world and talent is evenly distributed also hold in their heads that you can only do this in a few specific cities (that they happen to live in)?

Few things anger me more in today’s discourse than mis-using the word genocide to accuse a people who experienced the textbook definition of genocide when the civilian deaths (devastating and heartbreaking) are so obviously a casualty of war

As a Venezuelan, I felt this deeply my first time in the UAE. In my birth country oil and other natural resources were completely mismanaged, leading to a tattered economy, unfulfilled potential, and broken lives while visionary leadership on the other side of the world led to
Human progress relies on leadership. Decisions matter. And while many country leaders squander grt natural resource advantages, the UAE is writing its own HBS case study in modernity, progress, and national leadership. And the momentum is accelerating.

25 years ago today I left Venezuela.
On one hand, I’m so filled with gratitude that this incredible country allowed me to achieve so much
On the other, I’m heartbroken and angry that kids (like mine) continue to be shot in school
Maybe that’s why I have a splitting headache

In Madrid it was like that last summer. This summer I went back and they have built designated zones and the apps won’t let you park if you are outside them. Game changer
A full menu of excuses: crazy busy / time zone issues / supply chain problems / COVID…. anyway the proper holiday card fell by the wayside in the 2021 triage
So to all our friends and family, you were NOT cut off the list and we wish you a very happy and healthy 2022!
We can debate if it’s capitalism vs socialism, democracy vs communism, etc. But after spending a weekend with 2 of my 3 kids away at camp I’m convinced China’s success can be attributed to the one child policy
