The naysayers are getting embarrassing. Every day, people are using AI to make incredible breakthroughs and answer some of the toughest questions around, like "what do I like about my child?"

I can’t stop thinking, tonight, about this Louise Glück poem, just astounded at how sad it is, and yet still how in love with the world

Reading is one of the best things you can do and costs like $20 for six hours, tops. In many cases it's free. The people who make it possible live in penury and the whole modern economy is organized against it.

I think this is a certain kind of psychosis that comes from the VC drive to "reinvent" everything from buses to ice-makers through the lens of tech capital. Like, every experience must now be 5 times removed from actually just doing it.
In San Francisco, you can't just watch a new movie. You’re invited to a VC funded screening. You wait to see if you get off the waitlist. You text your friends to see if they're going to the same one and no, not that other one that everyone else went to. You thank the startup (ty @ExtendHQ!) for hosting. You post online that You Saw Everything to humble brag that you went a watch party.

In NC-11, GOP nominee Jennifer Balkcom is airing an almost entirely AI-generated ad hitting opponent Jamie Ager for hosting drag performers at his farm in 2019. No AI disclaimers on the ad, which features fake footage of Ager dancing with a drag queen.

My experience partying all night at Berghain in Berlin made me think of how we're lacking this experience in the San Francisco tech scene. We can literally become the coolest, most tasteful social scene on Earth if we had our version of Berghain, but better. So let's build it. The best aspect of Berhain is how they select who gets in. The club has a vibe and atmosphere, and if you aren't wearing the right clothes or have the right demeanor, you don't get in. That's how you cultivate a tasteful crowd. We can improve on this by only letting in high agency, talented operators in the tech scene who can still pull off dope outfits, so no geeks. SF is in dire need of late night venues, and Berghain goes until 8am. That's a little too crazy for high net worth operators who are changing the world so we could do something like 2am. Berghain also is kinda dark and in a weird building so we'd put the club in a SoMa corporate office that we convert to speakeasy or barcade vibe. Maybe add a quiet area for people to bring their laptops and work? I honestly feel like we're improving on the Berghain form here, especially by swapping out the crowd of weird partiers in inappropriate clothes (or lack there of) with insanely cracked founders and engineers. I'm super stoked about this idea, SF tech could really run the dopest parties on the planet.

I am deeply fascinated by the modern right's insistence that "the elite" is a category that does not actually include the ultra wealthy who dominate society and dictate many of its laws, and is instead made up of socialist teachers, anti-genocide protestors, and "woke" baristas.
