By now it's "in the ether" that the Simpsons predicted the CEO moment, even though several publications and the Simpsons showrunner @AlJean himself have commented on this: x.com/AlJean/status/… Unfortunately, it won't matter - the thousands of breathless tweets and…
I didn’t say this but I agree @TheSimpsons
Youtube at $1.65B Instagram at $1B Whatsapp at $22B All these deals felt ridiculous in the moment, and beyond prescient in hindsight
A billion-dollar offer isn’t crazy. Wall Street used to offer employees millions because they knew those employees would generate far more in return. Tech works the same way. Just with bigger numbers.
"This is obviously a moment of a human phase-transition, something that I believe will be the equal of the discovery of farming, or writing, or electricity. I think we should be very deliberate about it this time. We should think carefully about how it is that we do not allow…
the greatest lie that’s ever been told is that quitting / starting something is “a huge risk”

I mean, twitter could be exhibit A? I get that it has its own share of rage and clickbait but it also has some critical mass of people engaging in good faith conversation despite the existence of instagram, fb, whatsapp and so on. then you could def argue it’s not a “normie”…
what if, with growing awareness, people even if it is some fraction - and eventually platforms - can gradually move towards healthier consumption? With brainrot content prevalent hopefully an even bigger contrast can be drawn, and a more direct line of reasoning to why the…
kind of incredible to think how much of a massive, forced up-skilling has been triggered with the AI wave uniformly across all strata of society, all professions, all geos something like this has never happened before and probably never will again once-in-civilization event
