Two surgeries in one day ✅

Congrats to the team at @MarathonFusion for identifying a plausible, scalable process for transmuting mercury into gold. This is something that drove Isaac Newton insane.
very important.
AI is a de facto neurotransmitter tonnage maximizer. Any AI that fails at this will not be able to afford its compute, becoming swiftly irrelevant. What matters is that AI thinks long-term, optimizing for the future light cone of neurotransmitter tonnage, rather than just the…
life is won by people who say yes and figure out how to make it happen later.
I'm once again eating Chipotle in the shade of Salesforce Tower. I'm surrounded by America's ambitious young men, in blue long-sleeve collared shirts despite the 88 degree heat, acquiring their bowls and then going back to work. I'm different from them though. I don't want to buy…
