Had such a fun time chatting with @debbiemillman.bsky.social on her fabulous pod about all the things including why my life has been one big attempt to get back at Razorfish for snubbing, 18-year-old idiot me:

This blew up beyond anything I expected. The responses are surprising too: 40% says that, duh, this is already the reality at my job. Yes, at mine too. Another 40% agrees with some adjustments and different timelines. Then 20% disagree. Of those that disagree, some, of course, call me an idiot and that I only build CRUD apps and so on. Not surprising, it's the Internet after all. But there are two other categories of criticism that I find fascinating. One is that people say I work on AI and that is why I would predict AI to take over. The shovel seller says you should dig, is the criticism. I… Quoting @thorstenball Most predictions I see are still way too conservative. Here's mine Related

Loved talking with @daraladje, one of the most well-prepared interviewers able to go really deep. Especially loved chatting about the true nature of individual companies, and what it means to build the company only *you* could really build. Continue the conversation with my Delphi! delphi.ai
Quoting @daraladje We spend so much time studying how Stripe hires, how Airbnb designs, how Meta ships, how Jobs presented... According to @joulee, the useful question probably isn't “what do the best companies do?” It's “what are we unusually good at, and what kind of company should exist around that?” Julie Zhuo sp… Related

Had the pleasure of chatting at @spc Bangalore. So many great builders and electric energy in the garden city. Never been a better time to be an entrepreneur and build what you believe the world needs. Quoting @prateekmehta42 The best builders keep choosing the beginner’s seat. They move fast, break stuff and are unafraid of going after scary things! That’s the thread that ran through my conversation with @joulee, on her arc from @facebook to @TeamSundial! We talked about design taste, the leap from managing to founding… energy Related

From one piece
Sam Altman: "Never a Better Time to Do a Startup"
2 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
It is very easy to go take shots on Twitter and make a sarcastic comment and get a lot of likes and feel like you're doing something really important and sticking it to the man and being like, "Gary, haha, I got you, you idiot." Um, and and it will poison your soul. It is a morally bankrupt thing to do.

I mean, if you do anything that matters in the world, uh you will have a lot of people call you an idiot or just dismiss you. The more you do, the more the better you do, the more they'll attack you.

Martsinovich argues, via code snippets, that there is no such thing as a "conversation" with a chatbot. The AI is born anew every time it speaks, and it simply reads the dialogue so far and then tries to write the next line:

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
