Day 1055 and Shipping
All of startup world has spent the last few days wrapped up in the drama of OpenAI and why the board fired Sam Altman. A theory I’d like to float (seriously but not literally) is that we are in the middle of a massive scissor statement war between “acceleration” and “deceleration” and we’ve assigned Jungian […]
Aestheticization of politics is to 1930s :: Aestheticization of techno-capital is to 2020s Julie Fredrickson Does anyone have a Walter Benjamin AI agent I can borrow? I’m working on the above analogy as I believe we may be seeing a similar form of reactionary populism with techno-capital finding itself at the center of a similar […]
Day 1040 and Easier To Be First
I was telling a friend of mine, only somewhat hyperbolically, that I’d watched “Margin Call” forty times just this year.

In one of my group chats, I hang out with a bunch of rationalist machine learning engineers who are happily climbing the rungs of accelerating life. I really love the energy of the community as it’s centered tangibly around making things. It’s a little less talk and a lot more action. It’s got a bit […]
Day 980 and I Am Beff Jezos
Humans are horny for hierarchy. We are eager to give our power away as a species. Please will someone else just be responsible for making our decisions for us? Can someone point me to the person in charge? “Take me to your leader!” If someone seems smarter, richer, more capable, more aggressive, heck even if […]
