how about we make it into a celebration of doggos 🐶

Gas-powered cars are now under 50% of global vehicle sales…. all thanks to @Tesla.

Someone who provides large amounts of value multiplied by large amounts of people.

the algorithm is SO peak right now! @SpaceXAI cooked on this one so good

bring back having phases become obsessed with tennis for 6 months. learn everything about espresso. randomly decide you’re a runner. buy a camera. start cooking. you don’t need to do everything forever. sometimes it’s fun to just be really into something

Read this and now i don't know how i feel about it. Children didn't get expensive, they got unnecessary and that should terrify you. Here's a comparison that sounds insulting until you sit with it. Children are like horses. In the early 1900, major cities were drowning in horses. They powered, transportation, hauled goods, made economies move. People didn't keep horses because they loved horses. They kept them because they needed them. Then Henry Ford dropped the model T within a few years, the need collapsed not because horses got more expensive but because cars did the job better. Today, the only people who keep horses are the ones who genuinely love them, despite the cost, the mess and the work. An economist named catherine pakaluk argues children are going through the same transition and the data backs her up. For most of human history children met three needs nobody had to consciously think about. They worked in the fields, in the family business and in the household economy. They provided security. If something happened to you, older children kept things running and they were your retirement plan, not metaphorically, literally. Then machines replaced the labor, insurance and dual income replaced the security and social security replaced the retirement path. The need didn't fade slowly. It got systematically outsourced, program by program, technology by technology, until one day children were just optional. But here's the part that should actually unsettle you. Your grandparents didn't decide to have kids. That's just what they did by default. You're the first generation that has to actively choose it against a culture that models the good life as optimized, unencumbered and free. Behavioral science is unambiguous about what happens when something shifts from default to deliberate opt in. Participation collapses, no subsidy fixes a default shift. Japan tried bonuses, incentives paid parental leave for years. Birth rates kept falling because you can subsidize diapers. You can't subsidize desire. The fertility crisis isn't just an economic problem. It's a meaning problem. Ask almost any parent who genuinely loves their kids whether they'd wish they'd had fewer. Almost none of them say yes, So why does the story we're telling make it feel like the obvious answer is no?

check out @DailyJoyDoseHQ's content! His videos bring a smile to my face, remind me why kids are frigging awesome, and that the world is actually a great place!

I fucking love it when Spacexai (mainly X) teams say they will take MY feedback into consideration and mean it honestly. Like giggety giggety goo I'm going to see my thoughts reflected in your product in a few days? Fuck yeah!

Highly ambitious men need women who can love them through the times when they must disappear into themselves to unlock the next threshold of their becoming. Such men are rarely chasing success alone. they want psychic expansion, spiritual transformation, mastery, financial sovereignty, emotional command, and the transcendence through levels he was born in. Being with such a man requires transformation. You will be left alone for long stretches, because both of you are being summoned into higher versions of yourselves. His solitude becomes the furnace of his becoming, and your solitude becomes the chamber in which your own interior life is forced to mature. Ordinary people will look at this and call it neglect, or emotional starvation, because they understand love only through constant access. But in relationships like this, love is measured by growth, support and the mutual refusal to let each other remain small. There is tenderness here, but there is also pressure. Both people are building themselves, building each other, and building the life that will one day exceed them both.

I'll say it again, the opportunity in AI is NOT to remove all humans from every job, process, or even skill. The goal is to remove the FRICTION that is keeping us from doing our most meaningful work across an array of areas that we could not do before.

We started a new podcast. This is the 1st episode It's about metal casting and re-industrialization Full breakdown: 0:45 Why half your car is made of castings 6:07 The one part that CAN'T be made anywhere 8:41 How to prove demand before you can make a single part 12:25 Why casting was only ever for mass production 13:34 From 16 weeks to 21 hour production 15:45 What DFM is and why every engineer needs it 19:22 Achieving instant quoting for parts 32:26 $1,500 machined vs. $80 cast 37:38 Why he couldn't build in California 42:38 The average foundry owner is 67 44:57 What makes a manufacturing startup defensible

Current thoughts on @SpaceXAI: The moat for AI isn't the model. Instead of racing to build the best model when most users don't need one that good anyway, they are building compute and a great product experience. Compute makes money, gives them freedom to grow and make new models, and provides leverage over competitors. A great product experience gets them users and (WAY more crucially) data. Compute doesn't just make a little money. They're currently getting BILLIONS per month from it, but that's pennies on the dollar next to conservative estimates of hundreds of billions in a few short years. I didn't understand their strategy or short-term potential until I read those. Sources/inspiration: x.com/stevenmarkryan/status/… and x.com/stevenmarkryan/status/… among others.

See, I really like this account because, unlike all the other pro Elon accounts, he will tell the truth.

If there is a single person I am 100% sure I want to meet before I'm dead, it's @davidsenra. The amount of knowledge he has on how to be a great founder, how to be successful is unparalleled.

the amount of ads on Spotify is abnoxious. yes, @eldsjal is needed more at @Neko, but its still sad to see him go.

I dont know if its just me, but grok 4.5 low suddenly got MUCH better at design.

Elon Musk on learning:

the amount of pre-18 y/o people i see on X building products is insane, and its probably just the tip of the iceberg. Teenagers are vastly underrated.
