It's like... How long stuff has been around for.
It's like... How long stuff has been around for.
this is all just like different answers to the Fermi paradox thing. But to me, I find the problem with the Fermi paradox, which is just to reiterate, it's a given the size, the age of the universe, we'd expect it to be like full of life, even how like long stuff has been around and given how much there is. And there isn't. So then you ask, okay, what are some explanations of that?

And there isn't. So then you ask, okay, what are some explanations of that?
And there's a lot of good explanations. That's a problem. There's so many good explanations and they could all be true, but the result of all of them, is that life is exceedingly rare and you're unlikely to intersect with it. So that's what kind of bums me about this concept.

It bums you out because it would be nice to like... I don't want to die, but if I'm going to die, it's because of an alien invasion. I'm kind of down for that because at least I learned something deeply important for a few seconds before I get wiped out.

interesting okay yeah like i don't want to die in like car accident like it's done oh yeah no that's terrible like yeah like i want like if i'm gonna die at least give me some crazy existential moment okay yeah what's your like top three ways to die what would be i'm sorry yeah yeah no i got you existential dread and etc etc okay anyway so

No, I told you something that you can't repeat. Oh, yeah. It's not public information yet.
No, I told you something that you can't repeat. Oh, yeah. It's not public information yet.
Yeah, so the way I look at it is there's a new capability. Again, this is, I would categorize it in two categories. There is the boring parts is what we're talking about now. And this is the bet that society will continue to be roughly the same. And this isn't like a...

know truly disruptive like a totally disruptive thing um you're speaking to like the bolt-on thing or you're speaking to like the commodity of like foundation you're just talking about like building a traditional product but thinking through ai that's like a not very bold like way of looking at all this so part of me like doesn't want to engage with that because like i said i don't i don't believe so far in that it's like much bigger bet

but i believe generally that's where you should put your attention and things that kind of fall in that category that said let's say this this ends up you know not being that crazy thing and this is a way this is the direction things go so right now we're in the era of there's a new thing and nobody knows how to build good ux around it right there if you imagine when like the iphone came out

pull to swipe or sorry, pull to refresh. Oh yeah. Someone had to come up with that. And the moment they did, it was so obvious. I think we're like in that phase where almost every single product that added AI is just a stupid ass little button that's on top of other shit. And it's just kind of getting in your way and you're always accidentally clicking on.
