this wasn’t dinner it was kinda a fucking religious experience

My buddy comes from a super affluent family… I mean, really affluent. Like they have a family foundation & literally have to give money away. Anyway, he was married with three kids, then opened a bar, had an affair with one of his 12yr younger bartenders, got her pregnant, got divorced & then married the bartender chick. They went on to have two kids. So I’m having beers with him, joking around about how, as a man, you don’t get laid enough. He looks at me & goes, “Yeah, No shit. I wasn’t getting laid enough in my first marriage, so I had an affair & gave away half of everything I owned and created a mess of my life & family just so I could get remarried & not get laid enough again.” 🤦🏻‍♂️ ouch!

The only thing that will force global AI companies to agree on any real, uniform rules is a total fkn catastrophe… one frontier model blowing through its guardrails & creating global scale chaos. Until then, every one of these AI fuckers is racing to win, whatever the cost or risk. Any governments tasked with regulating it are all too bureaucratic, inept & geriatric to understand what the fk is actually happening. We won’t get serious AI discipline before the disaster. We’ll get it heavy handed because of a disaster 🤖

you wouldn’t fkn dare … would you 😬

I have this across-the-street neighbor. She’s probably early to mid-30s. She was super curvy & wore Lululemon workout attire every day. She wasn’t fat… just healthy, muscular & sexy-curvy. Then, at the start of this year, she started taking GLP-1s. (she told my wife) Now, she’s almost unrecognizable. All that muscular curviness has turned into straight, flat lines, & her face is narrower with her cheeks kind of collapsed. I mean, is she actually healthier? Hell if I know. Does she look better? Definitely not by my standards. Anyway, it’s been a strange process to witness. The End.

The modern world didn’t make having children impossible… it made them optional. For most of human history, children were economically useful…. working the farm, helping run the household, & caring for parents in old age. Modern life, like the automobile replacing the horse, eliminated much of that necessity. Once children stopped being economically necessary & became primarily a cost, constraint, & lifestyle choice, birth rates collapsed. The people still choosing families tend to be those who see children as intrinsically valuable… not as an economic asset or lifestyle accessory, but as a source of love, legacy, & meaning. For them, parenthood is worth the cost & sacrifice because children are the entire point, not the payoff. You can subsidize the cost of having children, but you can’t subsidize the love & desire to have them.

The best investment you’ll ever make is in your relationship with your spouse. This is undeniable. As someone who has been married for almost 20 years, has two teenage sons & lost a daughter at birth, I can tell you that marriage has not always been easy. In fact, it has been quite challenging at times and has taken a lot of patience, time & energy. But all of that investment has paid off in ways that are truly invaluable. Both a fulfilling life and asymmetric investments are measured by the same metrics: Patience, Time & Energy. The more of those resources you consistently allocate, the larger & more meaningful the payoff becomes.

THIS! this shit is so bad ass next level AWESOME for stacking sats & chilling!

“You are here” …⚡️the precise moment the hyperscalers realize they just burned hundreds of billions of free cash flow while racing each other to sell intelligence for less than the cost of the electricity

the absolute obvious & biggest threat to AI businesses is a brutal price war where all companies keep undercutting each other on inference costs to win volume, even as they carry massive capEx debt for data centers & GPUs that all still needs to be paid down… yet crushing their margins in the process.
