The main point of Harvard is to learn how to learn. In theory, you should learn how to adopt faster there than most other places. Unclear if that’s true today — but tldr go find a problem and learn how to fix it. (Self-)Employment will follow

Would you trust an AI with your paycheck? Most of us will, soon. Not to invest it, but to optimize it. “Save me X% this month.” “Cancel anything I haven’t used.” “Renegotiate my internet.” Within a year, most people will give an AI full access to their spending patterns.

Having architected many of these sorts of deals before…this is scary. It’s awesome when deals like this are the cherries on top. It’s terrifying when they’re the bowl underneath it all

If you’re embarrassed striking out 3x in a game, you don’t have the mojo to hit a game-winning grand slam
A thing often in common among great startup investors, founders, and researchers: Trading making a lot of small mistakes in exchange for getting a few giant wins. (Surprisingly many people seem to prefer a few big mistakes in exchange for a lot of small wins.)

We brought in a private chef for our offsite. Mastery teaches fast: • Prep is the work • Details shape experience • Effortless comes with reps. lots of reps Protocols are the same: The invisible work is what makes everything feel simple. PS: He said he’d take equity. Craft recognizes craft.

my risk tolerance and the market’s feelings are rarely aligned.
due to market conditions I have decided to continue building
Soon you’ll design your home like a character in The Sims: • Pick land • Pick layout • The house self-assembles 3 kitchens? 9 bedrooms? Indoor sauna? Sure. The house becomes a variable. The land becomes the asset.
