Claude Code made me the CRM I've wanted for ten years. Automatically updates from text messages, email, iPhoto, calendar, etc. Shows all interactions in one place.

Most of us have decades of data on interactions with thousands of people that just sits there unused.

I call it Palantini - as in a tiny Palantir.

🧵1/7 I can do arbitrary analytics, like these graphs of all my relationships as they rise and fall over time:

I’m scared of AGI. It's confusing how people can be so dismissive of the risks.

I’m an investor in two AGI companies and friends with dozens of researchers working at DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Brain. Almost all of them are worried.

Reading a great summary of survey on economic literacy.

"If you compare otherwise identical individuals with very different income levels, their average degree of economic literacy is about the same."

1/ Sorry New York Times, I decline to be interviewed.

The harassment of @bariweiss and Scott Alexander are only two of the more recent reasons I no longer trust your paper. Helping elect Donald Trump is another. I encourage others in tech to #BoycottTheNYT 2/ The data makes it plain that the NYT has abandoned its commitment to nonpartisan reporting. When the internet threatened their business they made a devil’s bargain to amplify outrage and us-vs-them psychology. Racism wasn't a new problem in 2014 but their stock being down was.

Here's the script for an episode of Spongebob Squarepants written by William Shakespeare. It's similar in style to MacBeth.

Enter Spongebob.

[AI from here:]
Spongebob: To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; no more. And by a sleep to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.
