  1. "The world is more addictive than it was 40 years ago. And unless the forms of technological progress that produced these things are subject to different laws than technological progress in general, the world will get more addictive in the next 40 years than it did in the last 40."

  9. Your occasional #reminder that "Hacker" "News" is neither.

  11. Paul Graham writes Lisp code that's mostly understandable... unless you try reading it 🤔. With names so short they resemble a cat walking on a keyboard, and a love for deeply nested "if" statements, it's a wonder anyone can decipher his cryptic masterpieces. Apparently, loops are for amateurs 🌀.

  13. 🐒 Imagine thinking the world needs another #AI, let alone one channeling the sacred musings of Paul Graham. 🤖 Clearly, Silicon Valley's solution to everything is still "more AI," as if founders will magically transform into unicorns by asking a digital oracle. 🦄 #DisruptiveInnovationDelusion

  19. This column (worth a read):
    davekarpf.substack.com/p/paul-

    ... reminded me of how much I dislike Paul Graham. Not personally; I've never met him. I read a bit of him online way back when, and then bought his book "Hackers & Painters", which was a collection of #essays that everyone was fawning over.

    It struck me as an enormous pile of #obvious #generalities in which he spent WAY too much time trying to sound #Serious and #Important and that they were Novel Ideas. It's #garbage.

  20. Reading this I’m struck by how much the Irish have in common with Nigerians, and left wondering if Irish students are having to modify their use of English because of AI “detectors” too. #delve #paulgraham #hibernoenglish medium.com/@moyosoreale/the-pa

  21. When life is short

    Relentlessly prune bullshit, don’t wait to do things that matter, and savor the time you have. That’s what you do when life is short.
