this is a great example of how microeconomics can be applied to macroeconomics as well

birthday revenue is through the roof as you can imagine
Two side-by-side diagrams showing circular exchanges of value. Left diagram (from New York Times): Microsoft and OpenAI are connected by two arrows. A pink arrow goes from Microsoft to OpenAI labeled “$13 billion funding.” A yellow arrow goes from OpenAI back to Microsoft labeled “$13 billion cloud computing.” Right diagram (adapted version): “Friend” and “Me” are connected in the same structure. A pink arrow goes from Friend to Me labeled “25€ dinner.” A yellow arrow goes from Me back to Friend labeled “25€ gift card.” The right diagram mirrors the first to illustrate the same circular exchange pattern on a smaller, personal scale.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

My Neighbor Demon-Tiger
A digitally painted fanart of Kpop Demon Hunters. Rumi, a Korean pop star in her early 20s, stands under a yellow umbrella in the pouring rain outside a glowing corner store. Next to her is the silly blue tiger derpy, sitting in the wet street with no umbrella. The tiny, six-eyed bird Sussie sits on top of Derpy's head with a tiny red umbrella. The colors skew toward a glowing magenta.

the difference between 15 minutes and 20 minutes cannot be overstated. 15 minutes is basically 7-10 minutes and 20 minutes is basically 30 minutes

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

Google's like "Hey, we made YouTube videos take 5 seconds to load when you have an ad-blocker"

You know what takes longer than 5 seconds? Watching an ad!

I made a new sign I think I'm gonna get a lot of opportunities to point to in the next... forever

Very cool Casey, sounds like OpenAI's agent thing is extremely stupid and sucks and doesn't do anything interesting, and is also broken. Sounds like a really "compelling demonstration"
OpenAl launches its agent Hands on with Operator - a promising but frustrating new frontier for artificial intelligence How you feel about Operator will depend heavily on what you hope to get out of it. If you're looking for a polished virtual assistant to which you can confidently hand off shopping and research tasks, I suspect you'll be disappointed: at the moment, using Operator is significantly slower, more frustrating, and more expensive than simply doing any of these tasks yourself. If you're interested in the bleeding edge of Al progress, though, and want to get a sense of what the future could look like, Operator offers a compelling demonstration. Using it on Thursday reminded me a bit of the first time I took a ride in one of Google's self driving cars: half-baked though the product may have been at the time, it also represented an extraordinary technological achievement and seemed likely to shape our world for years to come. My most frustrating experience with Operator was my first one: trying to order groceries. "Help me buy groceries on Instacart," I said, expecting it to ask me some basic questions. Where do I live? What store do I usually buy groceries from? What kinds of groceries do I want? It didn't ask me any of that. Instead, Operator opened Instacart in the browser tab and begin searching for milk in grocery stores located in Des Moines, lowa. At that point, I told Operator to buy groceries from my local grocery store in San Francisco. Operator then tried to enter my local grocery store's address as my delivery address.
