The thing we learned from Web2 is that the most impactful businesses became the most impactful by optimizing for addiction.

Which means we should all ask, how would you optimize generative AI for addiction? Whatever makes it the most addictive is probably what it will become.

Only people are illegal. This country’s immigration hypocrisy is undeniable.

the sun is shining; however, I am forced to be indoors. I am an earth-bound sisyphus.

I would kill for a lemonade stand lemonade right now.

I need to get back in touch with my hater roots. I've lost myself along the path of least-resistant peace, and I must scream now.

sometimes I feel like I missed my true calling of becoming a voice actor for video games/cartoons and stuff.

my voice can do some crazy things if any indie developer is desperate for some weird sfx.

I love it when I’m reading a poem and am momentarily stunned.

Like: Sorry, I’m rearranging my sense of self and the world around me because those words in that combination shook my soul like a magic 8 ball.
