The belief that people are rooting for you doesn’t magically rearrange the universe. It removes the internal friction that makes you hesitate, self-sabotage, or project threat(s). Interviewers, dates, and audiences are usually just hoping the interaction goes well so they can move on. Once you stop assuming the opposite, your behavior changes, and the outcomes start matching the new assumption.
In a weird way, everybody is rooting for you. When you go to a job interview, the interviewer wants you to be amazing so they don’t have to look anymore. when you go on a date, the person wants to have an amazing date with you. If you make a piece of content, people want to see amazing pieces of content and they have no problem if it’s yours.
the instant you get into the mindset that people want you to do well, your entire world gets better. And you’ll be shocked to know this pattern keeps repeating in different areas of life.

You also need confidence
SI gives everyone an opportunity to test their chops at being a CEO. It's an executive function IQ test.
If you can't decompose a problem, write clear requirements, and verify results, you'll fail at managing agents.
And you'd probably fail at directing people toward a common goal for the same reasons.
SI exposes who can actually think like an operator and who was just riding a title.

Start leaning into creative passions
This is it.
Everyone is excited about AI.
I'm not.
AI is the biggest commoditizer of human capability we have ever built. Doctors earn more than cleaners because expertise takes a decade to acquire and judgment to apply. AI is going to make most of that expertise available to anyone, at marginal cost.
The gap doesn't go to zero. But it shrinks. And the same thing happens in almost every knowledge profession. Programmers. Lawyers. Analysts. Traders. Designers. The taxi driver replaced by a robotaxi is the easy case. The harder ones are people who spent twenty years training to do something a model can now do in a second.
The one corner of human life I don't see this hitting is sport. Nobody pays to watch a robot beat a human. The whole appeal is humans competing against each other. That's why nobody watches Deep Blue play chess anymore.
From an investing perspective, the next decade plays out in three phases.
Phase 1 is the buildout. Hundreds of billions in capex on chips, data centers, and energy. This is what's driving today's market.
Phase 2 is the deployment. Productivity rises sharply, then deflation sets in as the cost of knowledge work collapses. Jobs disappear faster than the economy can replace them.
Phase 3 is the social adjustment. Capital becomes more powerful than labor. The biggest winners are likely to sit where AI cannot reach. Real assets. Energy. Commodities. Precious metals. Scarce land.
And there's something deeper than the economics. The Japanese have a word for it: ikigai. The reason you get up in the morning. Your vocation. Your purpose. The work that makes you feel needed. AI is coming for that too. Nobody has yet figured out what a healthy society does when most of its members no longer feel needed by anything.
I might be wrong. I hope I am.
If I'm not, the world is about to change faster than most people are ready for.

The fact that this only has 5.9M views showcases how many early we are. @elonmusk and the team at @SpaceX are making the impossible ... possible. What a time to be alive. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/i/broadcasts/1yKAPMzlv…

This is pretty big news.
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

I agree with Demis. Frontier AI needs independent, adaptive testing before release. But the model is only the engine. We also need to evaluate what gets built with it, especially when children are the users.
My thoughts on the missing deployment layer:
1) A model can pass a frontier safety test and still power a child-facing product with manipulative design, weak privacy, unsafe interactions, or no age-appropriate safeguards. We need assurance at the product and deployment layer, not only the model layer.
2) The standard cannot be static. Tests must evolve with new models, behaviors, laws, and evidence about child development. That means versioned safeguards, held-out evaluations, adversarial testing, and continuous monitoring after release.
3) Trust cannot come from companies grading themselves. We will need independent governance, transparent methods, qualified outside auditors, and evidence that institutions, parents, developers, and regulators can inspect.
4) This is the future we are building toward with Halo: a guardian and verification layer for the products children use, beginning inside the developer workflow and growing into continuous, evidence-backed assurance for child-facing technology.

I'm seeing this play out more and more every day with people whose only interactions are primarily with the free or $20/month chat terminal of ChatGPT. I tell them, don't be afraid to interphase with a coding agent , which can also be done in a chat terminal. But for some reason it's too much to grasp, or they don't have time, or some other excuse because of years of stigma around how difficult it is to understand simple key strokes ... the gap is widening fast. I believe people who are even slightly curious, will find themselves further ahead than most. The window to discover a build leverage is now. If you don't , i'm afraid it will be too late.

We’ve reached AGI. Things are about to accelerate even faster and it’s about to take us to places we’ve only imagined. The world is not ready but maybe that’s the point. For better or for worse, strap in…
Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software.
It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans.

A thousand families and 250 school districts are suing Meta, YouTube, TikTok, and Snap over platforms designed to addict children. These trials matter. But lawsuits tell us what went wrong. They don't build what comes next.
We need more voices at the intersection of mental health, entertainment, and technology. Not just critics. Builders. People designing media that treats children's wellbeing as a feature, not a liability.
That's why I started Mindful Media. Not to sue the platforms — to build the alternative. Ethical media + technology designed for health outcomes, developed with clinicians, researchers, educators, and families.
The next decade of media shouldn't be shaped by the companies that caused the crisis. It should be shaped by the people building something better.

This is moving SO fast! I love it
Apple's Xcode now has direct integration with the Claude Agent SDK, giving developers the full functionality of Claude Code for building on Apple platforms, from iPhone to Mac to Apple Vision Pro.
