For those that truly know what the product role is, this is truly the best time as AI helps us build
Narrative violation: Product managers are benefiting most in the AI era
There’s been a lot of talk about AI replacing product managers (“who needs ’em!”). But so far, the data is showing the exact opposite.
There are more open PM roles than at any point in nearly four years, up 75% from the March 2023 low, and PM openings have grown faster than any other core product role since the start of 2023.

LeBron certainly made the right decision (or did he make Sixers look good)
1. Cavs at 5-6 and looks so lifeless & predictable. And old
2. MIA at 4-6 and looks clogged and misfits
3. Wolves tho looks good at 8-3

To write about renaissance like this AND I somewhat imagine it to happen. Crazy world we live in
After DOGE, Elon came to a conclusion most people missed.
He tried to reform the state from the inside. He failed. And he said it plainly: the government can't fix its own deficit. Nobody in power actually wants to cut. The machine protects itself.
So he drew the only logical conclusion. If the state can't be reformed, there are only two ways this ends.
Either global bankruptcy. Debt keeps compounding, interest payments eat the budget, and the system collapses under its own weight.
Or robots. AI and robotics grow the economy so fast that the debt becomes manageable, and abundance makes the old fights over scarcity irrelevant.
Here's the part almost nobody sees.
For two centuries, capitalism has had a marketing problem. Its gains are real but slow and invisible. 2% growth a year doesn't feel like anything. Your life gets better over 30 years and you never connect it to the system that did it. Meanwhile, the left's promises feel immediate and concrete: a check, a subsidy, a benefit. That's why the left wins on promises even when it can't deliver them. Capitalism produces the wealth, socialism takes the credit.
Robots break that asymmetry.
When productivity doubles in a few years instead of a few decades, people will see it. Things get cheaper, services get better, opportunities appear, in real time. For the first time in history, people will connect capitalism and their rising standard of living directly, almost instantly. The causal chain becomes visible.
And that changes everything politically.
So there are two scenarios.
Scenario one: we stay in the current inertia. No breakthrough, or a breakthrough we regulate to death. The debt wins. Living standards stagnate, then fall. A frustrated electorate turns to whoever promises the most, and that pushes toward a hard collectivist left. But collectivism fails, as it always does. And when it fails, the most organized, most disciplined collectivist force left standing isn't the old left. It's radical Islamism. Bankruptcy, then communism, then something worse.
Scenario two: robots win. Abundance arrives, and it arrives visibly. The link between free enterprise and prosperity becomes obvious to everyone. And this is the key point: it becomes obvious to everyone, including the minorities the left was counting on. Because their long-term incentive is the same as everyone else's. A kid in the suburbs gains infinitely more from a booming, abundant West than from a bankrupt state handing out promises it can't keep. Abundance is the most powerful integration machine ever built.
That's the Western renaissance.
The West doesn't need to win the culture war by arguing. It needs to win it by delivering. And for the first time, it has the technology to deliver fast enough for people to notice.
The race isn't left vs right anymore. It's robots vs bankruptcy.

10/10 quote from coach
Splitter: “I think we gotta understand, the NBA is gonna change now with the rules. Nobody is just playing guys, giving them minutes, and we’re gonna lose, we don’t care. You gotta win every game. That’s how you should be approaching. That’s gonna change how you develop players, because the importance of winning is greater.”
