Massimo is possibly the single highest value follow on Twitter. I know that sounds like a big claim, but I can't think of another account that has more consistently interesting stuff.

What is it about renaming things that attracts idiots? Perhaps that it's the most superficial gesture possible.

**Response to @paulg:**

Now that I think about it, there's another and perhaps more important reason journalists like the adversarial approach: it's a way to compensate for their lack of domain knowledge. If they can't think of anything interesting to ask, they prod you with a stick.

**Response to @paulg:**

It could be that an adversarial approach is the only way to get anything out of a really hardened liar, like a politician or a criminal. But (with a few exceptions) people in the tech world are not like that.

**Response to @paulg:**

I think journalists believe that their adversarial approach is the best way to get at the truth, but it's clearly not. It just makes the subjects clam up. There's much more interesting stuff in these podcasts than in conventional interviews.

Listening to Jessica and Clevy talk to startup founders is much more interesting than listening to a conventional interview by a journalist, because (a) they're deeply knowledgeable about startups and (b) they're not trying to get their guests in trouble.

**Response to @paulg:**

Some of the forces at work: huge amounts of money, very smart people, national security, various Moore's Laws, that the thing we're making is intelligence, and that so much of its behavior is emergent. Few historical situations have been so unpredictable.

https://nitter.moomoo.me/paulg/status/1648277873269121024#m

I honestly don't know what to think about the potential dangers of AI. There are so many powerful forces at work that there's a wide span of possibilities.

**RT @mckaywrigley:**

The single highest leverage thing you can do right now is to:

1) Learn to code with Python.

2) Learn to use the OpenAI API.

Pick a night this week to learn the basics and try to automate just \*one\* basic task in your workflow with it.

You’ll never be the same.
