prediction markets, humanity, bubbles, and space
I read a lot of random stuff. Link Dumps are the things I think are worth remembering. You can always check out my Link Dump Tag if you’re looking for even more to read and please forward to anyone else you think might find these interesting.
A guess at the future of AI where we won’t have all the coolest stuff, and some thoughts on AI literacy as well. Good post from Steve Yegge
A Mental Model for Agentic AI Work - this is a cool model for how to think about the agent
Schwab is doing prediction markets now which is an interesting “mainstreaming” of this concept.
We are building a telescope that will cover over 120 square miles. Neat.
Temporary AI accounts for Cloudflare work is an interesting guardrail. I continue to be impressed with how Cloudflare is thinking about and approaching the AI revolution we’re living through.
An analysis on raising competitive kids and whether it really makes sense. This is a thing I am ambivalent about for sure — I think competitiveness is important but, at the same time, I think there’s something to be said for not being so cutthroat or consumed.
Jason Pargin has some…interesting…thoughts on AI and humanity.
Cory Doctorow on the AI “bubble.” Some interesting thoughts, some stuff I don’t necessarily agree with, but overall I enjoyed reading his thoughts and prognostications. Time will tell I suppose.
Global Cargo Delivery in space with SpaceX. Neat, I think the more we see of bending space to our will the better it will be for humanity. Assuming it doesn’t become a thing for kinetic energy weapons getting dropped from orbit.
Should datacenters pay a carbon text? Yes. Next Question. I guess I’m overall a massive fan of carbon taxes but I suppose that puts me in the minority?
