I think the pity and mockery stems from so many Europeans (usually institutions/"experts") dismissing AC's utility. The vast majority of the debate is not over the mechanics and logistics of deployment, but whether widespread AC is in principle desirable in the first place. I think it garners so much attention from Americans (and Europeans such as myself) because it's a vivid distillation of the self-destructive "degrowth" hysteria that is so prevalent and harmful in many European policy matters. It is the same impulse that led to Germany decommissioning its nuclear capacity, and it is a substantial contributor to the broader economic challenges of the continent.

Claude code was struggling and taking too long so I dropped it some code that works and it's using that. That's going to be a rare event.

@PalmerLuckey It would be delightful if you pulled an @elonmusk , bought WIRED, and changed the editorial tone to Technological Triumphalism. Then maybe do MIT Technology Review.

Offhand — * Vacillation on masks, with abundant motivated reasoning in every case. * Promulgation of made-up thresholds with no evidentiary basis (e.g. 6 feet). * Authoritarian delight in nanny state intrusiveness (policing the beach and such). * 180 on many issues around BLM. * Lack of effective response from science funding bodies. * Denial of aerosolized transmission. * Changing of trial readouts so that they’d occur after the election. (Confirmed to me by senior OWS officials.) * Crazy criteria for vaccine distribution. * Adamant insistence on vaccine efficacy beyond what was supported by data. * Almost complete lack of follow-through on OWS (on pan-variant vaccines). I’m sure there are more, but those are the ones that stick out.

A great recruiting pitch is Naval’s quote: be part of something bigger than yourself, but on your own terms. Joining is underrated for founder types. Once people experience what it’s like to be on an incredible team, they wonder why they didn’t do it sooner, if only to learn how to build one.

Some people aren’t just in big roles, they *are* the role. e.g. Tammy at Stripe. Solana at FF. Katherine at AD/a16z. For appropriate roles, recruit people whose natural inclinations fit your business and pitch them "be yourself, just with more support and a stronger platform."

Ironically, in tech things are moving so quickly that only the unemployed will be current on the tech.
