“She started by laying out an array of pornographic images across his desk.”
Inspiring leadership: a woman tackling a dodged, culturally buried issue with practicality. Solving for, not moralizing. Production of, and mass exposure to degrading #porn causes harm. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Yes! Enable Dumbphone mode via a hardware switch: kill distractions and dopamine farming in an instant. That huge innovation plus the revolutionary supply chain they've developed over years. Amazing brand and product that's leading by example.
I missed the brand name - what device is this?
Two of the most reliable forecasters of past financial crises now put the odds of a 2008-level collapse in the US and other G7 countries at 65% within 5 years. Not a fringe take. Worth hedging against? archive.ph/74kX2

Sad: Android has a *hardcoded* 256KB clipboard limit while iPhones are constrained only by memory. $1k+ Android phones with 12GB RAM can't copy/paste long articles, but years old iPhones can copy megabytes. 90s Throwback. Open ecosystem, you say? #Android #iPhone #FreeYourAndroid
A cartoon illustration shows a stern British hunter in a deerstalker hat creeping through dense jungle with a shotgun. In the foliage around him, three anthropomorphic punctuation marks—a hyphen, an N-dash, and an M-dash—peek out nervously, each labeled with their name and wearing anxious expressions. The caption reads: “Dash Hunting in the AI Amazonas.”
There’s something out there, and it ain’t just hyphens. Love the smell of dead extraneous punctuation in the morning. #gpt I'm watching you
Shared a new AI prompt with the Lightmeter team: Immunity to Change Mapping. Helps surface why you’re stuck. I used it to unpack why I sometimes pick slower paths even when faster ones are clear. It came down to fear and identity.

I'm speaking at #MotionLab Berlin on Feb 11! Theme: early stage startup sales & #pivot ing. I love the venue: it's a manufacturing co-working and hackerspace that's been home to some of my best friends' startups, incl. Bearcover.de & TrueMetrics.io www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/fireside-c...
As the adoption of GenAI increases and models get smarter, is the value of human intelligence already decreasing day by day? All my async negotiations are now probably empowered by #GPT or #Claude on both sides. Whoever brings more human smarts now, has a devalued advantage Vs themselves in 2020
"AI will take our jobs!" - maybe, but first it'll take the jobs of the children you didn't have. Which is a good thing unless you want to work an extra 5hrs a week, and retire in your 70s archive.ph/OVIt9 #birthrate #fertility

80% of #VC & PE deals in #China include redemption clauses. When startups fail founders may be blacklisted, meaning they're barred from starting businesses, traveling, or escaping debt due to the lack of bankruptcy laws. “It’s not venture - it’s debt.” Huge competitive disadvantage. archive.ph/9c7xH

"Tech workers now account for 1/6 of the top 5% of salaries, up from 1/20 in 1990. No single group had this dominance in the past... Today almost half of the top jobs require an advanced degree. And a huge section of the population knows from an early age they’re not on that path". archive.ph/gc8NC
"What appears on the surface to be a flat trend in #inequality over 20 years, in fact masks a growing gulf... If the middle class looks upwards, the rich are pulling further away. A top-tier life feels further out of reach than ever. But look down, and the floor is coming up fast." archive.ph/gc8NC

The US offers many cities for high paid careers. In the UK it’s London or bust, but it's unaffordable. Under 50% of Britain’s highest paying jobs were located in London 30 years ago. Today that's almost 75%. Top salaries are far less concentrated in the US archive.ph/nTYbR
