ChatGPT launches a $200 pro subnoscription.

This makes a lot of sense.

They only need 1% of their 300 million MAUs to purchase pro to have the money to train GPT5

I won't be surprised if Sora costs even more

They need to do this quickly, before everyone else, to capture the premium market

Paying $200 is good practice. That means your gonna use it to its fullest and launch your side project in less than a month to cover the cost. Big productivity boost.

Evolution creates problem solving agents

We are temporary metabolic patterns

The way nature decodes and encodes information resembles the auto-encoders we use for LLMs

Memories have Agency

Dissociative Personality / Multiple Personality disorder happens when agents go rogue and gain too much power

The mind is a master rationalizer. We will rationalize whatever knee jerk chemical reaction is happening in our brains.

One of the most fascinating podcasts I've listened to in a while

He raises an interesting question.

How is it that the memories of a caterpillar that undergoes Metamorphosis persist for the butterfly?

The caterpillar is literally getting cooked in its cocoon. It breaks down and reassembles every tissue in its body.

Yet somehow even when every cell is getting rearranged memory persists. The butterfly can still know what the caterpillar knew.

So there's only one way to explain this. Memories have agency. Not just that but they have a life of their own, they want to survive and adapt 🤯

That's not it, All cells have agency, every cell in your body is trying to solve a problem that guarantees its survival 🤯🤯

All cells exhibit neuron-like behavior 🤯🤯🤯

You are a musical symphony of billions of agents solving a problem 

You are the solution to a problem that has endured for Eons

When Elon moves from one place to another, he carries a whole economy in his wallet. An entire country can't create as much economic value as one man.

Truly Bonkers

the scale of tech 🤯

This is what happens to you when you don't build technology

Go build something on the nervous system of humanity

Listen to podcasts with background music
Try it | GitHub

On my long walks, I usually tune in to either classical music (+ Ethio Jazz) or podcasts. But last weekend, I had this idea: Why not mash them together? Like, why not listen to Andrew Huberman with Mulatu Astatke in the background.

[Insert any Podcast] + Ethio Jazz = Literally Heaven ✨

Fr Podcasts need to have background music. Spotify could easily add this feature. Just like they hire video editors they need to hire a film composer like Hans Zimmer

Anyways, after trying this out, I can confidently say I’m never going back to the silent podcast life 😂

Its too awkward. The music just puts me in such a good mood. Instead of walking I'm skipping lol

I built the web app with Svelte which was a great development experience. If you have never tried svelte and use react stack, watch this video, then try Svelte.

Also I tested out WindSurf's AI capabilities, it has really good agentic execution on tasks. Excellent for small tasks but can't build full stack apps yet.

Just like big LLMs are plateauing in their abilities I think we are seeing the same with ai coding agents. I don't think there is an LLM better than Claude Sonnet at coding and I don't think there will be any time soon. Its so good that the only thing holding it back is our inability to articulate what we want. It can't read our minds.

Google casually stating we might live in a multiverse 🤭

Maybe it's the same way our brains do computation. There's a book about this called Irreducible, which argues that we won't achieve AGI with classical computation, and how our brain queries the future, or according to Google multiple universes

I love this timeline

Also I should read David Duetsch
(The Beginning of Infinity)

20,000 years of technological advancement will happen in the next 20 years

The fact Vs Code is yet to make anything that can correspond to a response to Cursor, whom by the way forked their entire codebase, gives me hope

A small group can out maneuver and outpace a much larger group

The prize, whatever it maybe, is reserved for the small group that will organize best and act fast

When I say "Technology" this is what I mean

So you could pay your taxes ofc

The laws of physics are keeping me from realizing my full potential

you always discover the best features by accident 😂

v0 trained on svelte would actually be scary

Prompt: A swirling nebula forming the shape of an open eye, gazing into the infinite cosmos, with subtle hints of ancient symbols woven into the stardust.

I knew Joe would talk about this

This is like when cavemen discovered fire

"Wait it keeps you warm at night and cooks your food 😱"

In 20 years we will have simulated universes 😐

Also we might be in a simulation. Imagine what an alien species that's just 1000 years ahead of us would be able to build
