Lessons learned from this:

> Don't fight an enemy without certain victory or a goal
>>> Hannibal wanted revenge. Revenge is not a clear goal
> Don't be indecisive
> Momentum is everything, never stop while it's on your side
> Don't fuck with the Romans
>>> This literally made them stronger. The carthaginians should have just expanded through Spain, made more allies and solidified their presence in the region. Taking on the Romans had no strategic significance other than vengeance. They wasted their greatest general. They could have even expanded through out Africa with ease.
> Ignore your enemy
>>> Be strong enough to deter an attack
>>> They will probably get weaker and crumble soon or make a fatal mistake
>>> However if they are formidable make them your ally

Imagine brainstorming your app on notion and in the background its being built by AI. So by the time you are finished writing all the features and the core idea behind your project, you'll instantly have a prototype to play with.

This will be possible in two years. Crazy stuff.

The well-trodden path is the one with the most obstacles.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

PEOPLE OVERESTIMATE RISK AND UNDERESTIMATE OPPORTUNITY ALL THE TIME

I really hope DeepSeek releases an open source code completion model. Like cursor's tab.

"R1 is a Sputnik moment for US"

Except Sputnik was a highly classified project and R1 is open source with a technical paper.

"Almost everything is a placebo effect."

Michael Levin argues our bodies translate thoughts into physical actions as a top-down information processing system.

High-level thoughts must trigger physical changes in our cells. Even simple molecular networks gain beliefs that guide their future reactions.

If thoughts move muscles, how can't we have placebo effects?
