AI is accelerating. Is anyone else feeling these pre-AGI vibes?
ChatGPT Pro – 10x more expensive, yet still a bargain?
Who is already using it?

It seems to me that with LLMs the case is: garbage in, garbage out. Assuming this is true, shouldn't the best LLM be the one that is trained with the highest quality, not the highest quantity of data – and, who is building this?
Why do we no longer find what we are looking for on the Internet?
Dutch and Brazilian farmers discovered using pesticides like teenagers use TikTok – obsessively and in concerning quantities. Meanwhile, India feeds billions with a fraction of the chemicals. Someone's doing sustainability wrong, and it's not who you think.
I want a search engine that EXCLUDES all media companies, SEO blogs, and “personal branding” blogs without any substance.
The challenge of the future will be to unite the logical (AI) with the intuitive (human).
If you wonder on the current state of Germany: It seems somebody retweeted a tweet that called a German minister a "moron" and the next morning at 6AM the police woke him up with a search warrant because of "hate speech".
We need public rooms to meet, connect, and debate. And I'm not talking about online.
The majority of the richest and most educated individuals in Germany predicted a win of Kamala Harris – even the tiniest common sense or spending 5 minutes of X would've helped, I guess.
AI and big data – and thereby logic based decision-making – will be commoditized. This is why I strongly believe that human intuition will be the big differentiator in the future.

Apple released the iPhone 16.
It's just another iPhone.
And that makes Apple the most risk-averse technology company in the world.
Apple focuses on refinement over revolution.
It prioritizes stability and incremental improvements.
This strategy minimizes risk but stifles innovation.
Can Apple continue to lead without daring to disrupt?
Today, the Apple surely didn't fall far from the tree-dition.

Steve Jobs was not in founders' mode.
He had a vision and was in Ruthless Asshole Mode!
The same is true for all the VERY successful entrepreneurs.
Founders' mode is a big politically-correct distraction from what actually counts: having big balls, a big vision, and being absolutely ruthless to achieve it.

Superb talk (10/10) by Rory Sutherland on why "Fast" isn't necessarily "Good"

Have a good start into the week!
Ideas should never be behind a paywall.
Can we increase productivity by splitting one full-time employed person (40h/week) into one person having two part-time jobs (2x 20h/week)?
Do we need decentralization for blogging or is self-hosting sufficient?
The U.S. reached peak wokeness in 2023.
The EU will each peak wokeness in 2024.

Contrarian opinion: It is a big misconception that the Islam somehow contributes to crime.
The safest cities in the world are in Muslim countries (UAE, Qatar, and Oman).
Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) is safer than Madrid, Graz, and Lausanne.
Antalya (Türkiye) and Kuwait City (Kuwait) are safer than Lisbon, Vienna, and Valencia.
Astana (Kazakhstan) is safer than Düsseldorf, Moscow, Sydney.
The unsafest cities on earth are all in Christian countries (South America, South Africa, and even the United States).
The problem IS NOT ISLAM.
The real problem is letting in criminals without vetting them via open borders AND then not even enforcing existing laws and deporting criminals and illegals!
The EU lets in ANYONE who comes via boat or by foot.
Why?
Let's start enforcing laws ruthlessly, just like the UAE, for example.

Nothing sparks curiosity more than listening to Hans Zimmer and looking into the clear sky full of stars.
Isn't electricity magic? You plug in a cable, and you illuminate your home, cook food, listen to music, heat your water, cool your home, and so much more.
I think it is a great time to start a new car manufacturer in Germany, close to the headquarters of (yet existing) VW, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi.
I think light pollution leads to atheism. And in reverse, that the most religious and spiritual regions today are in regions with a clear view into the night sky.
Previous generations of scientists were born under the fascination and curiosity of a clear sky full of stars.
It is unbelievable what you feel when you look into the sky full of stars, seeing galaxies, and planets.
It really makes you question the meaning of our existence. It shows you how insignificant we really are. How even more insignificant our problems are. How short our lifespan is.
It shows me that we are all one, unified humanity on earth. How stupid wars are. It makes me question fundamental physical theories, wanting to find a way to travel time and space. Explore further dimensions. Explore, meditate, pray, love, live.
