Letter Meme

“I will say the thing that I've had the most fun with with AI and I find great is it actually is partially where the cartoons for this came from is I built a little personal news aggregator called Letter Meme”

book / recommends

Lessons From History

“Ooh, okay. So let me pull up my list because I got to pull up my Kindle for this. One is I'm reading right now. I got to admit, I like to make fun of Marc Andreessen a lot, but he recommended a book called The Ancient City, which is fascinating. And so I'm in the middle of that right now. I'm really enjoying it. Man's Search for Meaning is great. I'm just going through. What have I read recently? You know what's great? Area 51, An Uncensored History: The Top Secret Military Base. Not very Erudite, great book. And then I honestly think the one serious one I'll make a recommendation on is Lessons From History is one of my favorite books ever. I would really, really, really recommend it. It's a short read, but Lessons From History by Ariel Durant is probably the most approachable, non-obvious book I love.”

01 / observation

The reason is, but it's at least enough plausible deniability of semi-bad etiquette that leverages the social situation to be a better etiquette, that it's a useful thing to think about as a small queue.

02 / observation

You want to basically let people feel respected as much as anything else. So if you're too overt about it, even if everyone kind of knows what's going on, the key is to give them plausible deniability to themselves and the community effectively that we've wound down this conversation.
