i think you’re confusing data labeling with being some kind of surveillance cashier.
you’d need to label the video data so the ai can understand and then be used at scale
in echo park for 15mins and girl next to me trying to talk her partner into monogamy and out of ethical non monogamy but my man’s is saying his austism will prevent that until he’s a father
What strikes me the most is his passing while on the road working.
The loneliness I felt while professionally DJing was such an isolating experience, how do you vent to anyone about a job or life that is viewed as the dream.
its not a novel take but crazy how much fashion (culture) has flattened. walking around nyc rn and the looks are more or less the same you’d see in iowa city.
girl next to me at brunch coaching her friends on how to talk to god but with like gary v energy. like how to growth hack your prayer returns. LA is back.
thought maybe I was getting 2 lazy for this new crypto cycle but realized I just don't care about meme coins the way I cared about governance experiments and incentive design
Spent the last 3.5yrs putting pieces together so that I could realize this very small step into a very fun future.

Lil Miquela has millions of followers, hit singles and lucrative brand contracts. But she's not actually real. Hear about how Trevor McFedries created this influencer and his advice for building authentic connection at scale on Masters of Scale.
“industry plant” gaining steam is interesting because it feels like young ppl are recognizing that at one point we had these networks where obscure things could surface “organically” across social graphs where they felt appropriate. (tyler the creator, lana, etc.)
I definitely don't have the answers but the only solve I found was a weekly meal with my best friends. Put it on the books / send the gcal invite and treat it like shabbat dinner. Only miss it for the most important travel, we need community more than ever in this lonely world.

Feels good that there is a recognizable mainstream forming. It was all so blurry for so long. Normie is getting some well defined aesthetics and to the normie they feel different and hip enough that they're persisting.
Music won’t require personal musicians in fifteen years and your favorite “artist” will be a personal algorithm, though you will still have your favorite generic public celebrity musicians
Cursed tweet but I've had good success explaining Defund Police to tech friends by using the unbundling Craigslist analogy. The police are asked to do too much, defund and redirect those $ to specialized functions.
everyone keeps asking me when I'm going to get a job and I have to keep explaining that making edits of Jocelyn's "world class sinner" from HBOs The Idol is my job
Sometimes when people ask about what working with Sequoia is like. I share an anecdote about how I was working on some really basic conversational AI stuff for Miquela and struggling to fix something and

So apparently a ton of heart-transplant patients experience personality changes. A lot of them adopt traits of their donor.
We have no idea why this happens.

My experience online is men saying how they cannot date / hard to meet women etc.
My lived experience is tons of talented beautiful successful women who cannot meet a good partner / one who will commit.
What's going on here?
If you're looking to start something in music I'd definitely speak to Michail. From Boiler Room to Zora he's had his hand in many culture altering moments.
1/ I want to start something BIG in the music space.
Something that allows independent music culture to grow and to blossom in a way that is sustainable and empowering.
The goal is to build something that is based on the following five priciples: (cont. below).
I've heard similar accounts from standup comedians, startup founders and others. We're isolating ourselves with work so that we can get that house in the hills and be even more isolated.
I had a dream I met Satoshi Nakamoto last night. He didn’t see me as just another player. Instead, Satoshi was proud that I was opening a new lane for

desperation has my art buds trying to learn from legacy biz best practices and i'm steadily talking artist friends out of lean startuping their art
the smart startup ppl aren't even lean startuping anymore
bullish and excited about AI but the former dropshipper charlatans have entered the fray and I'm starting to feel the AI noise creep.
probably will be forced to buy some AI tool to sort through the noise the AIs create only to end up in the same place i was before.
hey its me.
i'm scraping all ur midi riffs and then using this lil dumb app i made to find the key and scrolling through them on ableton
its like my own lil ghetto Arcade plugin
I asked it to scan the same transactions and find me one where I could get an easy refund.
From my email, it identified a United Airlines In-Flight WiFI Receipt for $36.99 from London to New York. It then asked me: “did it work properly?”
That inability to share or at times articulate the pain of such a romanticized experience with friends and family coupled with the irregularity of your "home" life made for a really dangerous flywheel.
reading this LA Times story amidst holiday convos w my midwest friends/fam really cementing this was an upper middle class recession.
my drywall hanging buds are doing fine. michelin star dining / jira buds are cutting back.
Of all the UK’s big 90s dance acts, I increasingly feel like Basement Jaxx were the ones, and don’t get nearly enough credit. 15+ years of unstoppable chart bangers, each album at least interesting, genuinely inventive live shows / collabs, packed it in before it got embarrassing
elon buying twitter to empower the right was such a giant miscalculation.
if you were extremely online pre elon twitter u basically saw the most annoying lib takes and every few months you'd see something about a pedo island with billionaires and think conservatives were insane
