I made a cuties. What should I do next @christineist? Vouch for friends? If I make one friend through this platform I will be extremely happy and I will tweet all about it. Also is there an app?

Had a rough few days traveling thru Malaysia. Polluted air, brutal public spaces, car dominant culture, extreme processed-food culture, and all I could see from the windows of busses and trains were palm oil farms and tracts of identical single family homes Oct 12	6	1	2	1	—	1,900
I feel like the relationship many people have to the concept of "The Economy" is the same as the so-called primitive mind to their rain god or whatever other supernatural force. It's a fuzzy, poorly understood thing that will punish us if we accidentally upset it Oct 13	5	0	3	0	—	1,400
Abt to head to a temple after lunch, waiter comes to tell me thru Google translate wait 20 min to watch a procession of people coming to the shop from a shrine. I tell him about my temple plans, he lives near there and is gonna give me a ride after the procession. ty universe 🤝 Oct 13	6	0	1	1	—	1,400
I imagined my ideal physical tech stack and Claude + Codex brought it to life. A WiFi/LTE/5G audio transmitter for LLM voice chats, a foldable handheld monitor (not a phone), & an air-gapped device for passwords and payments. Most satisfying thing I’ve made w/ AI.

Yesterday I finished an 11 day journey by train from Singapore to Chiang Mai, with many stops along the way. All legs of the Thai portion of the journey were on local third class trains and were about $17 combined https://t.co/rcehHXpCZI Oct 20	9	0	0	0	—	1,200
Stranger on the train gave me some peanuts. They’re purple, slightly sweet, and have the texture of a perfectly cooked chickpea. I guess they’re steamed instead of roasted? And maybe harvested early? Anyways they’re awesome. We’re tossing the shells out the window https://t.co/k1G7xpyChi Oct 19	5	0	2	0	—	1,200

Been thinking lately there’s a correlation between a country’s resistance to colonization and how interesting it is to visit (tho no disrespect to countries that lost to colonizers). They tend to have a strong national identity + coherent borders, not zig zags drawn by colonizers Oct 12	3	0	1	0	—	800
@ledflyd Interesting. Just looked it up and am realizing most coffee in America and globally is actually arabica. Maybe I am just used to drinking heavily roasted coffee and thought it was robusta bc the flavors are not as subtle Oct 23	0	0	2	0	—	700
@TVachaW Hi Vacha thanks for sharing this. Interesting take. Broadly speaking, how do you feel about the use of psychedelic plants and/or fungi in terms of their relative alignment with or utility on the Buddhist path? Wb others plants, like cacao & tobacco? Or non-plants, e.g. mdma? Oct 23	2	0	1	0	—	700

@noma_collective Have been thinking a lot lately that educating children seems like the number one thing limiting the numbers of digital nomads and/or making nomad life just a phase for most people Oct 13	2	0	1	0	—	700
There was also a sharp divide between indoor and outdoor spaces, with restaurants, hotels, and transit having tinted windows and blasting AC so you have to bring layers everywhere even though it’s 90 degrees out. Oct 12	2	0	1	0	—	700
@TVachaW Thanks makes sense. I read recently that a traditional Buddhist view is that certain beings, having attained divinity thru reincarnation (i.e. gods), are earth-dwelling, immortal, & can inhabit plants (like a bodhi tree). Sounds correlated with the idea of so-called plant spirits Oct 23	1	0	1	0	—	600

@hermitfriend I feel bad for girls that are stuck in it, feeling like they have to always have the right Pilates class and $10 matcha in their IG story. That would be a brutal hyper competitive matrix to be stuck in. Totally consumed by trivial signaling Oct 14	1	0	1	0	—	600

Ethiopia is another great example. Mountain kingdom that repelled invaders for 1000 years and preserved its ancient Christian culture. Nearly avoided european conquest as well (Italy controlled it for 5 years). Would love to visit someday Oct 12	1	0	1	0	—	600
Thailand is a great example. It’s like an ancient nation state. If it had been colonized I bet Thai script would have been romanized. Thailand also has awesome food and it has domestic music and entertainment industries. Oct 12	1	0	1	0	—	600

Like the coding bootcamps of the 2010s, I think we will have massive bootcamps for basic math and science in coming years, as there will be endless demand for humans to level up and evaluate the work of AI. That’s an exciting future to look forward to. Why? Oct 17	0	0	1	0	—	500
2. We’re going to need a lot more mathematicians: as AI generates plans for new physical tech with real physical risks, large teams of humans will be required to evaluate each new tech tree (because of course only humans can be held accountable) https://t.co/ANBfdH5KZL Oct 17	0	0	1	0	—	500
Two related things I read recently that give me optimism: 1. Coding is not solved: in short, AI can be held responsible but only humans can be held accountable. Companies of humans need teams of humans evaluating AI actions because of legal liability https://t.co/IWZJHqrwKm Oct 17	0	0	1	0	—	500

Iran: very strong national identity, great cuisine, diverse ecosystems, resisting invasion and manipulation by other countries for 1000s of years (tho also doing lots of invasion and manipulation). On the top of my list to visit if it’s ever safe for Americans Oct 12	0	0	1	0	—	500
Japan: nationalized in the 1800s to avoid colonization (tho it then turned around and became a colonizer itself). Best country ever to be a tourist. Everything is clean and safe, transit is a breeze, best food in the world Oct 12	0	0	1	0	—	500

People talk about c.1900-1970 as a period of major economic growth due to low-hanging-fruit innovation from discoveries in physics. Seems like we're in a new era of low hanging fruit where LLMs generate way more useful knowledge than a single company can operationalize Oct 23	1	0	0	0	—	400

Basically: if you don’t want to work, fine, bc AI makes everything ridiculously cheap. If you do want to work, great. You can get paid to learn more math and physics or whatever area of STEM you’re interested in so you can go work with a team of humans to evaluate new tech trees Oct 17	1	0	0	0	—	400
Looked into it. Hard to make sense of. The few existing studies show anywhere between 2-400x and most studies only look for certain particles, like >10 microns, >1 micron, or <100nm. No obvious correlation with the total increase in particle count & the size of particle studied https://t.co/g2w19GjgB5 Oct 14	1	0	0	0	—	400
