“There is no limit to the quantity of skepticism, paranoia, and pessimism you must brutally apply to your own ideas, particularly your favorite ones. The market will be harsher!”
This is an essay about great writing but its message applies everywhere. “People want advice on how to succeed, but they don’t like it when that advice includes a lot of time or a lot of work.
The antidote to envy is one's own work. Always one's own work. Not the thinking about it. Not the assessing of it. But the doing of it… [T]he work itself. It drives the spooks away.

Ava on asking for stuff
most of success comes from doing the mundane and often distasteful stuff, like identifying and dealing with problems and pushing hard over a long time.
from Principles: Life and Work by Ray Dalio
AI is aggregated human intelligence. So it’s better to call it collective intelligence than artificial intelligence.
Emphasizing the collectivity (something built on the commons) over the artificiality (a feat of technology) gives us an entire new way to see, perceive and relate to the technology.
