Thrive to understand the technology you’re working with. Not just the concepts, but how it actually functions. What bits and bytes make it tick. If things are not a magical back box anymore, you can make better educated decisions on an architectural or strategic level. Always stay true to the actual soft- and Hardware running the show. There is no cloud, it’s just someone else's computer.

“the universe has 100% uptime if we are in a simulation they are a lot better than us at what they do bc we can’t keep something up for 100% of the time”
“if you think of Einstein as a startup his equation (e=mc2) the biggest breakthrough in history he has 8B ppl using his startup”
“the only way an AI can talk to someone is through encrypted transmission over the web we control the pipes the AI speaks through so an AI can never go rogue - basically it means if we knew prime numbers we would never worry about AI bc we control the pipes AI speaks through”

📚 From Loving What Is: Four Questions that can Change Your Life
"Loving What Is" presents a method of self-inquiry developed by Byron Katie called "The Work." The core of The Work consists of four simple questions that are designed to challenge and investigate our thoughts and beliefs:
Is it true?
Can you absolutely know that it's true?
How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
Who would you be without the thought?
By applying these questions to any stressful or limiting belief, Katie suggests that one can gain insights, clarity, and a new perspective on their thoughts, leading to a more peaceful and loving state of mind.
The book is about understanding the impact of our thoughts and beliefs on our emotions and behaviors, and it aims to help readers break free from mental suffering and achieve a greater sense of inner peace and self-acceptance.
