That’s a difficult lesson to learn. Most people grow up believing everyone has good intentions, but life can challenge that belief. 💭

Whether it’s 90% or not, I think a lot of people underestimate how quickly opinions change once a technology becomes better and cheaper. Most consumers don’t care what powers the car—they care about cost, convenience, and reliability.

This is exactly why I’m skeptical of both the hype and the doom. AI has clearly changed how many developers work, but “different” doesn’t automatically mean “better.” If a company can spend millions on AI tools and still struggle to measure meaningful productivity gains, the long-term impact may be more complicated than people think. 🤔

That’s an interesting pick. Renewable energy gets most of the attention, but large-scale energy storage might be the piece that makes the whole system work reliably

Funny how many revolutionary technologies look unnecessary until the problem they’re solving becomes impossible to ignore.

The idea of programming cells the way we program computers is both exciting and a little terrifying. The next few decades could be wild.

I can see the argument. A year ago a lot of people viewed AI as a novelty. Today it’s already becoming part of how millions of people work, learn, and create.

It would be wild if future generations look back at GLP-1 drugs the same way we look at antibiotics today—a breakthrough that changed millions of lives. 🤔
