Finding out @robotaxi isn’t driverless at 5am by seeing someone in the car at pickup… and they’re ‘not allowed to help with bags’ but are allowed to be rude af
Huh?! Also it leaves if ur 3 min late
Kinda baffled these AVs make some of the UX even harder than normal
This is my second time ordering one.
First time I left my phone in a Waymo and had to take an uber 30 mins to pick it up from a warehouse. After being on hold with Indian support for hours…??

the most successful people i know at 26 arent the most polished or the most detail oriented theyre simply the people who get the most shit done. didnt used to be this way. just an observation but the points that used to be awarded for “polish” are being tsunamid by sheer volume and efficiency. how much fucking pressure can you handle. how much work can you get done. how many baskets do you have your hands in and how capable are you of not folding. theyre not the most put together kids or the people youd expect to be great on the surface but holy shit their name is everywhere on everything and the work is just getting done and they just keep going and going and going and people love them for it. theyre machines.
I’m impressed by zoomer men in sf
in the absence of debaucherous culture,
masculine energy seems well nurtured
they’re independent
working crazy hrs
super passionate
many are sober
many are jacked
many are making serious money
most are single
feminine energy is scarce here
I can feel how mine moves thru a room so differently here
It’s weird
I feel both exposed & avoided wherever I go
women have become something to avoid for many men in pursuit of their passion
but somewhere between us
there’s harmonious passion
a world that’s ours to build and design with boundless possibilities
where feminine and masculine create things greater than the sum of its parts
I love that my feminine spirit feels extra necessary and magnetic here
I see that in the caliber of men it attracts. And the weak men it repels.
I am here to impart light, support, humanity, humor and beauty wherever I go.
No matter how much i suffer

You must believe you are special. Then go so f*cking hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. Wage a daily war against the ordinary outcome until the belief you invented from nothing, alone in a room, has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.
A robotics company that specializes in novelty entertainment machines.
A Halloween line of giant mechanical fake spiders, crawling severed hands,
for $299 you can scare the shit out of neighborhood kids for the next decade
That’s a properly sizable consumer market gang.
I know a male model in ny who LIVES to yo-yo all day and just happened to be blessed with the lethal bone structure to finance it. God bless America.
everyone’s focused on scaling taste, real ones know that greatness comes from likeminded, intimate groups given the opportunity to create, ideate & flourish together.
building The Salon. a private members club for people i’d actually want at my dinner table.
intimate dinners, spontaneous escapes, excellent company.
some things are better kept off the guest list.

Realizing that logic is almost always functionally irrelevant has been a rude awakening.
How things should be or what makes sense always loses to precedent, convention, and security.
I’ve still yet to see a good public campaign for AI.
They’re running like insurance ad playbooks on AI products.
Talking about AI as if it’s something you need in your life. Most people done even have even favorable perspective on AI
Most people don’t really know what it is or how it can serve them.
