Notes on product, tech, and growing as a person.
21 billion Facebook friendships, one uncomfortable finding: the share of wealthier friends in a poor kid's circle predicts their adult income better than school, neighborhood, or parents. And moving doesn't fix it.

People want AI content labeled. But the real issue isn't AI — it's overproduction. Every time content gets cheaper to make, the same thing happens.
First it was curiosity. Then excitement. Now it's low-grade anxiety. The world is speeding up, and while you sleep, someone out there just found three more ways to use AI. Probably already shipping, too.
