The Daily Loop #96
3 quotes, 2 short form tweets, 1 long form read and 1 piece of advice from me. Consume 2 minutes of information to help you advance your knowledge in different fields.
The Daily Loop newsletter focuses on information that can be consumed in 2 minutes every day by linking to posts across the internet, formatted in a way that is easy for anyone to navigate. In a 3-2-1-1 design (quotes, short-form content, long-form content and advice).
The goal is for as many people to read this daily and inspire them to think differently about certain things. It will primarily be around topics and industries I am interested in such as: startups, ai, success, innovation, change, crypto, nfts, etc.

When you are right, looking back in time is funny. It always seems obvious in hindsight. Patience and conviction in your thesis is all you need.

Try this out if you can. I think you need access to the GPT-4 API.
1 long read
This was a great read seeing how ChatGPT contributed to it. And “GPT works best when you’re able to direct it in very specific ways and be selective about what bits you use or don’t use.” this is true—probably not for too long. But then again if the common assumption is everyone gets good at writing, that’s the baseline, and the ones that get even better are now “good” (1x engineer becomes 10x engineer, 10x engineer becomes 100x engineer: they are still a 10x engineer)
1 piece of advice from me
Middle management kills big companies. And startups trying to scale and include that because of advice from VCs (who have never been founders) will regret it for a long time.
