It’s not a web friendly company.

Like, it's not the technology that's bad, it's the lack of appreciation for the unique value of human spirit and intelligence. I'm not afraid of probabilistic inference, but I'm terrified that we're spending $300 billion this year alone on the theory that machines could possibly make humans obsolete

The great filter was the Republicans all along.

This is some bullshit

I still can’t believe that a chat interface is the best we can do.

State of AI

There are two types of AI companies out there -- artificial and intelligence

What the hell are we even doing

Americans are so obsessed with the Epstein files, as if 100% confirmation that Trump is there would change anything.

The only thing it would change is tomorrow’s meme format.

Superman is the story of an immigrant who grew up in Kansas, landed a low-paying job as a reporter in Metropolis, and still had time for a hobby because urban housing was affordable.

It’s my main (and only) reading device for books. Immigrant life makes you choose carefully 😅

Such a nice business.

Having a lot of fun playing @sunderfolk.com with my wife. It’s a great game, I recommend 👍

But maybe the real Soham Parekh is the friends we made along the way.

Companies saying they just hired (and fired) Soham Parekh because of the latest controversy just want to ride the hype train to discredit remote work even further.

When I get old, I won’t tell anyone, but there will be sighs.

I remember people saying something along these lines about “Bush legs”, so if I’m given a choice between starving and chickoraptor meat, I’ll go with men boobs all the way! :)
