"Let’s pretend you’re the only person at your company using cocaine.
You decide you’re going to impress your employer, and work for 8 hours a day at 10x productivity. You knock it out of the park and make everyone else look terrible by comparison. [...]
In this scenario, you capture 100% of the value from your adopting cocaine."
@jwz "I asked my cocaine agent and he solved my problem in just one try!"

@jwz There just aren't enough AI-related overdose fatalities for this analogy to really work for me.
@hairyvisionary @jwz The people who went crazy and suicided or killed their close ones?

@jwz I read the whole thing yesterday and all I could think of is “This is a cult”

@driusan You can even combine the two!
"Investors see hope in rich people's yacht money despite cocaine fears igniting a turbulent week for markets"
"Cocaine wasn't the biggest engine of rich people's yacht money growth in 2025, despite assumptions"
"The cost of cocaine slop could cause a rethink that reshapes rich people's yacht money"
"Cocaine is transforming rich people's yacht money -- not destroying it"
"Cocaine spending frenzy could reshape rich people's yacht money, CIOs say"

one of the best of its features imho, as well

@jwz
This prescient PSA! -
If you're not doing cocaine, you're going to be left behind.

@jwz I went to pay my credit card yesterday, using the BofA app to transfer from a BofA checking account to the BofA credit card account. The BofA app didn't understand that the BofA credit card account was with BofA. From now on I will be blaming these sudden stupidities on vibe coding.

@jwz We regret to inform you that the bellhop will hold you down and cram your nostrils full of nose clams beginning with the next release.
@theorangetheme @jwz We’ve heard your feedback and we’re delighted to announce that you will now be blasted in the face with cocaine each time you open the door!
