Really enjoyed this interview with Bob Odenkirk, worth adding to your PL for sure www.youtube.com/watch?v=u50v...

Enjoyable vlog on Riker (as an OG Trek nerd I will never not click Star Trek TNG analysis) youtu.be/tML8IqvNCyc?...

This week's longform idea, we're talking about how you should worry less (research shows the vast majority of things people worry about never come true) www.hottakes.space/p/you-should...

Agree with this fully, I take the time to curate new music specifically to share interesting artists doing cool things with friends. Have curated >30 hours of tunes here, free and open to all -> soundcloud.com/adamsinger/s...

This week's longform idea, is on "The sword and shield of curious skepticism" www.hottakes.space/p/the-sword-...

This from @anildash.com is good, people love to work hard for great teams who treat them well and compensate appropriately. I always hated the media narrative that people don't want to work, because it's antithetical to everything I've experienced in the world www.anildash.com/2026/04/06/p...

This week's longform idea, we're sharing more evidence short form video is rotting your brain www.hottakes.space/p/more-evide...

New longform idea this week, we're talking about how NIMBYs are the real villains www.hottakes.space/p/nimbys-are...

New mix for 2026: "Shadows and Light" www.hottakes.space/p/new-mix-fo...

Today we're writing about the AI industry's narrative problem www.hottakes.space/p/ais-narrat...

This week on the blog, we're talking about the most influential crank in modern history www.hottakes.space/p/the-most-i...

I once got a DMCA takedown notice for posting my own song to a social network. They did reverse it but it felt really dystopian www.techdirt.com/2026/03/03/o...

Really cool product I found - all steel coffee maker that makes a full 12 cups. I've looked for years for this and someone is finally building it. The Chemex is cool and I use it all the time but this is def easier (and it's only $80) puresteelco.com

Fun conversation with @adamconover.net & @emollick.bsky.social always enjoy seeing skeptics and bulls discuss things amicably www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bDV...

Some of my favorite stories from this year ICYMI, I hope all of you have a wonderful break and enjoy time with friends and family www.hottakes.space/p/favorite-s...

two trivias about this video: 1. Soundtrack by @adamsinger.bsky.social 2. the colors are a side effect of the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption, that tinted the southern sky for several months with really crazy colors.

Json is so good at video work

Good video, I talk about a lot of the ideas presented here and danger of outsourcing all cognitive and creative work to machines on the blog all the time. There's no way you can do that without tradeoffs, in fact we have plenty of ex this is true in existing areas www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcol...

Big tech's war on hyperlinks continues. Build an email list from your followers on those platforms while you still can. The window to do this is shrinking, then may be gone forever. Eventually there will be a day you will reach no one unless you pay -whether it has links or otherwise

New on the blog - the easy traffic days are gone. If there ever even was any sort of internet social contract, it's been broken for years. You have to operate with this in mind and can't act surprised when tactics of the past stop working www.hottakes.space/p/internet-c...

This week's longform idea we're talking about how some friction in your life is good. Creative work isn't assembly line work. It's something different and transcendent. You want it to have real meaning, not just be faster and cheaper www.hottakes.space/p/some-frict...

If you don't yet feel disgust when you see people (or yourself) watching short form video, you should. Here's some research if you need it. www.hottakes.space/p/short-form...

Another very good vlog www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvwP...

Hard to believe that a few years ago there was genuine mainstream discourse about tech companies shifting to 4-day work weeks while today companies are bragging about “AI productivity gains” yet it’s all about 996.

Appreciate @profgalloway.com's ongoing effort to reach out to young men. If more of us don't do this there will just become more groypers and other extremists youtu.be/fcjmd_ClJJo?...

Good vlog www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFit...

Someone asked my thoughts on where AI actually makes sense, so we're writing on that this week. Both the permabears and permabulls on AI are wrong, at least when it comes to creative work. More below. www.hottakes.space/p/where-does...

This week's longform idea, I'm asking you to resist slop world - save your soul before it's too late www.hottakes.space/p/resist-slo...

Another attempt to try to and get everyone to talk to each other - why not? Discussion is good. Obviously with people who mean well, and I think that's most of us. www.hottakes.space/p/debate-and...

New on the blog ...I'm tired of spammers and garden variety stock promoters gaslighting us about creativity www.hottakes.space/p/you-cant-c...

Very much enjoyed the conversation with @ezraklein.bsky.social and Brian Eno. Worth adding to your playlist if you didn't listen www.hottakes.space/p/conversati...

This is a compelling read pabulummill.substack.com/p/no-one-has...

Some vibes for your Sunday soundcloud.com/adamsinger/a...

Relevant once again this week: you can't prompt your way to meaning. AI certainly isn't useless, but I find my personal fulfillment from creative work is equal to what was sacrificed to make it. More thoughts on this topic... www.hottakes.space/p/you-cant-p...

New on the blog, the inbound marketing era is ending (free traffic & attention was fun, but the party is over) www.hottakes.space/p/the-inboun...

"The web has cultivated an impatience with that weight of the past. You might even say that it conveys a hatred of the past." www.honest-broker.com/p/is-mid-20t...

This week's longform idea is on the latent cultural function of technologies www.hottakes.space/p/the-latent...

People are now openly bragging about blatant AI webspam operations. It's brazenly sociopathic, and incredibly dystopian. We've actually seen this movie before www.hottakes.space/p/people-are...

New longform idea for the week: your life is only bad if you can't commit to things, and we have a crisis of commitment in modernity www.hottakes.space/p/on-commitm...

What's really going on in marketing (it's actually not political, it's visceral) www.hottakes.space/p/whats-real...

Fully outsourcing your writing to AI is a slow erosion of personal agency and autonomy www.hottakes.space/p/writing-is...

“ChatGPT adoption did not reduce Google Search usage….people did not substitute their typical Googling with ChatGPT-ing. In fact, there was a slight increase in average Google Search usage after ChatGPT adoption” Turns out, people aren't morons and know to verify what the AI says

This week's longform idea, we're talking about rarity, and how this evolutionary quirk is used to sell you expensive bags people line up to buy www.hottakes.space/p/caring-abo...

This week's longform idea, we're talking about how domesticated humans will become. I'm not the first person to ask this question, but everyone should think more about it www.hottakes.space/p/how-domest...

welp, they've ruined microwave popcorn for me www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC2e...

New story this week, writing on the inefficient and fake market of media and influencers www.hottakes.space/p/the-ineffi...

This week's longform idea, we're talking about how 250K is plenty of income, you should feel rich enough on that (this would be classified as being in the .1% of global earners!) www.hottakes.space/p/250k-per-y...

No new story this week, but here's 10 you might have missed www.hottakes.space/p/recent-sto...

This week's longform idea, we're talking about the education trap - with access to the best people in your field just a click away, it's possible to get stuck in a state of constantly learning but never actually doing anything www.hottakes.space/p/the-educat...
