Few rival, or even approach @Microsoft CTO @kevin_scott's technical track record, from engineering leader to patent inventor. And he's got big plans for the future. He's sharing his story at @southpkcommons Dec. 9th. RSVP ⬇️

They survived 25 hours. Can you? Hundreds of weapons, 40+ skills, and infinite builds await. No battle pass, no online grind — just a single-player game that refuses to stop evolving. Cat Girl Survivor is chaos, perfected.

This is a great read on the Minus One mindset.
Founding is an act of invention. The moment a founder stops pursuing the creative edge, they become replaceable. The Minus One mindset makes you irreplaceable. Here's why.

Even in Silicon Valley, most people think that AI Apps/Agents are built just on top of leading models like Claude or ChatGPT. The truth is that under the hood, more than 50% of LLM calls are actually made to cheap+open LLMs. This effectively means that Chinese models like

What is your two liner?
First thing we have new founders do at @southpkcommons is write a 2-liner for their company. No more than 2 sentences to sum up problem and solution. No run-on sentences. What's your 2-liner?

The first wave of products with any platform shift are not native to the platform's capability. It takes a while to figure out how to truly think in a platform native way. Zo is not another AI app. It’s an AI computer. It's a bold idea to reinvent the personal computer. This
today we're announcing @zocomputer. when we came up with the idea – giving everyone a personal server, powered by AI – it sounded crazy. but now, even my mom has a server of her own. and it's making her life better. she thinks of Zo as her personal assistant. she texts it to

It's been awesome to work with Kevin and Rahul from Day Minus One. True SPC story. Lots to build. Onwards.

Building things fast is fun. There’s a reason researchers are making the jump from academia to startups. Check out our chat at @southpkcommons NYC with @tnsainath (Google DeepMind), @jefrankle (Databricks), @stephenroller (Thinking Machines), and @awiltschko (Osmo Labs) ⬇️

Key detail here: bunch of these people joined SPC not thinking they would start a company, especially coming from research. Some then did end up starting companies, but it's not a requirement. Researchers, apply for the @southpkcommons Member Residency!
What do we mean when we talk about talent density @southpkcommons? This is the company you'll keep in the member residency. Why it's the best place to figure out what you want to build.

@southpkcommons Interested in the Founder Fellowship? Look to @thejamescad & @dbabbs. Each joined the member residency solo. Met and became cofounders. Joined the Fellowship to start @tryprofound. Many member residents join the Fellowship. There isn't one path into or through @southpkcommons.

When a company releases something that is so obviously underwhelming then the natural question is: “Did no one at the company see how bad this is OR did no one have the courage to speak up?” I’m not sure which is worse.

Such an important reminder. @southpkcommons exists because of @rsanghvi and her genuine belief that ambition grows when surrounded by an insane level of talent.
What is the @southpkcommons member residency? More likely you know about the Founder Fellowship. We're loud about it. But there's another way to join SPC. The original way. The Member Residency. The thing @rsanghvi started at our kitchen table. What's the difference?
