Not the same at all. “Make it up on volume” implies a high fixed cost that needs to be covered with scale. “grow margin as intelligence gets cheaper” means the business can be profitable at the same scale within 6-12 months.

This is no longer true. VCs still take warm intros, because it's the polite thing to do, but they only do deals that they chase outbound. The warm intro game has been optimized by YC and others, so it's no longer the signal it used to be. You need to get the VCs asking for.
Marc Andreessen on why VCs ignore cold emails — and why that’s not unfair. “The way the top-end venture capitalist firms work is they’ll basically take you seriously if you come in introduced by somebody they’ve worked with before, and they won’t take you seriously if you don’t.”

I feel like this has some interesting implications for prompting LLMs, but I’m not 100% sure what they are….
One extremely underrated weird lifehack is learning the etymology of words. You get root access for human language and realise most words come from hilarious origins. E.g. Disaster. Dis (bad) + astro (star) = bad star, because ancient people blamed calamities on the stars. So.

This is incredible. We’re entering an era of “vibe governing”. @Boardy_ai - it’s time to serve.
This might be the first large-scale application of AI technology to geopolitics. 4o, o3 high, Gemini 2.5 pro, Claude 3.7, Grok all give the same answer to the question on how to impose tariffs easily.
