build software companies
build productized service companies powered by ai
create a disgusting amount of free cashflow
buy s&p and real estate
make generational wealth
your kids kids fight over the lake houses
At this point convinced that success is just hard work x luck x unfair advantages.
and unfair advantages can absolutely be created. just need to be able to hack / finesse things
Going out for lunch today was a great break and honestly didn’t disrupt my “flow state”
It did take effort to detach from thinking about work but it was well worth it
Tldr; touch grass
Introducing BotOrNot, a generative AI party game where you have 30 seconds to decide whether you’re texting an AI or a real human 🫂 (yes, it’s live multiplayer!)
No further explanation needed. You know what to do 🫡
I really don’t believe in picks and shovels tbh. It’s nice but people can still build this stuff in-house for 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 cheaper if they wanted to (and they most likely will).
Better off building something incredibly unique like OpenAI with did GPT, and Nvidia with GPUs. Then
One VERY popular area of VC investing right now is startups building the “picks and shovels” for AI. These companies range from model fine-tuning, to observability, to AI “abstraction” (e.g. AI inference as a service).
The bet VCs are making is that as startups and enterprises

Please send me a quick message! DMs are open, and would love to connect people with wonderful opportunities
Finally, I want to thank everyone from
@midjourney
@AnthropicAI
@OpenAI
and
@nvidia
for creating much of the technology that Render is built off of — I can’t wait to see what we build from here.
Reminds me of how stress isn’t caused by overwork. Work is (mostly) fun
Real stress is caused by not taking action over something you have control over
Burnout is the result of working on something where effort and success are not correlated.
Burnout is not a sign you should take vacation. It’s a sign you should find another project or job because the one you’re working on is probably going to fail.
the ‘so claimed’ code leak of rabbit r1 only lasted less than 24 hrs on github and now it’s 404. when the rumors starts you guys spread without even validating. when the rumors proved to be just rumors, let’s not forget who’s spreading it.
Can consciousness exist independently of the physical brain? Is consciousness using the physical brain or the physical brain is creating its own consciousness?
The FTC just banned noncompetes that prevent most workers from joining competitors.
What do you think about this?
Companies & startups will be less likely to share confidential info & will probably find a workaround by offering shares or additional bonuses.
2021 was a year of learning. in 2022 i will prioritize consistency in most aspects of my life and make the CHOICE to be happy. something i wish i knew sooner: instead of money bringing happiness, being happy is a prerequisite to financial success. happy new year everyone!!
There hasn’t been a mass platform for the average consumer to create publishable games with ease yet. Creative output for consumers has been democratized in every industry, except for gaming. We’re here to change that by empowering gamers everywhere.
I think too many people think only of AI use in places where errors are not tolerated. It isn't good at that. LLMs hallucinate & make mistakes.
But for a huge amount of work, human error is tolerated, and the question is whether AIs (working with humans) make more or less
Exactly ten years ago today at NYT,
@ernestsdavis
and I warned about the “echo chamber effect” of AI contamination.
If only people had listened. We’re deep in it now.

We secured a YC interview last year.
My first thought on this was that we definitely aren’t there yet. I noticed that non-technical people still seem to struggle when it comes to even the *idea* of building something technical, so there’s clearly something missing.
But then I think back to earlier today, when my
LLM's are the best thing to ever happen to wordcels
Shape-rotators and matheletes are politically naive (which is why our elite institutions select for them)
AI will destroy the psuedo-"moat" mathematics has had since the French Revolution
and the wordcels will inherit the
If you’re looking to raise pre-seed, I can make some intros! comment/DM me if you’re a first-time or seasoned founder building in any of the following:
defenseTech
voice
AI
synthetic biology
B2B market networks
logistics
manufacturing
agriTech
supply chain
It’s easy to forget that the real benefit of pitch competitions is actually the people spectating from the audience.
My cofounder and I were approached by several investors and along with others building in EdTech - all before IntegrityAI was even announced as a winner!

Damn that’s crazy. I think I do this but with color associations. Like every number has its own color in my head. 7 is yellow, 4 is blue, 66 is green, 72 is orange & red
take a step back and look at the big picture. zooming out makes it easier to identify connections/relationships and sets you free from fixating on the unnecessary detail(s).
