IO Nation – This is an announcement I’ve been looking forward to making for a long time. One of my original goals when co-founding the company was to make $IO the “currency of AI”. Today marks the next chapter in that vision—one that deepens our mission, sharpens our…
You don’t scale startups with vibes. You scale them with operational discipline. Daily standups, weekly team meetings, 1:1s, quarterly off-sites. Not because it’s fun - because it works. Solid foundations may sound boring. But winning isn't.
The AI boom is hitting physical limits faster than anyone expected. It's not just about building more data centers - it's about rethinking how we architect compute itself for exponential demand curves.
Exactly. AI isn't replacing human experience - it's amplifying it. I use ChatGPT 5-6 hours daily as a mental sparring partner, among other things. That's made me more creative, not less. Plug human curiosity into machine cognition and watch the ceiling disappear.
AI doomerism comes from a lazy brain exercise that nothing will exist post AI so we are pointless How many net new experiences did the internet, mobile and crypto drive? You have a god like AI in your pocket and you think humanity will be bored? Dream bigger
We simultaneously have GPU scarcity and GPU waste. This isn't a supply problem - it's a matching problem. The world needs more compute for AI, but a huge chunk of existing GPUs sits idle or underused. Whoever solves resource allocation at global scale owns the future.
Loyalty isn’t a branding stunt. It’s forged when authority listens. My ritual every week: one hour, senior team, no script. Only their struggles, ideas, doubts, dreams. Earned allegiance always answers in kind.
AI didn’t kill tech jobs - it created new ones. Headcount is rebounding, but the org chart looks nothing like 2020. Teams aren’t rehiring yesterday’s roles; they’re drafting tomorrow’s.
But, plot twist: The much-discussed contraction in entry-level tech hiring appears to have *reversed* in recent months. In fact, relative to the pre-generative AI era, recent grads have secured coding jobs at the same rate as they’ve found any job, if not slightly higher.
Books archive knowledge. Calculators speed up math. The web distributes both globally. AI goes further: it creates ideas alongside us in real time. When machines graduate from storage to synthesis, collaboration turns into a compounding loop.
The AI safety debate conflates two separate problems: technical alignment and democratic legitimacy. Nail the first but skip the second, and you’ve handed loaded weapons to a cartel. Solve this with transparent protocols, community-driven rules, and verifiable on-chain proofs.
Zuck’s building Manhattan-sized data centers. Why? Because centralized AI can’t scale any other way. It’s slow, fragile, and absurdly expensive. DeAI accomplishes the same thing faster, cheaper, and on a global scale - without needing to lay a single brick.
Zuckerberg says Meta will build data center the size of Manhattan in latest AI push; They plan to spend hundreds of billions It’s nuts how much they invest in data center
