story time. so i grew up coding at a relatively young age and met a bunch of other kids on the internet who were in the same bracket as us. we were all considered to be well ahead of the curve. some of us even assumed that it'd be like that forever. however, time is very…
elite private schools are mainly in the business of selling giftedness, in that the product is reassuring parents that their kid is staying gifted the truth is that we vary over time, and being ahead of the curve at one age does not guarantee we'll end up ahead as grownups
it’s over lads. who will provide the next biggest ai coding subsidy?
when the earthquake hit new zealand, the main source of marmite (popular bread spread in nz) became rare. at the same time, i won a little competition in school where the award was a jar of marmite. me, not being a fan of marmite, thought "why not try to sell this?" to my…
share a piece of investing lore about yourself
Movies have trained your mind to expect big bangs, huge decision moments, sharp before and afters when it comes to life and its events. But you have to unlearn it. When someone warns you that "something will ruin your life" or "you'll lose your soul" - there is no moment where…
we’ve gone through the following: - dating apps - app that lets you review people on dating apps - data from review site dating apps - mini apps former from review site dating apps vibe coding is going to make the internet even crazier and weirder than it was already and i’m so…
Spent about ten minutes “playing” this game. It’s just brutal. One of the worst things I’ve ever seen
something fascinating about the whole tea app drama. it's like realtime cyber warfare between two sides and each keeps throwing punches at the other. the thing is, that in the online arena autists have leverage over machines which means that these high stake games can end badly…
it's direction, not speed smh. everyone wants to move fast, no one wants think about where to go. the directions/pathways you can take are literally infinite and going at full speed means you can lose yourself down some rabbitholes. even if you say "i'll be so fast to go down…
there’s no “secret sauce” in software or research anymore. just speed. whoever ships faster, learns faster, wins. the only real edge is compounding attempts… engineers who’ve tried, failed, & tried again. experience is the only multiplier left & even that gap closes quickly to…
i actually don’t think we’re ready for what’s coming next. public humiliation on the internet was already bad with memes. now in less than 1 day you will have mini advertisement videos created around that *one* moment of your life, good or bad. no criticism here but more an…
We did it! We finally launched video ad generation with @BesteverAI. It's live on Product Hunt today ✨ Managed to get this ad for our friends at Ashley Madison We are a serious company 😅 Really.
can actually speak a little about this. all the “normal kid things” that most people go through help you live your life in stages that match your biological trajectory. when you drop out of high school to build b2b saas apps you’re a stunted human being and will have to do a…
tech bros not going thru the phases everyone does at 17 has done horrendous damage to the world
was speaking to a friend recently and it feels like human consciousness is… dying? you see it in eyes. dead everwhere or stuck in grandeaur of their online personas. child like curiosity, excitement and play seems so absent. when you do see it you want to capture and nurture…
The corpus of knowledge is no longer expanding. We are simply regurgitating the hallucinations of the labs, who want us to so desperately believe AGI is here. Human observation of an apple falling from a tree catalyzed more reasoning than trillions in compute. Read that again.
"Cognitive Imperialism" The real danger isn't superintelligent machines, but that humans accept a degraded definition of intelligence. We're forgetting what it's like to struggle with a genuinely hard problem, to experience real understanding. The corpus is no longer growing.
Dont know if I can think of a time an athlete at the top of his sport has been this open and honest about their craft
in a funny way ignorance and fiat go hand-in-hand. those that adopt an open mind and curiosity will financially outperfrom with crypto in addition to ai. the poor will be those who refuse to break out of the mental prisons they keep themselves in. higher.
The protest is Bitcoin. Everyone who has bought bitcoin is on the cusp of victory. Fiat nocoiners are fucked. We've been trying to tell you people this for years. The way to win is not to play a rigged game, it's to form and bet on a new one.
sequoia loves personality led growth *cough sbf*
Personality led growth will be instrumental to the growth of the next generation of behemoths. The single best CEO marketer today is @antonosika @lovable_dev. If your CEO is not marketing with personality and as a core part of their role; it will actively impact your ability…
turns out the answer to this was basically scaling with code rather than people. so bullish for the future of agents/asians
every layer of management justifies itself by adding process, every process creates more need for oversight, & every inefficiency breeds a cottage industry of internal tooling, consultants, & cross functional alignment meetings. what’s crazy is that this is actually considered…
my personal leverage metric is tokens burned per day. 6 months ago it was maybe 100k. today i burn a few million, outside of my coding agents. just need another few months and should be able to burn a few ten million. need to buy a gpu soon.
fun fact: all your open AI chats are being trained on if you have a personal account and have not disabled the setting by default!
this is some grade a gaslighting. PERSONAL ACCOUNTS do have the setting to have your data trained on BY DEFAULT!
