Claim: gpt-5-pro can prove new interesting mathematics. Proof: I took a convex optimization paper with a clean open problem in it and asked gpt-5-pro to work on it. It proved a better bound than what is in the paper, and I checked the proof it's correct. Details below.

The “fixed pie” fallacy is at the heart of much wrong-headed economic thinking. There is essentially infinite potential for job and company creation. Think of all the things that didn’t exist 20 or 30 years ago!

Imagine if there was a company positioned to win big in AI who had 3.6 billion daily active users, almost $250B in yearly revenue growing 25%, almost $50B in free cash flow, and a 41 year old Mount Rushmore founder CEO. Oh that’s $META.

PolyAI has raised $200M from Nvidia & multiple top VCs. When we raised for the first time, we had no product, no revenue model, and no client. Why I quit building Siri to build the $100 billion company that will automate customer service

I *love* stories like this. * Founder starts a company as a Show HN in 2009.* * 16 years later sells it for $200M. * Completely bootstrapped. "I seriously don't think I would have been an entrepreneur had it not been for Hacker News"

$CRWD might be the only company in the world that can halt global operations for hours, weather the PR fallout & still deliver a Rule-of-40 score of 51 with a 97% gross retention rate. The product speaks for itself 🤯

I've been vocal that: 1) Best way to make money in AI rn is to build end solutions for clients vs trying to sell them SaaS (that they don't know how to use) 2) The prevailing business model of AI-enabled startups will likely not be SaaS This partnership is right on that thesis

Hyperliquid makes just over $100M of annual revenue per employee, or about 50x Apple, Meta, or your typical FAANG company. It's effectively the benchmark price for oil on off hours when the Iran war is kicking off, plus increasingly other real-world assets. Incredible arc.

1/ The first 18 months of a startup: After starting my 2nd company in 2019, I decided I would write down useful lessons I learned or re-learned along the way. Some were hard-earned & others required steady focus. A thread that I hope may help other founders starting out 👇
