zuck seems less like a visionary & more an extremely aggressive adapter who controls enough equity & has enough cash flow to act on adaptations instantly. that’s a different & maybe rarer (maybe even more admirable) thing than being right.

Ok, THIS is wild, never expected anything like this: Uber exited Nigeria… no warning, just shut down the app, on the spot. When riders were mid-trip ?!! This is what a startup that just went bankrupt would do, not a $150B corporation. Uber operated in Nigeria since 2014 (!!)

Reviving this account to say: Almost everyone at Vimeo was laid off yesterday, including the entire video team. If you're looking for talented engineers, there are a few on the market. Sucks to see something I built killed by private equity in a technology company skin suit.

Fable one-shotted a Rust rewrite of the TerminalTextEffects Python library in 11M tokens. Startup time went from 87ms to 2ms and rendering speed is up by 9.6x. Now zero dependencies and a 3mb single exec 🤯 t.co

It's objectively funny to see DeepSeek — an open source, high performing AI model trained by a Chinese startup for less than $6 million — wipe $1 trillion off tech stocks only days after Trump, OpenAI, and SoftBank announce their $500 billion Stargate boondoggle.

anyone trying to opportunistically cozy up to government demand right now is stepping straight into a generational perception minefield with both their employees & their customers. there’s no thread the needle strategy here. you are what you do, when you do it.

it'd be so poetic if elon buys paypal, strips it down to the bones just like twitter, & integrates back into x (his original vision which he got fired for). in another life, i'd love to be ceo of x pay, there is so much potential god damn.

waymo is doing literal on the ground sci fi w/ autonomous point a to b for humans & goods at scale (a *real* human problem since the dawn of existence) & the valuation is only 1/6th of openai & less than half of anthropic? that's remarkable. why wasn't i invited to invest?

in ~5 years there’ll be another marquee case, except this time it won't be personal diaries. it’ll be nine ai note takers, three auto dialed bots that you didn't even know were in the meeting, all producing perfect transcripts with timestamps everywhere.

let me get this straight in an alternate reality thinking machines gets scooped by zuck for ~$75b ~8 months ago. investors cash out, employees get rich, & everyone moves on. oh & scale ai gets no liquidity whatsoever. in this reality there is ~ only one winner, openai. fun.
