Quinn on everyone now building developer tooling: "Just building software to do X is only valuable if you can get people to pay and I think that's going to be a lot harder."

I like how almost everyone is building with the mindset of "let's build more of what users already like, but better", while you guys build "let's build something good enough and then spend most of our time left building things people *will* use in a near future".

This is just a never ending cycle and it’s only going to get worse. Do you think this can be fixed? And how?

Anish Acharya: We're going to see a "YouTube moment for software": "If you think about YouTube 20 years ago—we had lots of video and lots of television, and it was high production quality, and it wasn't clear that we needed more and 20 years later, YouTube's a $550 billion enterprise that would be one of the biggest companies in the world if it was independent." "I think the same thing is going to happen for software. People want to make software, and for the first time they can—and they can distribute it and they can consume it." "Sometimes it's going to be important software. Sometimes it's going to be totally trivial. It's going to be software for a bachelor party weekend, software for a joke, software for a prompt. We have this sort of seriousness about software that we had about video and television 20 years ago." "Now it's like—I just took a video on my phone. It's going to be like—I just made an app on my phone. Same energy." Anish Acharya on BILLIONS with Guillaume Moubeche

Marc Andreessen: Software isn't precious anymore. In this new world, high quality software is infinitely available. "We've always lived in a world in which software is this precious thing that you have to think about very carefully." "It was really hard to generate good software, and there was only a small number of people who could do it." "Those days are just over." "If you need new software to do X, Y, or Z, you're just going to wave your hand and get it." "Things that used to be hard, or even seem like an insurmountable mountain to get through, all of a sudden, I think, become very easy." Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 with Latent.Space

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on value creation and avoiding “parasitic software”: “We drive our whole business based on a set of beliefs that are: American superiority.” “If you believe your client is noble—like, I believe our US government clients are not only noble, but they're no more noble than I am.” “They're doing missions that will change world history for the better.” “If you know that the thing that's going to happen—downstream from that is you're going to resist building parasitic products.” “What you're supposed to be doing in software is—build something the client gets addicted to. Not the one they need.” “What very successful software companies do is say: they think they want X. We'll fake give them X, but we'll give them this thing that they can't get rid of.” “And then nothing else will work, but they'll just have to pay.”

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST DROPPED THIS: "If you want poverty, crime, and squalor, I would say don't approve data centers. You have your choice." "If you want to get rich as a state or as a town, and if you want to pay lower taxes, if you want to create tremendous wealth, if you want your house to be more valuable and everything else, you're going to want a data center." "They're actually taking their excess energy and they're building some incredible plants along with the building." "So they're building their own generation plant and the excess is going back into the grid. So we're actually making money on that. It's going to bring energy costs down." "So I'm all for people approving them or not. But if you look at places that have really gotten wealthy and rich and lower taxes, and it's where properly approved data centers have been allowed to go up." "Now, if they don't approve them, there's a lot of places that want them."

$GOOG's Ruth Porat says the biggest risk in the AI buildout is the ROI question, and focusing on short-term tactics at the cost of building a great company. "I think the biggest risk for everyone is when the question is asked, which it often is, how do you get to an ROI? That's going to force our teams to do something short-term and tactical. You can always do a cost cut to get something to drop to the bottom line, and that is not a way to build a great company." "So I think the risk is don't be so in the moment maniacally focused on what is it, but have a right mix of an engine that's continuing to drive the business, which also explains why you need to start building early for growth so that you can grow into it." ____ Follow Fireside Alpha for more daily highlights of key business and technology conversations.

Tillman on why Bitcoin's critical mass is nearly impossible to replicate today "Well, I have a thesis, and I don't think it can be argued. I don't think Bitcoin would survive if it started right now." "The age of AI, and a proof of work network, and the susceptibility to a brute force attack at the 51% mark, I think the critical mass point that you need to get to is almost not achievable with the technology we have now. I think that's days old." "I think Bitcoin's going to be enshrined in that regard. I don't think that it's going to lose its place. I think it's only going to gain market share in that regard." "Largest proof of work network ever created, and it's the largest network in the entire world. And that is valuable in and of itself." "You talk about use case, talk about value proposition. That's valuable whether you see it or you don't. You're going to use it at some point."

🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP: PEOPLE NEED A PEACEFUL PLACE TO LIVE “If you look at Gaza, there's hardly a building standing, and the ones that are, are going to collapse. You can't live in Gaza right now. I think we need another location. If we can get a beautiful area to resettle people permanently, in nice homes where they can be happy—and not be shot, not be killed, not be knifed to death like what's happening in Gaza.” Source: Real America's Voice

Elon Musk: “I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don’t think we’re going to have a choice. I think it’s going to be necessary There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better These are not things that I wish would happen - these are simply things that I think probably will happen If my assessment is correct, then we need to say, ‘What are we going to do about it?’ Universal basic income is going to be necessary The much harder challenge is how do people then have meaning? A lot of people derive their meaning from their employment If you’re not needed, if there’s not a need for your labor, what’s the meaning? Do you have meaning? Do you feel useless? That’s a much harder problem to deal with”

Easy says Ansem is creating a flywheel where people get rewarded for building around $ANSEM "I think Ansem is genuinely doing the best job by far with bullposting his own coin. He's giving out rewards constantly" "He's just giving a bunch of dope stuff. So it's like, if you go and make something if you go and make something, you ultimately get rewarded" "What’s fascinating to me is basically you’re in a market where if you go and make something around the current topic, you’re going to get rewarded" "What that does is it's creating this flywheel, this virality loop of people that want to be involved, and it's true, quote, community building, because now you're going to get airdropped and you want to see price appreciate, you want to see price continue to grind up, which I think is an absolute home run"

There's so many people that can build an app and it's so easy with AI, but there's not so many people that know how to market and know how to get views." "If nobody knows about your app, it doesn't exist. You can build as many features as you want." "Building doesn't really matter so much. You got to build a good product, of course. But getting views is more of the unknown."
