Sam Altman calls it the most common failure pattern in Silicon Valley: "I'll make $100M in 4 years, THEN build rockets." they never do either. > everyone can tell you're not serious about either one > investors sense it, employees sense it > people of any IQ have amazing... show more

Proud mom, Maye Musk on her son, Elon Musk: “You know, with each stage, each project he took on, his ideas are always for the future, so people don't always understand it. When he said electric cars, and I said 'Wow, why would you want to do that?' and he said 'Climate change and we need to use batteries' and it made sense, but it still didn't make enough sense to actually build them. And he goes ahead of time. And then of course, rockets, now he launches more rockets than anyone in the world, all the countries combined.”

Indian real estate is in a real bubble, but it is not bursting any time soon. A lot of big people are involved in it, and they will never want that real estate to be in the hands of common people. It is a hub of corruption. It is a hub of black money, and it will never go away. You will have to pay 1 crore for a 2 BHK house, and you will keep paying emails for your life.

Culture is genetic because behavior is genetic. This beaver never saw a dam in its life. No beavers or anything else ever taught it to build a dam. It wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Many beavers together build a big dam. That is beaver culture. Humans are not different. Nothing is different. This is what life is. This is how life works. Your body is your mind. A caterpillar wants to build a chrysalis. A bee wants to build a hive. A lion wants to build a pride. You are not special. You are not above your nature. you are INSIDE of it. The thoughts that we think are genetic thoughts. The crimes we commit are genetic crimes. The art we create is genetic art. Just like this beaver, you can give the animal different sticks and it will build a different dam, but it will always build a dam. And you can give humans different "education," but the human will always use it to do what its genes tell it to do. This is the first big answer that you need. This is the biggest piece of the puzzle. This is how to understand people 90% of the way. You just... notice what they do, and get out of the way, and watch them do it. And if they need sticks, you give them sticks. And if you don't like what they do, you have to get away from them. You cannot train dam-building into them or out of them any more than you can with a beaver. A beaver wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Whatever you see people build, that's what they wanted to build from the sticks they got in the river they were in. Stop pretending you can change it.

Elon Musk says building terrestrial data centers is trivial next to reusable rockets, comparing it to the New York Yankees playing a little league team. "Let me tell you what rockets desperately want to do every flight. They desperately want to blow themselves into tiny pieces." "And then the engineering struggle is to convince the rocket not to blow itself into tiny pieces and actually deliver payload to orbit." "But you'll note that some of our competitors do, in fact, blow their rockets up." "This is not a reflection on their – this does not mean they're incapable. In fact, I think our competitors are very smart people, but despite being very smart, the rockets still blow up." "So now, if you apply a small amount of the engineering skill that goes into making gigantic rockets reach orbit on a regular basis, reliably, to terrestrial data centers, this is like, frankly, the New York Yankees going in and playing a little league team."

Elon Musk warns that time is running out: At most, there are 3 years left in which you can still make money selling your work. After that, AI will automate most tasks, and paying a person for their time will no longer make sense. The model of the last 200 years - "I give you your salary in exchange for your time" - is coming to an end. This will trigger the greatest transfer of wealth in modern history. Those who are already making the shift understand it. Those waiting for it to hit the news will arrive too late. In the end, what matters is not how much you work, but what you own. The smartest asset you can build right now isn't Bitcoin or land. It's an income stream that runs on AI and compounds while you sleep. One tool. 60 minutes. $10K/month. Here's the exact playbook ↓

"Where do I even start with Codex?" This 4-project starter pack fixes that: 1) Make a game. Then have the AI play it against itself in the browser. You'll feel where this is heading in 3 months. 2) Research Tell it: max effort, deep research on a topic. Then turn it into a spreadsheet. Then a doc. Then a presentation. One prompt chain. All four formats. 3) Build Upload your website's code. Say "build me a mobile app in Swift." It one-shots full mobile apps now. Every app that can exist, will exist. 4) Automate List every annoying thing you do daily. Pick the worst one. Tell your agent to turn it into an automation. Think: - Make = see the ceiling - Research = see the range - Build = see the speed - Automate = see the leverage You can't be told this. You have to feel it.

Look, you've gotta take 15% of your salary or any money you make cutting the lawn or whatever it is and you've got to invest it. What my mother did was never let more than 5% into any one stock and no more than 20% into any one sector. She didn't have ETFs back then. Now you can do this easily with an ETF, you can download an app. The key is have the discipline to save 15% from your average salary and if you start in your mid-20s and you have the discipline not to buy more crap you will be wealthy by the time you retire.

You're not beautiful. Your songs are mid. You have no common sense. You don't have fashion sense. Nothing about you relates to class. Even the inner beauty most ugly women often claim to have as a make up for their lack of physical attraction, you don't have it. At the end of the day, the difference between you and an average feminist we tackle everyday on this app is that you got picked as a wife by a rich and talented man. One day, Adekunle Gold will tell us what he saw in you.

The respect of capital. If you want to be wealthy, you have to respect money. You have to understand where it fits in your life. And you have to understand that the way to get rich is not to spend it, to save it and let it grow. This is the key to success. I've been saying it for decades. You save twenty percent of your income in perpetuity, put it into the market, and you leave it alone. You start doing it in your late twenties, even if you just got the average salary, by the time you're sixty-five, you have one and a half to two million bucks. Stock market does that. You do it. But the reason most people can't is they don't have the discipline to save. They buy too much stuff they don't need.

There is a pattern across all agencies where IT “modernization” contracts do not pay for outcomes/performance; instead, they pay for time. Therefore, the incentive is for contractors to “never finish,” resulting in incredible waste. As an example, IRS modernization started in 1990 to be delivered in 1996. Today, the work is not complete and the contractors say it’s still 5 years away. 29 years behind schedule and ~$15b over budget. Everyone loses, except the government contractors. This must change. This week, the IRS froze ~$1.5B in modernization contracts, none of which have any effect on tax filings. All of those contracts will then either be cancelled or the contract terms will be changed to pay-for-performance.

$Sam Altman just said the one thing no builder is supposed to say out loud. He is not warning you about whether AI works. He is warning you about what happens to you when it does. Altman: “Let’s say you build it, let’s say it makes all this money and does all the work… like, what do I do? What’s my kid gonna do?” A crisis of conscience from the man who spent years sprinting to build the very thing he now admits could hollow out human existence. For decades, the pitch was clean. Build superintelligence. Cure disease. Generate wealth. Automate labor. Humanity celebrates. Altman: “That’s clearly not quite resonating.” No. It is not. Because the architects of this future misread something fundamental about human biology. They assumed the root of all suffering was friction. That if you eliminated the grind, the struggle, the resistance, you would build paradise. They were not building paradise. They were engineering the most sophisticated cage ever constructed. Altman: “I saw an incredible post the other day that really stuck with me, which was like a ‘right to adversity.’” A right to adversity. That phrase should sit heavy in every boardroom racing to ship the next model. Human beings were not wired for comfort. We were shaped by opposition. Every civilization, every breakthrough, every identity worth remembering was forged against something that refused to yield. Remove the resistance and you do not liberate the species. You dissolve it. The real threat of artificial intelligence was never the machine turning hostile. It is the machine turning generous. Solving every problem so completely that the act of solving problems disappears from human life. Not a dystopia of destruction. A dystopia of irrelevance. But even that fear misses the deeper fracture. The machine does not kill purpose. It kills the disguise. Most people spend their entire lives calling survival a purpose. Calling a paycheck a mission. Calling routine a reason to exist. When the machine strips that away, it does not leave you empty. It leaves you exposed. Standing in front of the one question no algorithm can answer for you. The 21st century will not be defined by what artificial intelligence can do. It will be defined by who still has a reason to exist when nothing requires them to. The builders are finally asking the question they should have asked before the first line of code. Most people have not asked it yet either. The machine is going to ask it for them.$

Sam Altman just told you what OpenAI is actually building. Not a chatbot. Not a search tool. Not an assistant. Altman: “Go look around my computer… read my messages… listen to my meetings… intermediate my interactions for me.” That is not a product pitch. That is the CEO of the most valuable AI company on Earth describing what he personally wants. For himself. Every day. Read his messages. Listen to his meetings. Act on his behalf. Make decisions before he knows a decision needs making. Altman: “I don’t have to think. I don’t have to ask you questions.” Every model of AI ever built runs on the prompt. You ask. It responds. You direct. It executes. The human initiates. The machine follows. Altman is describing the death of that model. The agent does not wait. It already read the email. It already heard the meeting. It already knows what you need before you form the thought. You do not operate the machine. The machine operates around you. Then came the line that makes everything else real. Altman: “You can know everything about my life. Start suggesting more things I should build.” He is not asking the AI to execute his ideas. He is asking it to generate them. From his files. His history. His patterns. His entire context. The agent does not just remove friction. It removes the blank page. You never stall. You never run dry. You never sit wondering what to build next. The machine already mapped your market, your gaps, your momentum. It tells you what comes next before you think to ask. But the individual product is not the story. Altman went further. Altman: “Automated companies… where the AI can do not just coding work, but huge amounts of what it takes to run and operate a company.” Not fully automated. He was precise about that. But accelerated to the point where one person with the right stack does what used to take departments. The billion-dollar company did not reach that valuation because the product was worth a billion. It got there because it took a thousand people to deliver it. When an agent absorbs the work of a hundred of those people, the math of every industry rewrites itself. The startup that needed fifty employees and three years of runway now needs five people and six months. The company that took a decade to scale now compounds in quarters. The person holding the line between their data and their tools is not protecting their privacy. They are protecting their ceiling. Because the cost of this leverage is total transparency. You do not get the agent that acts without being asked unless you give it everything. Your messages. Your calendar. Your files. Your patterns. Your life. Altman is not hiding that tradeoff. He is building it as the product. The people who accept it will operate at a speed the people who refuse cannot touch. Right now, two versions of the future are separating. One where you direct the machine. One where the machine already knows. Altman chose. He is building it. The question is not whether this happens. The question is which side of it finds you.

An entire empire was overthrown over a two percent tax on a breakfast beverage. Look at what you tolerate now. You are taxed when you earn it. Taxed when you spend it. Taxed when you save it. Taxed when you invest it. And when you die, they tax whatever is left. That is not a system. That is a harvest. You commute in a car you paid sales tax to buy. You drive it on roads you were already taxed to build. You fill it with gas taxed by the gallon. When you sell that car, the next buyer pays sales tax on it again. The same car. Taxed every time it changes hands. You arrive at a job where your salary is cut before it ever touches your hands. If you work for yourself, you pay both sides. Two people on paper. Neither one keeps what they earned. Then you go home. Every bill you open has a government standing behind it with its hand out. You buy a house with money they already took their share of. Then they charge you property tax on it every year for the rest of your life. You want to renovate your own kitchen. You need a permit. You want to build a deck on your own land. You need a permit. You pay for the property. Then you pay for permission to use it. Stop paying property tax and they seize your home. Not because you missed a mortgage payment. Because you missed a payment to the government for the privilege of keeping what is already yours. You do not own your home. You rent it from the state. If you leave something behind for your children, they are taxed on what you were already taxed to earn. The same wealth. Taxed at every stage of your life. Then taxed one final time because you had the audacity to die. They found a way to monetize your absence. We are told this is the price of civilization. It is not. It is architecture. The most effective prison ever built is the one where the inmates believe they are free. They did not take your freedom. They priced you out of it. If you kept the full value of your labor, you would be free within years. Not decades. Years. The system cannot allow that. A machine built on consumption needs a consumer that never stops. You did not sign a social contract. You were assigned one. Now pay attention. They spent decades perfecting the extraction of your productivity. Now they are building the technology to replace you. AI is not coming for your job because corporations are greedy. It is coming because a system that already takes half your output just realized it can take all of it. Without needing you in the equation. You were never the point of this arrangement. You were the input. And the moment they engineer a cheaper one, you become a rounding error on a quarterly earnings call. They did not build AI to free you. They built it to finish what the tax code started. It was never about the tea. It was about the precedent. Today we hand over half our waking lives and thank them for the potholes. You do not live in a free economy. You live in a subscription you never signed up for. And the penalty for canceling is everything you have.

And the moment they engineer a cheaper one, you become a rounding error on a quarterly earnings call. They did not build AI to free you. They built it to finish what the tax code started. It was never about the tea. It was about the precedent. Today we hand over half our waking lives and thank them for the potholes. You do not live in a free economy. You live in a subscription you never signed up for. And the penalty for canceling is everything you have.

We spoke with Michael Mignano & Nir Zicherman about Oboe; a new AI-powered learning app that lets you build personalized courses on any topic with just a prompt. As Nir put it: "People do not learn in one path, and they don't learn with one format. So a core philosophy of ours is if you're going to build a learning platform, you have to learn it the way that people actually learn. And the way that people actually learn is multimodal."

The trades can build anything... except the software they run on. That changes today. We've raised $9.2M to build Dalton Mills. Software has spent its whole history getting closer to the people who do the work. First, the system of record. Software you stored your business in. Then, the agentic era. Software that did the work for you. Now, the bespoke era. Agentic software you build yourself, without code. Each era closed the gap and this one closes it for good. Software can finally work around your business, instead of you bending your business to make it fit. You ran on software made for everyone… never for you. That's over. Welcome to Dalton Mills. Let the builders build!

Peter Thiel on $NVDA (about a year ago): It is probably quite tricky. If you had to concretize it, one thing that is very strange is if you just follow the money, at this point 80 to 85% of the money in AI is being made by one company, it is NVIDIA. It is all on this very weird hardware layer, which Silicon Valley does not even know very much about anymore. We do not really do hardware, we do not do silicon chips in Silicon Valley anymore. I get pitched on these companies once every three or four years, and it is always, I have no clue how to do this, it sounds like a pretty good idea, but man, I have no clue, and we never invest. There is this theory that the hardware piece makes the money initially, then gets more commodified over time, and it will shift to software. And the, I do not know, multi trillion dollar question is whether that is going to be true again this time, or whether NVIDIA will have this incredible monopoly. I suspect NVIDIA will. I think it will maintain its position for a while. I think the game theory on it is something like this. All the big tech companies are going to start trying to design their own AI chips so they do not have to pay the 10x markup to NVIDIA. How hard is it for them to do it? How long will it take? If they all do it, then the chips become a commodity and nobody makes money in chips. So do you go into hardware? You should do it if nobody else is doing it. If everybody does it, you should not do it. I am not sure how that nets out, but probably people stay stuck for a while and NVIDIA goes from strength to strength for a while.

Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert. com, on the four things it takes to be really successful, and why the most important one isn't what you'd expect: He opens with a clear framework: "It takes four things to be really successful. Talent, you've all got it, as do many more people than you think. Hard work. If you want to be really successful, you're going to have to work hard. Focus. Zone in on what you're good at." On focus, he pushes back against the idea that you need to be exceptional at everything: "Understand, none of us are unfailingly brilliant at everything. So, find the thing that you're good at and zone in on that. And that is what will create your success." But the fourth factor is where his message turns unexpected: "The most important thing is luck. You can do everything right, but it still not work for you. And you need to know that now." This reframes how he wants people to think about setbacks: "Failing does not make you a failure. Do not judge yourself. See it as a way to learn and to give yourself a better opportunity the next time." Martin Lewis then challenges a common assumption about what success actually delivers: "Success can be stressful. Success is not a synonym for happiness. As you go through your working careers, at sometimes you may want to make a call. Do I continue to push that hard or do I smile at what I've got and enjoy happiness and the other things that life starts to give me?" He closes with a message aimed at those who do make it big: "One or two of you in here will make it really big. If that's you, remember of those four things, the most important one is luck. And that means if you're that super successful one in the room, you have a moral duty to give back."
