Sam Altman on what he learned from Peter Thiel Sam reflects on Peter’s ability to come up with evocative, short statements that really stick in your brain (e.g. “We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.”): “I don’t really know anybody else who does that like he does,...

.Chamath Palihapitiya says President Trump is completely different from how he is portrayed by the media. "He is charismatic. He's intellectually sharp, and he's funny. And when you put that together, he can engage an audience for a long time and be totally extemporaneous. The other thing I would say is that he is very polite. And he's kind in a way that was disarming and was not what I expected." "And so I felt that I had misjudged him many years in the past. And so I was very glad that I had an opportunity to sit beside him and to actually interact with him one-on-one. It was really engaging." "It was not just a pro-America agenda, but it was very clear that he was pro-innovation. So he was really supportive of AI in the details that he talked about, he was very supportive of crypto in those details. And he's very much low regulation, low taxation. And so when you put that together, it does stand very much in contrast with what the alternative is." "So it's us talking, and he says, you guys are a really beautiful couple. And I said, well, thank you. And then he turns to me, and he goes, well, you must be really rich. And I started laughing out loud. Natalie thought he was hilarious."

Tucker Carlson: Remembering Charlie Kirk - A Life of Faith and Courage "Quickly about Charlie, I've known him since he was a teenager, and just an amazing person, but the two things that stick out, he's a Christian man. We talked about that a lot, including, you know, just the other day. There's a lot of pressure on public people, people who run huge, you know, hundred million dollar a year non-profits, and there are a lot of pitfalls and traps." "That's why so many of them are destroyed, and Charlie really did, without, you know, betraying details, like he walked the line for real. It was the topic of many conversations between us, because I've seen so many people destroyed. You know, most people are destroyed by power, and he wasn't, and I just really admire that." "I mean, to his last moments, you know, in order, he cared about God, his wife, and his children, and then his country. So, and that was totally real, completely real. I can affirm that, because I just talked to him about it so much, and I admire that, and he's a model, really." "I mean, he didn't have hate in his heart, and it was funny, and again, it's one of the reasons I couldn't stop looking at these videos last night. People were describing the opposite of what he was. He was filled with hate." "No, and if you talked to him about people who had attacked him, or who were truly his enemies, up to, and I think including the people who assassinated him yesterday, he would never, ever express hate, ever. He would always turn to, no, this person has been led astray. This person is clearly possessed by dark forces." "This person is a perpetrator, but also a victim of evil. I mean, that really was his worldview. That's the Christian worldview, and he expressed that in public, and especially in private, and I think that faith, which was completely real, not the fake faith that you see on display so often, but a real one, that was the root of his courage, and he had real courage." "He loved being with people who disagreed with him, not theoretically with them, but physically with them, you know, like close enough to smell. He would wait right in the middle of everything. I mean, I could tell you a million stories that I saw, but that was absolutely real." "Like, he loved people, even people who hated him, and people he loved, he was the rare person who was willing to tell them what he thought was true. I mean, he really believed, as a political matter, by the way, that, you know, I don't think he had animus toward anybody in no other country, but he really believed in his own country, and the obligation of his government to stand behind his country. He was truly America first in the nicest, most decent, non-ideological, but sincere way." "He was one of the only people, I mean, truly one of the only people to go to the president, whom he loved. He loved Donald Trump, like, personally as well, and I think the president really loved him in a real way, but he was one of the only people to go to the Oval Office and say, sir, I totally understand, and think Iran's really bad, but a war with Iran is not, you know, is something that could really hurt our country. I mean, boy, that was an unpopular position." "He didn't need to express it. Oh, of course, and he did it again. He didn't have some weird agenda. He wasn't mad at anybody. He was for his country, and he was for doing the right and wise and difficult thing, and he said that. He went to the Oval Office to say that." "He took massive, massive abuse from his own donors, which is also something that you don't see. He was one of the very few people, very few people I have met who combined a, like, a love for everyone involved with strong views. So, again, he was not animated by anything creepy or weird." "I mean, you knew him intimately, so you know this is true. If you talked to him off camera, he would say, you know, I really, like, I love whoever I'm talking about, but I think this is wrong. It's immoral." "It's bad for everybody involved, both sides, and he would say that, and he could say that because it was sincere. It was completely sincere, but I cannot overstate the amount of attacks he took privately over this, like, absolutely for real, and having lived in Washington most of my life and seen people run non-profits, I've never met one who was willing, stand up is too strong. He wasn't confrontational, but he would just say, no, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I think this is the right thing." "The people we represent, which is mostly young people, they believe this, and I believe it also. It was brave, but loving at the same time, and I'm not sure he made a lot of headway, by the way. I mean, I think he made real enemies in doing that, but his view didn't change." "Anyway, he's just a wonderfully decent, loving man. That is true."

Fox News’ Peter Doocy: “We don’t know what has changed, but President Trump—I just saw a clip of the interview… that they taped for Lara Trump’s show Saturday. He doubles down, he does not care about the midterms.” “Scott Bessent, today, said that makes him a statesman, because he has one core belief and it’s not letting Iran get a nuke. It seems that’s what they are going with so that has to be part of whatever this is. We just know what the red lines are, we don’t know how close we are to them.” Larry Kudlow: “He’s been unwavering… And when he says he doesn’t care about the midterms—I don’t know—I believe him.”

Sam Altman on the importance of momentum and why burnout doesn’t come from working too hard “I was told, and I thought for a long time, that you get burned out from working too hard. At least in my own experience, what I’ve found is that burnout actually comes from failing and things not working.” Sam continues: “Momentum is really energizing. The lack of momentum is super draining. And I find that I have infinite energy to work on things that I find interesting and that are working, and almost none to work on things that I either don’t find interesting or aren’t working.” He offers the following advice to startup founders: “I think you see a lot of founders try something and fail, and they assume that they just can’t work hard enough or don’t have enough energy or passion or whatever. And that’s actually not true. It’s just that that thing didn’t work. And what you should do is shut that company down, go on vacation, and try again.” He concludes: “When you look at really successful people and say, How do they get all those things done? It’s that they have the benefit of momentum. And momentum is energizing.” Video source: Y Combinator (2016)

Ticket to Heaven is belong to GeminiFourth Jimmy : “I think Gemfot still doesn’t know about this yet. Phi Aof is the kind of person whose mind is always full of ideas, no matter where he is or what he’s doing. Even when he’s just sitting and eating, he’s still thinking a lot. He comes up with ideas like this all the time. For this series, he got the idea when he went to Rome with JimmySea. He visited a church and thought, ‘What if I made a series about kids in a church? That would be great. That’s why he stayed a few more days in Rome to explore and really decide on it. Honestly, I’ve known about this from the very beginning. I heard about it quite a while ago, even though I still didn’t know the title of the series. But since that time in Rome, I already knew it had to be Gemfot who would act in it.” #GeminiFourth #เจมีไนน์โฟร์ท #Gemini_NT #Fourthnattawat #TicketoHeaven

I think the presenter is on to something big, but where I disagree with her is that she accuses African leaders and gives a subtle pass to African citizens. It is not true that African citizens were oblivious to what Trump or Epstein are. They knew, but they simply did not have the ability to think critically that when Trump talks about LGBT issues, it is not necessarily that he does not support them, but that he understood there is a group of foolish people out there who would buy into that rhetoric without interrogating why he was deploying it. Some of Trump’s best friends, like Peter Mandelson, are gay, yet some Africans were foolish enough to believe that Trump is anti-gay. He simply understood how human beings operate, that there are times when people fail to think, a tragic failure to think, and they just go with the flow. If you ask Africans today what they gained from the perceived homophobia that Trump projected, which we know was political theatre targeted at a particular audience, they will not be able to tell you. Trump might be many things to many people. I do not like him and everybody knows that, but the one thing I respect him for is that he understands his audience. He knows what to say when he is talking to foolish people. He knows what to say when he is talking to idiotic people. He knows what to say when he is talking to sycophants. He knows what to say when he is talking to people who do not understand the world of politics, and he gets away with it. And for that, I give it to him. He becomes a political superstar precisely because you then have black people in Africa supporting him. That in itself shows you the scale of political illiteracy that exists, where people rally behind rhetoric crafted to manipulate them, not to advance their interests.

DDP breaks down why he believes Sean Strickland has a better chance of beating Khamzat Chimaev than Nassourdine Imavov: “Strickland’s ability to get back up when he’s taken down... he does a very good job at that. Strickland is stronger than people think... I just believe he has this unique ability to make people fight his fight, and if you haven’t been in there with him, it’s really hard to figure him out in a short period of time.”

WATCH: CNN’s Scott Jennings goes NUCLEAR on Biden official Kate Bedingfield for saying both sides need to calm down and the left has NOTHING to do with the Kirk assassin’s motive: “‘Why did I do it? I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.’ He — he has a flat — that is — that is the message that the shooter Tyler Robinson sent to his roommate. That is what he said. He also engraved the word, ‘hey, fascist catch’ on the bullet. For ten years, we have heard nothing from the left but that Donald Trump is a fascist. Republicans are Nazis. Authoritarians destroy the Constitution. Bloodbath. Dictator for a day. And he wrote it on the bullet. And he’s been obviously marinating in some kind of information that radicalized him based on what he heard in the air in this country.” “Are you trying to equate [Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman]? I’m sorry.” “I’m here to argue. All I know is what the — the prosecutor said today. He read very lucid messages from a shooter who was motivated by political hate, who had a plan to get away with it. He did not sound like a deranged person. He sounded like someone who had decided to take it upon himself to rid the world of someone that he hated politically, that he thought that the world would be better off without. That’s different than some deranged lunatic showing up off the street.” “I don’t know that you’re right about what happened in Minnesota. I don’t.” “What I am not happy about is that we have the shooter's words. We know what he put on the bullets. It's very, very, very clear what happened here and there is a movement by some people to completely say, well, we have no idea. And we do.”

Sam Altman reveals building Codex was a "crazy kamikaze mission" to beat Claude Code and that most of the best coders he knows now use Codex. "We were way behind Claude Code, and it seemed like a kind of crazy kamikaze mission to try to beat them with a coding app." "The consensus is that this kind of thing never works, and you just move on to the next one. It's a fool's errand to try to win when someone else already has momentum in a particular product category." "But we decided we thought it was really important. We asked a team to do it, and they performed a legitimate, unbelievable, very rare in the history of business thing." "Now it is the product that most of the best coders I know use." "That felt like an impossible thing, but if we hadn't asked the team, hey, we have a really important but extremely hard mission for you, it just wouldn't have happened."

I don’t care what anyone says this is an incredible moment. And you can say whatever you want about President Trump, but you can never say that he does not love this country. Or that he’s not proud of it. He is and he shows that to the world and I for one love to see that instead of the apology tours.

Sam Altman didn’t ask Paul Graham for advice before launching ChatGPT because he knew exactly what he would say "This is like a meme for many YC founders, where you would go see him for office hours and he would say, ‘you know what you should do?’ And he would shake his finger.” “And sometimes the thing that came after that was great. Sometimes the thing that came after that was terrible.” “But the important thing was there is a creativity and open landscape and just, let's try a lot of things." “He really pushed the startup ecosystem into this world of, you got to ship a V1 you're embarrassed of early. And it doesn't matter if it could be much better. You'll get it much, much better because of the feedback to customers." “I don't even think I asked him before we launched ChatGPT, like, ‘hey, do you think we should launch this thing?’ But I knew what he would say. I knew it was still early. I knew it was still embarrassing. And I knew the right thing was to get it out and get it in front of people."

Elon Musk ex-wife Talulah Riley - Elon is the most emotional person I know. "He has a kind of innocence to him. What I mean is that he feels whatever emotion he is experiencing with incredible purity. Whatever the emotion is, he feels it very deeply. I have heard people say he is cold and emotionless, and that could not be further from the truth. He is the most emotional person I know. One thing I remember from very early on is going to the cinema with him. We were watching a comedy, and Elon found the film so funny that he literally fell onto the floor, rolling around and holding his stomach while laughing. Everyone else in the cinema was looking at us like, “What is going on over there?” I was saying, “Come on, get up off the floor.” But he was completely absorbed by what was on screen. He was feeling it. He feels things deeply. If he feels anger, you know it. Whatever he feels, it goes deep."

Everyone else in the cinema was looking at us like, “What is going on over there?” I was saying, “Come on, get up off the floor.” But he was completely absorbed by what was on screen. He was feeling it. He feels things deeply. If he feels anger, you know it. Whatever he feels, it goes deep."

.Naval: There was a story that I read about Elon Musk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something. And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.” And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust. And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it. Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes. Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy. He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.

stefan van de graaff, director of “one of us,” on casting kit connor in the lead role: “that's actually really kind of incredible story. so we knew that we wanted to cast around the lead actor, which, in this case, is kit. he plays a character named youngest. we wanted to cast around it first. […] we went to independent, which is the talent agency that kit is repped by in the uk, and originally, we had approached other actors. i had kit on my shortlist as people that i wanted in the film, but when i reviewed his work, i thought he might just be a little bit too young for the role. so we actually went and approached a few other actors first, and we had one booked, but he got really sick and—literally two weeks before we were filming—so we went back to independent and they said, ‘who else are you looking at? is there anybody else that we can put on?’ and i had, again, reviewed kit's work in the past, and i said, ‘talk to me about kit. i love him. i think he's a brilliant actor. i think he has just the right look. i think he's a little young.’ and his agent was just really effusive about saying he's the most mature person you'll ever meet. he carries himself as an adult. yes, he's, you know, i think he was 19 at the time. but that will not come through in his effort and his, you know, his capability. and so i had a phone call with kit, and it was very clear that he punched well above his weight in terms of his age. he's wise beyond his years and was extremely talented and thorough, and so, cast him, and that has ended up being a really, really incredible sequence of events because i absolutely loved working with him, and i don't think the film is the film without him. so it's been very fortunate.” 🔗:

“It’s always a great challenge going against the league’s best and he is one of the very very best in our league, he is a special talent. Definitely prefer him on my left side than going against him… I admire how competitive he is… Does a lot of really really good little things that takes years to learn in this league and he seems to have figured out right away. I keep saying I can’t say good enough things about him, he is a great player” —Connor McDavid about Macklin.
