[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

When your working life rewards you, it’s easy to ratchet up the complexity: homes, cars, travel, possessions etc.

I have found that all that complexity comes at the sake of your most fleeting asset: your time. Instead of building things, all of a sudden you’re dealing with minutiae and logistics. Instead of talking mostly to engineers, you’re talking mostly to non-engineers. The building stops…the business of managing self inflicted complexity begins.

It’s worth noting that the best players in the game (Buffett, Elon) have kept their life extremely basic, almost monastic/nomadic, as success ratcheted them ever higher.

I think it’s the biggest secret hiding in plain sight:

When the world upgrades your status, downgrade your complexity.

In 2009, Stanford prof. Robert Sapolsky gave a 1-hour lecture on depression.

It's the #1 cause of disability worldwide.

He explains:
• Why pleasure disappears
• Why do you start giving up
• What's actually happening inside your brain

15 lessons on overcoming depression:

The biggest names in AI are betting everything on this.

Yann LeCun ( @ylecun ) — former Meta Chief AI Scientist, one of the literal godfathers of deep learning — left Meta in December 2025 after 12 years.

His new venture: @amilabs — seeking €500M at a €3B valuation before shipping a single product.

That's how much conviction the smartest people in AI have in world models.

Elon Musk Is Trying to Build God's Computer.

Terafab Is Step One.

How Elon Musk's Most Ambitious Project Yet Could Take Humanity From Civilization 1.0 to a Galactic Species🧵

12. From Austin, Texas to a Matrioshka Brain orbiting the Sun — it sounds insane.

But so did reusable orbital rockets in 2002.

The path from Type 0 to Type II civilization runs through chips, energy, and will.

Musk is betting he has all three. 🌍→🌌

11. The meta-point: whether Terafab succeeds on Musk's timeline or not, the vision it encodes is real.

Humanity needs an exponential compute expansion to cross the Kardashev threshold.

Someone has to build the base layer.

Terafab is a serious attempt at being that foundation.
