How to Build an AI-Native Cult: Assignations with Hachards

I'm curious how long FOMO and hype could last and whether intense competition is ultimately harmful or harmless. It's about culture, and it's about how to become a cult. But ultimately, retention is key, and retention is built on sustained presence.

Ultimately, real connections are built through the community the cult sees.

Before cryptocurrencies, one of my greatest achievements was analyzing stocks and companies digitally. I was curious about how they were manufactured and assembled, how the systems were built, and most importantly, how they worked.

In what environment do they operate? This reminds me of Hachards on Piccadilly Street, which was more than just a bookstore; it was a place where you could truly connect with people.

The rich history and the unvarnished past are enough to dispel any doubts I may have about the world I'm about to describe. Although the bookshelves are overflowing with Churchill biographies, and Hachards was a supplier to the late Queen Elizabeth, he and her majesty's success and determination may no longer hold practical significance nowadays.

But the significance of Hachards lies more in the fact that you always have the opportunity to go there, to discover interesting books, and to experience the commercial relationships between people of antiquity. You'll never find this in rapidly developing Asia, at least not in mine.

I know this is nerdy. And next I present to you DO YOU READ ME in Berlin!

I asked people: "which AI supply chain startups (compute, power, chips, datacenters) valued at $10b or less are most interesting?"

10 votes: MatX
8: American Terawatt
6 each: Lightmatter, Modal, Prime Intellect
4 each: Valar Atomics, Wafer
3 each: Ayar Labs, d-Matrix, Gimlet Labs, Heron Power, Olix, Panthalassa, Positron, Substrate, Taalas, Tenstorrent, xLight
2 each: Aalo Atomics, Corintis, Fab2, General Matter, Ornn, SF Compute, Starcloud, Stone Power, TensorWave
1 each: 49 more startups, see image and below

People also voted for Base Power, Crusoe, Etched, and Fluidstack but those are over the valuation limit.

Disclosure: I'm a small angel in American Terawatt and Wafer. I didn't vote.

NEW: Former Apple engineers just unveiled a $1,399 turntable that hangs a spinning record on your wall.

TD-1 is a vertical record player in machined aluminum that mounts on the wall or a floor stand with mechanical knobs instead of an app or a touchscreen.

- Records hang vertically and lock in with a magnetic clamp.
- Clicks onto a wall plate with a built-in level, or sits on a floor stand.
- Sets the needle pressure automatically so it does not damage your vinyl.
- You pick the cartridge before it ships, and you can swap it later.
- Plays through a wired hi-fi or wireless speakers.

$1,399. First 500. Ships 2027.
