Eat at a London restaurant tonight. Discuss techno-optimism. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Skim the Anthropic S-1. Circle back and touch base with someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Go to the Corgi Cafe. Leave the Corgi Cafe. Order the steak rare. Post that tweet. Eat an oyster. Have a Negroni at Cafe Kick. Have two. Announce that Series A. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the chatbot on your screen, but ship its code anyways. Eat slowly. Thank your agent. Check in on your local doomer. Check in on yourself. What a time to be live.

Yeah, I'm losing my edge
I'm losing my edge

The kids are coming up from behind
I'm losing my edge
I'm losing my edge to the kids from YC who build in London

But I was there

I was there in 2003.
I was there when Zuck crashed the servers
from a Harvard dorm

I'm losing my edge
I'm losing my edge
I'm losing my edge to the X poasters
who say that “taste is the final moat”

I'm losing my edge
to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member
of every European unicorn founding team
from 2003 to 2026

I'm losing my edge
To all the kids using Claude Code and Cursor
I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites
in Palantir chore jackets
and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered noughties
But I'm losing my edge
I'm losing my edge

But I was there!
I was there

I'm losing my edge
I'm losing my edge
I can hear the footsteps every night in the war room

But I was there
I was there in 1989 at Rene Girard’s lectures in a classroom in Stanford
I was sitting next to Peter Thiel who was copying my every move
I was there when Sam Altman founded OpenAI as a non-profit
I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime."

I was there
I was the first guy talking techno-optimism to the doomers
I did it at The Singularity Summit
Everybody thought I was crazy
We all know
I was there

I was there
I've never been wrong
I used to work at Sequoia in London
I had Bitcoin before anyone
I was there in the etn. Arena with Monty Pierce Jones
I was there in Palo Alto during the Browser Wars
I woke up naked in a sauna at Slush in 2008

But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with worse ideas and more connections
And they're actually Chinese spies

I'm losing my edge

I heard you have a collection of every great piece of company merch ever made by anybody:
Anthropic’s “thinking” cap, a Lehman Brothers ‘08 hoodie, an OG Goldman x Patagucci microfleece vest

I heard you have a copy of every pre-print Paul Graham essay on a hard drive

I heard that you have a binder of every great business card: 2004 Zuckerberg, FTX SBF, Patrick Bateman

I hear you're buying a notebook and a pen and are cancelling your Claude Pro subscription because you want to make something real.
You want to write poetry in the wilderness.

I hear that you and your team have sold your Tesla shares and bought NVIDIA.
I hear that you and your team have sold your NVIDIA and bought Tesla

You don't know what you really want.

It will not be pleasant.

No revolution is."

"Rich people can become very wealthy, but not 20, 50 times wealthier than they are without explaining to the average person how they're going to become wealthy."

Palantir CEO Alex Karp explained to our @adamwren the message he thought voters sent to Big Tech in the midterms.
