@sweis @grok what does this mean in laymen’s terms?

[Abe @AussieRoder]

@elonmusk @grok what’s the path to this? Laid out in no more than 3 bullets

@JosephDevoy @Muse Pretty cool. Curious if you tried this with @bot ?

As a dad of two girls (7&5), this resonates deeply. I keep reminding myself to say “yes” to as much as possible when they ask. My wife and I keep saying to each other, “we only get 12 summers before their friends are more important than us.”

We tell young people in our society that end of the rainbow is retirement at 65.

We ought to tell them that "there is going to be this short but beautiful golden window from roughly age 3 to roughly age 12 where your kids are not only easy (comparatively to bottles & diapers), but are going to be these beautiful little creatures and it will pain your heart to be away from them for too long. So, prepare in your 20's, financially and career wise, to build that flexibility into that chapter of your life".

You don't get another shot at living the "golden window". And, for me, leaning hard into that golden window has made everything else in my life feel fairly insignificant in comparison. I have made plenty of mistakes as a father, but what I won't have is the regret of having been distracted and absent from these formative years. In some cases, that has required financial sacrifices (declining a particular career opportunity that would have required relocation), but I personally have zero regrets.

I also hear from some ambitious & successful people with a 4 year old that say "I've lost my ambition, I am so immersed in fatherhood". At least for me, and a number of my friends, it comes back. You can't keep an ambitious person down and if you have the fire, hanging at a playground on too many Tuesday afternoons is going to feel like torture after too long.

My three boys are approaching 13, 11 & 9, and it's much different than 7, 5 & 3. This summer, for example, they slept until 11am and I hard an unencumbered 6am-12pm to work (being on PT helps), then got another great window 7-11pm, but was able to be present in the heart of the day, then weeks when they were at basketball camp, etc. It gets easier, your time frees up again (there's a sadness to that too), but I'm back to working as intensely as I did pre-kids just because my day to day presence requires fewer hours than it did before (also, my wife is just superbly wonderful). And that is the beautiful gift of entrepreneurship (or at least my sort of business), the ability to deliver still a high level of output but work that around your life rather than the opposite.

TLDR, grind before, and grind after. Prepare for the golden window.

@fin465 Nicely done by @profound 👏🏼

@typesfaster @typesfast @grok what’s the answer ?

[Abe @AussieRoder]

Tesla FSD is like flying business class but with unlimited flights for only $99 per mth.

Last night FSD drove me 2 hours home to San Diego from LAX after dropping my mom off. I picked up In-N-Out, seat all the way back, podcast on, feet stretched out, enjoyed dinner, no stress about traffic or navigating, relaxed all the way without intervention as it pulled up into my driveway and parked itself.

Still seems so underrated.

@nathan_covey @levelsio Is there a dumb phone that has @WisprFlow ? Going back to texting like that seems painful

@Polymarket @grok what’s the case that this true and if so, what’s the impact? And what’s the probability that it’s true?
