100% absolutely correct. Its an absolute tragedy.

@the_transit_guy @MayorBMScott This is remarkable! Innovation yielding real results for cities — and yes, blockchain had a role to play. All of the vacant homes were put on the blockchain for more efficient title searches. Never bet against America's cities. 🇺🇸

Spot on. Every company (and individual) should consider building your AI advisory board. Low cost, incredibly high ROI.

Tim Cook served as Apple CEO for ~15 years. Imagine how valuable that wisdom is. And thanks to AI, you can retain AND democratize access to that wisdom, even as he steps down.

We've already started experimenting with similar things at Coinbase.

I've spent 20 years building AI at Meta, Salesforce, and startups.

Last fall my team's AI agents started really working. I knew everything had changed.

Then my nieces, nephews, cousins started asking me how to get hired.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. So I decided to leave and build something.

Today at #TIME100 Summit, we’re launching #NewWorkFoundation– free, open source AI tools for Gen Z navigating the worst entry-level job market in 37 years.
→ @dearCChq: what AI is doing to your profession
→ Field Report: best jobs for your major
→ JobClaw: match your strengths to roles + AI skills you need

Every job is becoming an AI job. Direct it, or be directed by it.

The future isn't automatic. I want to help #GenZ write theirs.

Grateful to have @AndrewYang joining as a Founding Advisor– someone who's been sounding the alarm on this longer than almost anyone.

@pmarca The future is inherently unpredictable. We can be optimistic about AI’s upside, while staying honest about uncertainty and preparing for multiple outcomes 🧠

First principles: higher productivity ≠ guaranteed more jobs. “More output” is not the same as “more workers needed.”

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

The "AI job loss" narratives are all fake. AI = massive ramp in productivity = massive ramp in demand = massive jobs boom. Watch.

@FamousJameis17 @7PMinBrooklyn “Hoodies up like Melo,
scoring buckets in the rain,
Whether hoopin or its music — I ain’t doing it for fame…
St. John’s was young simba…
Now China’s bout to see “Jermaineeee”
It’s @7PMinBrooklyn and Melo still giving us game… just sayin

@Leishman @gladstein Well said Alex. I’m sure you face this tension as a founder… “to build what’s right and useful, or to build what’s profitable and engaging”.

How do you stay disciplined when the market will reward “casino behavior”?

[HeyMrCarter @Dare_Carter]

@doodles Doodle me!

[Todd Saunders @toddsaunders]

I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this.....

But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software.

I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal

He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it.

He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code.

Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time.

His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages.

His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything.

My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five."

Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder.

I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.

🎄🏀 The @NBA Christmas wishlist 🎄🏀
** Lakers vs Mavs — Flagg and AD, Lebron and Luka. Cinema.
** Warriors vs Rockets — a classic rivalry. Old heads vs new (easy)money. Best thing since Steph and KD at the Olympics
** Knicks vs Celtics OR Sixers — one of these HAS to be on Christmas. It’s tradition. I don’t make the rules.
** Spurs vs OKC — Wemby vs Shai, sequel. The future of the league on display.
