Alex is 100% right to call out the frontier labs. Replace your entire workforce with Anthropic/OpenAI models and you no longer own your company, they do. The “weights” are trained on stolen IP, trade secrets, and human knowledge at scale. It’s not augmentation, it’s transfer of ownership.
This isn’t sustainable. The hype machine is running on vapor, massive energy bills, and future lawsuits. Real value is in applied, governed AI with data control (Palantir’s lane), not renting god-mode models that commoditize your edge.
The correction is coming. Position accordingly.
What’s your take?
Patrick Beverley on Victor Wembanyama:
“Wemby is the best player in the NBA. Without a doubt… I’ve never seen a prospect like this in my entire life. He’s a real alien. And I liked the elbow. F*ck that. Get off of me. I like that the NBA didn’t suspend him either. Don’t make it soft”

Tim Cook just told eight billion people what the next decade is going to cost them.
He didn’t mention chips. He didn’t mention software. He didn’t mention revenue.
He diagnosed something permanent about human nature.
Cook: “Whatever you do with your life, be a builder.”
That wasn’t a commencement speech. That was a verdict on the century.
On one side, the people who make things. On the other, everyone who watches them do it.
For twenty years the internet blurred that line. You could scroll, react, repost, and convince yourself you were participating.
Artificial intelligence just closed that window. Permanently.
If your reflex is to consume, AI will feed you content until you are perfectly, comfortably irrelevant.
If your reflex is to build, AI just handed you the output of a thousand engineers on a single screen.
Same technology. Opposite trajectories. The fork happens the second you touch it.
This is the most lopsided advantage ever given to ordinary people.
One person with the right architecture now ships what entire departments couldn’t build three years ago.
One creator with the right process now produces what agencies billed seven figures for.
The leverage is not marginal. It is generational.
And it only compounds if your default setting is creation.
Cook: “The best founders… spend most of their time building, piece by piece.”
Not theorizing. Not consuming someone else’s roadmap. Not waiting for the perfect model to arrive.
Stacking. Quietly. Relentlessly. Brick by brick while the crowd argues about whether the building is even real.
The gap between the person building and the person commenting on the build is about to become the defining fracture of this century.
Not wealth. Not credentials. Not access.
Orientation. Whether your hands move toward the tool or away from it.
Cook: “True builders believe their work will one day be bigger than them.”
That has never been more literal.
We are constructing intelligence that will outlast the species that designed it. What you lay down today compounds across decades you will never see.
The divide ahead is not rich and poor. It is not credentialed and uncredentialed.
It is the people who build and the people who watched.
You either pick up the tools or you become the foundation someone else pours.
Chris Camillo says people used AI to replicate 18 years of his trading strategy in 48 hours on a $650 Mac Mini
"At least 6 people in the last week have set up OpenClaw boxes and said I want you to replicate everything that Chris Camillo does, and it works 24 hours a day doing everything that I do"
"It goes into TikTok, watches videos, scans comments, knows what words to look for like 'sold out' and 'obsessed' it understands my methodology and evaluates what's trending in real time"
"They basically replicated 18 years of my work in 48 hours on a Mac Mini just voice prompting 'hey can you replicate what Chris Camillo does'"
