@OpenAI superb!

[josh @JoshNuttall]

the world does not need you to be someone else.
listen, open your creativity, be human, care, and say yes.
something a dear friend and mentor taught me early on.

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Be your self, not someone you were assigned to be!

Bezos won on time horizon, not AWS or 1-Click.

If your bets have to work in 3 years, you compete with everyone. Every smart, funded team is chasing the same 3-year problems. Short horizon, crowded field.

Stretch to 7 and the field collapses. Investors want returns, employees want vesting, founders want proof. Almost nobody can sit in a bet that doesn't pay for most of a decade. The patience is the moat, and it costs you, that's why it works.

But you can't fake a 7-year horizon on a problem you don't actually care about. Pick the users and the problem Moloch assigned you, the safe ones, the fundable ones, and you'll bail the first hard year. Pick the ones that are actually yours and you'll still be there when everyone else has quit.

So the real prerequisite isn't discipline. It's knowing yourself well enough to choose a problem and a set of people you care about that you'll serve them for decades.

Legal AI superempowers normal individuals with no legal background to fight big institutions in bureaucracies and in courts on a level knowledge/skill playing field, for the first time in human history. As such, it is one of the most inspiring applications of AI.

New episode of my podcast is out today with none other than Dr. Ed Catmull, Pixar co-founder, former president of Walt Disney Animation, and one of the true pioneers of computer graphics. Also one of the very few people to have won both an Oscar and a Turing Award!

The new competition isn’t Humans vs AI. It’s Humans with AI vs everyone else.

bullish on the PM role quietly becoming the most important role in tech again

when anyone can build, the person who decides WHAT to build becomes the bottleneck

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

You're under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.

[josh @JoshNuttall]

simplicity, patience, compassion

[Marc Randolph @marcrandolph]

You cannot install a culture of experimentation.

You can only model it.

Culture isn’t what’s written in the employee handbook or posted on the lobby wall.

Culture is what people observe — who gets celebrated, who gets promoted, who gets fired, and why.

Everything else is decoration.

[josh @JoshNuttall]

@googlecloud When are you rolling out for pro plans?

[josh @JoshNuttall]

@OpenAI more freedom for experimentation needed, what is the reason for not releasing to other plans?

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

People are capable of far more than they think, on far shorter timelines. Problems expand to fill the time you give them.

texture is the art of living with soul.
allowing feeling to be part of the energy you allow the universe to give to you.

[josh @JoshNuttall]

the time to build is now.
agents have opened the door to building, making it wider and way more accessible.
