Fantastic speech

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

here is Mamdani's entire speech at the Knicks parade, which is easily the best speech I've ever heard at an event of this sort

[Joe Hudson @FU_joehudson]

The biggest lessons I've learned in my journey around money

[Mike P Lewis @MikePLewis]

So good

[Alex @ajak1033]

The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

We need more of this

[Mike P Lewis @MikePLewis]

@BillPescatello Agreed. It’s absurd. Kids freak out if they don’t get A’s and so all the teachers just now give A’s.

Of our @Forbes AI 50 list...https://t.co/vyJL43a4s7

88% are US-based
64% are Bay Area-based
50% are San Francisco-based
14% are New York City-based

Conclusion...if you're building an AI company, build it in San Francisco

*I live in San Francisco so I'm biased

[Mike P Lewis @MikePLewis]

Agree 100% with this. Would love to see anyone except OKC take the title.

Do you ever stop and realize that all we're doing is creating another being that is going to be smarter than us humans?

We've been the smartest thing on the planet for a while and we're in a big hurry to NOT be the smartest. I can't imagine this ends well

[Mike P Lewis @MikePLewis]

If I pick in group 1 one year, I pick in group 2 the next.

For the teams picking in
group 1 (1-6), the worst record picks first.

Every team gets a top 6 pick every 5 years.

This separates the draft from the record (removing tanking) but also helping bad teams

[Mike P Lewis @MikePLewis]

For the NBA tanking issue, the best solution is:

Group all 30 teams into 5 groups of 6 teams. Split the draft order into 5 drafting groups (1-6, 6-12, etc). Each team rotates through the drafting groups yearly. The order in that group is based on record

Maybe it's because I'm old but I'm walking my face off these days.

I love the latin phrase "solvitur ambulando" which translates to "it is solved by walking" (h/t Mckenzie)

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.”

Was there this morning. It’s awesome

There are two runways in any company: financial and emotional. With our co's we often see that startups die often not because of lack of money but lack of energy

a company dies once the funny people leave
