Osho on seriousness,
“I don't think existence wants you to be serious. I have not seen a serious tree. I have not seen a serious bird. I have not seen a serious sunrise. I have not seen a serious starry night. It seems they are all laughing in their own ways, dancing in their own ways. We may not understand it, but there is a subtle feeling that the whole existence is a celebration.”
A founder kept saying "if only we had money we'd do X."
Money is not the fire. Money is gasoline you pour on a fire that already exists.
You don't have a funding problem. You have a "people don't want it yet" problem. Go make the first fire.

The easiest way to get ahead is just to do one thing. For years. While everyone around you chases shiny objects. You just keep building. Your ability to handle monotony is where all the money and opportunity is.
BREAKING: Iranian officials say their President Pezeshkian will be releasing an "important letter" to the American people in "a few hours."
This is set to be released just hours before President Trump's 9 PM ET address to the nation.
We will be covering it real-time.
Alec Radford has 190,000+ citations, no PhD, no master's degree, and 34,000 Twitter followers. Sam Altman called him an Einstein-level genius. Wired compared his role at OpenAI to Larry Page inventing PageRank. He still prototyped most of his work in Jupyter Notebooks.
The resume is staggering when you list it out. GPT-1: first author. GPT-2: first author. CLIP: primary author. Whisper: co-author. DALL-E: co-author. DCGAN: co-author. Contributing researcher on GPT-3, GPT-4, and DALL-E 2/3. Multiple U.S. patents owned by OpenAI. He joined in 2016 with a bachelor's degree from Olin College, a school founded in 1997 with fewer than 400 students.
His first experiment at OpenAI was training a language model on 2 billion Reddit comments. It failed. But the organization gave him room to keep going. Two years later he built GPT-1 alone, based on what colleagues described as pure technical intuition. He couldn't fully explain how it worked at the time. He just knew it would.
At NeurIPS 2024, Ilya Sutskever singled out two people as responsible for the pre-training era: Radford and Dario Amodei. All four original authors of the GPT paper have since left OpenAI. Radford left in December 2024 to do independent research.
His last tweet was in May 2021. A reply explaining why GPT-1's layer width was set to 768.
The person who built the foundation of a $300B+ industry communicates less publicly than most interns. That ratio between impact and visibility is the strongest signal of who actually does the work versus who narrates it.
Will probably get dragged for this.
Not a naysayer but I foresee a NG stock market crash soon.
Why?
The recipe for most market crashes or great losses is clearly visible.
Before major crashes, there’s usually an extremely high rise in value, not underpinned by
If you don’t think big, you don’t grow. It’s that simple.
Big growth starts with believing in yourself and in what you’re building.
When you truly believe, you stop playing small and start chasing what’s possible.
