Thank you, my friend, for your most gracious wishes.

I fully agree with you. India-Israel friendship will continue to grow from strength-to-strength in the years to come.

single-purpose robots keep winning:

1. they pick one task and nail it
2. they don’t need a foundation model to be useful
3. every run generates data that makes the next one better
4. the operator ratio flips from 1:1 to 1:many
5. the customer forgets it’s a robot

this is happening across every major industry

Nowhere in the world has hospitality like Indian hospitality

most ppl wildly overestimate what money actually buys after a certain point. the real advantage of abundant capital is mostly psychological.

yes, yachts & private jets exist. no, most billionaires aren’t joyriding them daily like it’s gta. novelty decays fast. hedonic treadmill stays undefeated.

on actual access, the world is getting more equal over time. a billionaire uses the same iphone. drinks the same diet coke. eats broadly the same food. uses the same ai tools. injects the same glp-1s. uses the same software stack. & the same internet. the day to day gap that actually matters keeps shrinking.

wealth today mostly buys optionality, time, & reduced anxiety. it does not necessarily buy some secret parallel reality with god tier products the middle class cannot access.

the real work is just continuing to build initially expensive shit & push it downstream. scale beats status. & accessibility beats excess.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp:

“We couldn’t get bankers to underwrite Palantir.”

“They were like— you’re not going to make any money and we sure as hell aren’t gonna make money.

“Honestly, they still hate us. I can’t find a banker that likes me. I’m like— could you look at my bank account? None of them will meet with me even today. This is not hyperbolic.”

I humbly appeal to all of you. You gave the Congress a chance for many years, the Communist Party for 34 years, and the TMC for 15 years.

Their track record is of pushing the state backwards, while the BJP’s track record is of taking people forward.

I urge the people of Bengal to, under the leadership of Modi ji, form a BJP government with a full majority in the state.

if you’re building in ai right now, you should be designing for where the models & unit economics will be a year from now. today’s costs & today’s constraints are pretty much already outdated.

Congrats to team Manus for one of the fastest seed to exit stories in AI. A good proof point of a few things true in the age of AI.

(1) Even with strong distribution, platform players are finding it hard to build consumer workflows / branding for a certain use case. AI native cos are building, branding, and acquiring in ways pre-AI platforms can't match. Tiktok/insta & founder led evangelism is unique to this era and is scaling well.

(2) Value of time to market has never been higher. If you've built a best in class product, you can command a price much higher than you ever could because cash rich pre-AI platforms are willing to spend a lot more to shave off 6-12mos building something internally to compete.

(3) On the flip side, even $100m ARR is not proof of category dominance and a clear path to $500m+. This wasn't the case earlier & also very unique to AI era. In consumer AI, channel saturation, revenue fragmentation, retention, brand are going to continue to be p0 questions for every stage of the company & founders will have to keep evolving faster than their companies.

(4) Speed is everything. Your ability to demonstrate high quality execution across product, team, revenue, brand etc makes you a lot more attractive for investors and buyers. In a world that kills and creates new categories every 6mos, if you take 6mos to launch, you are launching in a market that may no longer exist.

Deeply concerned by reports of the targeting of the residence of the President of the Russian Federation. Ongoing diplomatic efforts offer the most viable path toward ending hostilities and achieving peace. We urge all concerned to remain focused on these efforts and to avoid any actions that could undermine them.

In your 30’s, your roommate from law school will ask you to start a software company to stop terrorism.

It’s very important that you say yes.

[signüll @signulll]

right now experts are actually the softest targets. the higher you climbed, the more your status depends on yesterday’s difficulty. so when the game changes, the denial part of the grief cycle becomes pure self defense & most of these people will not get past that until it's way too late.

the ones with the fanciest titles & "leadership" roles will be the last to admit the floor just disappeared beneath them because they have the most to lose.
