How Deep-Tech Investors Decide When Science Must Become a Company https://t.co/T1x5QwyUOf

[Khairallah AL-Awady @eng_khairallah1]

this is f*cking gold

THE AI guy dropped a free masterclass on harness engineering

if I had this a year ago, I would've worked 5x faster

in the right hands, this changes everything:

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

@kritikakodes AI scales what you are and what you do.

It is as simple as that.

@XVanFleet @elonmusk The far left extremist

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

@Erzbischof2023 Die Frage ist, ob er als Mitarbeiter fit für seinen Job ist, wenn er Kandidaten unter der Gürtellinie attackiert.

Wäre es ein privates Unternehmen, das sich so daneben über Kandidaten für Boardfunktionen äußert, wäre er nicht lange mehr dort.

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

@Codie_Sanchez Exactly. I couldn’t agree more. Both need each other.

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

I agree. The only mistake domain experts can make is ignoring the agentic technology.

Agents need humans to be effective. I do not see this change anytime soon, since goals and processes follow human needs. Software doesn't have it.

Agentic design will be as normal in 10 years as working with MS Office is today.

Get started now.

@lukasludens Milliardäre geben wenigstens ihr eigenes Geld aus.

Politiker lassen sich das vom Steuerzahler bezahlen, ohne das der Steuerzahler was dagegen machen kann.

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

@lukasludens Die Regierung erhöht sich selbst die Parteienförderung und plant für die Bevölkerung weitere Steuern.

Nach den letzten 6 Jahren sollen sie zum Teufel gehen. Alle bei jeder Wahl rauswählen.

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

That's an easy trap. A cheaper option might look great at first but backfire down the road. When working with state-of-the-art LLMs, startups that want to sell advanced reasoning to B2B should aim for the best engine under the hood rather than one that's just cheap.

Price shouldn’t be the main decision driver.

If you want to win an F1 championship, you need an F1 car, not a second-hand Mini.

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

@ImtiazMadmood The best was definitely @Keir_Starmer in this ugly charade, saying that it is @elonmusk's fault.

Get the left-wing extremists out of governments whenever there is an election. They are toxic.

True executive presence has nothing to do with being the loudest.

Social skills are the operating system of high-status leadership. Master these 7 daily rules to project calm, CEO-level authority:

1. Make every person matter

Give the individual in front of you your full presence. Not because of their title, but because it is your baseline standard. Every interaction must leave the other person feeling seen and respected.

2. Calm first, response second

Never let ego, irritation, or fear steer a conversation. Pause. Breathe. Choose the response that protects your dignity and direction. Do not react. Choose.

3. Listen past your impulse

Avoid the “Expert Trap.” Stop interrupting or rushing to prove your intelligence. Use silence deliberately to extract information and let the other person feel fully received. Let people land before you lead.

4. Compliment, mirror, guide

When under pressure, rely on this pattern: Start with a sincere compliment. Mirror their perspective. Then, calmly guide the conversation to a productive next step. Make people feel respected before you redirect them.

5. Be warm, not needy

Take the social initiative. Bring positive energy and open doors warmly—but never chase. If someone is distracted or cold, exit gracefully. Do not force entry.

6. Uplift, never perform

Ensure people leave your presence with more energy than they arrived with. Share light amusement and positive momentum. Never desperately perform or try to dominate the room.

7. Kindness with boundaries

Project calm kindness as your outer layer, and build clear boundaries as your inner structure. Do not argue unnecessarily. When someone violates standards, restore order quickly and cleanly. Stay kind until kindness needs structure.

The June Sentence:

Every day I practice becoming the calm, kind, composed leader who listens deeply, uplifts people, reads the room, keeps boundaries, and restores order without wasting energy.

@rohanpaul_ai It's the classic mistake of thinking that once it's there, people will use it.

The days of the 90s when software rollouts were scarce are over.

Companies can produce the best tools. When they don’t know how to market them, they lose.

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

@pmarca, this toxic narrative—whether it is AI, SaaS or services—that we are going after this and that industry and destroying your jobs, is the classic mistake software companies already made 30 years ago.

At most you get a fuck off.

You need the buy-in of those industries to use your products.

When I read such bullshit like this post 24/7, I’d say definitely not with your companies.

Train your people better in communication. Otherwise useful tools don’t make it through the door.

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

@DivyanshT91162 Exactly

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

@nikoll_gjokaj @_CStocker, @BMeinl der Bevölkerung mit exorbitanten und laufend höheren Steuern das Geld aus der Tasche zu ziehen und es aufs eigene Konto zu überweisen, ist letztklassig.

Es reicht.

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

@lukasludens Ich hab den Ideologen schon lange auf mute. Von dort kommt nichts sinnvolles.

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

People can still ride horses and they work just fine. But in the modern world, we use far superior options: cars, buses, scooters, trains, and planes.

The same logic applies to election systems. I cannot verify the case numbers you mentioned.

What is certain is: the U.S. voting infrastructure remains stuck in the 1800s.

A modern democracy that cannot reliably confirm whether a person claiming the right to vote actually has that right is fundamentally broken by today’s standards.

This is a serious vulnerability that urgently needs fixing.
America’s election verification processes should be brought from the 18th into the 21st century.

@b_gabelle Gerade deswegen wäre sie die richtige Wahl, um beim ORF für einen Ausgleich zu sorgen und wieder zu einer neutralen Berichterstattung zu finden.

Dass das dem links-außen Wolf nicht gefällt, ist klar.

[Christian Soschner @Soschner]

@Benleo @Keir_Starmer, this is the direct result of your ideological work. It is a shame for all of Europe that this is even possible.

Your reply that it is Elon Musk's fault is a pathetic attempt to divert attention from the real problem: your ideology is toxic.
