@100MBTC one day @taalas_inc will imprint fable 5.5 directly on chip and that will be the end of the robotics control conversation
total transformer victory
I got curious and digged into this the other day.
On average they are losing $3,000 in fees to pumpfun to run each of these coins
$1,500 on buy + sell (check the first $100k+ tx)
and there are no humans actually trading these to justify these costs which means only on thing
It’s ran by pumpfun themselves.
Peter Thiel's resolution to his younger self was brutally simple:
"Always value substance over status. Substance over prestige."
Easy to nod at. Hard to actually do — because the pressure runs the other way.
The credential, the brand-name employer, the prestigious fund: these are legible signals. Substance is murky. So most ambitious people default to optimizing for what others can quickly recognize, rather than what actually compounds.
Thiel's point has a mechanism behind it: prestige is consensus opinion. When you pursue it, you're outsourcing your judgment to the crowd — and by definition, the crowd is evaluating you on the same metrics everyone else uses. You're competing in the most crowded lane possible.
The historical pattern backs this up. Gates dropped out of Harvard. Jobs left Reed College. Bezos quit a prestigious hedge fund career to sell books out of a garage. None of those decisions looked impressive at the time. All of them were bets on substance over status signals.
The asymmetric opportunities are almost always in the places that don't look good on a resume yet.
Prestige is backward-looking — it rewards what the consensus already values. Substance-first thinking is how you get to the opportunity before the consensus catches up.
@vintageporsche2@mikesulsenti fix the startup experience for one.
why let the user watch the loading icon for a millenia, when you could serve cache first and load rest in the background.
takes three braincells and one claude prompt to fix.
it’s actually insane to think how when elon was 31 he made $180 million from the sale of PayPal and he could have just bought a private island and spent the rest of his life in peace, without having to work another day
instead he sacrificed basically everything trying to build the future. failed multiple times, almost went completely broke, but he kept going, spending the last 20 years building reusable rockets, electric cars, global satellite internet, AI, brain interfaces. basically the whole infrastructure for the future of civilization
just to end up in a world where people are publicly calling for his execution, and getting applauded for it
you don’t even have to like him to realize how completely fucking backwards the world has become
