My god this is such a good speech that every SWE needs to hear. You know what? Every person should hear it

Keep the happy memories, eyes on the reality, be excited about the future. That’s the best that anyone can do

@investingwithac @JanSzitas pretty sure the number is not Lucie specifically but the total market size of ICHRA/CHOICE

SpaceXAI engineer (ex-Cursor):

"right now I'm running 10-20 GrokBot agents that automate 90% of my routine

i have a Chief of Staff agent. He knows about all my other bots and manages everything"

in a 50-minutes podcast, a SpaceXAI engineer showed how to build a team of agents that will work for you 24/7

worth more than a $500 course on agentic engineering

watch today, then read how to build a Grok agents team from scratch in the article below

I was talking to someone about @travisk today

And I was reflecting that there was no one else on this earth who could have had the resilience to make sure that I can go from Point A to Point B in almost every global city

No one else in Silicon Valley had the guts. He did.

TY.

My annual letter:
https://t.co/5axz7jVwOb

This year I discuss corgis, compute, and Cold War; the Texas State Fair; DSA; Neue Sachlichkeit; disfiguring the physical past and the end of history; Germanic obedience; Antichrist; wisecracks; Pascal’s Wager; romantasy; and croissants.

satya loves all the layers:
silicon layer
cognition layer
data layer
intelligence layer
organizing layer
LoRa layer
detection layer
discovery layer
cognitive layer
management layers
infrastructure layer
scaffolding layer
software layer
app layer
UI layer

@DavidSacks wow so there is no beef between Greg Brockman (OpenAI) and Elon 🤔

[nikhil @uninsightful]

in many ways, @usv was built on taking advantage of the second-order benefits of bubbles (dotcom, crypto 3x). it is a topic we discuss and write about a lot

this stratechery post does a great job spelling out the productive overbuild we can hope to get from this AI bubble:

1. Increased power generation (total capacity flat in the US for last two decades!)
2. New domestic chip fabs (trailing edge abundance?)
3. GPUs -- these are obviously much more short-lived assets but may surprise to the upside in terms of their usable life

perhaps most importantly: certain bubbles deeply aggregate talent and align attention. this has definitely been the case in AI and has accelerated much of the model progress of the last couple years

@bernhardsson not sure who is the genius here

[Dylan Abruscato @DylanAbruscato]

Brian squared on @TBPN

[wellington @Wellington_Hsu]

@yrechtman @slow @KevinColleran wow congrats! this is huge

Bret Taylor (@btaylor) on the “triple, triple, double, double” debate:

“The faster you grow is sometimes correlated with a lack of a moat… I’d rather bet on durable, high-quality revenue and happy customers than just raw growth.”

[wellington @Wellington_Hsu]

@bernhardsson @modal @Lux_Capital @Redpoint @AmplifyPartners wow congrats Erik!

[wellington @Wellington_Hsu]

@bernhardsson HODL!

[wellington @Wellington_Hsu]

@yrechtman congrats!

[Erik Bernhardsson @bernhardsson]

Modal's goal has always been to build an entire suite of tools for building ML/AI applications, starting with the compute layer.

We're launching Notebooks today. It leverages our powerful Modal infrastructure to startup up GPU-backed kernels in seconds, and much more.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

@StockSavvyShay buy Anthropic, cheaper and take out reliance on AWS, GCP

[wellington @Wellington_Hsu]

@nebhol89 @sheslee Agree. Mark is truly impressive
