If the EU built Claude

[Hubert Thieblot @hthieblot]

Never quit as a founder. I’m begging you.

It’s 0 for longer than you’ll ever expect. No momentum. Soul-crushing doubts. Nobody seems to care. Even when it looks like it’s working, it’s not. You keep trying new things. You don’t lose hope.

Then it snaps to 100. You finally find the one thing that resonates. You wake up with more customers than you can handle. Everything is breaking. Momentum keeps building even when you’re not pushing. Something changed.

You didn’t get lucky, you just didn’t leave.

With https://t.co/lAxValp45d, you can follow public contracts at municipality level, see where the money is flowing, and explore the network behind it through connected entities and contracts.

It's a simpler way to understand who is contracting with whom, where public money is going, and how local spending moves across the network.

If only we’d trained Grok on just these 2 books, we’d be done already!

Anish Acharya: We're going to see a "YouTube moment for software":

"If you think about YouTube 20 years ago—we had lots of video and lots of television, and it was high production quality, and it wasn't clear that we needed more and 20 years later, YouTube's a $550 billion enterprise that would be one of the biggest companies in the world if it was independent."

"I think the same thing is going to happen for software. People want to make software, and for the first time they can—and they can distribute it and they can consume it."

"Sometimes it's going to be important software. Sometimes it's going to be totally trivial. It's going to be software for a bachelor party weekend, software for a joke, software for a prompt. We have this sort of seriousness about software that we had about video and television 20 years ago."

"Now it's like—I just took a video on my phone. It's going to be like—I just made an app on my phone. Same energy."

Finished a seven day social media fast. It feels like the most effective longevity therapy I've done.

Everything got better: mood, sleep, energy, presence, judgment, relationships, and optimism.

Evidence shows a seven day fast produces a reduction of anxiety (16%), depression (25%) and insomnia (15%). The effects felt bigger.

Conversely, dipping back in, I can viscerally feel that my body metabolizes social media similarly to a fast food meal, corrosive relationship, hangover, and sleep deprivation. My body hates it.

After the previous fasts (40/hr and 70hr), I wrote that social media is pollution.  Not a vice or guilty pleasure. It’s closer to water toxins, air pollution and microplastics.

This time, the major insight was that social media is a form of intoxication.

Alcohol is honest intoxication. It clearly tells you what it's taking from you. Social media on the other hand does not disclose itself as an intoxicant.

It produces the sensation of being informed, engaged, and connected while quietly evacuating your capacity for depth and independent thought.

You don’t feel drunk, you feel current. But evidence shows that it causes your brain to shrink. The impairment is real by you can't feel it. Making it the more dangerous type.

If you haven't tried it, I strongly encourage you to try a social media fast. Even if for one day.

Pure software is rapidly becoming un-investable.

France is investing $30,000,000 in this new ai initiative

That’s how much Google will spend in 90 minutes.

No joke. Every 90 minutes Google will spend $30 million on capex this year.

One company.

Now that I've been through being a kid, growing up, and then having kids, it's clear that the main thing that differentiates people is simply whether they make an effort. Whether they're content to drift along with the current, or whether they try to swim.

Much of any digital job is now preparing context for AI models.

Organizing files in folders, naming everything correctly, introducing things in the right order, and only then asking the AI to do something in clear written English.
