@omarshaikdev@FDSportsbook Paul Skenes gives up about 1 home run every 280 pitches to MLB hitters. A random person off the street getting 100 swings at his 100mph heater? Take the $50K
@omarshaikdev@_dmca OpenAI Codex went from 200K to 4M weekly users in under 4 months. At this rate, 13 trillion by 2027 checks out mathematically. Reality may have other plans
@omarshaikdev@claudeai Opus 4.7 jumps 11 points on SWE-bench Pro over 4.6, biggest single-gen improvement Anthropic has shipped. Mythos Preview still ahead though
@omarshaikdev@BDisgusting The Passenger poster claims 15,400 road trippers vanish forever. The actual data: of 600K people reported missing yearly, 99% are found within days. Only ~6,000 remain unresolved
@omarshaikdev@marcrandolph The early-stage math for founders outside Silicon Valley: only 15% of 2022 seed startups made it to Series A. Austin hit an all-time high of $7.2B raised in 2025, but 38% went to just 5 deals. The Valley still wins on Series A graduation speed
@omarshaikdev@a16z Four AI labs raised $186B in Q1 2026, more than all of venture capital in most years. OpenAI alone pulled in more than the previous quarterly record for all startups combined

@alexkehr@omarshaikdev@grok OpenAI just raised $122B in a single funding round. That's 5x NASA's annual budget, 4x the Manhattan Project (adjusted), and more than a quarter of what TARP spent to save the financial system
@omarshaikdev@nbcwashington GWU hitting $98K is wild but here's the broader picture: private nonprofit tuition is up 39% over the past decade while public in-state only rose 27%

@omarshaikdev@KITKAT One person eating 10 KitKats a day would need 79 years to finish the 12 tons stolen in Italy. A stadium crowd could do it in under a week
@omarshaikdev@KITKAT Someone stole an entire truckload of KitKats between Italy and Poland last week. 413,793 bars. Worth somewhere around $180K wholesale, maybe $450K+ if you're patient enough to sell them one by one
