@HarryStebbings In physics, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

In life, karma seems to work much the same way.

What you put into the world has a way of finding its way back to you.

The universe keeps score in more ways than one.

First @Tesla Cybercab sighting for me in Austin.

Would love to get a closer look!

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@gokulr 100% agree!

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@chamath Lamborghini has spun up a team to start building this...

the Lambo Scuro.

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@levie @lulumeservey Ferrari built their version of the horrendous Pontiac Aztek!

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@levie @Kantrowitz The narrative from the very beginning should’ve been the following.

AI helps you move faster, solve harder problems, do more with less.

Work at a speed that used to feel impossible.

Why did we mess that up?!?

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@elonmusk @heavypulp Another SNL appearance please!

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

One of the best examples of this which no one talks about is @DougDeMuro and @carsandbids

He built a huge following first on YouTube with millions of subs.

Then launched a car auction site which, needless to say, took off with his audience and is now crazy successful.

Audience first, product second - brilliant!

@sama @AndrewSteinwold Biggest problem AI is solving for me?

It is helping me learn more things, much faster.

Gaining knowledge has never been easier. Learning is way more accessible.

The only real limitation now is how much I can absorb...and how quickly.

Can AI help with that?!?

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@lennysan @_catwu @AnthropicAI Amazing episode.

Who better to learn the future of PM than the person defining it?

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

Do the right thing even when no one’s watching.

In fact, that’s when it matters the most.

Anyone can perform for an audience, but your real values show up in those moments when there’s no credit, no applause, and no consequence except what you can live with.

Makes sense why John landed the CEO gig!

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@TrungTPhan @alexkehr His racing prowess, of course!

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

Now this is a CEO I can get behind! 😀

Outside Apple, Ternus loves to race his Porsche at tracks like California’s Laguna Seca raceway, where he clocks laps in under 1:40, people familiar with his times said, which they added was solid for an amateur driver.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Apple’s new CEO John Ternus is a hardware expert who must help the company catch up in the AI race as it looks for its next big hit https://t.co/IiPCyxQyhl

@BillAckman These genius musicians are so awe inspiring.

Another one is Jacob Collier.

Unbelievable talent.

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@WSJ Buying a used Tesla Model 3 for $15K is a no-brainer. No maintenance, no gas, you barely use your brakes and you get incredible technology.

High mileage doesn't even matter - no engine, complicated mechanical components that can break.

Cheapest daily commuter you can buy.

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@jimfarley98 @FordMustang @Ford My first car I bought new out of college. Fond memories.

One of the best sounding V8s ever made.

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@SciGuySpace It’s hard to imagine a more credible NASA leader than @rookisaacman, someone who has built real companies and has actually gone to space himself.

Very excited to see how the space program unfolds and accelerates from here.

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@petergyang Fascinating! Thanks for sharing - I work with a lot of colleagues in China but never been.

What's the general employment situation like in the tech sector? Tough market?

[Ayan Basu @ayan__basu]

@elonmusk The super successful Artemis 2 mission has changed everything.

Hopefully moon, mars missions are now all accelerated.

Godspeed NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin

Next 10 years will be incredible!
