I've been working on a side project I'm really excited about. I've always wanted a smart podcast player that helps me remember and revisit key moments, insights, book recommendations, or people from episodes. After trying several tools that didn't fully meet my needs, I decided to build it myself. The result is PodLume. It's still early but ready to try. Check it out at https://t.co/C5thbPCjtY available on web and iOS. Any feedback or support is greatly appreciated!

@omgsidewalks Because you idiots vote for bailouts. Capitalism doesn’t include bailouts.

@AutismCapital Is this a diet or a recipe?

[Bijan Daei @bdaei]

@piersmorgan I really want him to win the whole thing.

[Bijan Daei @bdaei]

@kad_mcfc @piersmorgan He is better than Messi and the fact that people fawn over this fact makes it more true.

[Bijan Daei @bdaei]

I’m so happy for #Norway. They were the better side. Holland was magnificent 💪

Tech leaders warn enterprise data risks are driving a sovereign AI shift

This episode exposes the critical tension between rapid AI adoption and data privacy, alongside the real-world economic pressures facing major tech hubs like California.

As enterprises wake up to the risks of sharing proprietary data with frontier labs, the push for sovereign AI and open-source models is accelerating, fundamentally reshaping how companies protect their intellectual property.

A key partnership between Palantir and Nvidia highlights a shift toward a hybrid AI stack, where businesses deploy local hardware alongside cloud infrastructure to maintain control over their data and lower token costs.

While some fear immediate automation-driven job losses, recent employment data indicates that firms adopting artificial intelligence are actually growing their headcounts, even as roles in customer support face disruption.

The conversation shifts from technological disruption to fiscal reality as the hosts dissect California's severe budget crisis, pointing to accounting maneuvers, ballooning liabilities, and the exodus of high earners.

👀 Don't miss: David Friedberg breaks down California's budget crisis, exposing the accounting tricks and long-term liabilities threatening the state's economy.

🔗 All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg — To follow weekly deep dives into technology, market trends, and economic policy.

@ConceptualJames We already have the tech for true digital ownership. But is being used for shitcoins at the moment.

[Bijan Daei @bdaei]

@bryan_johnson No one.

@IterIntellectus I probably would have earned less if I were single. Taking care of my family drives me to work harder.

@twistartups Do you also recommend startups not apply for programs like Google Startup grant? TBH 360K of cloud credits goes a long way towards bootstrapping AI-native startups.

[Bijan Daei @bdaei]

@ronmortgageguy For sure he did.

[Bijan Daei @bdaei]

@Victori49569624 Honest question, why do you think the condos were staying vacant and unsold?

[Bijan Daei @bdaei]

@guyfelicella Why do you think those condos were not selling?

[Bijan Daei @bdaei]

@beffjezos Wait, were they two different groups?

[Bijan Daei @bdaei]

@Chad_Moats Nope. Capitalism didn’t do that. But it did let deadbeat socialists post their bullshit memes on the internet while taking a shit.

[Bijan Daei @bdaei]

As a staunch capitalist, I condemn bailing out businesses that made bad decisions.

"Developers are stuck. They don't want sell at a loss." - @MarkJCarney

Developers have options:
▪️Keep empty
▪️Convert to rental
▪️Lower prices

And so what if they sell at a loss? That's the game.

Why should Canadian taxpayers bail out homebuilders?
