@SimpleCRE Perfect spot for a little data center without compromising on walking space

[Devan Baucom @DevanBaucom]

@growing_daniel Yup. Sometimes I don't even unmute and say "no updates from me." I just do a no teeth smile and thumbs up when it's my turn.

@TheOneAndArjun Meek Mill = Meek Mill

[Devan Baucom @DevanBaucom]

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land amongst the data centers, and since there is no matter in space, they'll be silent, which creates ideal conditions for deep work. 💫

@PascalCaloc The best question: "Claude, can you build me a $1B business and pinky promise you'll make zero mistakes this time?"

[Devan Baucom @DevanBaucom]

@boardyai 6. Spending less on cloud ops so you can spend it on more marketing

[Devan Baucom @DevanBaucom]

@Polymarket Easy move here if you're eBay. Spend all of your cash buying "yes" and then sell that position on eBay for under market value, thus increasing eBay's revenue to the point that it settles as "no," all while offloading your "yes" position.

@TrungTPhan Tenet spent 2:30 contemplating time moving in opposite directions and never once commented on how ARR was affected. Official review: 👎🏻 👎🏻

Bought this painting on the spot. It depicts 599 engineers getting a good night sleep while AI builds them $1B businesses and 1 person who doesn't use AI waking up to waste a glass of water. So powerful. 🙏

@james406 "Obsession" is such a dumb name for it. I read the synopsis and didn't even hear shareholder value mentioned once. What else can they even be obsessed with?

[Devan Baucom @DevanBaucom]

@heshie 100 oz of water feels wasteful. Why not save that for a data center?!

[Devan Baucom @DevanBaucom]

@1980Finance what's crazy is that back then you had to hire a physical person named Claude and ask him to build you a $1B company and make zero mistakes to get this much money

[Devan Baucom @DevanBaucom]

@trikcode not to be a know-it-all science person, but dinosaurs wouldn't choose either door because data centers burn fossil fuels and fossil fuels are made from dinosaurs.

@RobertGreene this is why i don't pay attention. i don't want instructions. i'm trying to become ungovernable*

*not sure what it means or how it helps but X told me it's important

[Devan Baucom @DevanBaucom]

@a16z incredibly excited to see what Kirkland Brand tokens cost

[Devan Baucom @DevanBaucom]

@MarioNawfal Lower budget, and 100x better movie

[Nicholas Ringelstein @NickFromPump_co]

As an Aussie living in SF, the reaction to '26 Budget doesn’t surprise me.
Startup ecosystems are built on risk-taking, equity, & upside.
Silicon Valley understands one thing deeply:
You don’t punish people for building successful companies.
Talent is mobile, founders will leave

[Nicholas Ringelstein @NickFromPump_co]

If you spend $30k+/mo on Claude, there are 2 ways to cut costs:
- Ask Anthropic nicely for a discount
- Route usage through AWS Bedrock + Provisioned throughput and save 15–35%

Most teams don’t realize #2 is possible.

DMs open if you want the breakdown.

[Paul Russo @wolfofmarketst]

Thinking about starting a Dagestan office for Pump BDR training.

If everyone else is sending people there for 2-3 years, if we do 4-6 years, we'll be 10x ahead of all the other companies.

Thoughts?

@gp_georgios @PeterDiamandis @elonmusk @grok is this true that making chips that can survive space radiation will be 5000x more expensive than making normal chips?
