Favorite book I’ve read this year: @lloydblankfein’s “Streetwise”. He really enjoy(ed) being a performer.

@brycent while they can keep competing in the AI race with Grok using that FCF to build more GPUs. Doubling down on training Grok would be betting that they can surpass Anthropic/OpenAI in the next 1-3 years (the deal term of GPUs to Google), and that bet would be simply be unrealistic.

[Diego Moca @diegomocad]

@brycent I would argue the move is based on opportunity cost principles, SpaceX is nearing a highly controversial valuation IPO and have the opportunity (by renting GPUs) to capitalize on short term cash flow (that will give peace of mind to SpaceX - soon to be - shareholders ) [cont.]

@paulg Context: controlled for total funding, funding rounds, and other states. California's effect held.

Everyone says "just move to sf"

I ran a model on 3,748 US startups from Crunchbase to see if location actually matters

Results: California significant at 1%

Simple words:

Odds of success building a startup in SF > Elsewhere

Read @paulg's "How To Be in SV" to see why

@victorcardenas Biggest opportunity in our lifetime. See u there.

@PragTheDev @jackfriks I don’t have a product yet. My videos got less than 1k views for 1.5 years. Keep iterating!

[Diego Moca @diegomocad]

If you’re wondering…

yes, @jackfriks’s guide works.

It took me 500 posts to start seeing some traction. (made a few mistakes)

I don’t have a product yet but nice to see some traction in the content.

[Diego Moca @diegomocad]

@its_tianyi @jackfriks Good question. I think both works. I’ll test with a web saas.

[Diego Moca @diegomocad]

@anshnanda @jackfriks @v_computer Will definitely try it out!

[Diego Moca @diegomocad]

@heycoburn @jackfriks Go for it!

[Diego Moca @diegomocad]

@martinmuzatko @jackfriks In the caption.

Tbh, it took me 1.5 years because it was a side project and at the bottom of my priorities.

If I worked on it every day, I would have gotten the same traction in 1 - 3 months.

[Diego Moca @diegomocad]

@technohustler @jackfriks yes

[Diego Moca @diegomocad]

@drumrol_com @jackfriks 1.5 years 🫣

[Diego Moca @diegomocad]

@mmmikhaeel @jackfriks Yes, I’ll finish it after finals :)

@_sonith What are your top 5 commercial airlines? I know you travel a lot

If someone would ask me: Who’s the “under radar” guy on twitter tech that’s going to be big?

I’d say 100% @Davidjpark96

He’s building a hold co. of AI edtech startups in real time and brain dumping his learnings.

Huge fan.
