@Jason I think AAPL is first to develop sustainable recurring hardware subscription revenues with the iPhone upgrade program in next 5 yrs

[Lee Edwards @ledwards]

Holy fuck. Could more politicians just say things like this, please?

@businessbarista Requires someone taking the proverbial org chart, tearing it up, and throwing it out the window, replacing it with something like this. Unfortunately have to agree with your timeline because after 20 attempts the AI still couldn’t figure out how to do this correctly

[Alex Lieberman @businessbarista]

I stole this idea and now use it with every single employee.

It’s the best illustration I’ve seen of teaching someone to be high agency.

It says there are 5 levels of work:

Level 1: “There is a problem.”

Level 2: “There is a problem, and I’ve found some causes.”

Level 3: “Here’s the problem, here are some possible causes, and here are some possible solutions.”

Level 4: “Here’s the problem, here’s what I think caused it, here are some possible solutions, and here’s the one I think we should pick.”

Level 5: “I identified a problem, figured out what caused it, researched how to fix it, and I fixed it. Just wanted to keep you in the loop.”

Using this framework, here’s what I say to every new employee…

You will live at Level 4 from Day 1 and as we build trust you will rise to Level 5.

Being high agency doesn’t just mean tackling problems in this way. It means your entire way of working should be oriented to being a Level 4+ employee.

Plz feel free to steal it as well.

And ty @stephsmithio for the framework!

Great listen

In many ways, Thrive is helping define the current era of venture capital. @vhankes is one of the best in the business; he's behind their investments in OpenAI, SpaceX, Databricks, Stripe, and many more.

He's also an excellent board member and friend. Excited for more people to hear his thinking, hope you enjoy.

Hi @elonmusk , I need a cyber wagon. For everything from schlepping toddlers to beach gear. Obvious electric powered with the cyber wheels. Would come in a good package with a cyber stroller and the cyber golf push cart. I’m thinking like the ATV but a bit more practical.

The more I learn about what’s coming with AI, the more I’m convinced sports is the best investment/has the widest moat.

AI can take away jobs, transform the economy, create content, etc… but it can never replace the human struggle/triumph and unpredictability that is sports.

@elonmusk Why not the X party?

@whojoemama @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk the @Tesla T would look great over the state of Texas and would be great ROAS

[dmill @dmill]

Feels like everyone is tweeting about this comment I made in 2019. Yes, we renamed the Gulf of Mexico. Yes, we should sponsor the whole map and use the proceeds to pay down the deficit. Amazon would pay a lot of money for the naming rights to the state of Washington.

[dmill @dmill]

@realDonaldTrump you should sell naming rights for each of the states to companies like stadium naming rights. Ten year deals to fund the deficit. Starbuck's Washington or Ford's Michigan. Can even put logos on the map.

@FutureJurvetson @elonmusk do your thing

Meeting a Dan who’s not the man is so fucking heartbreaking.

@magnoliabakery @united Really disappointing dish

[dmill @dmill]

@magnoliabakery this was really disappointing, would consider a taking your brand off this dish or calling it something different to lower expectations

@Uber driver is listening to the @elonmusk and @lexfridman podcast. This is why we call comfort electric.

It's definitely getting a lot bigger and the PLL has done a great job of growing the sport as well"

Waymo has now driven over 20M miles in SF and Phoenix.

Compared to a human driver, it has had 84% fewer airbag deployed crashes and 73% fewer injury causing crashes

[dmill @dmill]

@stoolpresidente silence? Need your live update

[dmill @dmill]

My @Waymo just honked at someone trying to parallel park. Just like a human driver.
