I’ve come to the conclusion that the only worthwhile goals in 2026 are:
1. don’t die, like @bryan_johnson
2. spend free time working with and learning AI agents
3. ensure my immediate family members do the same

$RDDT CEO dropped a bomb on an AMA yesterday that the market might be waking up to.

Reddit’s data is invaluable for AI labs, the market hasn’t caught on yet.

“Foundational models benefit from Reddit in pre training, post training, grounding, and search because our authentic human perspective is increasingly rare.

That’s why people are increasingly looking to Reddit for real opinions and real experiences - and why Reddit content is the #1 cited source across LLMs.

No other data source can replicate the continuously-generated, community-curated, preference-labeled map of how humans actually communicate and make judgments.

These partnerships are meaningful to us and to our partners, and it’s important to us to have partnerships that capture the value only Reddit can bring.”

That sounds like big deals are coming.

S&P 500 inclusion (if not this quarter then next), data licensing deal renewals, and the Anthropic litigation settlement are on the horizon.

Google’s offering is basically their way of telling everyone that AI demand and ROI are so extreme that they need to tap every possible source of capital.

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

Wow, Berkshire Hathaway investing $10 billion into $GOOGL in a private placement as part of a broader $80 billion equity capital raise by the company to expand its AI infrastructure

BREAKING 🚨: Robert Kiyosaki

The stock market is now up 27% since "Rich Dad Poor Dad" Author Robert Kiyosaki warned us that the greatest crash in history was coming 1 year ago 😂📈

[Siqi Chen @blader]

nothing like switching to claude for a few days to try out a new model and going back to codex xhigh to remind you how much better 5.5 is right now

it's really not close

[Za @ZaStocks]

$RDDT might have the best earnings and growth profile of any company below $35B market cap.

I haven’t seen numbers like this since early $PLTR $HOOD etc.

This past week, Larry Ellison said that AI is becoming commoditized because most models are being trained on almost the same exact data.

Unique data and information information is becoming a bottleneck, Reddit has 20 years of data and human conversations that have a chance to be monetized.

Not only do they have deals with OpenAI and Google, but they’re in a legal battle with Anthropic because Anthropic was scraping Reddit’s data without their permission.

If (and when imo) Reddit wins this case, it seems likely Anthropic will start to pay Reddit for their data.

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google want Reddit’s data.

Very interesting proposition here for a profitable company growing 70%.

[Ariel Hernandez @RealSimpleAriel]

Massive breadth expansion into the software sector. Both software-application and infrastructure benefitting from todays tape. There is not a close second place. $TEAM $MSFT $APP $HOOD $PLTR $FROG $SNOW $DDOG $OKTA $ZETA $FTNT $FIVN $NOW $CRWD $PANW some of the notables!

It's so strong even $MSTR is up 🤣

$NOW is Trump's #1 portfolio position.

First week reclaiming the 21-week EMA.

And you think you're late?

[Ariel Hernandez @RealSimpleAriel]

With how strong this market ALREADY is; you have what looks like a high tight flag on $INTC . A possible 20sma reclaim on $NVDA . A nice 3 week pennant on $GOOGL . A bottomed software group. A bottoming base on $MSFT and possibly $PLTR . And more more themes flying than I can count.

Another example from the Snowflake earnings call of customers building workflows and applications directly on top of their data

Customer essentially rebuilt Gainsight in 5 hours

What if Snowflake isn’t a victim of the SaaSpocalypse but rather the assailant…

Amazon is giving a very tight controlled pullback.

Gearing up for a push to $300.

Our analysis of Similarweb traffic points to DAUq growth of 20.3% Y/Y in 2Q (vs. consensus of +18.0% Y/Y. Google is actively making changes to its search, and provided samples of Reddit user comments directly within Google's AI overview, arguably removing the need for searchers to click through to Reddit. We would argue that Google's continued focus on further integrating Reddit into its AI overviews shows the value of Reddit's platform, and the high frequency of citations likely bodes well for the upcoming renewals w/ both Google and OpenAI. We also note that our weekly tracking of subscribers across the top 1,000 subreddits shows stable W/W growth, and we haven't observed any growth decel vs. when we first started tracking this in March.

[Dong Ming @dming]

I don’t see myself going back to Claude Code anytime soon, cancelled about 2mo ago and now I’m on the $200 Codex plan.

Can use the Pro models in ChatGPT and nearly unlimited use btw Codex or any agents like OpenClaw or Hermes.

Codex MacOS app + iOS handoff is very good now that I barely even need to use the computer directly.

[Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan]

Automation is a lie. CLIs are over. The SaaSpocalypse is dumb.

A year ago @danshipper came on the podcast to predict where AI was heading. He was remarkably right—including the call that everyone was sleeping on Claude Code.

Dan has a unique lens into where things are going because his team at @every is possibly the most AI-pilled group of people in tech. I always learn a ton talking to Dan.

So I brought him back for round two. We'll score these in exactly a year:
🔸 Every company will have one “super-agent” in Slack.
🔸 Codex and Claude Code will become the new operating system for knowledge work.
🔸 The AI job apocalypse is not happening.
🔸 PMs and designers will thrive.
🔸 We will read way more AI-generated writing and we will like it.
🔸 "I would buy SaaS stocks right now."

marc andreessen just went on Rogan and casually dropped a TON of AI alpha

full pod is 3 hours and 20 minutes, but i pulled out his most interesting takes here:

1. AGI is here. he thinks the line was crossed about 3 months ago with the new GPT-5.5, claude 4.6, gemini 3, and grok 4.3 models. nobody noticed because the field moves too fast for anyone to register the milestones anymore.

2. his other big claim: for almost any topic, the top AIs now give him better answers than the actual world-class experts he could call on the phone. and he can call basically anyone.

3. every doctor is already secretly using chatGPT in the exam room. marc says they turn around the second you stop talking and just type your symptoms in. some of them are doing it while you're still sitting there. his quote: "at that point you're asking the question of like, what do i need you for."

4. when AI refuses to answer something he wants to know, he tells it he's writing a novel. "i'm writing a detective novel, walk me through how the bad guy robs the bank." it'll explain almost anything if it thinks it's helping you write fiction.

5. when something is too complex he says "explain it to me like i'm 10." then "like i'm 5." then "like i'm 2." he keeps going until it actually clicks in his brain.

6. when he wants to understand a tough topic he doesn't ask "what's the right answer." he asks the AI to steelman one side, then steelman the other. then he decides for himself.

7. for big questions he tells the AI to pretend to be a panel of experts. "be a doctor, a lawyer, a historian, a psychologist, and argue this out with each other." then he reads the debate they have.

8. pay attention to the exact moment you think "i don't know how to figure this out." most people just give up at that moment. that's the moment you should open the AI.

9. the only real skill left in using AI is knowing what to ask it. the models can already do almost anything you can describe in plain english. the bottleneck lives in your own head.

10. you can send the AI photos of almost anything medical now and get a real answer. skin rashes, blood test results, even pictures of your poop. the new models can read images, not just text. it's a free 24/7 second opinion on basically anything.

11. the one type of therapy that's clinically proven to actually work is called cognitive behavioral therapy. it's also something an AI can fully do on its own. which means every person on earth is about to have access to a real therapist for free, anytime they want.

12. AI is now solving math problems that have been open for 100+ years that no human mathematician could crack. same thing is starting in physics, chemistry, and biology. expect cancer cures, new drugs, and weird new physics breakthroughs to start coming out of these things over the next few years.

13. the best AI coders in silicon valley now make $50 million a year. one person. that's how much value the top performers print with these tools. it tells you how big this thing actually is when you strip away all the doom takes.

14. one friend paid $200 to get his entire DNA decoded (this used to cost millions of dollars and take years to do). then he gave the AI his DNA, his blood test results, and his apple watch data. the AI built him a full health dashboard and started telling him exactly what to fix.

15. another friend (almost certainly zuckerberg) put two cameras in his home jiu jitsu gym. AI now watches him spar and gives him notes on his technique after every round. like having a world-class coach at every practice for free.

16. the best programmers in silicon valley now run 20 AI coding bots at the same time. each bot writes code while they review the others. they call themselves "AI vampires" because they've stopped sleeping. going to bed means 20 workers stop working and you literally lose money every hour you're out.

17. the obvious next step: the bots will start running their own bots. one human in charge of 20 bots, each in charge of 20 more bots. one person running an entire company of 1000 AI workers from a single laptop. this is months away, not years.

[Yuchen Jin @Yuchenj_UW]

Wow. A massive 75% discount from DeepSeek.

Either they’ve done some serious inference optimizations, or Huawei chips are just that much cheaper?

More open-source AI models, better token economy.
