If you are broke at 40, you are living in poverty, if you are broke at 60 you are living in multi-dimensional poverty.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining OpenAI and look forward to working with the exceptional team there.

It was a difficult decision to move on. I’m incredibly proud of the amazing team at Google and everything we’ve built together. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with all of you.

[Ed Humbling @edhumbling]

Invest more. Proud of you.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

💰 As a now newly minted venture capital investor in true VC fashion we dropped by @a16z to find more deals 😃

Andreessen Horowitz is one of the largest VC funds in the world managing about $90B in assets and founded by @pmarca and @bhorowitz in 2009

In 2022, a16z published the "American Dynamism" manifesto, which has a lot of overlap with e/acc, because since ~2016 American culture had become very anti-tech and pessimistic about the future with the birth of the degrowth movement

Growth was bad, inventing new things was bad, everything was problematic!

American Dynamism promoted being optimistic about the future and technological growth, which seems obvious in the America of today, but it wasn't obvious at all in 2022, and it's thanks to that and many other things that you see America excelling again in 2026

@stuffyokodraws invited us to their office and kindly showed us around!

They have a free coworking for their portfolio companies to use, in case they don't have an office yet and also I heard there's lots of robots but I didn't see them today

Most interesting is at the front desk is a very beautiful Art Deco sculpture on the wall (I heard it's new)

And that's not a coincidence. Exactly 100 years ago, Art Deco was the art movement that was also about relentless optimism and growth, like American Dynamism and e/acc! It's my favorite art movement (and my dad's too)

Sadly we did not run into @pmarca, maybe next time!

Anyway I'd love to invest in more companies with all my saved up money from 95% indie hacker profit margins because it can't all go into ETFs! So if you're interested, check my little https://t.co/sQ0aiU82PA page and try find my email 😊

How to lose $600 million:

Step 1: Get a message from Cursor CEO in 2022
Step 2: Don't see it
Step 3: Don't respond
Step 4: Don't help with content
Step 5: Don't negotiate for 1% advisory shares
Step 6: Cursor sells for $60 billion
Step 7: You sir are $600 million poorer

All jokes aside, massive congrats to @mntruell and the @cursor_ai team!

The algorithm rewards cringe tooo

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

You’ll never achieve anything if you are afraid of being cringe

Then again this is from someone trying to use looksmaxxing to achieve outsize return, good luck with that

Sometimes it pays to wait...

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

Microsoft's AI gamble makes me chuckle, as they got so many things wrong because of hubris. They are now realizing who their real competitors are and the advantage they still have. Meta is a dumpster fire. Google is the only one that played it right, but still has significant issues. Apple is the smartest out of all of them. They simply waited to see it all play out.

Never stop being a good person, just change who receives your kindness.

@PeterDiamandis @elonmusk He has a great heart. Anyone who knows people understands that.

He is a testament to true faith, and not quitting in the face of adversity.
