Founders must stop trying to building 2010-era businesses with 2026-era technology.

Don't try to rebuild Foursquare or Yelp.

Don't try to recreate Basecamp by 37 Signals with $10/mo SaaS pricing.

Don't underprice! If it works it's worth a lot more.

Don't be tempted to become "Tech enabled PE" with revenue tricks.

The rules of tech changed with AI. Play the new game.

[Elias Manousos @emanousos]

@LargeFamDad Very true

[Varun @varun_mathur]

Why we are building both an Uber-like distributed P2P AI network (drive volume and habit, operate unprofitably, cost of local electricity) and a decentralized, blockchain-driven P2P network (most profitable due to highest verifiability).

[Elias Manousos @emanousos]

How far down will this rabbit hole go? Given it worked probably pretty far.
