If you want to start a startup, don't learn "entrepreneurship." Learn how to build things. The hard part of startups is not "entrepreneurship" but product: to know what to build, and to be able to build it.

The most basic way AI could blow up imo. I'm not saying it does but this is the most obvious way I can see it happening

- Per seat subscriptions are massively subsidized. The flat fee was priced way below what heavy usage actually costs

- For real business use you have to move to the API anyway. Data protections, work integrations and compliance officer approval

- On the API you pay metered rates, and businesses are burning credits way faster than the per seat pricing ever led them to expect

- This is everywhere right now. Internally for us, Codex users, Uber torching its entire 2026 AI budget in 4 months, the Microsoft comments. Just go try an API

I shared more on this here: https://t.co/iZrqrCAIRW

- And I don't think most businesses have the money to keep paying increasing API rates without a real change to how they operate (caps needed)

- Because they have a cheap alternative. They can reach open source models through any aggregator (OpenRouter, Venice, Baseten, Together) and still get strong privacy. Venice private data centers, or E2EE/TEE serving GLM 5.1.

More on open source inference provider raises here: https://t.co/7kf56P44yQ

- And the discount is enormous. DeepSeek V4 codes within a hair of Opus on SWE bench at roughly 1/30th the price, and the cheapest open models run closer to 1/100th

- Chinese labs open source frontier grade models. The model is the single biggest cost an inference provider has, and they get it for free

- This idea dies if China goes closed source. That is actually bullish web2 AI labs, because if everyone is closed you pay up for the best intelligence. China goes closed source if they are tired of giving away an asset and they want the revenue and data flow to train new models

- Is this showing up in web2 AI lab revenue yet? No. Revenue is off the charts. Anthropic went from 9B to 47B run rate in five months

- So go forward, what happens?

- I think revenue slowly starts leaking to the open source inference providers (see Venice usage, OpenRouter's $113M raise, Baseten is raising at $11B or triple its valuation in three months, on revenue that went from $200M to $600M annualized in a single quarter)

- It doesnt move overnight, but it caps the labs ability to raise prices, and margins are already deeply negative. OpenAI is reportedly running near negative 122%

- With margins that bad there is no cash flow, so the labs are fully dependent on outside capital to buy GPUs, train models, and keep subsidizing usage (I.e. see Google tapping $80b equity sale, granted 30b for employee RSU taxes. Clearly they think Equity is overvalued or you wouldn't sell it)

- The break comes when that capital stops. Pricing is capped so margins cant improve, and the moment investors lose conviction on payback, the whole flow reverses

- Why would they lose conviction on payback? Back to the start - the inability to improve margins or get businesses to pay more

- This is also limiting, if we start making new drugs with AI or create entirely new businesses, you better believe people will pay up to the max for AI usage

[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth.

It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter.
Less than a refrigerator light bulb.

The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light.

By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery.

NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise.

The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself.

Launched 1977.
Still transmitting.
Still being heard.

We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in.

That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

Microsoft Bans Claude Code After AI Costs More Than The Humans It Replaced

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

There is something darkly amusing about the fact that selling victimhood to the most privileged people in history has become such a lucrative and big business.

When I was on tour with @jordanbpeterson he talked about many things, but probably the most common recurring theme was the "Spirit of Cain". It seems our ancient and sacred texts tell these stories for a reason: victimhood is easy, seductive and addictive. And now profitable too.

We are living through a perpetual victimhood escalation battle where people (and groups) now compete not on merit, but on the supposed disadvantages they face. Which makes perfect sense since this is the incentive structure our societies have been encouraged and forced to adopt.

NYC tech week is about to kick off woth +1500 events with founders, investors, experts, and events.

Im off to a private AWS event now to discuss infrastructure monitoring in midtown.

If you're in the area or let me know what you are interested in. Happy to link up

@elonmusk Having a huge amount of top tier compute and Cursor wasn't enough, so they made the entire process more efficient 💪 excited ti see what the new models will be like

anyone try higgsfield mcp with claude? I kept getting errors for uploading images and the fix was to upload the images to higgsfield directly.

I ended up just trying Grok Imagine Agent and was able to run native language workflows no problem

Elon Musk just measured your existence by how many times your atoms have been inside a dying star.

Musk: “How many times have your atoms been at the center of a star? I think it’s like on average three or four times.”

Every atom in your body has already survived the core of a star.

Multiple times.

Crushed under pressures that would flatten planets.

Superheated to millions of degrees.

Blown apart in explosions so violent they forged new elements.

Then gravity pulled those scattered pieces back together.

New stars formed.

And the cycle repeated.

For 13.8 billion years, your atoms have been fuel for the most violent process in the universe.

And they are not done.

Musk: “In terms of existence as measured by the number of times your atoms will be at the center of a star, we seem to be roughly halfway.”

Halfway.

Your atoms have been through the furnace three or four times.

They will go through three or four more.

But right now, in this impossibly thin sliver between cycles, those atoms are doing something they have never done before.

They are conscious.

For billions of years before you, they burned through stellar cores with no awareness.

No memory.

No sense of what they were or where they had been.

After you, they will return to that state.

Unconscious matter drifting through space until the next star claims them.

This is the only moment in their entire journey where they can look back at the stars that made them and understand.

Musk: “If you want to look at the big picture… that’s the really big picture.”

The big picture is not that we are small.

Everyone already knows that.

The big picture is that we are temporary witnesses to a process that does not need witnesses.

Stars do not need observers to burn.

Atoms do not need anyone to understand where they have been.

The universe ran for billions of years with no one in it.

It will run for billions more after the last conscious thing disappears.

But right now, matter is examining itself.

That has never happened before in 13.8 billion years.

You are not a person who happens to contain ancient atoms.

You are ancient atoms that briefly figured out how to think.

The universe did not design consciousness.

It designed stars.

Consciousness was the accident.

And the accident is half over.

Good strat

[Cedric Roberge @Cedric_Roberge]

A lot of people have been asking me how I marketed my peptide tracking app Pep AI to make over $125,000 in revenue in 80 days. Here's what I did.

- Influencer marketing: signed over 100 content creators in my app's niche. They all post once or twice a week about the app on TikTok and Instagram. We pay them based on engagement. So if they average 1k-2k views per video we give them around $100 for 8 posts.

- Affiliate deals: Content creators make 15% of subscription sales under there personal code. This way they care and put more effort into the posts. On top of that they'll post more than we asked them too because they want to make more money. We still get 85% so it works out pretty well.

- Meta ads and TikTok spark ads: We run meta ads on the best performing videos from our creators. For TikTok spark ads we get the code from the creators and run ads on there posts that performed well.

- Another tip is YOU have to spend money to make money. Don't be afraid to pay people at the beginning and try different marketing channels. Find out which ones work and go all in. You don't need to be profitable right away.

- Outreach: You need to be sending over 100 messages a day to content creators. We hired people to do this for us. Our team sends out over 1,000 messages to content creators every single week. You need an army of content creators.

- Free channels: Take advantage of free channels like reddit. Find groups similar to your niche and post in there. You can't promote or it's considered spam and they'll take it down. However, if you post it like this it'll work: "I have been taking a GLP for 2 months now and I have been looking for an app that can track it. Thinking about making one, would anyone be interested in this? If yes what would you all like to see on the app?" Then respond to comments with the app name saying you found one. You'll also get good feedback for your app from this.

- Lastly: Build in public. Post about your startup journey on all platforms: X, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit. You'll get great feedback and people will download your app to see what you've built.

I hope this all helps! This is what has worked for me and I truly believe it translates over to any app. If you have any questions feel free to comment, message me, or book a call from the link in my bio. Also feel free to download my app and see what it looks like from this link: https://t.co/8wnc8rHsPL

🚨THE FBI CREATED A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY.. LISTED IT ON UNISWAP.. HIRED MARKET MAKERS TO PUMP IT.. THEN ARRESTED EVERYONE WHO SAID YES..

THIS IS THE CRAZIEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!!

The FBI built an actual ERC-20 token on Ethereum called NexFundAI.. 100 billion token supply.. A professional website.. Whitepapers promising "passive income through AI-powered investing"..

It looked exactly like every other crypto project.. Because that was the point..

Undercover agents posed as the founding team.. Then reached out to professional market-making firms and said "we need you to fake our trading volume"..

Every single firm said yes..

Here's what they recorded..

Gotbit.. A firm run by a 26-year-old Russian who publicly bragged in 2019 that he built a business faking trade volumes.. His team kept internal spreadsheets with columns literally labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume"..

When asked how fast they could pump NexFundAI's volume to $1 million per day.. They said "6 hours.. It will cost about $200"..

$200 to fake $1 million in daily trading volume..

MyTrade.. Run by a guy who called himself "the mastermind".. He explained the exact psychology of the scam on camera..

"We make the chart look like a really nice roller coaster ride.. That's where people jump in.. We have to make them lose money in order to make profit"..

He said that on a recorded FBI video call..

CLS Global.. A Dubai-based firm.. Their bots generated 98% of NexFundAI's total trading volume.. When the FBI asked if they could sync fake volume spikes with fake news announcements.. They said absolutely..

ZM Quant.. Bots executing 10 to 20 trades per minute through dozens of wallets to look organic..

All of them knew it was fraud.. All of them did it anyway.. All of it was recorded..

And the clients were even worse..

Saitama.. A meme coin that hit $7.5 billion market cap.. The founders coordinated buys through private Telegram chats.. Sent "pump it" memes while manipulating the price.. Then dumped on retail investors..

$7.5 billion.. Built entirely on fake volume.. Every penny of real money came from retail investors who thought the momentum was organic..

One founder left Saitama and started Robo Inu.. Used Gotbit again.. Another launched VZZN.. Same playbook..

Lillian Finance.. Founder claimed to be a defense contractor who addressed Congress.. Marketed the token as funding children's hospitals.. Pocketed everything..

When the FBI shut it down.. They seized $25 million in one day.. 18 people indicted across the US, UK, and Portugal.. The CEO of Gotbit was arrested in Portugal and extradited.. Sentenced to 8 months plus $23 million forfeiture..

But here's the part that broke my brain..

Real people bought NexFundAI..

The FBI's fake token.. With zero utility.. Zero real developers.. Created solely to catch criminals.. Attracted real retail investors because the fake volume made the chart look bullish..

When the FBI pulled the liquidity to end the operation.. Those people lost real money.. On a government-issued token..

The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back..

And it gets worse..

Within 24 hours of the DOJ announcing the sting.. Someone cloned the FBI's exact smart contract.. Launched a copycat token.. Rode the viral momentum.. And made $127,000 in a single day..

Using the exact same manipulation tactics the FBI just arrested 18 people for..

Then in 2026.. The FBI did it again.. New token called Lexobit.. 10 more arrests.. Including operators extradited from Singapore..

IRS forensics showed that in one firm's trading.. 1,209 out of 1,221 consecutive transactions went straight back to wallets the firm controlled.. 99% circular..

The FBI proved what everyone in crypto suspected..

The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured..

And every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.
