Naval Ravikant literally explained how to productize yourself to escape the rat race:

[Paul Graham @paulg]

It could actually be a significant problem that Europe doesn't have enough garages. This sounds like a joke, but I'm serious. Garages let you work on stuff that doesn't matter yet, which is how big things often start. The outliers of ideas need the outliers of space.

You don't know how big a fish you are till you try a big pond.

In the 90s, people had great ideas but were bounded by compute. Now LLMs are smarter than me but bottlenecked by how slow I read.

the final stage of being smart is acting dumb

A lot of software is about to get a lot better, right before it becomes unnecessary.

Taken Sep 1, 2016 when @JonathanRoss321 convinced me we could take on the giants, build new silicon and that AI was coming. In typical SV fashion, we didn’t even have a company yet - just a term sheet from me to invest and the three of us. I spent the next month recruiting as many of the TPU team from Google Wisconsin as I could. “Welcome to chips”, I thought.

The company, as with all important companies, went through its own trials and tribulations including promoting Jonathan from CTO to CEO and the inevitable falling out and repair of his and my relationship. Anyways, it all happened for a reason.

Today we close this almost decade chapter and Jonathan starts a new one with nVidia.

I can’t thank him enough.

Sometimes it’s simply better to be lucky than good and be fortunate enough to work with great people and follow them into battle. That is me here.

Jonathan was not only the father of TPU when he was at Google but he is a technical genius of biblical proportions. He also assembled a great team with folks like @sundeep and @GavinSherry to back him up. They will also do incredible things at nvidia.

Separately, whenever something I’m involved in either crashes or wins, I reread my thoughts when I first did it. Was it luck? Was it skill? What did I learn? What do I do now?

YMMV, but I am attaching the original investment memo I wrote a decade ago.

I’ll do a more substantive view on why this deal matters and what my guess is about the future of AI silicon from here on an upcoming episode of the pod.

In the meantime, Merry Christmas. I am very thankful. So thank you Jonathan, Sunny, Gavin and the entire Groq team. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

In 1971, money changed from a natural system (gold) to a socialist system (fiat).

Crypto is tech to replace socialist money with a free-market system.

Market systems are inherently competitive and as tech evolves, new monies will continue to emerge to challenge existing ones.

Every single prediction about automation reducing jobs has been wrong. Every. Single. Prediction.

Automation has consistently created more jobs than it has eliminated. Better jobs, actually. The proof is in the fact that we have the lowest unemployment rate in human history, despite all prior innovation cycles.

The next innovation will do the same.

In an age of infinite leverage, judgement is the most important skill.
