Charlie Munger used to repeat that we need to be just and fair to the other side of the table, as roles can be reversed at any time.
He insisted that if you treat the other side ruthlessly when you have the upper hand, you guarantee your own destruction when the scales inevitably tilt.
This is applicable to all aspects of life.
Unfortunately, it is usually forgotten by all ruling parties.
Memory Store (@memorydotstore) gives your team and AI agents a shared company brain.

Anyone else wish you could just talk to your podcast app?
Well, @telenardo and I did. So we built Orbit - the first AI podcast app you can talk to
Ask follow-ups, get summaries, take notes. Hands free
We don't know if it's worth pursuing yet. Please help us find out
The app is in Apple review but if you comment "Orbit" I'll DM you TestFlight access as soon as it's live 👇
People at major AI labs (using internal models) 3-4 months ahead of startup silicon valley engineers
SV founders/eng 3-6 months ahead of NY
NY founders/eng 6-12 months ahead of rest of world
Most people have no idea how fast AI shifting as 1-2 years behind SOTA

It's an unimpressive-sounding word, but one of the most powerful motivations is the motivation of the hobbyist. That's what keeps successful founders working on their companies long past the point when they've made enough to quit. It's their beloved project.
The biggest mistake we make is thinking happiness is a result of what happens to us. But happiness is a skill, not a reward. If we don’t learn to enjoy where we are now, we won’t enjoy where we’re going either.
Getting paid to think is peak everything. If you’re getting paid well to think, don’t take it for granted. That’s 1% of civilization type stuff. Your ancestors are proud and jealous that you’ve gotten this far.
The gulf in knowledge between the West Coast and East Coast is wildly broader than I’ve ever experienced, in both directions. And widening further by the day.
there are likely ~100 ppl alive today that deeply understand all of these together: product instinct, what makes good software, design, technical depth, a real model of ai, the psychology of a single user, the shape of culture, team building, the ability to motivate, & the narrative gift to make any of this actually legible to normal peeps.
in consumer, where the tam is pretty much everyone, that combinatorial scarcity is the leverage.
~100 against 8 billion. pure asymmetry.
