IT Architect @ Cisco. I am currently spending copious time going down the LLM rabbit hole. Views expressed here are my own and not the views of my employer.

I apologize to any of my twitter followers who are not interested in the union of:

* Information Technology
* Energy Technology
* Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
* Love, Laughter, and Kindness amplifiers

Thank you for tolerating my (re)tweets!

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

Hot take: Universities charge $300,000 for a degree that teaches you skills any LLM can do for free. At some point we need to have an honest conversation about whether higher education is the greatest individuals misallocation of capital in recent history.

Yesterday 274 people pushed for the summit of Mount Everest just to give their LinkedIn profile the edge.

Horrendous.

We create our own bearish problems. "We" float S&P inclusion on top of what i most fear, which is a $4 trillion valuation for SpaceX--my bet-- and we have no sellers to speak of because we are in love with Elon, so we sell Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft. I wish people weren't dumb as a bag of hammers

Just finished a US tour. Key observations:

1. US Hardware Founders: “By the time I get a quote from a US factory, I would have already built it in China. They are fast, flexible, and low-cost.”
2. US VCs: “China is the enemy, we must re-industrialize America.”
3. Google will win enterprise AI.
4. US founders are, on average, more hardcore.
5. World models are the next frontier in robotics.
6. AI data center demand is at an all-time high, but grid connections queues are getting into 2030s.
7. Power prices for data centers have gone up 3X.
8. Americans hate data centers regardless of political leaning.
9. Inference uptime requirements at an all-time low of 99%.

OK half of Indian guys in America get laid with the hottest chicks you've ever seen, and the other half are 100% convinced that Indian guys can never get laid

Pune perfectly described by @AiyyoShraddha 🤣🤣🤣
Particularly note the way she says Pune (not poona) & Pohe (not poha) like a true Punekar.

Impo perhaps one & only stand up comedian (if it's called that) with a clean sense of humor. I love seeing her shows.

Texas’ economy nearly quadrupled in 25 years:

‣ 2000: $742 billion in GDP
‣ 2025: $2.9 trillion in GDP

That growth pushed Texas from the third-largest state economy to the second-largest. #data #txeconomy

Your Codex activity now has a home, and an easier way to share it.

Codex profiles show your activity graph, streaks, lifetime tokens, peak daily tokens, and top features like plugins and /fast mode.

Private by default. Share a card when you want to.

[JUMPERZ @jumperz]

if you run codex this is worth 5 min.

it cleans up bloated thread metadata, old sessions, and logs...estimated boost is 25-50% on overall speed and workflow.

it starts with a report-only scan so you see what’s slowing you down before changing anything then

steps are simple:

>run report-only first
>reate handoffs for important active chats
>backup local codex state before maintenance
>close Codex before applying
>apply maintenance
>metadata repair only if report shows huge thread title/preview bloat
>run report again

You will notice the difference fast, especially if your codex has months of old chats, giant thread previews, and heavy logs sitting around...

[Matthew Berman @MatthewBerman]

Yes. You need a centralized way to host and version skills.

Dara on the chip he's been carrying since his family lost everything:

"My father built an incredible family business. We came here. We lost everything, and I saw it destroy my father.

As I grew up, I observed my father, who when I was a kid was a giant of a man, become less giant. He just lost that spark.

It drove myself and my brothers and my family to rebuild. Many immigrants have a chip on our shoulder, and I had a particularly big one.

But, it's never satisfied. I just believe in being all in in anything that you do.

When I'm with my kids and my family, I'm not checking messages. I'm not getting distracted.

If you're going to do something — whether that's work, sports, personal life — just go all in. Get rid of the distractions."

My updated valuation with those inputs leaves my value close to my pre-prospectus estimate, but the influx of $75 billion in offering proceeds pushes estimated value of equity to $1.3 trillion and per share value at about $100. https://t.co/vneuJFreRi

Hermes agent has been the single best remedy to my ADHD. I created a random thoughts vault in Obsidian and now whenever the flood of a million invasive thoughts come I just add them to this folder via speech to text.

I then created a markdown called life priorities that explain to Hermes exactly what’s important for me by order of priority personally and professionally. I’ve instructed Hermes to review the Obsidian vault multiple times a day and map to calendar, email, projects in progress, etc and then cross reference the priorities and deliver to me a few things.

1. A cron that acts on all of this context to deliver a beginning of day and end of day (prep for tomorrow) newsletter
2. An agent that also uses this context to send me texts throughout the day as relevant things I may need to consider (this has taken a ton of tweaking but better now)

What I want to build next? A listener, coach

A tool that has access to my screen 24/7 and is watching what I am doing and delivering proactive insights via voice/audio as I’m working
