Dear @tim_cook could you help me with this one? 50/50 I would say. When the QuickTake came out you were cutting the grass with a compaq lawn mower lol. Good times, Compaq Presario… cool pc
Well, I never emailed Steve Jobs, my bad. I recently sent a linkedin message to Apple employees that worked with him. The story goes this way. I published some cool wallpapers online and one of it had my photoshoped portrait in the background, took with a digital QuickTake 100. Still in pijamas, the original facebook indexed at what was used to be Google at the time; by searching the artist name. Eventually the story goes on, that allegedly Fifa stole my dual monitor wallpapers for a DirecTV 2006 world cup ad. How about that? I like to think Steve Jobs saw those wallpapers, imagine if I had put a valid email in the artist info lol, it was [email protected], but I never wrote him because I am an idiot 🤷
The email was not real. Lost in translation

,@PalmerLuckey on Peter Thiel, @pmarca, and raising venture capital:
"People say, 'It's so difficult to get a warm intro to people.'"
"Marc Andreessen has a really good point on this."
"He says, 'You know the reason that I want a warm intro for anybody that I'm going to invest in? Because if you can't get anyone in my network—if you can't get any of the 10,000 people with my phone number to say a nice word about you, and you can't track down anyone dumb enough to connect you with me—why would I talk to you? That's part of the test.'"
"I was a 19-year-old kid working a minimum wage job with no college degree, living in a 19-foot camper trailer—and Peter Thiel gave me a million dollars when nobody else would to start Oculus."

Apple adding 30 FTE to the global sourcing org as FDE’s (forward deployed engineers) to help ramp AI usage inside the Sourcing org
It’s really hard to overstate how big of a shift this is. This is a company that 6-9 months ago strictly prohibited Sourcing teams from using LLMs
