There are many $1 Bn+ companies now in the AI space, but why is nobody calling them unicorns?

The global split we are seeing at OpenClaw is wild:

In America, installing OpenClaw on your work computer gets you fired.

In China, not installing OpenClaw gets you fired.

Two completely different theories of the next decade.

@pmddomingos I very much resonate with your thoughts!

@nikitabier @hopes_revenge @grok which location is these people talking about

[Alfred Lin @Alfred_Lin]

Playbook for building a legendary company:

- Bring together an outlier team
- Have that team come up with a novel and compelling insight
- Turn that insight into a product or service offering and iterate that offering until it has a compelling value proposition
- Turn that compelling value proposition into a unique one
- Take all of those already hard ingredients and weave them into an economic engine that has a sustainable competitive advantage
- Do all the above again and again, so the company can compound growth at scale

None of these are easy. But if it was easy, everyone would do it.

@championswimmer @iampratham @grok which different types of authentication is he talking about? Explain me with relevant examples of apps

something incredible just happened here

perhaps first evolutionary software auto heal.

i was running the system under a ralph system loop test. it identified a problem with a feature. then it studied the codebase, fixed it, deployed it automatically, verified that it worked and then the loop goes on to the next task in the list.

the fix is in production

no ci

just sudo and git push main

@SenWarren @grok tell me who these gentlemen are in the image and what do they do

[Naval @naval]

Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate.

Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own.

Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society.

Make these habits. Say no to everything else.

Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media.

Relax. Victory is assured.

i don't think the Y Combinator "pocket guide of essential advice" ever gets old...

Re: “It’s not your money”.... When you raise money, it’s not your personal money. The money is to be used to improve the company. For example, don’t go crazy on frivolous expenses that increase your monthly burn rate like an expensive office or personal secretary.

But...

It’s also important to not be afraid to spend it on things that can help push the business forward. It is possible to be too frugal.

Claude Code should be thought of as Claude Computer..

Because that’s where we’re getting a glimpse of.

Alien intelligence that has human tools (browser, filesystem, terminal commands and others) with generalized ability to do ANY task.

Terminal UX is all that’s stopping folks from utilizing this all the time.

But the GUI will come - either through Anthropic directly or someone packaging the Agent SDK neatly.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

A startup told me that one of their investors didn't like it that they were selling to newly founded startups, and wanted them to sell to bigger companies, who have more money. If investors tell you this, write them off as idiots. Selling to startups is the best thing you can do.

When Shohei Ohtani was a high school freshman, he created a detailed "dream sheet" with one central goal: to be the #1 draft pick for 8 NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball) teams.

It was a 64-cell roadmap based on a framework called the Harada Method.

Here's exactly what Shohei did 👇

1. First, some history.... The Harada Method was created by Takashi Harada, a Japanese junior high track coach. He took a team ranked last out of 380 schools and, using his system, turned them into the #1 team in the region within 3 years. They held that top spot for the next 6 years.

2. You start by placing your main goal in the center of an 8x8 grid. For Ohtani, this was "be the #1 draft pick."

3. Next, you identify 8 critical supporting pillars needed to achieve that goal. These surround the main goal.

Ohtani's 8 pillars were:
• Body
• Control
• Sharpness
• Speed
• Pitch Variance
• Personality
• Karma/Luck
• Mental Toughness

4. You then break down each of those 8 pillars into 8 smaller, actionable tasks or daily routines.

This fills out the entire 64-cell grid, turning a massive dream into a concrete, daily action plan.

To improve his karma, he listed tangible actions like:

• Showing Respect to Umpires
• Picking up trash
• Being positive
• Being someone people want to support

5. The method goes far deeper than just technical skills. It forces you to analyze your weaknesses and build confidence. It also has a highlight on service to others, emphasizing that humility and contributing to your community are essential for personal success.

6. The key to the system is daily execution and accountability. Once the 64-cell chart is complete, you turn the tasks and habits into a daily diary and a "Routine Check Sheet." It’s designed to transform abstract intentions into a measurable, daily practice.

Just a fair warning to founders: like Facebook and microsoft, I predict OpenAI will study their platform partners and compete with many of them in the coming years.

This isn't abnormal, mind you… Microsoft built windows, then destroyed their top partners lotus 1-2-3 and wordperfect with excel and word

Standup an open source llm or use pure platform plays who don't have to hit $200B in revenue to break-even in their 1.4t build outs

Every dollar you spend with openAI and every job you send to their API, might create the demise of your business
