UPDATE: Defiance's 2x SpaceX ETF $SPCL is LIVE today (they did it via name/strat change a la $MJ) and it's already done $10m in volume and is up 46%. All this bf the actual SpaceX has any price or volume data. Does that mean SPCX will open up 23%? Feels very Back to the Future.
Andrej Karpathy spent 2h showing how he actually uses AI day to day
he's a co-founder of OpenAI and led AI at Tesla, so when he shows how he works, it’s worth watching
and the whole session is just him telling the machine what he wants in simple terms, like he's briefing a coworker
watch what's actually happening the entire time:
> he describes the task in normal words
> it goes off and does the work
> he glances at the result and nudges it with one more sentence
that's the whole skill, and you've had it since you learned to talk
the only gap between that and a worker that runs on its own is handing that sentence a schedule and the tools to act
check his work, then build the version that keeps working when you stop

BREAKING: Inside Marc & Ben's Multi-Family Office — a16z Perennial
Chief Investment Officer, Michel Del Buono
Why wealth management is broken & how to financially prepare for a SpaceX IPO
This is a closer look at how $50M–$1B+ personal portfolios are actually constructed & managed
Important: Michel also explains why many founders make critical mistakes immediately after their first liquidity event, & how to avoid them.
We cover:
• The “no man’s land” between wealth managers & asset managers
• How founders should handle liquidity events ($50M–$1B+)
• Diversifying concentrated stock without killing upside
• Venture returns & why manager selection matters more than exposure
• Real estate, taxes, & after-tax alpha
• Why volatility is an opportunity, not a risk
• How to actually choose (and not get trapped by) a wealth manager
