Today we're announcing the new Opal to build the operating system for attention.

1 million people already use Opal every single day. We raised $10M.

Personal AGI is coming.  The bottleneck won't be access to intelligence.

It will be attention.

In Österreich sind Unternehmer_innen immer die Bösen. Weiß nicht woher die Steuern für das teurer werdende Pensions- und Gesundheitssystem in einem älter werdenden Land kommen soll.
Wir wollen keine Ausländer rechts und keine Unternehmer links.
Übrig bleibt der Wohlstandsverlust.

In 2017, I interviewed with Elizabeth Holmes to be Head of Finance at Theranos.

I'm convinced I learned more in those 45 minutes than I did in 10 years of school and work.

Today, she reports to federal prison to serve out an 11 year sentence for fraud.

Time for a story 🧵:

Opal now works with your iPhone native settings, like Do Not Disturb.

For example, whenever I turn Do Not Disturn ON => Opal kicks in and all my distracting apps are off as well.
