@karpathy@kuroke01@gallabytes anyone who’s been here long enough has seen the decline into rampant toxicity. And yes the algo feeds it, doesn’t matter how false or wildly off the mark something is, as long as it’s edgy, it get amplified like a raging forest fire.
can’t blame you. we know it’s not the same.
@TheArsenalMind Easy - Arteta out.
He’s a great coach, but you have to be honest with where we stand.
If the objective is winning the league, the evidence overwhelmingly says he can’t bring it home.
There’s no shame in that.
@AFTVMedia I honestly cannot stand yardman and his utterly terrible takes….
I don’t watch his post game interviews
And I certainly wouldn’t watch this.
Everything else on AFTV, I don’t mind
Jeff Bezos explains why he didn’t take additional equity building Amazon
Jeff is asked why he only paid himself $80,000 per year and never took additional equity during his tenure as CEO of Amazon. He responds:
“I asked the comp committee of the board not to give me any comp. My view was I was a founder. I already owned a significant amount of the company, and I just didn’t feel good about taking more. I felt I had plenty of incentive. I owned more than 10% of the company, and earlier — before it was diluted by various things — more than 20% of the company. I just felt how could I possibly need more incentive?”
Jeff continues:
“Most founders own big chunks of the company. They’re more like owner-operators. The way they increase their wealth is not by getting more equity. They just want to make the equity they have more valuable. And so I just would have felt icky about it. And I’m actually very proud of that decision.”
Jeff is especially proud of how much wealth he’s created for other people:
“Somebody needs to make a list where they rank people by how much wealth they’ve created for other people — instead of the Forbes list where it ranks you by your own wealth. Amazon’s market cap is $2.3 trillion today. I own about $200 billion-ish of it. So if you take $2.3 trillion and subtract out the piece I kept for myself, then I’ve created something like $2.1 trillion of wealth for other people. That should put me pretty high on some kind of list. And that’s a better list — how much wealth have you created for other people?”

@theprivbanker Honestly, my perspective is this - it’s still early if the thesis on $QS plays out.
In this case, time is your friend, and Q42025 /Q1 2026 would be phenomenal entry points for a long term position - with less commercialization risk to worry about.
@kingaj408 this has to be a squeeze, and if there’s material news at earnings, it will go supernova.
suffice to say ALL eyes are now on earnings. May be the most consequential ER in a while.
i wish you listened.
on to the earnings call and if anything material is announced - it will be explosive - 17% short interest as of today.
now, regardless of price movement (up or down), this is differentiated tech.
Think LEDs vs incandescent bulbs.
Needless to say, if you are a long term investor in $QS and have been following the company, I don’t see how you don’t add more on this news…
conviction.
