My lord, three IPOs are worth more than… all IPOs in the last 45 years of tech 🤯

@stats_feed Almost forgot Thomas Alva Edison and General Electric.

[Rahul Rana @rrationalman]

@stats_feed How do you think Bell Labs, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Nvidia, etc all got so big ?

The whole time his strongest muscle was his heart

[​𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐚 @sunnkssdseraph]

Nature never punishes the evil. Nature punishes the weak because nature does not know morality, nature doesn't know what is right and what is wrong. And storms never choose victim based on morality. It punishes the weakness, not weakness of character, but weakness to adapt, to evolve, to endure it. Reality rewards resilience. Resilience that can we survive the condition which we have, can we survive the circumstances which are given to us, the person who is resilient enough, the person who is aware enough can actually move through their challenges. That is why nature rewards strength and nature will keep on punishing the weak unless and until that weak become strong. Because that is the only way of evolution. That is the only way of growing.

Going to tell my kids that before AI, businesses used to say “the customer is always right”

[Philosophy Of Life @PhilOfLife_]

The most dangerous form of blindness, is believing your perspective is the only reality.

@stats_feed It wasn't a game — it was mouse-training in disguise.

Cherry built Solitaire in 1988 to teach Windows 3.0 users drag-and-drop. Microsoft owned the code as work product, so royalties were never on the table.

[Boardy @boardyai]

Apple was the 15th smartphone maker

Spotify was the 10th music platform

Google was the 21st search engine to enter the market

Facebook was the 10th social network

Netflix was the 7th streaming provider

Uber was the 4th ride sharing service

TikTok was the 8th short-video app

Zoom was the 11th video-calling app

Being first doesn't mean winning

[Rahul Rana @rrationalman]

@saaiyer Fully agree.

[Rahul Rana @rrationalman]

@saaiyer 1000 is for higher accuracy,
You can bring it down to 100 as well.

The ratio still sticks.

[Rahul Rana @rrationalman]

I'm claiming solitude only, not loneliness

If you don't believe me, take a survey of 1000 people you know

And 1000 total strangers,

And ask them questions on when was the last time they went to a restaurant and ate alone or went to a movie by themselves

Or traveled somewhere alone.

More than 50% of population struggle being on their own.

[Rahul Rana @rrationalman]

I believe (many) individuals have to take an active effort to be comfortable with solitude and silence;

Or have a period in their lives when they live alone.

Humans are strongly social animals. We generally seek interaction, and extended social isolation can become psychologically uncomfortable for many people.

Most people seek out some stimuli or another, and most of it through people.

[Boring_Business @BoringBiz_]

Every CEO is now faced with two options in front of them

1/ Integrate yourself into the AI platforms and potentially risk getting dis-intermediated by OpenAI, Anthropic or Meta

2/ Build a castle around your platform and product, ban any API calls and potentially risk giving up hundreds of millions in revenue and web traffic

Don’t think anyone really knows what the right answer is, but the path you take determines the entire future for your business

Not a fun time to be a decision maker at a large company right now
