You only live once, so make sure to spend as much time as possible on your computer. You won’t have access to it when you die

@GergelyOrosz Its interesting how they seem to be able to down rank AI generated posts, but are terrible at hiding AI generated replies

I think the hardest part about a real GitHub replacement is that the first feature people will want is “GitHub but with 100% uptime”, which is going to be hard for any startup to attain with today’s traffic loads

What happened to no more side quests?

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI!

The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday.

This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show.

Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward.

Where are people monitoring the situation of the situation room from?

[Gary Grumbach @GaryGrumbach]

The viral, much-anticipated @Polymarket “Situation Room” is not going as planned.

Due to a power issue, most of the TVs aren’t working.

This globe is, though.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took.

Thank you for getting us to this point.
