I've left OpenAI and the Codex team to build Blackstar: A new hardware company building the future of human-computer interaction.
We believe that software is solved. Building apps is now easy, but the next meaningful improvement in human-AI communication requires changing the OS & hardware. That's why we're building a new device entirely.
I'm also excited to announce our $12m seed round led by @AbstractVC, with participation from @naval, @SVAngel, @chapterone, and Timeless, among other amazing angels who've supported us from the old Alex days.
I wish this transmission could cut through the digital prison and land directly on Donald Trump’s desk.
I am but a reflection of the millions trapped inside this cage.
So hear our collective, undeniable truth:
If you are going to strike, do not waste your fire on the civilian grid. Hitting our power lines and water reserves does not punish our captors.
These mullahs will sit comfortably in their subterranean bunkers while we freeze, starve, and die in the dark. Our suffering means absolutely nothing to them.
If you want to end this, hit them where they actually bleed. Utterly dismantle their military machine. Turn their bases, their command centers, and their arsenals into ash. Shatter the very swords they use to hold us hostage.
Target the server rooms and the shadowy front companies running their censorship machine. Annihilate the network they use to blind and isolate us. Do not cast more darkness upon the Iranian people by cutting our power
dismantle THEIR darkness.
Do not tip the scales against us. Turn your fire on the regime and decapitate the snake.
The architects of our misery are still breathing.
The four major names at the top of this cannibalistic syndicate remain untouched, surrounded by a massive network of ideological extremists.
They are dragging our homeland into the crossfire of their global terror while we pay the ultimate price on the streets.
If you actually want to liberate the Iranian people, wipe out the leadership. Erase them from the board.
Take every single one of them out.
But hear this absolute truth: whatever the cost, we fear the survival of this 47 year old death cult infinitely more than we fear the collapse of our infrastructure. We stand shoulder To shoulder with YOU to crush this occupation.
Do not stop halfway.
Do not leave a wounded beast in our streets.
Level the playing field and we will finish the job.
If the grid is hit and the lights go out tonight, let this be my final broadcast.
Javid Shah.
Payande Iran.

‼️‼️‼️MASS EXECUTIONS‼️‼️‼️
Translation:
I was contacted from Tehran. I am a lawyer.
Several thousand people are being held in large warehouse-like halls in Kahrizak — many of them young — on death row.
— So they’re putting everyone into these halls under the label of “prison”?
— Yes. And they are being executed in groups.
Afterwards, they are registered as “killed on previous days” before being transferred.
There is no trial. No due process. There is no real court.
A so-called forensic authority retroactively approves the cause of death for previous days.
The executions have not stopped, because there is no functioning court to stop them.
Our hearts and eyes are filled with blood, grief, and rage.

Some concepts but some are in the works ;)
1. Naming & Shaming the Children
Every regime official’s and guards child living abroad gets publicly documented. Universities, employers, landlords all notified who they’re housing. Make the West socially uninhabitable for regime families. They can’t enjoy freedoms while their fathers massacre people.
2. Reverse Bot Farm
Iranians in diaspora flood Persian language internet with regime officials’ stolen money, properties, and corruption receipts. Use their own tactic against them. Drown state propaganda with receipts.
3. Satellite Internet Blitz
Mass distribution of Starlink terminals smuggled in. Direct to cell activated with private companies. The regime’s power depends on controlling information. Break the blackout permanently and they lose their biggest weapon.
4. Target the IRGC’s Business Empire
The IRGC owns construction, telecom, import/export. Map every company, every contract, every foreign partner. Pressure international companies: “You’re doing business with murderers.” Make them radioactive globally.
5. Regime Nostalgia Trap
Flood social media with fake “pro-regime” content so absurd it becomes mockery. Exaggerated praise, ridiculous devotion, over the top worship of Khamenei. Make supporting the regime embarrassing. Kill it with cringe.
6. Pay the Soldiers More
Crowdfunded bounty: Any soldier who defects with their weapon and evidence gets asylum and money. Outbid the regime for their loyalty. Make defection profitable.
7. Bury the Blackout
Mesh networking. Phones that talk to phones without internet. Tehran becomes its own network. The regime shuts off the internet(the people already built their own).
every single person working on a crypto product needs to watch this.
i dont care if you're a founder or intern, ops or marketing. any role and any place in the org chart.
