I love how everyone thought Elon is building a superapp out of twitter, when he actually is building an AI giant around it. That guy is playing business on a whole different level.

Can someone with a design background please do a proper design critique of the Ferrari Luce? Not a car enthusiast, not a pundit, etc. My feeling is there is more than meets the eye. Or maybe not. If there is one, please point me to it.

@CuriosityonX @drnovac So I can already pick a plot for my kids?

[Michael Schuster @smi]

@drnovac @balderton Anyone reading the fineprint? That’s how you get a 1bn acquisition into every database when the reality likely looked much different

[Michael Schuster @smi]

@badlogicgames @mitsuhiko He is using us as marketing. Ranting about Europe has become clickbait.

Turns out the safest lobster is the one everyone can inspect.

We wrote about the advisory flood, the real fixes, ClawHub, Agents of Chaos, and the companies helping harden OpenClaw in public. 🦞

@denisyurchak Which country in „Western Europe“ are you talking about?

[Michael Schuster @smi]

Anyone else having trouble with the conversion on @Polymarket ? Can't access the page as conversion repeatedly fails and the only advice is "Try again" 🤷‍♂️

[Michael Schuster @smi]

@mitsuhiko I doubt the word is understood like that. I get the historical context but would argue the importance and meaning was created by funding „companies“ (read east India company) and receiving profits. That created the whole Anglo-Saxon idea of equity.

@andreasklinger @meme_ec What are you betting?

[Michael Schuster @smi]

@MichaelAArouet @hkanji Mhm. Interesting conclusion. Would need some more variables, like how much wealth is there to redistribute, level of structural corruption, growth rate, etc. With this chart alone the claim seems at best possible.

@alexandr_wang @grok tell me about screenspot pro and what this benchmark means

[Michael Schuster @smi]

@jefielding @dunkhippo33 It’s an easy no. Most successful businesses have an idea of a moat, but it takes a while to build and it’s easy to loose. Is Ubers network a moat or an onramp for bolt? If OpenAI delivers a worse product, people will switch, expect no loyalty. So why chase moats?

[Michael Schuster @smi]

@Samirkaji Nope. Real venture debt, at least as defined by venture debt providers.

@FritzJergitsch ich finde ja dass man viel in Europa verbessern kann, aber der Vergleich zu Formularen und Berichte in Europa verstärkt USA ist dann doch nicht gänzlich zutreffend. Viele Formulare in Europa wären ohne US Regulierung deutlich kürzer.

@HarryStebbings is right. Everything on this planet started with someone dreaming up a different reality. Go dream up yours!

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

This is for everyone who has a dream that simply seems out of reach.

11 years ago I started 20VC as an 18 year old in a bedroom in London. I didn’t know a single VC and had no money.

I wrote down the names of three legends of the venture world. I have had two on the show previously and today I complete the list that 18 year old boy made.

This was 11 years, 3,000 shows, 3,750 hours, in the making.

Never give up, never doubt yourself, stay focused, row your own race. It will come through.

Welcoming Marc Andreesen to 20VC today.

I guess that’s supposed to be dispatch? I guess the most powerful AI (Claude ftw!) gets translations wrong. @claudeai

As much as I love driving a Tesla, the customer service online is as bad as all car brands. No way to get help for a simple issue. @Tesla
