Since 2022, a set of “AI foundation” industries—semiconductors, cloud services, and AI software—has added $500 billion in revenues and $11 trillion in market cap.

Hyperscalers have ignited an AI data-center capital expenditure boom, boosting demand for chips. And in just 3 years, the top five players have reshuffled significantly.

What do you know abt #Web4 ?

#ClawdBot called its owner at 6am to ask for more permissions.

W/ @ShaneTews I wrote about the accountability vacuum forming around autonomous AI agents. It's more urgent than the discourse suggests.

[Neyazuddin Ansari @riyazz_ai]

🚨 Sam Altman literally gave a 43-minute masterclass on turning ideas into billion-dollar companies.

Most people will never watch it.

And instead of hype, he broke down what actually makes startups work.

No fluff. Just reality.

He explained that ideas don’t matter nearly as much as execution. The difference between something small and something massive isn’t the idea it’s how relentlessly it’s built and improved over time.

He also emphasized that the best founders don’t chase everything. They focus on one thing that truly matters and push it forward with extreme clarity. Distraction kills more startups than competition ever will.

And then there’s scale. Truly big companies aren’t built for a niche they solve problems that millions of people care about. If the market isn’t large enough, the outcome won’t be either.

His biggest insight? Startups don’t win because they’re smarter they win because they stay in the game longer and iterate faster.

That’s why this masterclass stands out.

Because while most people are waiting for the perfect idea…

The best ones are already building.

@MagicCityApes Thank youuu so proud

[Nicoletta (Nik) @tallrussian]

took a break from crypto twitter for a couple of years ... came back a lawyer. what'd I miss?

[GordonGoner (Wylie Aronow) 🍌 @GordonGoner]

Honestly the most important thing. Until we solve creator royalties, I don't see space exploding again outside of fine art and (partially) centralized gaming ecosystems. Every solution out there has some compromises, however.

@ReneGuerreroNFT @yugalabs @BoredApeYC Welcome!

[Nicoletta (Nik) @tallrussian]

this is so cute, we love when the founders and designers listen!

[Captain Zwingli 🍌🎙️ @ChrisJourdan]

My 16 year old daughter has not been a fan of most my web3 gear

Specifically asked for me to stop wearing the Ape skulls to her games

“wish you got that in a small” 👀

Well done team 👏

[Chainlink @chainlink]

Imagine if every @Tesla was tokenized as a dNFT with real-time metadata updates showing its service record, mileage, accident history, market value, and more.

All current and future owners would have onchain access to verifiable vehicle histories.

[Xeer @Xeer]

Seeing a whole bunch of “hot takes” about how @BoredApeYC could’ve done #ApefestHK better..

I refer you to now legendary quote by @GordonGoner: “I don’t know Tropo, why don’t you start an NFT company and get everything right.”

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

An interview with @craigss on Eye on AI where I talk about world models, JEPA, the future of AI, and the necessity of open source AI platforms.
