people gonna start talking about Stephen Castle's BBIQ sooner than later right? good player, but being trusted too much as a ball handler and playmaker. even had a JR moment right there

[Tim Chae // 팀채 @tchae]

also @wemby is already the best player in the league and he's 3 years from his ceiling. chills.

[Tim Chae // 팀채 @tchae]

what's the O/U on the number of championships between Spurs and OKC over the next decade? is there another team barring crazy injury luck/timing that can realistically contend? just happy next decade will be run by two of the smallest market teams in the league (24th and 26th).

@MatthewBerman biggest anchor that existing companies have to figure out is the human to human decisions/convos/comms still being the culture of their org. AI frontier cos just starting out today don't have to deal with it.

"The winner of the AI race will not be the company with the smartest model.

It will be the company that is most effective at making the local hero—the teacher, the accountant, the community leader—ten times more powerful.

Because in the end, intelligence travels through systems, but adoption travels through people."

@terronk I don't disagree with anything you said on the 2nd paragraph, but if ABTC's own press release as a publicly listed company is to be believed, their installed hashrate would make it true regarding "2%" of the global hashrate.

don't disagree. but also a "float" issue. not enough rewarded to the ones who do to make it create pressure to others. interesting dynamic I never would have thought about are the working level of some institutional LPs who themselves are graded and incentivized on the quarter by quarter marks

Among many weird things about AI is that the people who are experts at making AI are not the experts at using AI. They built a general purpose machine whose capabilities for any particular task are largely unknown.

Lots of value in figuring this out in your field before others.

We're launching Lightfield today.

It's a CRM designed for founders going zero to one—shaped in the past year by hundreds of founders who took a bet on us and now use it daily, and a waitlist of 20,000 more.

When starting out, it takes countless hours of talking to customers to figure out what works.

From day zero, Lightfield builds and updates itself from your unstructured conversations with customers.

It becomes your customer memory: helping you execute deals, communicate without missing details, and understand patterns across your business.

It's free to try. Would love to hear what you think: https://t.co/NpInLKmsUZ

@rnenrdsmnt fascinating cycles seen via many behaviors of this globally maturing late stage capitalism structure we are all living in

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

People are turning against a system they never actually experienced.
The conditions Thiel describes aren’t the result of capitalism working too well. They’re the result of capitalism being slowly replaced by policy-driven scarcity.

Student debt didn’t rise because markets ran wild.
It rose because government guaranteed the loans.

Housing didn’t become inaccessible because property rights failed.
It became inaccessible because zoning boards, permitting regimes, and “planning authorities” restrict supply by design.

Wages didn’t stagnate because capital exploited labor.
They stagnated because taxes, inflation, and regulation drag wealth creation down while inflating the cost of living.

So the resentment is real. The generational break is real.
But the target is misplaced.

People are losing faith not in capitalism, but in a system that wears capitalism’s language while operating as coordinated political control. Ownership was throttled, not by markets, but by policies that prevent individuals from accumulating and applying capital.

If you remove those restraints, opportunity expands.
If you double down with more control, you get collapse.

The question is not whether people will rewrite the system.
The question is whether they’ll recognize which system failed.
