The whole making a technology that cure all diseases is cool and all.
But being the man behind Themepark is seriously impressive.
At least to me and my sisters.

1/ sequel Request for Startups /// Thesis Drop #001 - Prompting is for Losers
If you’re building something prompt-less and proactive for consumer AI - message me.
The best products will not wait to be opened or asked…
Building something new is… a ride. One day you’re testing a fresh GTM, second-guessing every assumption, wondering if you’re the only person who thinks this thing should exist.
The next day you’re on the phone with someone squarely in your ICP — here, a PE leader — and they say this:
“I love it. Congrats on what you’re doing. There is hands down a market need. We’re exactly the right target for you at [ABC]. What you’re building is very attractive to us, and I have some thoughts on next steps.”
Those moments don’t make the hard parts disappear… but they do make you double down.

new from me on @every:
opus 4.5 blew me away this week. i built fully featured reading companion app that i now use every day, in between meetings without looking at the code.
two things that are important:
- we just reached a new level of autonomous coding. you've been able to one-shot an impressive app demo for a while now with any frontier model. opus 4.5 is the first model that just keeps coding and coding without running into endless loops of errors.
- prompt-native apps are now possible. opus 4.5 can now act as a general-purpose agent INSIDE your app, to power many of your features. this turns building features into an exercise in writing prompts—instead of writing code. it's the same paradigm claude code uses but now available for non-coding usecases.

Awful advice.
The best entrepreneurs end-up owning the biggest markets.
They START in a niche.
This is how you build a monopoly with minuscule resources: niche down, dominate and then expand to adjacent markets.
Thielism 101.
Introducing Whisper Thunder aka Gen-4.5.
Today, we are excited to share our new frontier model. Gen-4.5 was built by a team that fits onto two school buses and decided to take on the largest companies in the world.
We are David and we’ve brought one hell of a slingshot.
@wolfejosh There was more black people living in South Africa.
I’m pretty pro Israel (hence my disappointment at post Oct 7 behaviour) but reductivism doesn’t help anyone.
This is great to see. Scaling AI Growth Zones nationwide was one of the core pillars of the AI Opportunities Action Plan - my successor Jade and her team have done amazing work pushing this to such a positive outcome!
