doesn’t get more Silicon Valley than this

[Catarina Chia @catarina_chia]

a key indicator of success is not just the constant hunger or desire to overachieve, but also turning ambition into action

every person I’ve met with outstanding achievements is hungry to learn more, try new things, fail contrarian projects, and start over the next day

Ashton Kutcher made $1.2B more from his OpenAI bet than 25 years of acting

He co-founded a firm with Guy Oseary in 2015 called Sound Ventures

Sound Ventures' history:

• Invested when OpenAI was worth $20-29B
• Now worth $850B+
• 43x return in under 3 years
• Also early in Anthropic, Brex, and Gusto

He made $90M acting over 25 years, yet one fund's bet outperformed decades of work

Still, he recently left Sound Ventures to start Decimal Capital with Morgan Beller. Their focus is early-stage semiconductors, nuclear, robotics, biotech, and energy companies

The San Francisco dating scene in the 1990s.

Before all the apps, people met at places like this. In 1994, Marcia Kimpton, KTVU’s San Francisco culture reporter, stopped by Noah’s to get a handle on what was going on in the Marina on the weekends.

You probably don’t know most of the people in this video. But you also know everyone in this video.

The Strait of Hormuz is open to all vessels seeking to lawfully transit the international waterway. U.S. forces are positioned and prepared to ensure that freedom of navigation remains available despite unwarranted Iranian aggression, harassment, threats, and arbitrary declarations. Iran does not control the strait. Traffic is flowing.

街头采访香港独居美女，50平月租竟要两万八，空间局促得施展不开，房价实在离谱。虽说小姐姐漂亮优秀又独立，但这般狭小高昂的居住成本，看着都替她觉得压抑。你觉得这房租值不值？

一个23岁的中国留学生，在洛杉矶的毕业典礼上，走到了舞台中央。他高高举起自己的笔记本电脑，屏幕上开着ChatGPT的页面。面对全场，他情绪激动地喊着什么。

体育场的大屏幕上，清清楚楚地展示着他和ChatGPT的完整聊天记录——那些帮他通过一次次考试的提示词，帮他生成的每一篇论文，还有期末考试里靠AI拿到的答案。

整个场子瞬间炸了。他还没走下台，这段视频就被人发到了TikTok上，标题写的是“UCLA毕业生 x ChatGPT”。24小时内，播放量冲到1400万。Reddit上被顶到首页，家长们纷纷转发，说“看吧，这就是现在的大学”。学生们也在转发，心想原来不止我一个人这么干。

两小时后，学校撤销了他的学位。

这故事听起来像编的一样：一个自以为了不起的年轻人，用了四年ChatGPT，最后用一场高调的“坦白”把自己给揭发了。所有新闻媒体都用着差不多的标题，播客轮番放这段视频，全网吵了两天，话题围着AI和考试转个不停。

当西方高校还在纠结ChatGPT会不会毁掉论文写作的时候，同校的中国留学生们其实早就司空见惯了。他们在深圳的表弟们会直接给他们发脚本。教授们真正该担心的不是ChatGPT，而是学生们屏幕上同时开着的另一个标签页。

然后就有人发帖了：把视频暂停在8秒的位置。ChatGPT那个标签页确实是真的，但你看它旁边那个页面。

那不是什么学习页面。那是个实时钱包。

账户名：gabagool22。盈利：868,862美元。预测次数：28,620次。2025年10月加入。页面浏览量：729.7万。

他对着镜头大谈自己如何用ChatGPT在经济考试里作弊，但旁边那个标签页上的钱包，四个月净赚了86.8万美元。28620笔交易，全是比特币，交易窗口都只有15分钟。而且，笔笔盈利。

单笔最高奖金出现在一个周二早上，仅仅15分钟的投注窗口里，赚了4696美元。

评论区一下子变成了侦探现场。有人把视频放慢到0.25倍速，一帧一帧截下他笔记本电脑上的所有画面，又根据大屏幕上那8秒的视频，把钱包页面几乎完整还原了出来。

这个平台的参赛费很低，2到10美分一次，奖金却能到几千美元。28620次参与，没有一次是红线亏损。

ChatGPT那个页面根本不是为了作弊，它就是个幌子。

六个月前，深圳有个中国开发者录了一段Claude Code的教程，无意间拍到了自己第二个显示器。钱包名字一样，设置也一模一样。那段视频在他删除之前，已经有了40万播放。

洛杉矶那个年轻人，不过是众多模仿者中的一个分叉。

学校对他在台上“坦白用ChatGPT”这件事反应极大。当天下午就发了声明，撤销学位，还群发邮件给所有学生重申作弊后果。这事儿在热搜上挂了两天，沸沸扬扬。

可整个学校里，没人注意到那个多出来的标签页。

那个基于Claude的“经纪人”，7×24小时不停运转，专门跑比特币15分钟的短线窗口。2美分进去，10美分出来，一笔交易15分钟搞定。它从不睡觉。就在他走上领奖台的那个早晨，它又帮他赚了一笔4696美元。

他一年的学费是4.4万美元，交了整整四年。现在学位没了，但钱包还在。

说到底，他根本就没被抓到。只不过是用一种最便宜的方式，交了一笔人生里最划算的“学费罚款”。

他那天高高举起的屏幕，亮错了页面。但全场，都在为他欢呼。

Foreign buyers are falling in love with homes once considered too old or too remote by Japan’s domestic market. But is the deal too good to be true?

A 21-YEAR-OLD IN FLORIDA POSTED A 60 SECOND VIDEO SHOWING HOW SHE MAKES $40,000 A MONTH. SHE HAS NEVER SHIPPED A PRODUCT. SHE HAS NEVER WRITTEN AN AD.

She opens her laptop and shows a pink jawline mask on TikTok Shop. It has 57,000 sales.

She doesn't try to source it. She doesn't try to build a brand around it. She just copies the URL.

She pastes the link into an AI tool called PagePilot.

In 60 seconds, the AI builds a full Shopify store. It writes the product descriptions. It generates the customer reviews. It creates the FAQ section.

Then it writes the Facebook ads and generates the creative assets.

She clicks publish. She downloads the ads. She runs them on Meta.

That is the entire business.

She doesn't invent products. She doesn't hire copywriters. She doesn't hire web designers.

She finds what is already selling, lets an AI clone the entire business structure in one minute, and points Facebook traffic at it.

She cleared $40,000 in profit last month without leaving her bedroom.

The internet is full of people spending thousands of hours trying to learn web design, copywriting, and marketing strategy.

She bypassed all of it. She eliminated the human bottleneck.

She isn't building a legacy brand. She is just acting as a highly efficient bridge between a Chinese factory and a Facebook ad algorithm.

Thousands of people are trying to learn how to dropship the hard way.

She realized the hard way doesn't exist anymore. She just clicks copy and paste.

I host a ton of events.

This video was so fun to make, capturing how my team and I leverage AI when curating an incredibly high volume of intimate, tasteful, and high-quality events using some of our favorite tools like @OpenAIDevs Codex, Eve by @vercel and more.

But we are also excited to learn. Let me know if you have any suggestions or favorite tools and workflows :)

And if you're heading to ICML, definitely say hi to the @Cerebras team.

Imagine a 7-Eleven that only sells Japanese and other Asian products -- but it also has a beauty section, sushi bar, ramen station and a bar for alcoholic beverages.
