AI is eating UI.

The best way for algorithms to predict your preferences is to decide your preferences — by turning you into a tribalist.

Polarization is demographic segmentation.

[Jack Kubinec @whosknave]

I anonymously polled 42 Solana founders to get their unfiltered opinions on other chains, VCs, startups, the cabal, and more. Responses were spicy!

Check the thread below to see what they said (🧵)

Reminder, Jason is a guy who got rich on early tag along investments and is now disconnected from the reality of the world.

It's easy to make fun of someone complaining about 9-5, but the reality is the economy sucks and you work yourself to the bone with no work-life balance and still can't afford shit.

Gone are the days where 9-5 got you a white picket fence.

Gone are the days where 9-5 meant actually switching off at 5 and not working weekends.

9-5 jobs always kinda sucked, but you could at least stomach it based on what they provided.

They don't do that any more.

So is this girl a bit sensitive and over dramatic? Sure.

But instead of saying "toughen up princess" maybe we should be asking why our economic system is so broken that you'll work to the grindstone, own nothing, live with roommates half your life and never retire.

All while Jason makes fun of you on a podcast.

Guess you're just below his line...

“Make before you manage.”

Even the most time-sensitive items can usually wait 60 minutes, and by make something, I mean anything.

You just need to feel like you’ve pushed a millimeter ahead in some creative direction.

The psychological difference between zero acts of creation and one act of creation, no matter how small, is impossible to overstate. If you’re lucky, sometimes that one idea, one sentence, or one shitty first draft can turn into something bigger. But the point is to be able to say to yourself, even for five minutes, “Hark! I am a creator, not just a janitor of bullshit! Here is proof that I can—and will!—do more than just manage minutiae… ”

We all spend time on the struggle bus. At the very least, this mantra has helped me to find a window seat when it’s my turn.

When in doubt, try it out: make before you manage.

"All in all we went from $0 to $100m to $0 because I followed the advice of the VCs."

When you raise from a VC you need to build a unicorn (aka 1B+ company) and nothing else

Doing 10M ARR? You are a failure, 50M ARR? Nope.. You failed

A lot of amazing startups implode because of this model and this is also exactly the reason why I am never that worried to compete with well-funded companies because I know the chances of them imploding are very high

@levelsio said it very well: You are just another 1/100 bet to a VC

Is all funding bad? no, I think there are interesting opportunities and now that the model is changing (I hope) we will see more "boring" investments made in companies that focus more on sustainable business models

My god, take a hint you grifty fuck.

The last years are going to be really really weird. For everyone, it's just going to happen to me earlier than to most.

Just to be completely unambiguous about this: I too, am young and stupid to some degree, and therefore have deontology. If you think you're so old and wise that you need no deontology at all, you are extremely young and stupid.

Little birdie told me @KyleLDavies and @zhusu completed their raise. Must be the beginnings of a bull market if these muppets get money less than one year after they torched $18 billion on shitcoins. I ain’t mad at ya, but homeboy needs his money back lift tickets be expensive

[@goth @goth600]

I think about this almost every day
