Could make the case that UTA got more for Kessler than BOS got for Brown…

You have absolutely disgraced yourself publishing this, globe.

We all clearly don’t hate the media enough.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

Rory either:

or

kinda sick outcome either way

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI!

The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday.

This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show.

Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward.

@bykevinclark 62 games is the right number. Revenue per game will go UP as game supply goes down.

What would make things even better is if the NBA only played two games a week. Two weekday game days and two weekend games. Make it appointment viewing in the way that the NLF does on Sundays.
