The largest crypto exchange in the world just experienced the largest robbery in human history—and the person running it is a nomadic autistic man in Dubai posting “Funds are SAFU!”

Joining Big Tech is risky. Just join an elite startup instead.

They pay almost the same, but startups offer a ticket to generational wealth. And don’t tell me most startups fail. You can choose wisely.

i understand why people use partiful but i deeply hate it. only thing it's good at is making people feel like going to your party is going to be a huge pain in the ass and emphasizing how nonessential their attendance is. text your friends and keep an RSVP list in your notes app.

Those in venture, product, media etc. inevitably live in the Nontechnical North

The few engineers here are aesthetes capable of eye contact (spiritually nontechnical)

Tale as old as time: capitalist class in the north, and the oppressed labor class (openai researchers) pushed south
