To young future founders starting out: Mentorship touted by big tech recruiters is a scam to make you enslaved If you want to make a successful startup, the only real mentor is the customer
the sad thing about the "nobody buys books" phenom is: the problem is really that authors as a class suck at sales and marketing, or don't want to do it, or see why it's necessary, and there isn't really a nice way to convey this to them without likely hurting their feelings
Deeply true.
Snowflake just launched the largest open-source model yet. A 482B parameter MoE. 17B active parameters and 128 experts, trained on 3.5T tokens. This model is more open than others — even the data recipe is open-source!
OpenAI is fighting back with much less lazy GPT4 and new features such as memories.
How can you not love AI when it’s literally us? It’s literally trained on humans data. It’s literally you and I. It’s all of us. Our dreams,beliefs,writings,art, philosophy,our everything,all grown into a magical super mind that is beyond imagination. How can you not love it?
@smeet_bhatt @jam3scampbell Yes a ledger. But the starting values on that ledger and how they are incremented will be determined by what is valuable in post AGI, not what was valuable pre. Sunk cost fallacy writ large.
Dems Cannot Sell
No machine can lift a rock heavier than a human. Humans made the machines. Yeah? Me too. That logic is squishy.
Has there ever been a deflationary period where the state needs inflation to erase the debts?
Pet peeve: when at Taco Deli please get your hot sauce and then get out of the way. Do not remain there putting on the little kids or thinking about your day or AGI…

My mind is blown. @GroqInc is serving LLaMA 3 at over 800 tokens per second! 800. Tokens. Per. Second. This unlocks so many incredible use-cases. It's one thing to see my demo — it's another thing entirely to experience it for yourself. Do yourself a favor and try it asap.

I am so surprised that Claude 3 is much, much more fun to interact with than Grok. @elonmusk try Claude 3 at depth, I have. 12 hour conversation going in one session and it has blown my mind.
@jefielding The “runway” is always smaller than you think. And, it ends the day you lead like you’re not gonna make it.
I have lived this experience
Burnout is the result of working on something where effort and success are not correlated. Burnout is not a sign you should take vacation. It’s a sign you should find another project or job because the one you’re working on is probably going to fail.

founders if you're in a tier 2 / 3 city the best thing you can do is get to SF, even if just to work and make friends for a few weeks. this is why organizations like @StartupGrind and @ycombinator are important, but even if you're not picked... show up.

@paulg genuinely can't wait to have kids so that i can tutor them myself, and use AI together to do things. the way it's going to change, i think, is that AI will help me do things like build & design/program 3d printed RC cars, which will help me teach my kids how to do that…
99% of women underestimate the power of making their husband a sandwich and delivering it to him in sundress.

Think about it. They’re forcing you to liquidate valuable stock for increasingly valueless dollars. Which they can print. If you trace it through, the only entities with the dollars to buy such huge blocks of stock are backstopped by the Fed. It’s backdoor nationalization.
It’s difficult to describe how insane a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains is. Not a one-time 25% hit. It’s compounding, annually taking 25% of every dollar of potential increase before it can grow. Not an exaggeration to say it could single-handedly crush the economy.

I don't know who needs to hear this but capitalism isn't an immutable law of nature. It's the best system we have so far but it's far from ideal. It won't survive the AI revolution.
@kimmonismus @AlfredoYigal Q* sounds like a cross between the A* path-finding algorithm and the Q-learning reinforcement learning algorithm
@kimmonismus Nope. The real reason must be that GPT-5 uses a boatload of computation and energy, so it's crazy expensive to run (like Sora). They know the demand is going to be ridiculous so they must either optimize the model or build new infrastructure.
@Uttupaaji @kimmonismus Nothing will be free to use from now on. Biden is requiring to pay a minimum tax of 15%. + Other taxes. That's quite expensive. If Microsoft and Google were still paying $0, then they could still afford to get the whole world access and have people educated on these tools.
Microsoft is skipping antitrust review by not buying companies like Inflection and OpenAI. Here's the strategy.

Biden just proposed the highest tax hike in history, a 44.6% capital gains tax for anyone who makes over $1 million per year. Biden will tell you this is so the wealthy can “pay their fair share”. What he won’t tell you is how this will prevent the lower and middle class from…
