Crypto is the future. Here’s how we’re going to accelerate: 1. Offer more selection of crypto assets for our customers 2. Continue to invest in the Robinhood Wallet 3. Bring the “Robinhood Effect” to the institutional crypto market through the integration of Bitstamp 4. Explore the tokenization of real-world assets on crypto rails

@alexandraandnyc Can't wait for the Tesla #Robotaxi, Uber quotes me $90 for a mere 10-mile ride to San Jose SJC airport on a Monday morning typically that would cost ~$25.

GenAI poses a much deeper pickle for Google than I initially assumed... The last few weeks completely echo the time I was at Google in the early 2000's when we were up against Microsoft - except this time Google is on the receiving end. Looking back, we beat Microsoft not because we had better tech, but because we forced them to play on our terms AND at our "clockspeed." Many (myself included) were viewing Google's LLM problem as one of catching up with the technology - specifically OpenAI. It stands to reason that with all its incredible talent, infrastructure, users and data, Google can and will catch up to OpenAI and likely be able to build better technology. But I'm realizing that's likely to be wrong. The debacle last week (and even more, Google's response) puts a point on the real and somewhat unsolvable problem Google faces now. Google isn't going to lose to OpenAI tomorrow - it lost to it over the last ten years. The problem that Google faces today relative to the likes of OpenAI and Perplexity is very similar to what we did to Microsoft 20 years ago. What ChatGPT in particular has made us realize is that many of the tasks that we have so far labeled "search" and where we click on blue links are really tasks of research, analysis and decision-making. We viewed Google as the way to complete these tasks because 20 years ago, Google solved the most important challenge in that workflow, which was to bring all the world's information to within one click in the form of a search engine. Over these 20 years, Google built and has been harvesting one of the most profitable business models in history (remember that we used to talk with similar admiration of the operating system + desktop productivity biz model). The problem now, is that ChatGPT, Perplexity and others have shown us that A LOT of the tasks we used to think of as search engine-based workflows are even better served through an exchange with this new piece of technological magic (similarly to how PageRank made Google Search feel magical 25 years ago). The real problem for Google is one of clockspeed. Google all of a sudden has its ass on fire and is trying to innovate into the future. But, that innovation now has to happen at the heart of its business. OpenAI doesn't care about messing up an ads business model - they can just iterate with a product/quality purity that is impossible for Google to get. Google isn't going to lose to OpenAI in the coming few years. It has lost over the past decade, when it could have evolved/iterated AI into its model at its success-encumbered clockspeed. Now that the game is on, but on a startup clockspeed, there is no chance for Google to catch up and even less win this next cycle. This problem compounds over time, because every single day that goes by, we are all feeding OpenAI our usage patterns, feedback, custom GPTs, integrations, etc... At this stage, there is no way for Google to shift its clockspeed unless it is willing to give the middle finger to the market and its customers for a while and say sorry, the future beckons - feel free to opt out and invest your money elsewhere. The sad part is that Google actually has the wherewithal to do that, but few incumbents are ever able to pull it off. Meta/Zuck have done this several times (mobile transition, VR bet and now AI), so we know it's possible, but it is exceedingly unlikely for that to happen. People often think that's only possible because Mark is the founder, but I think it's because of his posture between risk and opportunity. I'll close this with the phrase that I think captures this posture: Our missed opportunities will cost us more than our mistakes

California Sheriff Is Not Afraid To Speak The Truth “We are here today because California public safety is in crisis. Crime is steadily on the rise and our public safety policy is one of the worst, if not the worst in the nation. I wanna make this clear and I want there to be no mistake in what I am saying. This is not by accident.” “The driving force in our crisis is a radical progressive agenda fraudulently called criminal justice reform. This is nothing short of a sick and twisted social experiment where law enforcement is the bad guy and criminals are somehow victims of society and not responsible for their actions, their crimes, or accountable to their countless victims.” “Thousands upon thousands of criminals are being released from custody early, crime is increasing and our governor is closing prisons instead of building new ones. It defies common sense. — We are now at our breaking point and Californians have had enough.” I can’t transcribe this all due to X’s text limits but this is an excellent listen.

🤝 It was an incredible honor to have met The King and @RoyalFamily during my visit to Buckingham Palace. I feel an immense sense of gratitude for bringing our business to the UK and being able to push forward the message of democratizing finance for all. Stay tuned for what’s in store for @Robinhood_UK in 2024!

@utekkare Sorry to hear, Pranay, but glad to know that you and family are ok. I had my Tesla model 3 totaled just 4 weeks ago, somebody ran a red light and t-boned us. Insurance paid us the $$ needed to be able to buy a similar model year mileage used car. Not top $$, but ok.
