the precursor to agi bot swarms and agi bots interacting with other humans' agi bots is apparently moltbook.

why enterprise? why not consumer? can you monetize via crypto?

all things covered in the article w direct quotes from Lurie re: homelessness, drugs, building permits. he missed the feces part though, but assume he's working on that too

What does that even mean? 972 is a local Israeli outfit, with contributors from Israel and Palestine. They have sources within the IDF, sources who may be center-left leaning and are "done" with how the far-right coalition is running this war and they are blowing the whistle on this practice.

anti-gambling commercials are a joke. "gambling problem? calls this number"

would much rather hear gambling commercials focus on fact that 97% of people lose money by telling / showing stories of real people who thought they had an edge and kept losing money until they had to get into a rehab program or lost it all.

same goes for modern day options trading, crypto trading, etc.

I was curious to see what companies were part of the S12 batch, and who were the most notable. Among the 80 or so in that group, big winners were Coinbase, Instacart, and Zapier.

do you have anyone on your enterprise BD/sales team? or is it too early for that type of role?

A friend of mine spent ended up spending 9 months in the Google pipeline for a PM role. During the early phases of the cycle (1 month in) he received and accepted an offer at Capital One and joined as a PM. Spent 7 months at Capital One while still interviewing for Google, and then managed to get an offer and team placement.

Surprised it took that long, but he's happy he stuck w the Google process.

I run a microbakery on the side (https://www.instagram.com/stoneleigh.microbakery/) and my local government knows nothing about this operation. That said, I only sell to friends and neighbors bc if somehow my bread gets spoiled (highly unlikely, unless its focaccia and they leave it out for 2 days), I can resolve it directly with them and not have to deal w the health department.

this describes the web3 + discord scene accurately today, but instead of Visual Basic, kids today are using Replit.

yes please do find that paper (or the name of the professor)!

dotcom was a completely different situation. VC money flowed to companies that had no meaningful revenue. FAANG, on the other hand, are printing billions of dollars per month.

sounds like Mumbai or Karachi or any other large city in a developing nation. sheesh.

Im curious to hear what types of companies an L6 / E6 at FB is applying to. Without mentioning company names, what types of opportunities are out there that convince you to leave this type of comp [1]

This is fantastic, and the pricing for "lifetime" is nearly a no brainer.

Here are some additional ideas for ways to generate revenue:

* $100-$200 one time guided setup consulting, where someone spends 30-minutes with me on zoom to get data setup the right way, talk through data analysis process, talk through simulation and projections, etc. * Marketplace to connect me with financial advisors who know your software, align with your approach to financial planning, and can help me with next level optimization.

Nice work!

her twitter audience is primarily that demo so she wants a wider demographic sample size. makes sense to me.

"Roblox is absolutely wild

It has 110MM MAUs + delivers an est 1.25 BILLION hours of entertainment each month

It does this not because it makes a good "game", but because players make games/worlds/experiences for and with one another

This only exhausts when imagination does"

id love to see this for single use containers like the ones they use to ship strawberries, etc.

so you're assuming that nothing will change in the next 5-10 years?

1a - build trust specifically with IIT aspirants who, even if they don't get into IIT, will hold amazon in high regard and consider amazon for employment down the line.

3. get data / insight / early access to top level test takers and build a recruiting funnel before these students start college.

the key to his success is honing his craft via side projects, sharing these ideas often, having a quick and easy tooling to publish ideas, pushing to prod and sharing these ideas. thats the key to success. the MKBHD pickup is just the recognition of the skill honed through this process.

Same. We just end up giving our amazon delivery guy two bottles of hand sanitizer and a face mask.

When Minority Report and 1984 combine. Absolutely chilling.

The leaked reports present a master plan for managing mass internment, including details on how to “prevent escapes.” This proves, in the Chinese government’s very own words, that detainees are held in the camps against their own will.

If you wonder why Hong Kong civilians are risking their lives to resist Beijing, this is the reason.

"Chinese officials are concerned that Uighurs hold extremist and separatist ideas, and they view the camps as a way of eliminating threats to China’s territorial integrity, government, and population." [1]

H1-B is a form of servitude. As a product manager who lead a team of primarily H1-B engineers at a large bank in DC area, the most challenging thing I saw from my H1-B colleagues was how the H1-B visa essentially forces really talented and amazing engineers from venturing off to more interesting opportunities at smaller companies who do not have the money or legal team to support H1-B employees.

My former colleagues are all limited by their employment opportunities and could really only go to a handful of very very large firms that would sponsor their visa's. It limits their employment opportunities and it limits their mobility.
