Was at the Chili’s bar at O’Hare. Guy sitting next to me asks where I’m flying. I tell him I live in the area. Stopped here for a drink. This is, without a doubt, the most gullible person I have ever met.

Creating tweets from first principles

Kalshi ($22b) should acquire Draftkings ($13b)…?

After YC, Airbnb raised $615k at a $3M post-money valuation. We were the highest valuation in our batch.

1. Roll out articles so people can write really long tweets. These will mostly be written by AI 2. Then, use AI to summarize those articles back into tweets

Super stoked for this: we're hosting founders, operators, security leaders for a ≈100 person cyber security mini conference in NY next month We'll have @AnthropicAI head of cyber and NatSec policy for a fireside chat Link below to sign up

@mansourtarek_ @lisascherzer lmfao

@lisascherzer Make sure you don’t fill a bracket then Lisa

i hope my grandchildren won't know what kalshi is

@packyM @PimDeWitte New plane read for tomorrow just dropped

There is a tremendous amount of progress happening in World Models. Multiple labs have raised more than $1B. WMs were the star of GTC. They are a real path to embodied AI. So @PimDeWitte & I wrote a comprehensive 19k word overview of World Models. notboring.co/p/world-models

@jposhaughnessy @signulll @InfiniteL88ps Do it

@signulll Want to come out from behind the curtain and join me on the @InfiniteL88ps podcast and chat about things?

i have zero desire to play anything that’s a “numbers” game. it’s just not my thing. if i don’t have any insight/arbitrage/advantage, i just never feel like playing. it’s like writing a brute force algorithm, just feels pretty fucking icky. i.e. brute forcing seems like an absolute insult to the problem.

such a good tweet

Enron Musk is back!

@ShanuMathew93 He dunks this. Just look at this

Like literally look with your own eyes, this is insanity for the oldest player in the league (and has been so for a while now!)

Posterizing people, leading nba in fast break points, doing stuff like this. We’re not talking about it because people are legit fatigued with their greatness but it will not be lost on me. Never seen someone so old and with this mileage contribute at this level in nearly any sport. They are 3rd in the West and playing great ball as of late too.

I’m hosting dinner parties again. 8-10 people, twice per month in San Francisco. If you are a founder, and especially if you are NOT a founder, and you would like to come for an evening of good food and conversation, send me a DM First dinner is March 27

“It organizes your files” “It prioritizes your emails” “It tells you insights about your calendar” These are not real things. They are not making you more productive. It is making you an idiot Yes, AI is great. But this is fake productivity. This is dumb. You are being dumb

Master of Bots for Slow? I am interested in hiring a 'master of bots' to work on software and bot stack at slow / build internal (and maybe external apps, etc) with me. This isn't a for sure role, but I am for sure interested -- application below...

The saddest thing about all the AI stuff is that it’s rendered the Khan Academy guy’s life’s work totally obsolete

Massive W for creative/product/design/GTM folks who can turn ideas where software was the bottleneck into reality extraordinarily quickly now.

One of the funnier things about the AGI/pilled folks is that people are extrapolating what happened with coding automation to the rest of the world, but I don’t think that extrapolation holds up. Coding is, at its core, the generation of texts and numbers to tell a computer to do things. There is, obviously, a lot more to it then that. Like understanding how systems connect / should flow together matters as you can better think through what the complete code “should” look like. But to build that system, the primitives are letters and numbers. LLMs are trained on a gazillion examples of letters and numbers. Much of that is code (thank you Stack Overflow). They just take text inputs and make text outputs. Now, there are derivatives to this. Like LLMs can now call tools, and the outputs of those tools can be used as inputs to trigger other things, but they’re just writing letters and numbers which a harness then knows to “trigger” to do a thing. Which means the things that can be fully automated are things where the input and output are purely numbers and letters. So, writing (marketing copy, emails, books?!, code, Excel functions, etc.) But most other domains just have more nuance or friction or edge cases that, even if a lot of the flows can be automated, have something that they system can’t “get” or “do” that throws off the whole loop. And basically any job that isn’t purely “read/write text” has a lot of those friction points. So SWEs kind of built a thing that replaced their jobs, but I just don’t see that pattern matching to too many other fields.

Having a blast telling me bot, Clank, to spin up memes left and right all morning

OpenClaw Memelord skill is officially live. You can now use Memelord's trending memes and video templates to: - Generate AI memes and videos (that are both funny and hyper-trending) - Edit captions for *both* memes and videos just by replying What can you do with this? The use cases for the OpenClaw Memelord skill are infinite: - Set a cron job cook up on-brand memes for your marketing team - Toss it in a n8n workflow for TikTok slideshows - Put your claw in a group chat with your community - Sync it with @polymarket's API to make new memes for new markets - Plug into NCAA data to make memes for March Madness - Link up with @Quartr_App API to make new memes for quarterly reports - Connect to GitHub or @Linear to market your new features A lot of people asked me "Why'd you raise $3M for a meme editor?" This is why. The future of memeing is agentic. We achieved Memetic General Intelligence internally earlier this year making hilarious AI memes. Now we can share it with the world. It's time to take your memes more seriously.
