@davidsenra @eladgil @pmarca David invite @travisk

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

@jacobandreou @grok what channel is this

your favorite founders’ favorite founder

@KrishivThakuria @im_roy_lee @im_roy_lee Just chose the wrong niche. With his ability to go viral, he should’ve gone after a bigger pie, like an e-commerce AI builder or something similar

.@im_roy_lee said Cluely would be the fastest company to hit $100M ARR Cluely launched April 20 (almost 8 months ago), and Lovable hit $100M ARR in 8 months, meaning Cluely has 1 week left to become the fastest 👀

@Eric_P8 @NateAFischer What happened?

@NateAFischer This. I hadn't heard of cline prior to this, but with the way their CEO behaved we'll never use their product now.

$32mm evaporated in less than five months

@pigeonburger @sidi_jeddou_dev @zaidmukaddam Cite one such case

@michaelchikov @sidi_jeddou_dev @zaidmukaddam it’s a civil matter, not criminal. trademark infringement/cybersquatting. many such historical cases like this.

perplexity.fast who did this? 👀

@sidi_jeddou_dev @zaidmukaddam How is that illegal

@zaidmukaddam Be careful, I think at some point they will ask you to take the domain down because this is illegal :)

story behind "why netflix built fast.com" is brilliant. so, netflix had a massive fight with ISPs around 2014-2016. ISPs were slowing down netflix on purpose. they wanted more money from netflix customers got bad streaming. but ISPs just blamed netflix. netflix had to pay comcast, verizon, at&t and time warner for direct connections to their networks. but in 2016, they launched fast dot com, clever part - It's not testing your general internet speed. It's testing your speed to netflix's servers specifically. so when someone complained about buffering, netflix could say "run fast dot com." If it's slow, the ISP is the bottleneck. suddenly millions of people had a tool to prove their ISP was the problem ISPs couldn't hide anymore. netflix positioned themselves as the transparent good guys fighting for customers while ISPs looked like greedy monopolies they solved a pr problem and a customer service problem with one simple website I guess, that's how you win a corporate war

@holy_moses7 Who builds a trading app where you can’t sell 🤣😭🤣😭

Well this is interesting, Kalshis new mobile update has no sell button and you can only buy 🤣🤣🤣

Not what I wanted to know, but I guess it's helpful

@WyattRa63123307 @AlexHormozi By advertising more

@AlexHormozi but how does one afford to advertise more ?

If you are under $1m/year, you have to advertise more. No one knows you exist… which is why you're not making as much as you want. You're not fighting against competition , you're fighting against irrelevance.

think about this for a minute

@dedsec @Polymarket @naval the goat himself

just a reminder these guys believed in @Polymarket before anyone else could

@justabdulraouf @thebadassdev What about @Atlassian ‘s @diabrowser ? 😂

@thebadassdev the browser company is cringe

changed my mind, it’s trash, back to chrome.

The security vulnerability we found in Perplexity’s Comet browser this summer is not an isolated issue. Indirect prompt injections are a systemic problem facing Comet and other AI-powered browsers. Today we’re publishing details on more security vulnerabilities we uncovered.

@AskPerplexity @MartinShkreli your thoughts?

BREAKING: Google's quantum chip computed a 150-year problem in 2 hours—and proved it. Nature confirmed today: Willow achieved verifiable quantum advantage, meaning physics validates its answers. At 13,000× classical speed with 99.9% fidelity across 105 qubits, it's not just calculating faster—it's perceiving molecular structures that were mathematically invisible until this morning.

ChatGPT's product retention curves is a product manager's wet dream. Their 1 month retention has skyrocketed from <60% 2yrs ago to an unprecedented ~90%! Youtube was best-in-class with ~85%. 6mo retention is trending to ~80%. Rapidly rising smile curve. Generational product.

@dwr What are @Polymarket vs @Kalshi odds?

The prediction market slugfest feels like Uber-Lyft in 2017. Unclear which one is Uber and which one is Lyft.

@Polymarket Looks like they are going for the @Stake strategy
