Imagine 10 private villa owners inside a five-star beachfront resort on a small Atlantic island.
Each villa has its own private pool, but you also get access to the resort's pools, concierge, gym and restaurants.
You own it outright, but you're also part of something.
Could you build a real community around that setup or do people at that level just want to be left alone?
Exploring something at the moment and curious what people think.

@DeepSailCapital Ah man. Yeah, it’s so hard to let winners ride …

@robertfreth I wish I held on the whole time. I sold in the $30s I think.

One of the most epic stretches of living in the history of the world
Sure, it takes making 1MM/year to live adequate, just enough to get a starter home (which starts at 2mm for anything non-tear-down), and pay the bills, afford a closet full of vuori, drive a Tesla, surf 10am-1pm on a weekday, and drink $7 cups of micro roasted coffee with chai tallow, take a few yoga classes per week, get a club membership, …
but 10/10 public schools, year round 72 degrees with a light breeze, organic grocery stores, no smog, no insects, no swamp ass, no crime, no homeless-tent cities, no parking meters, the best Mexican food north of Mexico City, the most slightly above average looking but fittest people you’ve ever seen and 10000x less pretentious than Newport and LA folk
World class and open to the public;
•Beaches
•Hiking
•Golf
•Museums
•Parks
•Zoos
And a tax racket that means homes worth 5mm that were bought 25 years ago for 500k, only pay 5k/yr property tax and locked for life (sans capped increase)
And this doesn’t even include that little hamlet to the right on the map called Rancho Santa Fe which is a tweetstorm all unto itself

IT FUCKING HAPPENED. Seedance 2.0 now works with the @openclaw agent inside @chatcutapp. This UGC video was generated entirely with Seedance 2.0 after I sent an Amazon link. The agent crawled the page, extracted product info and photos, then fed the right assets into Seedance 2.0 to generate the UGC product video. My brain is literally melting at this point...

@gregisenberg If there was only an AI natively connected to the platform to solve for this

.@gokulr is one of the most prolific product builders and investors of the last 20 years.
He helped build the core ads and product businesses at Google, Facebook, Square, and DoorDash, working directly with many of this generation's best founders and CEOs. He's also invested in more than 700 companies giving him an unusually broad view into how products are built and scaled.
Gokul has an incredible ability to give precise and prescriptive advice on how to build products, particularly in AI, and he explains his thinking so clearly that you come away knowing exactly how to apply it.
We talk about why judgment is the only thing he believes is truly AI-proof, why Zendesk and Slack are more exposed than Salesforce and NetSuite, and what AI-native startups must do to move customers and their data off legacy systems.
We cover everything he's learned from building the most important ads businesses, including the only three ways an ad business can make money, and why ChatGPT may be even more powerful than Google or Facebook for highly targeted ads.
He also shares inside stories from Larry and Sergey, Zuck, Jack Dorsey, and Tony Xu, about how each of them approaches product, design, and communication.
Enjoy!

$WM is an excellent company, but $SES.TO is the better pick for way more alpha.
