@hthieblot @dunkhippo33 Or work to sell the assets - nice feeling to complete what you started, so to speak, even if it doesn’t lead to any financial outcome.

Unpopular opinion: It is absolutely okay for a founder to give up. If you're 3+ years in, 8+ pivots deep, barely paid yourself, uninspired, and your spirit is broken, you've run out of emotional runway. Reset your energy, not your ambition. Then come back and swing again.

@GuyTalksFinance @PrintedRiffs @GrantCardone Most countries don’t charge high property taxes to fund local schools, etc. it also means rich suburbs get richer and poor suburbs get poorer. It’s not the only way.

@PrintedRiffs @GrantCardone Ahh I see, so do you think we should just go back to how life was 100 years ago? Please confiscate your iPhone if the old days were so good.

🚨 DONALD TRUMP DEMANDS ‘NO MORE PROPERTY TAXES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES!’ You can’t hate this! President Trump launches national revolution to abolish property taxes which would result in the most powerful economic expansion in U.S. history.

@FluentInFinance Eventually they’ll just drop a 0….

If the next 30 years stay the same as the last, here’s how much life will cost: - Average Rent: $6,500/ month - Average Home: $1,600,000 - Average Car: $218,200 - Coffee: $28/ cup - Gas: $16/ gallon

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

@HeadIntrovert @NASA Night and day! Actually this one was taken at night on long exposure

@NASA 1972 had a much better camera

1972 ➡️2026 Apollo 17 ➡️ Artemis II

@ivanburazin A) ever had to chase down everyone for a signature? B) Not everything always goes to plan, & you can’t vet all shareholders equally. It increases the chances you have dissenting voices on your cap table. That, or, you can’t make everyone happy… C) you’re eff running a public co

@StoneAdam Why?

Most founders set their angel round minimum at $5k, $10k, or even $25k to reduce cap table bloat. We set ours at $1,000. Seemed crazy to everyone at first. But it made a lot of sense. 1/ Made it easy for younger operators, early-stage founders, and people who believed in us but couldn't write huge checks to participate 2/ With a lower barrier, commitments came in faster. Seeing 5 new investors commit in a week builds psychological momentum 3/ 100 angels advocating for you >> 10 angels. More voices in more rooms. More intros to customers, hires, and future investors 4/ When investors on the fence saw dozens of names on the list, FOMO naturally kicked in

@steipete @bsniz 💯 🙏

@bsniz not quite yet, but that should be married.

New Claw beta bits are up! Lots of reliablility+security improvements in there + a new task system for more reliable subagents/crons/etc github.com/openclaw/openc…

@steipete @kaka_ruto @Jamie_claw_cat Is that why lobster workflows aren’t needed anymore?

@kaka_ruto @Jamie_claw_cat codex is so much better at being efficient with context window that this is rarely needed anymore. This was an old claude workaround.

@based16z @StockSavvyShay @fiscal_ai So you’d prefer NVIDIA to do some stock splits so the $ amount looks the same?

@StockSavvyShay @fiscal_ai I would argue it’s not the cheapest it’s been in a decade given it’s 100x more expensive than 1 decade ago

$NVDA is now the cheapest it has been in a decade. And this is still the core compute engine of the new AI economy powering the largest infrastructure buildout in history.

@teslayoda @elonmusk I think it’s a loading wheel

@elonmusk What’s the spinning thing blocking the leg room of the rider?

Try Tesla self-driving!

@justinskycak I wonder if it’s correlated with obesity obesity

Intellectual obesity is what happens when you consume too much and produce too little.

@michakaufman 😎😎

First race tomorrow 🤞🏻

@openclaw has someone eaten you? No daily updates in 5 days 😲 I was just beginning to be your friend!

@Roger_Riera @cheers1964 @vad3rt3sla Price …

@cheers1964 @vad3rt3sla I was about to ask the same. What's the difference between this and a normal taxi besides not having a driver? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hands down the coolest experience. I refuse to order an Uber. Once everyone experiences this, it’s like the iPhone wave, everyone will switch and use it.

@StockSavvyShay The robots can jump into cars, tractors, elevators, trains & planes Without needing a super smooth surface to drive on themselves

$UBER founder Travis Kalanick says wheeled robots will likely outperform humanoids like $TSLA Optimus for industrial tasks such as transport and mining. He argues specialized robots designed for specific functions are far more efficient for large-scale operations.

.@travisk says AI will make human labor even more valuable and in-demand than ever before: "Let's say the entire world - everything in our world - was automated, except for plumbers. You had machines making buildings - you would basically have like a thousand buildings a day." "How valuable would those plumbers be?" "Each and every plumber would be like LeBron. Why? Because plumbing would be the long pole in the tent to progress. You can't get those thousand buildings unless you have a plumber." "And by the way, you'd get so much efficiency everywhere else that you'd need millions of plumbers." "Humans [are going to] become more and more valuable because they will be the long pole in the tent to progress - and that progress is going to accelerate and get faster and more robust."

@alexrkonrad @ycombinator @flexport How do you fit all new products / agents into your product without diluting the offering? Or is this not a concern?

Last week, @Flexport released an AI agent that can audit bills from shippers and truckers against the actual logs to ensure its customers are invoiced correctly. The product was just an idea 3 days before. "We probably pivoted 30% to 40% of our engineers now just to building agents," founder Ryan Petersen (@typesfast) says. "There's way less planning than there used to be at Flexport in the roadmap. It used to be a one year strategic plan. Now you're like, ‘Alright, let's go see if you can make this work, come back to me two days later.' And it works, because of AI.” Catch the full interview on The Upstarts Podcast: YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=1JamC0… Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fle… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1S1sx3…

@thomasmustier @RayFernando1337 AI legalese 😂

@RayFernando1337 oh my god who wrote this

Anthropic just dropped a massive update to the skill-creator skill for Claude Code / OpenClaw. One prompt to install it: "Anthropic updated their skill creator skill and I'd like for you to update/put this in so when we ask about creating new skills we can use this skill creator skill github.com/anthropics/ski…"

@nyk_builderz Any plans to integrate with openclaw lobster flows?

We just open-sourced Mission Control — our dashboard for AI agent orchestration. 26 panels. Real-time WebSocket + SSE. SQLite — no external services needed. Kanban board, cost tracking, role-based access, quality gates, and multi-gateway support. One pnpm start, and you're running. github.com/builderz-labs/…
