You’re sitting next to Mark Zuckerberg, what would you ask him?

I sincerely didn't think OpenAI would go bankrupt soon. But with the launch of ChatGPT ads, Sam Altman's announcement of his Neuralink-like Merge Labs, and Musk's Friday filing in his lawsuit against OpenAI, all in the SAME WEEK... I think they might not survive 2026.

Merge Labs, a company co-founded by AI billionaire Sam Altman that is building devices to connect human brains to computers, raised $252 million bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

AI = Actually Interns

Had a few small decisions to make today and caught myself opening AI without thinking about it. Wondering how others are using it day to day. Which models do you actually find helpful?

The most successful people I know all have an almost irrational belief that everything will work out And I just recently learned the word for it: Pronoia. It means the opposite of paranoia. The belief that the world is secretly conspiring in your favor. The funny thing about Pronoia is that it's self-fulfilling. When you believe things will work out, you try harder. You persist longer, and you see opportunities where others see dead ends. What's that quote again? "Pessimists sound smart. Optimists make money." – Nat Friedman We all need a little more pronoia in our lives.

Feeling Optimustic about the future!

@_jackk_13 Long-term viability tends to come from economics

@itskoby Compute is useless if the economics don’t make sense long-term.

Seeing more headlines about AI companies racing for scale, capital, and compute. What’s missing in most of these conversations is the economic layer.

@Xchange116 That resonates

The market dynamics in AI are insane: huge capital and power needs meets rapid consumer adoption meets huge potential economic and social impact meets geographic competition at scale.

I spent some time reading the GPT-5 updates... Better reasoning. Longer context. Stronger tooling. Real progress on capability. But the value flow hasn’t changed much. Users still do most of the work, and the upside sits with the platforms. That tension remains.

How do Americans feel about AI - fascinating data from top Democratic-party pollster David Shor. This and other topics in today's version of the Chartbook Top Links.

Working with banks and telecoms showed me how easily good ideas stall. Because once systems get large, changing course often feels too risky. When everything is already set and aligned, forward motion gradually turns into inertia.

My first subscription business was at 14. Car washing. That’s where I learned: fair value keeps people coming back.
