WTF ⁦@Boeing⁩ you can barely keep airplanes in the air. Maybe you should stay out of outer space. futurism.com/the-byte/boein…

@elonmusk You have no idea what you are talking about. Stay in your lane

The F-35 design was broken at the requirements level, because it was required to be too many things to too many people. This made it an expensive & complex jack of all trades, master of none. Success was never in the set of possible outcomes. And manned fighter jets are obsolete in the age of drones anyway. Will just get pilots killed.

@SwipeWright @elonmusk That’s not how recommendations work at all and not what you see at practice

@elonmusk I've never understood its purpose. People told me it was good for work connections because of the "recommendations" people could give you, but everyone just recommends everyone so they get recommended back, which makes the recommendations meaningless. Everyone knows this,

I instantly lose respect for anyone who posts on LinkedIn. Unbearably cringe.

@ZombiePanther2 Come check out the @Fwd_Party

@nickvaldez @mars_birds for sure

Which project on Cardano is a hidden gem?

JUST IN: 🍏 Apple moving away from yearly product “upgrade” cycle - Bloomberg

I really wanna go to a Hackathon and add value, but I’m not technical. Is there a place for me?

@Bullet_Traders @ChatmanDustin @APompliano NSA

The world is better off not knowing who Satoshi Nakamoto was.

@ChatmanDustin @APompliano Close. Try the NSA

@APompliano Satoshi is the CIA

@OfficialLoganK I just sent you a DM

If you are exceptional at what you do, pls get in touch via DMs : )

PSA: we are looking for the worlds best people to come work on Gemini at Google From eng, to research, to product. Join us and help build AGI!

@Aboundlessworld @fau1in @RadarHits And you can charge with the USB-C now, right?

@fau1in @RadarHits Just upgraded to 16 from 12 pro. Camera is slightly nicer and improved battery life. That’s it

@bhorowitz I really used to respect you. Country before profit Ben. You know better.

I sent an internal email that Axios got a hold of it. Here it is. This is what it is, there is nothing else no matter how it gets characterized: Political Update a16zers, I wanted to give you an update on my political activity. As I mentioned before, Felicia and I have known Vice President Harris for over 10 years and she has been a great friend to both of us during that time. She’s also been a friend to the firm in our early days, helping with several events at my house when we built the original Cultural Leadership Fund network. As a result of our friendship, Felicia and I will be making a significant donation to entities who support the Harris Walz campaign. From a firm perspective, we continue to only take positions consistent with our Little Tech Agenda and how the various candidates that support or don’t support policies to build a strong startup technology industry. Although I have had several conversations with Vice President Harris and her team on their likely tech policies and am encouraged by my belief in her, they have not yet stated what their tech policy will be, so the firm will not be updating its position in that regard. As we stated earlier, the Biden Administration has been exceptionally destructive on tech policy across the industry, but especially as it relates to Crypto/Blockchain and AI. So, while I am very hopeful that the Harris Administration will be much better, they have not yet stated their intentions. Ben

@iruletheworldmo That’s cool bro. We all remember our first time too.

just got laid chat 🥹

@VeryVegeta @joannejang Speaking as a recruiter. Screw HR.

@joannejang I'm sure HR does not like this post

at least i can now tweet about how hot and brilliant she is without getting into hr trouble or sounding like a corporate shill

I used to jump out of airplanes for adrenaline. Now I just build SaaS products.

@BenjaminDEKR seems clear that there’s a lack of confidence in leadership.

Question: why would key people leave an organization right before it was just about to develop AGI?

Do the right thing when no one is looking. Help others as often as you can. Be a good person. Treat everyone with respect. If you are a man, protect women when they need help. It's what I did when I was younger, and it is nice being older and proud of who I was then, and not hounded by the mistakes I made.

Mature men who are 25+, please drop one piece of advice to men 18 to 24. It can be about anything!

@SahilBloom Here is an amazing audio interpretation by @Logic301 featuring @neiltyson youtu.be/kkQbGQWavZM?si…

Andy Weir's short story, The Egg, is one of the most mind-blowing things you will ever read. Do yourself a favor and find 10 minutes to enjoy it.

@KDimitratos No I don't. I haven't thought about getting an agent in years. It's probably a bit easier with AI in terms of generating query letters to pitch your work. Self publishing democratized things but added a ton of noise.

@tecnooptimist k have you? Do you know anyone in the year 2024 that has?

Has anyone ever used a book agent / publisher rather than self publish?
