Only somebody with a great sense of humor can be really socially responsible… only when you are fully honoring the plane at which it is all totally perfect just the way it is can you assume on the other plane the responsibility to change it

I don't think I'll ever trust Chinese hardware when their products can contain spyware chips that cannot be defended against. These are smaller than the lead of a pencil, and about the size of a small SMD capacitor or resistor on a board. A lot of sensitive hardware is on the U.S. Entity List and the export bans list. Even though it hasn't been definitively proven to be the case that this hacking chip is real, there have been documented cases of Chinese-made IoT devices "calling home" and sending packets of data to an unknown remote server in China. Although they say that it's all in the firmware/software level, I just don't trust it when a known vector exists beyond root-level hardware hijacking, dual-use chip microphones, and various other things. The part that drives my skepticism up the most is that China’s National Intelligence Law obligates companies to assist state intelligence when asked... and they have NO option to opt-out.

China is now shipping it's own GPUs. This is the Lisuan LX 7G1000. But everyone is missing the point. - You can get 88fps in Cyberpunk 2077. - It has no dedicated ray-tracing hardware. - On rasterization it performs better than a 3060 in synthetic benchmarks. - Real work game perf put it lower than a 5060 which beats it by about 30% and costs $300 instead of $485. The issues isn't that China shipped a so-so card at a high price point, it's that they shipped one at all. The previous barriers to their design, software and hardware capabilities are dropping fast. We might see competitive GPUs out of China sooner than we think.

One thing I've learned from using AIs is that the median person is unable to read paragraphs of ordinary prose. Now I understand why so many recently published books consist of snippets of text — what would be called sidebars, if the book weren't composed of them.

@chamath You don’t even use Claude Code why do you give opinions on it? I like you but like download Claude code and use it for yourself before speaking convictively about stuff you don’t know? Using an AI chatbot isn’t the same…

Microsoft pulling Claude is the first, but not the last. The issue isn't that the tool isn't useful. The issue is that without context and oversight, the tool can spin forever and generates an enormous cost burden that, when cascaded across an entire employee population, makes using the tool economically untenable. 8090's Software Factory is the control plane that is becoming increasingly used by Enterprises to get the job done but do it in a smart and scaleable way.

Most engineering leaders are past the honeymoon with AI coding IDEs. They see how many tokens their agents burn. The reason is rework. The agent gets a vague prompt and a "make no mistakes" instruction, guesses at an architecture that isn't the one you run, and ships the wrong thing. Then engineers spend round after round correcting it. Rework is what the token bill actually measures. An agent builds correct code when it knows two things: what to build, and what to build it against. Software Factory's modules captures the full business intent and engineering architecture for all operators to reference in a unified multi-player environment, so everyone shares the same context. Then, we pass off the coding tasks to your IDE agent of choice execute against them (Claude, Cursor, Copilot - whatever you prefer). Today, your agents write the code well. The question is what they're writing it against. What is the unified system to reference context your teams are using today?

@jefielding @jmj I’ve found that there are some very hard steps between making a deck and getting that wire transfer. Am I doing this wrong?

It’s easier to raise money for a pre-seed round than to get a job for many right now. Making a startup pitch deck with Claude is easier than writing your own resume. When people are deciding between applying for jobs or raising for a startup, many pick the startup. New world.

@toddsaunders Yeah but who admins the harness? Someone needs to be knowledgeable in maintenance and operating… I don’t think it’s just give Claude Code Enterprise to a mechanical contractor… seems like an admin layer is missing

I would bet that the majority of blue collar businesses would build it themselves…. If they had the tools
HF_Trader@HF_Trader

@toddsaunders I would bet the majority of blue collar business owners are more inclined to hire an AI company to come in and build their agentic systems.

Being a founder is so freaking hard man.. chewing glass every day. If you fail, no one cares. If you succeed, you are given way more problems. Sometimes I really wonder how many founders wake up in the morning and ask themselves "is it really worth it". Starting a company is so glorified - but building, scaling and maintaining one is a different story. This is why it's so important to do this for the right reasons - solve problems you are deeply passionate about and one you'll do even if the world is against you. At least there will be light at the end of the tunnel that's constantly drawing you in on those days when you are questioning your motivation. I have never had the courage to personally start a company for this reason. Just wanted to say to the ones going through this - I see you, I salute you and I admire you 🫡

a weird data point from fundraising right now: founders who say “we have 12 agent features” usually have no buyer story. founders who can point to one workflow that went from 4 hours to 11 minutes are getting real follow-up. the market is quietly done funding feature salad. it wants labor compression with an invoice attached.

As the recently expanded partnership with @AnthropicAI demonstrates, @SpaceX is offering AI compute as a service at significant scale. We are in discussions with other companies to do the same. Over time, especially with orbital data centers, we expect to serve AI at extremely high scale.

In an early meeting at Facebook (c. 2007), when I was describing the goals of Facebook Platform (an area I oversaw) Bill Gates yelled at me/us. His quote has stuck with me to this day: “This isn’t a platform. A platform is where the collective sum of revenues of the participants exceeds those of the platform itself.” Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the tokenmaxxing circle jerk.

🚨 Leopold Aschenbrenner's 13F just dropped Check this out, this is absolutely INSANE. Every major name. All brand new this quarter: SMH VanEck Semi ETF – $2.04B NVDA – $1.57B ORCL – $1.07B AVGO – $1.01B AMD – $969M MU – $584M TSM – $535M ASML – $494M INTC – $159M Last quarter he held a $747M bullish call on Intel. THIS QUARTER IT IS A PUT. He also cut his CoreWeave call from $774M down to $141M FULL EXITS: Lumentum, Coherent, Tower Semiconductor, Cipher Mining, Hut 8 What he kept and added: The bitcoin miners turning themselves into AI data centers. Applied Digital, Bitfarms, CleanSpark, IREN, Riot. Plus a brand new stake in Hive Digital. The thesis writes itself. Long the companies pouring the concrete for the data centers. Short the chips going inside them. The man who wrote the manifesto on AGI just bet against the semiconductors building it. We’ve been in this game for a very long time, and when we make a new move, we’ll share it here. Turn on notifications so you don’t miss the signal. This is VERY important. Many people will regret not following us.

Everyone loves the idea of being a founder. Until you’re 1 year in, broke, have zero traction, and your family is asking when you’ll get a “real” job.
