🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump reveals there is a 300 FOOT SLIT in the Lincoln Reflecting Pool "We'll probably have to drain the water! THEY WENT IN THERE WITH A KNIFE." "5 people are arrested and under investigation right now. It's a SAD THING." "We had vandalism! We have a 300 foot slit right through it. Probably a box cutter or knife." "We had people lifting up the base."

.@ErikVoorhees: It’s actually good, from the Trojan horse perspective, that Bitcoin was traceable enough for traditional institutions to tolerate it. “When Bitcoin came out, everyone called it private, thought of it as private. It was referred to as anonymous in every news story. And in some ways, it is very private and very anonymous. But the truth is that it’s also extremely trackable and traceable. It is not private in reality. And the question is, should it have been from the start? And at first I thought, yes, it should have been more private. And that was a mistake in its design. However, I think if Bitcoin had been anonymous truly from the start, like a Zcash or a Monero, it would have had such antagonism from the state. I don’t know that the state could have snuffed it out, but they would have tried much harder. And I think it’s actually good, from the Trojan horse metaphor perspective, that it was traceable enough that the traditional institutions could tolerate it. They’ve never liked it, but they could at least tolerate it because there is some traceability. And that has allowed Bitcoin to grow. And I think in its shadow, that other crypto assets are actually anonymous is very healthy. The strength of cryptocurrency as a concept in society, I think, is served best when Bitcoin itself is not perfectly private, but other assets are. That is a very difficult thing, I think, for the state to combat. And that decentralization of attributes is really, really crucial. So, yeah, I’m very glad that there are other coins that are private. I want there to be more of them, and I want them to be more popular. And I think it’s okay that Bitcoin itself is not.”

Walter Isaacson reveals the wild story of Elon Musk making a U-turn mid-flight on Christmas Eve to raid his own server facility "And the engineer, and I'm sitting there in the meeting and he's getting really dark and they don't know how to deal with him because this is like a month after he took over Twitter. So they don't know this dude. And they say, well, no, I'm sorry, Elon, we can't do it. And that, and he'd say, you can do it in six weeks. And by the end of the meeting, he said, you can do it in six days." "He gets really dark and he decides he's going to fire them, but it's December 23rd. So it's like two days before Christmas. He does fire them." "But the next day, Christmas Eve, he's flying from San Francisco to Austin, Texas to go home for Christmas. He's with two young cousins on the plane who are engineers. And one of them says, why don't we just take those servers out ourselves?" "Elon Musk makes a U-turn in his airplane, tells the pilot to go to Sacramento. They were already over Nevada. They land. He rents, there are like four of them on the plane. They rent a truck, a sort of what we call a U-Haul truck, a rental truck. And they go to the server facility, and the guard there is like flummoxed. It's Christmas Eve, and they're forcing their way in, and they're looking at the servers, and one of the engineers says,"

Jason Alexander says Seinfeld's cast demanded $1,000,000 per episode because continuing to play George, Elaine, and Kramer would hurt their careers “The million dollar figure actually first came out of Julia's mouth. It was not a wild I wish I got a million dollars. There had been actual research done. We knew that for the network alone, every episode of Seinfeld generated $14 million of profit. Sheer profit for the network alone, let alone Castle Rock and the syndication participants” “We had argued that after five years of being in Seinfeld, there was no upside in the long run for the three of us to continue doing the show. It had made us celebrities. It had made us some money. But if we were going to be actors with careers that extended where we needed to play different roles, continuing to put out the image of George, Elaine, and Kramer was actually detrimental to our long run careers. So why was there any incentive for us to be in this for the long run unless those shows were extremely profitable to us. We argued that we needed to be cut in on syndication. We needed syndication points. We were told, in no small terms, to go take a hike” “When we got into the bargaining chair and NBC so desperately wanted to have another season or another two seasons, we said again, syndication. Our salaries are fine, but you're making such massive profits in syndication, profits of $3 to $4 million per show into infinity, and you don't want to give us any of that. In order for us to feel good about doing this show, I want to leave the most successful half hour in the history of television knowing that I never have to work again. That is what I require, or you can't have my services” “Knowing what all the revenues were, what we would have made had they given us the syndication, what everybody was making upfront, we tried to figure out what percentage of the success formula of the show were the three of us. We came up with Jerry, Larry, the writers, us, and everything else. As one fifth of that, we said here's the number, $1 million an episode”

🧠 Warren Buffett: “Hayatta istediğim her şeye sahibim.” “Bir yerine on evim olabilirdi. Daha mutlu olur muydum? Asla. İki yerine on arabam olabilirdi. Daha mutlu olmazdım. Bu beni çıldırtırdı.” ↓ “400 metrelik bir yatım olabilirdi. Ama o zaman onlarca kişilik mürettebatı yönetmek zorunda kalırdım. Bazıları benden çalardı. Bazıları birbiriyle kavga ederdi. Kim bilir daha neler olurdu? Gemi kaptanı olmak isteseydim başka bir mesleğe girerdim.” ↓ İnsanlar zenginliğin daha fazla şeye sahip olmak olduğunu düşünüyor. Oysa gerçek zenginlik; İstemediğin şeyleri satın almak zorunda olmamak, İstemediğin insanlarla çalışmak zorunda olmamak, Ve zamanını istediğin gibi kullanabilmektir. Finansal özgürlüğün özü budur.

"I flirt with the idea that smart TVs should be illegal. I hate them so much." - @PalmerLuckey Instead of building a TV, manufacturers feel like they need to be a services company, an app store, etc. "I wouldn't be surprised to see @modretro make a modern technology display." From his appearance on the show in October.

Quite literally everyone I’ve ever seen become the poster child for success ends up imploding. It rarely has anything to do with their own ability, but rather they found niche conquered it, and by virtue of their own success, the niche expands, goes mainstream, but they continue to play as if they’re in a small pond. They underestimate how quickly the edge has eroded, and they continue to take the same amount of risk (or more). Hope aschenbrenner learns from these lessons

Mark Zuckerberg reveals how much money Meta is losing because of Apple and calls out what he really wants them to do differently "I mean, at some point I did this like back of the envelope calculation of like all the random rules that Apple puts out. If they didn't apply, I think we make twice as much profit or something. And that's just us." "I mean, it's like all these small companies that probably can't even exist because of the taxes that they put in place." "I wish that they would just kind of get back to building good things and not having their ability to compete be connected to just like advantaging their stuff."

Mark Cuban says you can sell your company for a billion dollars and walk away with $30,000,000 and still be working forever for somebody else “You get caught in that trap of, I did my seed, I did my Angel, I did my Series A, then my Series B and you think that’s the accomplishment, you’ve already failed” “I’ve seen huge multi-billion-dollar exits where the original founder… it’s not nothing to make $20, $30 million” “But out of a multi-billion-dollar exit to make $30 million? That means you’re working forever for somebody else”

Now is that great? Is it facile? Or is it so mercurial that maybe you shouldn't trust me"

Lead of Claude Code: "100% of our code at Anthropic is now shipped by Claude. Over 30% of it is written using /loops. Loop engineering is the future of coding. Loops are as big a shift as move from source coding to agents" in a 1-hour podcast, a Claude Code lead engineer shares the internal setup for building the #1 coding tool. It’s the most useful breakdown of how the Anthropic team uses Claude internally that I’ve seen on YouTube. Worth more than a $500 vibe-coding course.

Had @Ada_Palmer back on – this time to talk about Machiavelli, perhaps the most misunderstood thinker of all time. Machiavelli cut his teeth as a high-level diplomat for Florence, a position from which he got to closely observe the most important rulers in Europe at the time, including the ones who were on the path to destroying his dearly beloved Florence. In 1513 the Medici retook control of Florence and, wrongly suspecting Machiavelli of participating in a coup attempt, fired, tortured, and exiled him. Machiavelli could have fled his exile and worked for any number of different principalities that would have been eager to make use of his talents. Instead, he decided to rot in the countryside and compile his career's lessons about power, politics, and human nature into a book he dedicated to the very man whose new regime had tortured and exiled him, Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici. But at least the Medici were in a position to use his insights to defend Florence. Machiavelli the patriot did not want any other hands to touch this book, because those hands, armed with these lessons, might pose an existential danger to Florence. The closest modern analogy, at least as Machiavelli would have seen it, would be Szilard's letter warning FDR about the possibility of a nuclear fission bomb. What were those insights? And how were they inspired by Machiavelli's dangerous diplomatic missions all across Europe, and his extensive reading of antiquity?

JD Vance just admitted the White House plan is to take ownership of every major AI company in America. Steven Bartlett brought up Bernie Sanders' proposal that workers should own 50% of the major AI companies. Vance's response: "The president by the way likes that idea too. He likes that idea." Trump's preferred mechanism, Vance said, is a sovereign wealth fund where the US government takes equity stakes in private AI companies. The Vice President literally just confirmed that an administration is planning the most radical economic policy proposed in modern American history. Partial nationalization of the MOST valuable private companies on earth. And the idea originally came from Bernie Sanders, who Vance said Trump agrees with on this point. This is not a small thing: The US has spent 80 years selling the world on the model where private companies stay private and the government stays off the cap table. The countries that did the opposite, with sovereign wealth funds owning slices of their biggest firms, are Norway, Saudi Arabia, China, and Singapore. And the Trump administration told you on a podcast it wants to do the same to Silicon Valley. But the reasoning Vance gave for it is where it gets really interesting... He said the historical analogy that scares him is the original Industrial Revolution. His own words: "Rich people got way richer. And that led to in Europe fascism and communism." He believes AI will not cause mass unemployment but mass inequality, and that mass inequality is what breaks societies. His fix is that workers need a seat at the bargaining table before the wealth gets created, not a redistribution check after. "I think labor unions are a very important model here." And the other thing about AI that scares him is surveillance. His exact phrase was that AI is "fundamentally a communist technology" because it lets governments and corporations watch and score people in ways NOTHING else can. He said he doesn't want a social credit system, doesn't want a tech CEO deciding whether you can buy a beer based on an algorithm nobody understands, and is afraid of exactly that outcome. So here is the full picture: The sitting Republican administration believes AI will make the rich dramatically richer, that this will radicalize the country the way the Industrial Revolution radicalized Europe, that the answer is government equity stakes plus stronger labor unions, and that the second-biggest threat is the surveillance state these companies are building. That is not a Republican worldview. That is not even a Democratic worldview. This is a worldview that has no political home in the United States right now. Most people are still arguing about whether ChatGPT will take their jobs. But the people with the actual power are already past that argument. They are quietly designing the framework for owning the companies that will. The craziest part is how casually Vance dropped it as a sidenote on a podcast millions will half-listen to in the background. If you have money in OpenAI, Anthropic, or anything like that, you should be watching the full thing yourself. What do you think?
