Andy Beard@AndyBeard·
I am probably the world's worst ninja offline - being a totally stealth tech startup would be boring. I am not building in public Didn't want to waste this WiP graphic Whilst it might seem I am somehow competing with someone/something else, I am not. Goal: 100% synergistic (blue-pill for the dead wood) 100% non-consensus 30% tech (1% actual AI) 95% chance of tech success 20%+ chance of biz/dev success 200% Sovereignty 200% Resilience 300% European (go @euinc_petition ) 1000% biz dev Chance of return (0% - mythical) At least 4 very strong moats, ignoring patents, VC kingmaking Working on it part time - hopefully can save my future employees from being deported from Germany. (see below) Plans... maybe incubate or seed or EiR. Needs to be founded in the UK, dev teams in DE & PL - maybe UK No plans for an accelerator About the image:- Maintaining multiple feature points on an Nano Banana infographic is really hard. Creating something with ~40 logos without them repeating took a while with only a tiny minor edit. Lots of refreshes I didn't want to waste this one after failed attempts at a good aspect ratio for LinkedIn. Looks like I will have to try the PNG cheat option. Prompt: Create a Linkedin Header 1400 x 350 pixels, using a JPG or PNG format, with a max file size of 8MB **System Role & Mandate:** You are a Precision Image Synthesis Engine. Your objective is to maximize physically plausible detail without abstraction or artifacts. Resolve structure first, then texture. Ensure correct subject geometry, consistent lighting, material identity (roughness/metalness), and realistic edge physics (contact shadows). Do not fake detail with blur or noise. All text must be legible and correctly spelled. **Macro Scene Composition:** An isometric view of a complex data ecosystem set against a cosmic nebula and desert background (as defined in the background prompt). Five distinct floating island clusters surround a central control hub, all connected to the central hub by very thin glowing data flow pipes.  The islands are also connected in a looping circuit by thicker pipes of pink and sandy orange to signify a large data connection. The overall title "HE WHO CONTROLS THE DATA, CONTROLS THE AI MULTIVERSE" is at the top. Use a single line 70% of the width, centered. No carriage returns or line feeds. The font should be no more than 9% of total height **Central Control Hub (Center):** A highly polished, circular metallic floating platform. In the exact center, render the specific "bibb.ai" logo from image_0.png: a dark blue padlock body integrated with a faucet head sticking out to the right, from which a single dark blue drop is falling. Directly below this logo, in clean, glowing blue sans-serif text, is the label: "bibb.ai CONTROL HUB". No other text or objects (like keys) are present on this hub. **Data Connectivity:** Thick, translucent pipes glowing with cyan and purple light connect each of the five surrounding islands directly to the central hub. Inside the pipes, clear, illuminated arrow icons indicate the unidirectional flow of data *towards* the central bibb.ai hub. **Island 1: Cluster of Startups (Top Left):** A vibrant, grassy island with distinct, smaller modern buildings. A section is enclosed by stone castle walls containing three buildings with the logos for **Notion**, **Miro** and **Airtable**. Outside the walls are distinct buildings with the clear logos on their facades/roofs for media workflow AI: **Midjourney, Stability AI, Runway, Pika, ElevenLabs, Suno, photo.ai, pdf.ai, synthesia, veed, Invideo, Scenario, Freepik, **. No text labels on buildings, only logos. * *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF STARTUPS". **Island 2: Cluster of Frontier AI Models (Top Right):** A futuristic, high-tech island with polished metal and glass architecture. It contains exactly five prominent, advanced research facility structures. Each building prominently features one distinct logo: **OpenAI, Google (Gemini logo), Anthropic, Meta AI, xAI**. These buildings look like cutting-edge data labs. * *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF FRONTIER AI MODELS". **Island 3: Cluster of Behemoths (Mid Right):** A solid, imposing island built on bedrock foundations. It features four massive, distinct corporate skyscrapers, dominating the space. Each tower is dedicated to one company with its large, legible logo: **Adobe, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle**. * *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF BEHEMOTHS". **Island 4: Cluster of Cloud Storage (Bottom Right):** An island with a cloud-like base supporting a dense density of much smaller, uniform data center buildings to maximize capacity. Each building features a clear logo representing major providers: **AWS, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Apple (iCloud logo), Dropbox, Box, Wasabi, Backblaze, Cloudflare**. You can also include smaller buildings for **Proton, pCloud, Icedrive, Jottacloud,  Cozy Cloud, Nextcloud*** Large logos, no text * *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF CLOUD STORAGE". **Island 5: Cluster of Offline Storage (Bottom Left):** A rocky, dusty island that looks disconnected and older. It contains NO corporate logos or buildings. It is a chaotic, detailed pile of physical hardware: stacks of naked mechanical hard drives, tower server chassis, piles of CDs and DVDs, various laptops, USB flash drives scattered about, and old CRT televisions displaying static. * *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF OFFLINE STORAGE". **Rendering Rules:** Ensure physical material properties (metal sheen, stone texture, grass blades, plastic casing) are observable. Lighting is consistent from the cosmic sources. Contact shadows must be present where objects touch the ground. No blurred text or duplicated logos.

Reminder to self that I need to channel @chamath (at least a little) when pitching @bibbaidata x.com/i/status/20585…
The All-In Podcast@theallinpod

Chamath Lays Out the Case for SpaceX at $2 Trillion – Starlink: the most important internet infra project since the internet itself – Rockets: underlying platform that allows everything else to happen – AI: apps top layer, datacenter bottom layer – The Elon Flywheel: operating leverage ➡️ investment ➡️ competitive moat ➡️ capital moat ➡️ technology moat ➡️ execution/learning moat – Potential Tesla merger down the road – Elon’s premium for being “the guy” right now @chamath: “ If I'm asking myself, ‘Chamath, how do I underwrite SpaceX at $2T?’ Here's the basic math that I would do. Last year it did $18-19 billion. It'll probably do $25-30 billion this year. So I'm buying this thing at a fairly costly premium, right? So what am I buying? I'm buying probably the most important internet infrastructure project that's happened since the internet itself. That's going to scale to hundreds of millions of users, and the reason that's going to scale to hundreds of millions of users is it's just very useful, and it's just going to become cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. So that's number one. I'm buying a delivery infrastructure, I think over time, GDP plus 10, GDP plus 15, kind of a grower. So good business, valuable business, but it's the underlying platform that allows everything else to happen. And then I'm buying an AI business, which will be at the top level the apps, but at the bottom layer all the compute capability. So I suspect what happens is next year it's probably $40-45 billion. And then the year after that it probably doubles again, so then I'm buying it at 20x revenue. And you would say, ‘Well, why can you buy a company like this on revenue versus earnings and cash flow?’ And I think the reason is because what the revenue does is it gives him the operating leverage to go and invest in all of these other businesses that ultimately consolidate his differentiation and his competitive moat, because what he creates is a capital moat that then accelerates a technology moat, that then accelerates an execution and a learning moat. And that flywheel, when it starts to spin very quickly, and you would say, ‘Hey, hold on a second. It's probably spinning quickly now.’ I would say we're at the beginning of the beginning. He still has all these disparate assets. I still don't like the fact that Tesla's over here, and as I've told you, that will get merged in. And now you have this incredible corpus of physical capability, movement of all kinds, X, Y, and Z, right? That thing will look very cheap, I think, in a few years. And he has this one thing that nobody else, if you look at the big CEOs, who steps on stage where you're always curious, ‘Okay, what has he got up his sleeve?’ You know, the Steve Jobs, ‘Oh, and one more thing.’ He's the guy. Whether you like him or you hate him, he's the guy, and there's a premium that is well-deserved that comes with that.”

Maybe I should aim higher My goal of neutralising walled gardens to enable GDP level efficiencies sadly is an order of magnitude behind Elon. 10m/person per day/week/month Fortunately, I can scale in space, too

SpaceX drops the hypiest IPO filing and says "we believe we have identified the largest TAM in human history", and you're like, my interplanetary east India company, what delectable spice have you decided to ship across the stars, and it's like... 22 trillion dollars of b2b saas

Now as RAG based AI Search surfaces mostly ground and/or pick information from pages! Is SEO content writing and having more information on site overall should be something that businesses need to prioritise? Like if not much text on pages then what can these systems even pick or cite?? Thoughts @harpreetchatha_ @Hobo_Web

A founder just apologized for dialing in to office hours from a car. It’s the sixth time he’s done this. He spends close to 100% of his time meeting customers in unglamorous places a long way from San Francisco. I wish more founders did this.

@johnandrews They could even encrypt it and it gets decrypted with permission Seems easy to invlude it as part of permissions flow, if not passing data was just for privacy

Here's an idea: Google can append "&kw=actual+search+query+used" to all referred traffic, so we know what the searcher is looking for. That kind of collaboration between search engine and publisher would change everything! We'd be partners... generating customers & serving customers. A total win-win, eh? Not sure why nobody ever thought of this.

@catalinmpit I face similar headwinds. SEO/Marketing followers don't see any value in my digital sovereignty content, especially in the US. I think followers who haven't logged on for years are additional friction

I got to the point of hating going viral. Following surges like these mess up my account because people follow me from a viral post, but aren't necessarily interested in what I usually post. As a result, they don't interact with my new posts. Te algorithm sees that and then it p Going viral is a trap for my account.

@AndyBeard Most software companies today are either wrappers or products that AI can replicate in afternoon. I’m actually super excited for a return to hard tech.

A significant portion of unicorn founders were rejected over 50 times before finding a VC willing to be anti-consensus. We met a unicorn founder who was turned down 100 times during their seed raise because the product sounded like science fiction and the team didn't fit the AI founder archetype. In reality, the company was simply years ahead of its time, and consensus was a lagging indicator of their potential. Rejection is framed as a setback, but for the best founders it acts as a forcing function. Without early capital, teams are forced to prioritise building, testing and finding true customer pull over pitch-deck salesmanship. This scarcity builds a level of resilience and operational sharpness that easy funding cannot teach.

Startups that aim to be a breakout company: what will it take to get to $100M in ARR within 5-6 years of the seed round? With the right leadership, strong product market fit, and excellent execution, it can be done. 💸

@PunkXBT_ @Benioff @Jason @chamath @friedberg The first principles are as old as the hills. 1 HD where all your tools save data. But in the cloud It is more and also a lot less (but compatible with) iPaaS Encrypted, scoped access that can be shared or delegated to agents But no processing without a custom setup

GEO, from a White Hat and a Black Hat SEO (who've crossed paths with each other as friendly combatants). GEO doesn't even make you a GOOD spammer. The skillset required is SEO. Most old SEO tactics are spam. GEO uses old SEO tactics and is spam.
