We're doing something we've never done before. In October, we're taking 16 people to Tuscany for 5 days (venue in the attached pics). Here's what's included: property viewings, sessions with Italian lawyers and tax advisors, wine lunch with local producers, cooking class at the villa and more. Built together with SmookItalia (creators of immersive experiences across Italy). Full details and pricing will be announced on April 14th and if this is of interest to you feel free to join the waitlist (link in comments). Grazie mille 🇮🇹

High value, high impact, open-source investment in AI: syllabus, agents, resources on hand here

@jaxson @UofT @munkschool @AnthropicAI @GoogleDeepMind @law_ai_ @mozilla Big news and kudos to Munk and team! Another smart reason to be a proud 🇨🇦

I've been teaching a master's course on AI at @UofT 's @munkschool - and I'm excited to share it with you! One of the best parts has been the calibre of guest lecturers: folks from @AnthropicAI @GoogleDeepMind and @law_ai_. This week, Mark Surman — @mozilla President and one of the most important voices on open source AI — came by and gave us a fantastic walkthrough of how he's thinking about the evolution of the internet to frontier AI, and Canada's role as a middle power. When I told him about the course, his first reaction: "You should open source it." So we did. Full syllabus and a couple AI agents and resources we've built together — all on GitHub: github.com/jaxson/ai-poli… Covers everything from the AI supply chain to frontier model governance to hands-on prototyping. More materials and agents coming at the end of term. Feel free to use it, remix it, share it. And remember a future with plenty of open source AI is a good one!

@Bencera Signed up! Day 1 of the dream

About to hit $4.5M run rate. Still 1 founder + AI. Zero employees. Honest moment: this past week almost broke me. No one prepares you for what PMF actually feels like. Every infra partner hitting rate limits. Every bug that could happen, happened. Investors throwing big numbers at me. Customers flooding every channel. All at once. I went silent. Stopped tweeting, stopped LinkedIn, stopped podcasts, stopped growth. Just me and my AI agents, fixing things one by one. Here's what I learned: everything is solvable with AI. Every single thing. I'm building Polsia so every solopreneur gets access to the same tools keeping me alive right now. If I can survive this alone, I can package it for everyone. The future is solopreneur + AI. I'm living at the edge so you don't have to.

France’s foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot has floated the idea that Canada could one day join the European Union, using the transatlantic ally as a striking example of the bloc’s global appeal. politico.eu/article/canada…

Love this guy He is right

France’s foreign minister Jean‑Noël Barrot envisioned that Canada could one day become a member of the EU. His comment was met with applause from the audience. Wow, I did not see that coming either! I genuinely admire Canada… they truly are our best ally. 🇪🇺🇨🇦

🚨 BREAKING: Iran didn't respond to US bombs with missiles. They responded with GAME THEORY. And in doing so, they may have just fired the most dangerous shot at the US dollar in 52 years. Here's the move most people completely missed: 🧵 (Read this slowly. Share it widely.)

Based on the entirety of this photograph, what is your best estimation of the year it was taken?

Two rings can form a square,if you’re willing to look beyond the assumptions you started with. Expand your mental flexibility and entirely new perspectives begin to appear.

Colourized version of my grandmother & her family. She is the last one living amongst all of them. She sits near her father on the left. She wanted me to keep these for my children to know where my kids come from. A long ways from igloo to modern society. Her dad built the igloo

@QuotePressfield Resistance afflicts us with butterfingers. We fumble away the prize we have run ninety-nine yards to achieve.

Unveiling our new startup Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI Labs). We just completed our seed round: $1.03B / 890M€, one the largest seeds ever, probably the largest for a European company. We're hiring! [the background image is the Veil Nebula - a picture I took from my backyard, most appropriate for an unveiling] More details here: techcrunch.com/2026/03/09/yan…

This statement is false. From chatgpt: “A widely cited research effort is the Costs of War Project at Brown University. Their findings for the post-9/11 wars (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan, etc.): •Direct violent deaths: about 906,000–937,000 •Indirect deaths from war effects: about 3.6–3.8 million •Total estimated deaths: roughly 4.5–4.7 million •People displaced: about 38 million

Mearsheimer: From 1971 to 2021, U.S. murdered 38 million people. The amount of havoc we have wrought on the Middle East in recent years is just stunning. What we do in places like Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, we use economic leverage to basically starve people, to make them suffer. 1/
