@tszzl At some point, demand stops consuming infrastructure and starts creating it

compute spot markets today have a permanent highest bidder called claude inference that sets the price- which changes the NPV of all datacenter buildouts thus sort of bailing out and derisking them

Most opportunities don't look like opportunities at first

@hthieblot The hardest part isn't finding them. It's believing before everyone else does

@1Umairshaikh Users don't choose models. They choose products. Developers decide which models power them.

Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google. The real war isn't for users. It's for developers.

Curiosity has probably been the best investment I've ever made. It taught me things school didn't. Introduced me to people I never expected to meet. And turned random ideas into things that actually exist. Still curious. Probably always will be.

@unusual_whales We're watching AI transition from an industry to an instrument of state

President Trump has said that the White House may take equity stakes in American AI companies, after it was revealed they might take a stake in OpenAI, per Reuters

@Polymarket Bro summoned the entire under-sink ecosystem

JUST IN: India’s Gen Z Cockroach movement stages its first protest in New Delhi after calling for “all cockroaches to assemble”

@naval Eventually, every mission gets judged by the product.

The product is the mission.

@IndianTechGuide Breaking news: Newspapers are no longer edible.

🚨 FSSAI has directed food vendors across the country to stop using newspapers for wrapping or serving food.

@CricCrazyJohns No statements. No complaints. Just runs

Noon - Removed from the Indian T20I team. Night - Scored 48(24) in T20 Mumbai league. SURYAKUMAR YADAV - Never Give up Attitude 🫡

@IndianTechGuide Bengaluru. Come for the opportunities. Stay because your landlord is holding 10 months of deposit hostage

🚨 Which city is more expensive to live in right now: Bengaluru or Gurugram?

@IndianTechGuide Discovering reserves is good news. Ensuring they benefit people while minimizing the cost to nature is where true success lies.

Small leaks sink big ships

@mufaddal_vohra It takes a special person to celebrate others when the spotlight has just moved away from you 👏🏻

Suryakumar Yadav at Mumbai T20 League: “Very happy for Shreyas Iyer. We played a lot of cricket for Mumbai and India together. Most importantly 3 back to back T20i captains for India from Mumbai now and it it very proud moment for all of us at Mumbai cricket”.

@hvgoenka It's easy to forget that behind the headlines and the talent, he's still just a kid.

Did you know what the young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi does before a match to stay calm and focused? He watches his favourite Chhota Bheem cartoons on his phone! 😊 So happy to know that he is holding on to his childhood.

@JohnCena The scary part is that small leaks rarely look urgent until it's too late

A small leak neglected will eventually sink the greatest of ships.

2026 feels like the year where everyone is simultaneously: • getting laid off • building AI startups • looking for jobs • telling everyone else to build in public Interesting times.

@1Umairshaikh More people can build today. Very few people can convince others to care. I'd still bet on the founder who can sell.

A founder can code. Another founder can sell. Who has the bigger advantage?

@paulg People rarely become billionaires by taking value from millions. They usually do it by creating value for millions.

If the key to becoming a billionaire is to exploit people, as some politicians claim, we at YC are idiots. We've spent the last 20 years choosing the wrong founders and teaching them the wrong things. Or maybe we do actually understand startups, and the politicians are wrong.
