A million questions

@alifarhat79 The hardest currency is military might

@CuriosityonX @grok is this real or is this copium?

The invisible Glass experiment Scientists once placed a transparent glass barrier inside an aquarium. On one side was a fierce pike, and on the other side were several smaller fish swimming freely. When the hungry pike saw the smaller fish, it immediately rushed forward to attack. Bang. It slammed straight into the glass and bounced back. Confused, the pike kept trying again and again, but every attempt ended the same way. The repeated collisions injured its head and knocked off some of its scales. Eventually, the pike became frightened and retreated to a corner of the tank. After some time, the scientists quietly removed the glass barrier. The smaller fish now swam freely throughout the aquarium, even brushing against the pike’s mouth. But the pike never tried to eat them again. Even though it was hungry, it refused to attack. In its mind, the invisible wall was still there. A few days later, the pike reportedly died of starvation, surrounded by food. This phenomenon is often referred to as the Pike Effect or Pike Syndrome. It’s often used as a metaphor for how repeated failure can create invisible limits in the mind.

@RandianCapital I’ve been backing up the truck and buying the dip

Agree. The war will end within a few weeks. Iran has been decimated militarily

@garrytan Didn’t Google Gemini have 2M token context window in 2024?

I underestimated how powerful Opus 4.6 with 1M tokens is. Even last year we were absolutely hitting context limit problems constantly. 1M tokens means you can do much more complex analysis entirely in context. Claude Code is so much better. This is the worst it will ever be.

@pmddomingos Just did your the economist reading this week?

Pornography generates $100 billion in revenue a year worldwide, twice as much as AI.

@daymakerguy Cakes have sugar and cream which are addicting. selling cakes == selling drugs. Makes sense you make more than them. If only I could eat infinite amount of cake and not drop dead 🤔

SF is so stuck up on AI. I literally sell cakes and I make more than every single one of you

@jasonjosephlee How so?

Being a developer, I can tell you right now that this developer lost money😂 The most nightmare thing ever to build.

The only career you can rely on is entrepreneurship. But 80% of people aren't cut out for it.

@PhilipJohnston When would people stop wasting time on petty stuff like this

This has to be one of the funniest responses to an FCC filing of all time 🤣🤣🤣

@kevinxu Kevin saying the quiet part out loud 🤫

read between the lines anon this is incredibly bullish

@bindureddy Google will win the AI race in the West, China on Earth and SpaceX in space

@kevinxu Agreed. The midwits are short the market now and there are a lot of them. $HOOD introduced short selling recently

the short squeeze next month is gonna be insane

@joecarlsonshow How do you tell their returns? Do they report real time returns?

If you feel bad about unerpeforming the market YTD. Bill Ackmans portfolio is down -8% Dev Kantasaria is down: -20% Chris Hohn is down: -11% These are estimates based on their portfolio at the start of the year. And they show that good investors don't optimize for performance over short time periods. They optimize their portfolios for long-term outperformance.

@amitisinvesting @public Pretty good ad - better than anthropics

Robinhood never pulled childish marketing stunts to get people to leave Schwab or Fidelity. They executed with product. That’s why they are winning. Maybe something to think about for your marketing team. Maybe the better product is what wins & not ad-hom attacks on competitors.

Sound familiar?

$lng citadel $BX 🚀

@QualityInvest5 Yeah if you put 1M you would have 8M by now

If you put $10K in 2022, you'd have a cool 80-grand by now 😳 Insane. $MU

@amitisinvesting meh

does it feel like extreme fear to anyone?

@Citrini7 are you saying you would have lost money putting on the trade?

So much of this game is just trying your best not to learn the same lesson over and over again. The most recent re-learned lesson for me… common sense is nearly always a better foundation for a trade than expert wisdom if you think there’s a large inflection or regime shift underway. A little more than a week ago, I called up a friend of mine that understands energy far better than I do and said something like “seems like the no brainer play here is to be long Brent and short WTI”. This seemed like common sense, after all it’s not like there’s a war in the continental US and if the government was willing to sell futures they’d probably be open to using regulation to increase domestic supply. Right? But I had it explained to me a laundry list of reasons why that wouldn’t work. That was when the K6 spread was at about $6. A week later, the spread is almost $12 and I didn’t put it on because I figured my tourist understanding of oil meant it wouldn’t work. This is nothing against the wisdom of experts, but in markets - sometimes - it pays to be an idiot tourist basing your views on a common sense thesis. Especially at inflection points…Like the blind men and the elephants, it’s possible to be too close up to something and miss the very straightforward big picture. It was true with natural gas and ags in early 2022, it was true with semis in 2023…it’ll probably keep being true whenever there’s a big phase shift happening.

@Polymarket is this ai generated?

We're excited to announce 'The Situation Room' by Polymarket is coming to Washington, D.C. The world's first bar dedicated to monitoring the situation. 🧵

@kevinxu makes sense

friend of mine finally got a house, wife, and kids never seen him more stressed in his life

@LynAldenContact wow zuck really cut losses here

It’s still nuts to think about how much Facebook invested in this direction and then literally changed the company name around it.
