@elonmusk I’ve been using @grok lately and really like the ability to pin and organize conversations. While organizing them, I realized I had several separate chats covering the same subject, and it became difficult deciding which one to pin.
It would be really useful to have a “merge” feature that lets users combine conversations on the same topic into a single thread, with the AI still able to reference the full combined conversation history.

One of my best investments into sleep was getting a mandibular advancement device (MAD). Pushing the lower jaw slightly forward and allowing for better breath flow. Just breathing better severely outperforms any sleep supplements or similar. Snoring is also completely eliminated.

@Uber just acquired Blacklane.
And a kid from Miami is at the center of it.
@KMoshkani was one of the OG Uber leaders — GM of Miami, Head of the entire South region. He helped build the machine.
Then he left and bet on himself. OYO. CLEAR.
And now CEO of the Americas at @Blacklane.
Today his old company bought the company he’s helping to lead.
That’s not luck. That’s a decade of compounding.
Blacklane’s Americas HQ?
Right here in Miami.
I know @shervin and @FrancisSuarez are feeling the momentum with this one!
This city doesn’t just attract talent. It creates it.

When I first moved to Miami, I didn't know anyone.
No crew.
No network.
Just me and a laptop trying to figure out where I fit in this city.
Then one Saturday, I said screw it and showed up to a hackathon.
I didn't go in with a team.
I didn't go in with a plan.
I just showed up.
We won 3rd place. I made some of my closest friends that day. And honestly? That one Saturday quietly changed the trajectory of everything that came after for me in Miami.
I'm not exaggerating when I say it was a turning point.
That's exactly why I'm so excited about the eMerge AI Hackathon on April 18th at The LAB Miami.
Because somewhere in that room of 200+ builders, developers, and founders, someone is about to have their version of that day.
Maybe it's you.
And this time, you're not showing up empty-handed. Every hacker walks in with $100 in Lovable credits, access to mentors who've actually shipped products, cash prizes on the table, and a direct connection to the global eMerge Americas community.
The resources are there. The people are there.
All you have to do is show up.
This is your Saturday.

One month in at @slashapp and it's been anything but slow
Left investment banking, took a one-way ticket to Europe, spent 8 months traveling solo across europe, the middle east, asia, and latin america. And somehow that led me here
Since joining i've:
→ launched a Michelin event series that's already popping
→ built partnerships with VCs and PE firms across the country
→ started building a real network of founders in SF
→ organized an exclusive event for SF’s fastest growing founders at Sonoma Raceway 🏎️
→ closed deals with some of the most exciting startups in the YC ecosystem
→ built a pipeline from scratch in a brand new vertical
I came to Slash for one reason: ownership. And I found it.
And I’m just getting started…

I would like to host an initiation dinner for select new Miami residents who I’ve never met.
Absolutely no Brickell scene, no god forsaken Major Food Group restaurant. We are doing real Miami shit.
Please tag in your favorite new residents and I will respond with details accordingly.

Miami tech!! Who are the best local MCs with great energy you know for tech conferences? Let's decide together who will be the MC for the AI Stage at @eMergeAmericas 2026!

We have more inbound demand for Software Factory than we can manage. We're looking for someone to own that, and to drive targeted outbound. You'll onboard customers, land initial deals, and expand them into seven-figure relationships.
You:
* Are early in your career and hungry
* Can recognize patterns and are obsessed with process
* Have grit and are a self-starter. Success in enterprise sales is often about persistence and genuine curiosity about your customers and their challenges. Early startups are hard
* Thrive in ambiguity and with autonomy
* Want to go all-in with an incredibly talented team
* Have evidence of exceptional ability
This isn't a traditional AE seat. We want missionaries, not mercenaries. Come build with us...

Hosted a Founder meetup with @rabois & @nasdaily yesterday.
A few gems:
1. Most AI Rollups will fail / produce lackluster returns. Founders overestimate AI efficiency gains as a business model. Unless you can reduce costs by ~50%, you better have a killer growth strategy.
2. Entrepreneurs are athletes. Founders should be investing heavily in their health (VO2 max scores as a new investment criteria? 😄)
3. Don’t sleep on Miami as a tech hub. The density of top founders and investors with roots here is real.

Miami hasn’t always been the best place to live in the country, but it definitely feels like that now. Momentum is here.

Miami’s venture ecosystem keeps growing. I’m curious who you think the top five VC firms operating out of Miami are. Reply with your picks.

Tuesday morning. 9am. Coconut Grove.
No keynote. No agenda. No name tags.
Just founders, investors, students, and builders crowding a patio over cafecito and pastelitos — talking deals, sharing ideas, making introductions.
This happens once per month. Rain or shine.
Years ago @FrancisSuarez told me Coconut Grove is Miami’s Palo Alto.
It stuck with me.
The ecosystem isn’t being built in conference rooms. It’s being built at corner tables on Tuesday mornings by people who care about growth mindset and action.
It’s all happening. And it compounds.

In the pre-AI world, everyone needed an online presence.
In the AI world, everyone needs an offline presence.
Offline is the only way to create something AI can't easily generate. The only way to build real trust is to do it in person.
Expect a lot more group dinners, game nights, poker nights, run clubs, founder retreats, hackathons, supper clubs, trivia nights, and watch parties.
Your in person presence is a marketing moat.
Once someone starts seeing you as an AI-only marketer, it becomes harder to win their trust.
AI is still okay for one-time transactions (like e-commerce), but in any relationship-driven industry, you need an offline presence.

Delusional optimism is a secret to success.
People who overestimate their chances work harder and persist longer.
Even against the odds, that extra persistence turns failures into wins.
