@kevinweil @inspired p.s. we should be collaborating with Nature Conservatory! I'll tell our head of charity partnerships!

@kevinweil congrats Kevin! Can't wait to see what's next. We still owe you big @inspired for connecting us to Hemal way back when :)

Today is my last day at OpenAI, as OpenAI for Science is being decentralized into other research teams. It’s been a mind-expanding two years, from Chief Product Officer to joining the research team and starting OpenAI for Science. Accelerating science will be one of the most stunningly positive outcomes of our push to AGI, and I’m rooting for @sama @markchen90 @fidjissimo @gdb @merettm and the whole team!

Today we’re announcing Collab Holdings, a different approach to private equity for extraordinary consumer brands. As the world gets faster, more synthetic, more algorithmically optimized, people reach for things that feel slow, crafted, and real. The companies that serve this instinct represent one of the most interesting opportunities in consumer investing.

@peggymangot @femalelongevity Just got my wife and I sauna hats for this purpose! All day sauna has some good ones we like

@femalelongevity This is awesome! Thank you! How do you protect your hair/scalp in the sauna? I want to make sure I get it right.

I own $296,000 worth of anti-aging technology as part of my plan to reach 120. Here’s everything I use, what it does, and the free alternative for each one (THREAD): 1. Sauna > Anything else on this list

@jordihays Congrats Jordi. Well done!

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI The world is changing quickly but TBPN will stay the same. Live every weekday just with a lot more resources. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of this journey big or small. We are 17 months in and unironically just getting started.

@jeff_weinstein @stripe Congrats! Will share results and feedback shortly!

@Readybrother @stripe non-zero, which is pretty good for day zero! any feedback? (still plenty of rough edges to sand down)

low key, my fav thing of the day is that agents can now donate to @stripe climate via machine payments 💚 your agent—feeling generous or guilty—can now programmatically give back as it burn tokens. => climate.stripe.dev

@Ericgolden 💯

Best pizza in the entire world, there is no question 10/10

@danhilltech Exciting Dan!

A lot of very exciting things coming here!

Everyone’s talking about living forever w/ biohacking, longevity stacks & optimizing for decades you haven’t lived yet. There’s real merit to it, and I’m glad it’s pushing younger generations toward healthier lives.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ But there’s another form of longevity that these movements keep overlooking & one I’d argue is equally worth pursuing. Legacy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Legacy is its own form of longevity & one that lets you outlive your years on earth & unlike a cold plunge, it benefits others, not just yourself.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ In an era of health influencer podcasts, peptides, and creatine stacks, I’d challenge more people to redirect some of that obsession toward the question: what am I actually building? I care about my health as much as anyone. But there’s a difference between extending your life and building something that outlives it.

Stress without purpose ages you

It’s not about junior vs senior, it’s about “good with AI” vs “not good with AI.”

Spot on Andrew. I think this is where family offices fit well. Free from fund cycles or forced exits, and focused on long term compounding over short term optics. No LP pressure, no shot clock. Just flexible liquidity, sustainable growth, and the ability to build legacy instead of chasing the next exit.

Any business reliant on the external capital markets to survive is inherently fragile. The model labs, despite their power, are highly fragile companies reliant on constant access to capital at eleven-figure scale. Their fragility is accentuated by the amount of leverage (explicit or otherwise) tied up in their relationships with capital providers, customers, and suppliers. Most software companies are fragile businesses too, because growth is very capital-consumptive. You’re subject to the unpredictable whims of investor sentiment, and your access to capital often evaporates at the very time you need it most -- to invest aggressively when competition is most fierce and the future most uncertain. That’s where we are today. Your relationship with capital is a liability. How can you transform it into an asset? Profitability is one way. But profitability alone doesn’t necessarily make you anti-fragile. Your ambitions are still constrained by the size of your cash flows, and you can still be out-competed by businesses with consistent access to capital in size greater than your own profits. What’s better than optimizing for short-term profitability is ensuring access to low-cost, aligned capital at whatever scale you need to achieve your ambitions. That’s how you not only become anti-fragile, but also give yourself a structural advantage against your competitors -- and turn moments of peak disruption and fear into an opportunity to aggressively invest while everyone else pulls back.

the advantages of keeping a team - and company - small will continue to grow

No entrepreneur is worried about AI taking their job - because being an entrepreneur isn't a job. Any AI that shows up is their ally.

FIX YOUR LOWER BACK! By popular demand, here’s my complete mobility routine for the lower back. Nearly 2 years ago I severely herniated a disc at L5-S1. I narrowly avoided emergency surgery. Even before that I had struggled with chronic lower back pain for 10+ years. I’ve spared no expense in my search for a cure. I tried everything short of invasive treatments (stem cells and surgery). What I learned along the way is that much of what the medical establishment tells you about the cause and the cure for back injuries is WRONG. The root cause of your chronic back pain is almost certainly *lack of mobility and strength* in the posterior chain (hamstrings, hips, glutes, back, abs) — especially the intricate scaffold of muscles up and down the spine. That's why outcomes for back surgeries are so abysmal—it doesn't address the real problem. So it stands to reason that the cure is to MOVE, building strength and range of motion. For the first time I feel like I’m steadily gaining ground and have a real shot at coming back even better than before my injury. I’m already doing things (like Jefferson Curls) that I never thought would be possible. Here’s my current program, which I consider a “best of” collection of mobility exercises for the back. I do the full program about 3 times a week and a subset of the exercises (the first 5) another couple times. 🧵
