The @Commanders just got the SMOOTHEST slot technician in the entire 2026 WR class. Might as well call him Picasso because his route running paints a filthy picture. He breaks ankles at the top of routes and is fearless over the middle. He will be a chain mover in Washington. Just the type of WR that, if coached properly, can help Jayden Daniels take the next step in his development.

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that this is one of the greatest broadcast opens in the history of sports television. What a perfect 75 seconds. The pictures. The music. The voice of Jim Nantz. Absolute chills.

@lildope4vegas @NoContextHumans @grok So when it is positioned down from the edge (which is tape that adds structure) it is purely decorative. It has no structural or any other purpose than to make it distinctive in appearance. Grok can fight me on this 😘

@NoContextHumans Those lines aren’t just for look. they’re called dobby borders. They strengthen the towel, prevent fraying, and help it keep its shape after washing.

A CEO from one of our portfolio companies shared this with their team. I’m re-sharing it with their permission, because it resonated and reflects what all founders and CEOs should be communicating. -- We are living through a period of compounding change. And in moments like this, the biggest risk is no longer making the wrong decision. It is moving too slowly while the world moves around you. There are two paths. We can play defense: - Protect what we have - Optimize what works - Wait for clarity It feels safe. It isn’t. Or we can play offense: - Learn faster than the environment changes - Use new tools to solve old problems in better ways - And create entirely new strategies and businesses That’s where the opportunity is. Challenge yourself to do things faster and better than you have ever attempted. Stay uncomfortable. Stay on the front foot.

A 15-year-old girl immigrates to New Jersey from China. Doesn’t speak English. Her parents, both educated engineers back in Chengdu, are now working as cashiers and restaurant cooks. She gets a job washing dishes at a Chinese restaurant to help the family survive. She gets into Princeton on a full scholarship. Her reaction is so disbelieving she asks two different advisors to verify the acceptance letter is real. Then her mom gets sick, so the family opens a dry cleaning shop in Parsippany. Every weekend for seven years, Fei-Fei Li leaves Princeton’s physics department to run the register, handle inspections, talk to customers, manage billing. Monday through Friday: quantum mechanics problem sets. Saturday and Sunday: sorting other people’s laundry. She later called herself the “CEO” of the dry cleaning business. She kept running it remotely through half of her PhD at Caltech. In 2007, she proposed building an image dataset so massive her own mentor told her she’d taken the idea “way too far.” Pre-ImageNet, the entire AI field was working with datasets containing a few hundred images. She built one with 15 million. Most researchers at the time believed algorithms were the bottleneck. She bet on data when nobody else would. By 2012, a team ran a neural network on that dataset and halved the existing error rate overnight. AlexNet on ImageNet became the moment the deep learning era started. Every computer vision product shipping today traces its lineage back to that dataset. Fast forward to 2024. She starts World Labs. Four months in, $230 million raise, $1 billion valuation. Today, $1 billion more at roughly $5 billion. The bet investors are making: that the woman who gave AI its eyes with 2D image recognition is about to give it spatial awareness of the 3D physical world. Her new model, Marble, generates persistent 3D environments from text or images. Unlike video generators that fake depth frame by frame, Marble creates actual geometric space where objects stay where you left them. The investor list tells you everything. AMD and NVIDIA both wrote checks. When the two biggest competing chipmakers both fund the same startup, they’re telling you this workload is coming whether their competitor funds it or not. Autodesk put in $200 million and signed on as strategic advisor, which means they see spatial AI integrating directly into CAD and design workflows within 18 months. From dry cleaner to ImageNet to a $5 billion spatial intelligence company. Fei-Fei Li has now placed two bets that the rest of the field thought were too early and too big. The first one created modern computer vision. The second one is trying to give machines the ability to understand physics. If she’s right again, this is the last major unlock before embodied AI actually works.

Found my first company that will fall victim to @openclaw... been using @claralabs for years and happily spending $200/month. Clawdbot does it way better and free... pays for the mac mini in <3 months. Just the start.

Naval is right, and the math proves it in a way most people aren’t processing. GPT-4 launched at $60 per million output tokens. Today, equivalent capability costs under $1. That’s a 98% price collapse in two years. Demand didn’t fall. It exploded. OpenAI went from $1B to $12B+ in ARR while slashing prices every quarter. This is Jevons Paradox at civilizational scale. When coal got cheaper in the 1800s, England didn’t use less coal. They burned 10x more. Intelligence is following the same curve, except the adoption rate is compressing a century of energy economics into 36 months. The part nobody’s thinking through: every previous commodity with “unlimited demand” eventually restructured the labor market around it. Electricity didn’t create unlimited demand for electricians. It eliminated most of the jobs that electricity replaced and created entirely new ones that didn’t exist before. The 280x cost reduction Stanford measured between 2022 and 2024 means a task that cost $1,000 in AI compute now costs $3.57. At that price, companies don’t just automate what humans were doing. They start doing things that were never economically viable at human-labor pricing. Analysis that would have required a $200K analyst for a year now runs for $50 in an afternoon. Unlimited demand for intelligence at near-zero marginal cost means intelligence stops being the scarce input. Taste, judgment, and the ability to ask the right question become the bottleneck. The returns flow to people who can direct intelligence, not people who provide it. That’s the real trade: the value of raw intelligence is cratering while the value of knowing what to do with intelligence has never been higher. And that gap is only getting wider.
Naval@naval

There is unlimited demand for intelligence.

I have been on the hunt for the best pillow for years now. Nothing has been satisfactory. If anyone has any suggestions outside of the purple pillow, I’d love to know.
