This is just not accurate for Manhattan, where there’s massive competition to even get a spot at many daycares, let alone find one that’s less than $4k per month and covers reasonable hours that allows for a 2 parent working household to exist. Your other points may be valid but this one isn’t.

@Claire @Dlus That number is the average for family daycare, often out of someone’s home. It increases as you opt for learning centers, the average for which sits at half of what the family pays. (I’m not denying it’s expensive, its just not *that* expensive): comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/child-…

This article is a great reminder that a lot of the affordability panic is self-imposed. This couple wants to live next to Central Park, “tries” to cook dinner twice a week & spends $50,000+ a year on bougie childcare when the NYC average tops out at half that. These are choices.

Any venture backed early stage startups looking for an excellent Chief of Staff. A former intern is looking, she's a strong technical AI pm wrapping up HBS and spikes on grit and getting shit done.

Excited to welcome Kat McGuire (@katmcguir3) as our Chief of Staff! Kat came in and immediately started solving problems, impressing both me and the team. She just gets it when it comes to running startups. We've talked for hours about the future and vision for the company, and could not be more optimistic about what's next.

Realized how big the bubble was when a partner at a tier 1 VC admitted in a group chat that they had no idea what ‘Terminal Value’ meant in a discussion around public valuation of AI co’s would look like Chat was 2 HF guys, me (much maligned ex-banker) & ex operator VC 💀

I want to take 3 executives through a hands-on personal AI stack build: you, your EA/CoS, your spouse, your actual workflows. 2 months. High-touch. Not cheap. Lobsters will be harmed 🦞 DM if interested.
Sahil Bloom@SahilBloom

There's an opportunity right now to build a $100k per month side hustle as a Personal AI Tutor for executives and entrepreneurs. And you don't have to be *that* technical to do it. Here's how I'd think about it: There are probably tens of thousands of senior leaders and entrepreneurs who desperately need to learn and leverage the latest AI innovations but have no idea how to do that. They aren't going to be standard buyers of the latest AI course that some online guru is selling. Maybe they've bought the course, but they probably didn't watch it or they found the material mismatched with their needs. They have the disposable income to pay $5-10k per month for a few hours of time if it's truly building high leverage skills. Probably even something they could expense through their business as personal development... It's a real, high cash-flow opportunity for someone to launch a service business as a Personal AI Tutor for those people. Probably best if it can be in person, like a real tutor, but could do it remotely quite easily these days. 1-2 hours per week + 1-2 recorded video modules to continue to build skills between sessions. 5-10 clients per month and you have a meaningful cash flow engine. Generate leads on X with content catering to that audience and case studies. Could offer a free 30-minute kickoff session to prove value or do a monthly webinar walk through for free and upsell into the live tutoring. All comes down to the quality of what you deliver long term, but my guess is people would see a positive ROI right away and the referral engine would drive the business. Just a thought...

We're closing in on five hours with no phone service for seemingly 25-40% of the entire country with no resolution in sight. That seems very bad.

Growth after outbound: what's going to be the contemporary equivalent of magazine and conference businesses from the early days of software? There's an opportunity to build/buy platforms just like Masa did 25 years ago h/t @CoyneLloyd for pushing

The idea that 10x’ing outbound with AI will bring CAC down is insane. Deep trust within your category will be essential to have credibility to get a meeting, let alone to sell. This will drive a huge change now only in how companies are built but in what models are viable and who builds/runs them.

@WillManidis The Social Network of the 2030s will be a courtroom drama where Sam Altman faces off against Marc Rowan. The twist: AI judge.

it won’t happen but my favorite outcome to imagine from the AI decade is that strong AGI is achieved but due to a series of poorly negotiated debt agreements it’s owned entirely and exclusively by Apollo Global representing the interests of thousands of American retirees

if you write a good enough lesswrong post about how lenders repossessing data centers after default is actually an existential risk and massively increases the chance of unaligned private credit owned AGI I’m sure one of the labs would pay you a few billion a year at this point

I've asked ~10 high net worth individuals who are outside of the media ecosystem what they think of Air Mail as a publication. Not one person has even heard of it. Have no idea why Puck wanted to buy it. Feels like a vanity addition with limited tangible upside.

@seangriffey I bet that there’s a spreadsheet somewhere with audience math that pencils and I hope they’re able to make it reality.

@TAGuthrie It might be as simple as that but not a great reason to buy a company...even if you are only using stock to get it.

@WillManidis Especially true as job turnover increases. Without work to define their identities, white collar professionals will turn to religion.

belief in the religious/spiritual has dropped precipitously as people urbanized. high weirdness can’t exist on a crowded city street. as cities become increasingly strange/deterritorialized over the next decade, you have to assume the eternal things outside will come back inside
