Hosted a spelling bee this week! After hosting a bunch of events in sf I think I had the most fun at this Thanks to the excellent judges @sparab22, @pratyushbuddiga and @hathwar607 @ruslanjabari and @fdotinc for the wonderful space and set up @KeatonInglis and @Ianmakesmarkets for setting up our Kalshi market (that had over $1k of volume!) And congrats to our winner (of the $29 prize pot), Kevin Moch! See you next year for round 2!!

@harpriiya @a16z @speedrun AMAZING

I can finally talk about this!! Hotbox is backed by @a16z @speedrun :) I spent the last 14 months in Korea and now I’m back in SF, where it all began. My entire career exists because of social media. From early NeurIPS papers, to working on ranking algorithms, and then building viral playbooks for startups. The thing I kept coming back to is: every company has no choice but to become a media company. To distribute. To get attention. That is the next generation of entrepreneur’s biggest challenge. That’s the next single person unicorn’s moat. Hotbox is built for that next gen entrepreneur. Businesses run entirely on social now. Hotbox is the sales infra for the social economy. more to come. sign up on our waitlist & lmk if you’ll be at the a16z speedrun demo day 🤫

@ad0rnai My dad?

I am hiring someone who is: - terminally offline - not in any group chats - has covered the curriculum of the great books program - idiosyncratic - slightly off-putting

@nazzari Get him a job bella!!!

Pretty iconic, someone hire this kid

@Duderichy Should’ve stayed quiet chief

I think my health insurance accidentally reimbursed me uhhhh like 10x what they were supposed to $210,000...

@RTorenberg021 @arlanr I was running here to tag you and here you are!!!

@arlanr I got you

can someone hop on a call with me and give me “getting an office in sf 101”? willing to pay up to $10k, but idk where people actually find offices because craigslist sucks

Realest shit I’ve ever seen

@TarlonKhoubyari @Alex_Rivero_S let me do your bracket I gotchu

Actually curious to see who really wants to win $5k all you have to do is have the best bracket

Glad we decided this was today

If you order doordash for the love of god turn your ringer on for the driver

I come back to Canada and tell my friends insane sf pricing lore and they’re in shock: - low income is $110k - a “starter home” is $1.4mm - a coffee is $8

2 years later this is the first time I’ve returned to sf from toronto and felt like this is home

This was quite possibly one of the most fascinating books I’ve ever read, and I’d encourage anyone with any interest in politics to read it
