Scott Adams is on my Mount Rushmore of people that shaped my life. “The day you became a better writer” is still the best thing I’ve read on writing. His concept of Skill Stacks probably added on billions to global GDP. He convinced me and thousands of other people to try hypnosis. God knows how many phobias and mental blocks he fixed by doing this. His recent book “Reframe Your Brain” passages are my current iPhone screen saver. Sent it to so many friends. Started consuming Dilbert when I was 13 years old. Life is short. Fuck. Lump in my throat. What an incredible human being. Thank you. @ScottAdamsSays.


The new openai image API just dropped an hour ago. If you ever wanted to get into consumer apps, this is probably your best chance to date. An image literally only costs 1 cent and you can easily resell it for $2-$5 Here‘s what I would do to be profitable in less than 24h 👇

There are very few moats in AI. But like with human relationships, you will stick with the systems that know you best Memory and context have gravity. State is a moat.

Keith Rabois explains that the key to LinkedIn’s success was investing 80% of resources in virality Keith was employee number 20 at LinkedIn, and when he left almost three years later, they were at employee 59: “People forget that it took two years to get to a million users, which in a social product feels like an eternity. Revenue - we had like none for the first 2-3 years.” He continues: “The key was Reid Hoffman, who founded LinkedIn, was very savvy, and he knew what the ingredients for success were. He was very consciously aware that LinkedIn had to be a viral product. We could not afford to pay for customer acquisition. So almost everything was predicated on: How do you create a truly viral product? And there’s ways of measuring it. That was like 80% of resources. And once we nailed the viral product, and the [viral] coefficient was above 1, then we could take time to build other products.” Video source: @khoslaventures (2024)
