This is the only acceptable use of Ai

This guy used AI to put himself in Game of Thrones and fix everything

@dafacto Also built on top of shaky assumptions at best

The modern AI-forward organization:
- Every memo is 5x longer than it needs to be, and appears to be authored by the same person.
- At least one of the words shape, surface, and load-bearing appear in every paragraph.

Europe is not losing to the US because it lacks engineers, capital or universities. It is losing because every layer of its system rewards the gatekeeper and punishes the builder.
In medicine I see it weekly. A primary care AI that triages, documents and flags risk gets deployed in months in the US and runs into a years long compliance maze in Europe. By the time the European version is approved, the American one has been retrained twice and is cheaper.
In energy it is worse. Spain ran 60 percent of April on clean power, then keeps shutting down nuclear plants that work. France stays stable on its grid. Germany burns lignite to compensate for a political decision made in 2011. Industry quietly leaves.
In capital markets, an EU founder still raises across 27 fragmented systems while a Texan founder raises once and sells across a continent.
None of this is about culture. It is about rules. The continent that gave the world Pasteur, Fleming and Marie Curie is now the one that consults itself to death while others ship.
If Europe wants to matter in 2030, it needs less harmonization theater and more permissionless building. Otherwise the talent will keep voting with its feet, and the speeches in Brussels will keep arriving on time.

@vasuman Honestly Docuseal is much easier to use than Docusign. Not an open source bs
English
In my experience there’s no better way to destroy your credibility than to use cheap knockoffs of popular software
If you send a client a Docusign link you at least appear to have a real business
If you send them something else they immediately just assume you’re broke
Also if your company has 10 people who need to send the maximum amount of documents, you’re probably making many millions
To the aspiring b2b founders reading this, don’t cheap out on any client facing part of your stack
Anyone telling you otherwise has not played this game seriously before

DocuSign Personal: $10 to $15 per month. DocuSign Standard: $25 to $45 per user per month. DocuSign Business Pro: $40 to $65 per user per month. A 10-person team on Business Pro pays $4,800 to $7,800 a year. To put signatures on PDFs. A team of 50 pays $24,000 to $39,000 a year. And there is a 100-envelopes-per-year cap on most plans. Send more contracts and you pay extra. Need SMS delivery? $0.40 per send. Need ID verification? $2.50 per attempt. Need premium support? $5,000 to $50,000 per year add-on. You are rationing digital signatures in 2026. DocuSign is a $10 billion company built entirely on this pricing model. Now meet DocuSeal. A free and open source alternative to DocuSign. Created in 2023 by a Ruby developer named Alex who was simply trying to sign one document and realised every solution online was overpriced or required a subscription. Three weeks later he had a working alternative. He pushed it to GitHub under the AGPL-3.0 license. Today it has 11,800+ stars and over 1,000 forks. Bootstrapped. No VCs. No paywalls. Here is what DocuSeal does: - Upload any PDF and turn it into a fillable, signable form - Drag and drop signature fields, dates, checkboxes, file uploads, and 13 field types - Send to multiple signers with custom signing order - Automated email reminders - Mobile signing on any device - PDF signature verification built in - Audit trail for every document - Bulk send and templates - Full API access - Self-host with one Docker command Here is what DocuSeal costs: Zero. Forever. Unlimited documents. Unlimited signers. Unlimited storage. DocuSign limits envelopes. DocuSeal doesn't. DocuSign charges per SMS. DocuSeal doesn't. DocuSign charges for ID checks. DocuSeal doesn't. DocuSign sees your contracts on their servers. DocuSeal doesn't. Here is the wildest part: The median DocuSign contract per Vendr is $17,250 per year. One Reddit thread has people saying "they want me to pay $4.80 per e-signature." Self-host DocuSeal on a $5 cloud server and a 50-person team can sign as many contracts as they want without paying a single dollar. Your contracts never leave your server. Your client lists. Your NDAs. Your employment agreements. None of it touches a third-party company. For individuals who only sign a few contracts a year, you save $180. For small teams of 10, you save up to $7,800 a year. For a 50-person company, you save up to $39,000 a year. Your documents. Your signatures. Your server. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

@shellenberger @RyanHoliday @IvankaTrump I used to love his work until I saw him at a talk in London where after preaching the four virtues he unleashed a rant about Trump and Elon. And even said something along the lines "I'm told I shouldn't offend half of my audience but I don't care"
English
Stoicism values humility, emotional control, and loyalty to family. And yet America's leading popularizer of it, @RyanHoliday, displays none of those qualities in his angry, TDS-fueled condemnation of @IvankaTrump. He displays an arrogance every wisdom tradition warns against.

New York mayor, Zohan Mamdani, proposed a 9.5% property tax increase to plug a $5.4 billion gap.
Why the gap?
People are leaving.
And not just anyone, high earners. The people who were paying a big chunk of the bills.
For years, the promise was more services, more support, more “free” everything.
But nothing is free. Someone always pays.
When the people who contribute the most start to leave, the maths breaks.
The costs don’t disappear, they get pushed onto everyone else.
That’s what we’re seeing play out now.

.@TaylorLorenz on the proposed phone ban in England: "You don't need a law to do that."
"To have a law that police officers in schools are enforcing and basically stop and frisking kids for potentially having a cell phone is deranged."
"Our entire world runs with the phone."
"To take it away from students and not teach them boundaries and not teach them the skills that they should learn when they're young... moderation, how to resist being on your phone 24/7... you have to teach them those skills."

Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone.
No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum.
Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too.
Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund.
It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital.
And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee.

Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital.
Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring.
But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line.
This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in.
Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition.
But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital.
USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages.
It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere.
There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction.
USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid.

Neuralink enables those who have lost the ability to speak to speak again
Katie Pavlich@KatiePavlich
Last night I spoke with Brad Smith @ALScyborg, the first person with ALS to have @neuralink implanted. He has his voice back through AI and can even make dad jokes again. Absolutely incredible technology changing lives and bettering humanity. Thank you @elonmusk!

True. If people understood this, their obsession with billionaires wouldn't make sense.
David Senra@davidsenra
"Capitalism created the possibility of the win win win. It used to be a zero sum game where somebody won, somebody else lost. The biggest mistake people make, intellectuals in particular, they still think we're in a zero sum world. They're obsessed with some billionaires because Bernie Sanders thinks that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk somehow stole the money from the people. They don't understand that it's this prosperity machine that's creating more, not just for those billionaires, but for everything that they're touching. They're creating value for their customers, they're creating value for their employees. Their suppliers are flourishing, their investors are seeing their capital go up. It can be reinvested and compound. All philanthropy ultimately comes from business. That's where the profits are. Where does all the taxes come from? It ultimately comes from business as well. This is the engine that's lifting humanity out. The entrepreneurs are the drivers of that engine. Somebody like Elon Musk, he gets a very, very, very tiny sliver of the value that he creates for the whole world." — @iamjohnmackey
