WTF did Warren Buffett just post?!

@SahilBloom People still saying it’s too late, huh

WARNING: Longer post (but worth reading or bookmarking for later). There's no such thing as too late. A few days ago, I came across an old newspaper advice column from 2000: Dear Abby: I am a 36-year-old college dropout whose lifelong ambition was to be a physician. I have a very good job selling pharmaceutical supplies, but my heart is still in the practice of medicine. I do volunteer work at the local hospital on my time off, and people tell me I would have made a wonderful doctor. If I go back to college and get my degree, then go to medical school, do my internship and finally get into the actual practice of medicine, it will take me seven years! But, Abby, in seven years I will be 43 years old. What do you think? - Unfulfilled in Philly Dear Unfulfilled: And how old will you be in seven years if you don't go to medical school? Let that one sink in for a moment. That timeline in your head is your own creation. It forms from a young age. We look out at the world and use what we observe to sketch out a map of how our life is supposed to go. Social media highlight reels tell us how we stack up. What we should be doing. By when. And what we can’t possibly do now. It’s a form of inheritance. Not one we choose, but one we all get. So, we tie ourselves in knots, just like Unfulfilled in Philly. We know what we really want, but we’re too afraid to go all in. Because to go all in is to expose yourself to real failure. To be completely naked. But the harsh truth that Abby so elegantly highlighted is an important one: Time is unforgiving. It doesn’t care about you. It’s moving with or without you. Whether you choose to act…or not. Whether you live the way you want…or not. Time is just going to pass. How often do we all sit around waiting for someone else to come tap us into our own life? To give us permission to go and do the thing we want to do? Waiting for our own Dear Abby reply to tell us it’s ok. We’re not too late. We’re right on time. The real lesson here is recognizing that you don’t need any of that. You don’t need this post. You don’t need Dear Abby. You get to tap yourself in. You get to choose. You're not late. You're not early. You're exactly where your life has led you to be. And you get to decide where you go from here. So, that thing you want to do: How old will you be in ten years if you don’t do it?

@RobbieCrab That sounds good, but who defines what grounded means?

The more complicated the tech, the simpler the story must be. The bigger the potential outcome, the more grounded the story must be.

@RobbieCrab Narrative as strategy sounds powerful, but how do you measure it?

Interesting thing on narrative as a strategy is that historically narrative has always been what shapes society and creates reality. As a capital strategy is one that can be designed and executed on to create significant value creation. Takes real work but it pays off.

@iamshackelford Still can’t believe people actually subscribe anymore

The legend of newsletters just subbed 🥲

@TrungTPhan Idk why but that third act phrase sounds annoying as hell

Tom Cruise invited AMC employees to The Odyssey and kept uttering the phrase “that was so f*cking sick” for the film’s entire third act

@dickiebush That part about volume feels so true, I stalled too long

All personal development roads lead back to getting clear on what you want, starting before you feel ready, keeping at it when things feel hard, only comparing yourself to yourself, and doing way more volume than you originally thought was necessary.

@heyblake Opinions are nice but posting cool stuff consistently is hard

"How do I stand out as a founder on X/LI?" The answer is pretty boring: 1/ have opinions about your category that nobody else is saying 2/ build cool stuff and show it off often

@aleyda AI search won’t kill SEO, it just changes it fast

When someone says: “We don’t need SEO anymore. AI Search means SEO is dead.” …. Good luck. See you in a few months 😏

@businessbarista @ArmanHezarkhani @FoxBusiness @cvpane Per run being as expensive as frontier models is surprising

My co-founder @ArmanHezarkhani broke down Kimi K3 (new 2.8T parameter Chinese model) on @FoxBusiness today with @cvpane. We had our engineers testing it all day before he went on air. Here's the gist: 1) K3 is very good. As good, if not better, than many of the American frontier models. 2) The cost story is being misread. Everyone expects a Chinese model to be the cheap one. Per token, K3 is competitive. Per run (the actual job you outsource to the model), it's as expensive as the frontier models. But it's supposedly open source, so developers will attack the cost curve. Give it weeks, not quarters. 3) The playbook should look familiar. It's the same one China ran on solar panels & EVs: flood the market with cheap supply, wait for the addiction, then move the price. 4) The internet & the space race were funded by the US government, and innovators competed on top of the platform. AI got funded by private markets, and now the same companies that spent those trillions are getting hamstrung right as China gives its models away. 5) On guardrails: the bad guys will have completely unconstrained tools no matter what we do. Foreign adversaries, and bad actors here at home. If the good guys don't have equally powerful tools, only one side is armed. 6) Commoditized models are actually good news for the hyperscalers. All that open source intelligence has to run somewhere, and Google & AWS will get paid a lot of money to run it. 7) The labs saw this coming too. It's why Anthropic & OpenAI are racing up the application layer instead of just selling tokens.

@ShaanVP Uncorrelated sounds great but how do you test it?

Happy X payout day. Woke up to $40.8 from X today, small win but I’ll take it. How much did you get?

@thesamparr Curious if you mean the new chat stuff or tools

what are some of the cool things yall are doing with perplexity computer? f-ing around this weekend.

@wizofecom So what’s actually different after the 3 months?

We've spent years mastering the systems that turn a founder into a trusted name in their space on X and LinkedIn. Some have made millions off the back of it. Now we hand the entire system to you and guide you through installing it over three months. Learn more -> pbhq.mogulmedia.ca

@arvidkahl Which one though, and what tipped you over?

This is now my favorite conspiracy theory.

@mkobach What exactly makes it so far ahead for you?

Yes. It’s not even close. And it’s embarrassing to even ask. And yes, I’m biased. But that doesn’t make me wrong.

@arvidkahl That sponsorship sounds like life support, honestly

This resonates with me, from a small-time creator and big-time consumer perspective. A sponsorship literally kept me afloat while bootstrapping a very expensive business. Without it, things would look very different. Ads and sponsorships are part of how creators survive.
