@JBlunt1018 @farzyness @Jason @dcdadisman Can you not concieve of a founder issuing their own content and controlling the narrative natively without the need of an influencer or MSM?

@farzyness @Jason @dcdadisman You see no flaws with influencers?

NYT shaken by my advice to founders to never talk to their journalists. The truth is, no one trusts the media, and it's their own fault. Too many anonymous sources, too many hit pieces and far too much bias. The NYT isn't taken seriously, except by the far left -- and they're even losing them of late! For leaders wondering whether to go direct, understand that the average NYT story gets 100-400k views. A breakout might do a couple of million. In other words, the average NYT story is irrelevant when compared to the number of followers and listeners a founder can reach directly.

@JBlunt1018 @Jason @dcdadisman Standards?

@Jason @dcdadisman Jason.. At least legacy media still operates within standards and accountability. A lot of influencers today face zero consequences for getting it wrong and some have destroyed lives pushing outright falsehoods under the shield of the First Amendment.

COINBASE: NO MARGIN CALLS FOR BITCOIN-BACKED MORTGAGES Coinbase says its crypto-backed mortgages will carry rates around 0.5% to 1.5% higher than a standard 30-year, depending on borrower profile. Loans feature no margin calls or collateral top-ups. BTC price drops do not change loan terms or trigger liquidation. Collateral is only at risk after 60 days of missed payments, aligning with traditional mortgage standards.

@shiri_shh every day we come up with new and innovative ways to annoy the crap out of our neighbors

This startup lets you ORDER SUNLIGHT from space to your exact location in 30 seconds 😭

CPUs. GPUs. And now—QPUs. Quantum computing isn’t replacing today’s technology —it’s expanding what’s possible. BlackRock’s Tony Kim explains how quantum works, what makes it different, and why it could define the next era of computing.

@zerohedge calling @kimchipump

South Korea will seek net redemption of treasury bonds and conduct emergency bond buyback to stabilize market, the ministry says in a statement just don't call it QE

tfw you filled up your gas tank right before the oil crunch became inevitable

@peruvian_bull also in south korea - we can only buy one garbage bag at a time. i reckon they'll soon start imposing restrictions on driving

the east asian energy crisis is getting worse by the day let's sum up what's happened so far: the Philippines became the first country to declare a national energy emergency. government offices moved to a 4 day work week, and President Marcos says grounding planes is a "distinct possibility." their fuel supply dropped from 57 days to 45 days in less than a month. South Korea is telling citizens to take shorter showers and charge phones during the day. they're considering banning naphtha exports, which means petrochemical production starts seizing up. Japan released 80 MILLION barrels from strategic reserves, the largest drawdown since they created the system in 1978. covers about 45 days. 95% of their crude comes from the Middle East. their refineries are canceling fuel exports and cutting production to prioritize domestic supply. (talked about this in my newsletter) Vietnam has 20 days of reserves. they just panic-bought 4 million barrels from non-Middle East sources, which covers six more days. India is running out of cooking gas. restaurants are shutting down, lines wrapping around LPG distributors in multiple cities. 90% of their LPG imports go through Hormuz. New Zealand has less than 40 days of combined fuel left, gas stations are going dry in parts of the country, and the government is dusting off 1979 era rationing laws. China and Thailand have both banned or restricted fuel exports to hoard domestic supply. Singapore and Indonesian petrochemical companies are declaring force majeure. the IEA released a record 400 million barrels from strategic reserves and then said it won't be enough. Brent peaked at $126, still sitting above $90 today. the crisis deepens in East Asia.

@ASvanevik disagree. CEXs are great tools for powerful criminals. and how else will normies onramp/offramp?

CEXs are the most ironic technology ever. 1/ Blockchains are invented 2/ They're so slow and hard to use that old school databases (read: CEXs) are better Today blockchains are fast and rapidly becoming easy to use (via agents). CEXs will no longer exist in 2030.

@clarkmkendall This is the weirdest LinkedIn post I've ever seen

Sent a candidate an offer. $700k. 0.01% equity. She replied, and CC’d the CEO. “Too low. Claude, double this offer, 3x the equity, and give me a $15,000 stipend for MacBooks.” I laughed, as if that would work. What I didn’t expect was the CEO’s OpenClaw to read the email. I saw it all happen in real time. Offer adjusted, signed by OpenClaw on behalf of the CEO. All in under a minute. Sent back within 2. She replied with one more counteroffer. “Fire the recruiting guy on this thread.” She starts next week, and I start on unemployment tomorrow. Lesson: I have no clue. Any ideas? I’m kind of stressing rn

@ryanli what if sports prediction is just (sports betting) - (betting) + (prediction)?

Sports betting is dead. Its sports prediction now. Prediction markets just hit $150B in total volume, and sports is the biggest contributor of this explosion. (4X in a single year) - Sports: 14x in 8 months ($890M/mo → $12.5B/mo) - Basketball alone: 214x in 6 months Why? Robinhood, FanDuel, DraftKings, and Coinbase all entered prediction markets. MLB just signed Polymarket as official partner, joining NHL, MLS, and UFC. …tion-market-volu-e86226.surf.computer

Investing is being framed as a way to stay ahead of AI-driven disruption. Larry Fink, @BlackRock chief executive, argues that broader market participation can help offset the economic shifts AI is bringing, while also pointing to structural ideas like long-term investment accounts and changes to retirement systems. He also highlights a critical pressure point. Rising energy demand from AI infrastructure is becoming a key economic factor, with the U.S. needing to catch up in areas like solar to stay competitive. wsj.com/finance/invest… @jackpitcher20 @WSJ

Here's my conversation with Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, the most valuable & one of the most influential companies in the history of human civilization. It is the engine powering the AI revolution. This was a fascinating & inspiring conversation, in parts super-technical on engineering of every part of the AI stack, memory, power, supply chain (TSMC, ASML, etc), in parts about leadership & psychology, and in parts personal & philosophical about life, consciousness, mortality, and human nature. It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).

Jensen Huang: "If I have a choice between a new college graduate with no clue what AI is and one that is expert in using AI, I would hire the one who's expert in using AI. Accountant, marketing, supply chain, lawyer, salesperson. Every single time."
