The Canadians stay in the USA and raise more money The ones that stay in SF after demo day become unicorns at 2.5X the rate I had a pod dinner tonight and our whole row of founders I sat in turned out to be Canadians who are all going to base their startups in SF after demo day

@chamath Not just to the US either. There are a disproportionate number of Canadians running things in Europe and Asia too.

The biggest brain drain in the world is the one from Canada to the US. As a result, the biggest and most successful mafia in the world isn’t the PayPal Mafia in America but the ex-Canadian Mafia in the US. From Berkshire to SpaceX and many companies in between, there are so many of us, that have left Canada for the US to try our luck. If Canada would demonstrate even a small modicum of interest in being a meritocracy, many of us would have stayed.

- cuts crime to record low - cuts taxes, balances budget, lowers debt - cuts illegal immigration - enacts world's most selective legal immigration - quells Quebec separatism - makes Canada admired abroad - loses in landslide to far-left theatre kid What was Canada's problem? 🤔

I don’t know what is harder to believe, Snoop Dog giving up weed, or Sam getting sacked from Open AI.

In 10 words or less, why are LLM’s so powerful? Language encodes and compresses reasoning. Reasoning leads to emergent capabilities.

This one hit deep. So many of us arrived in Toronto as immigrants or the children of immigrants. Like @elonmusk, we all got our shot here. For this, we are all eternally grateful. Go beyond the cliches, and Canada is a platform for ideas and unbound potential.

1990. Photo taken in our rent-controlled Toronto apartment with my mom’s artwork on the wall. Elon’s first suit - $99 and included a shirt, tie and socks. I couldn’t afford a second suit, so he wore the same suit every day to work. I gave him a manicure. Memories… 😍

The latest on what I'm seeing / hearing this afternoon on the banking contagion, and what people are doing (and what I've mentioned to folks) Sorry for the all the threads, but so much to discuss! 🧵

The demise of #SVB caught many founders off guard. After enduring all of the struggle to raise venture capital and employ people, they now face the prospect of not making payroll next week because a top 20 bank they dealt with has ceased to exist.

Many of these founders struggled to take an idea to an investable stage, which doesn't make them rich but gives them the capital to employ people so that they can turn a concept into a viable, revenue-producing business.

It's a common misconception that the demise of #SVB only affects the tech elite, but this view is both misinformed and erroneous. 🧵👇🏽
