turns out people love to see their friends on this app

Shark Tank is dead. no one has 2 hours to watch a fake, cinematic, scripted drama. we just fixed that. introducing... The Buzzer 🔴 1 founder. 1 investor. 5-minutes speed date. every time the set turns red, either one can reject the other and get a new match (yes... founders can reject investors too LOL) if they both survive the 5 minutes, it's a match. and they get a private second date. it's entertaining. it's educational. and it's actually very fun to watch. this is the new Shark Tank. and it's called The Buzzer 🔴 enjoy! 🍿 (and shoutout to CUT for the inspiration, and to @compai for sponsoring this episode 💚)




the other cultural equivalent of this is ppl buying bitcoin in 2011. what did these individuals know? & how did they predict the future so so well? if you find a person in this tweet category, you should treat them as your osho.



A kid will quit a math app in 6 minutes, but grind Factorio for 6 hours. The math app has more points, badges, and streaks. Factorio has none.

I see a LOT of debate about the Alpha Schools decision to put kids on devices two hours a day. Yet very little debate about the decision of most US schools to run with more than 2 hrs as the norm. From a 2021 EdWeek survey:


A few weeks ago we packed 15 families - 29 parents & their collective 37 kids - into a giant 18-bedroom house in Tahoe, and hosted a super fun "un-conference" style retreat/gathering. very casual... social thing. run with/for friends. But thanks to an epic support crew of nannies and @Alphaschool guides, all were able to participate- most facilitate a session of some kind.. some personal, some professional, some family subjects, e.g - "building a company with your spouse" ft @clairevo & @elawless, @hsambhi & @rosie_chopra + others - @jessegenet on running her homeschool + household with local AI agents (including live appearances from the kids) -@mbateman and @nateliason on "how to start a school" - @adamgries on longevity & AI, how to live forever - @Gena_I_Gorlin on the psychology of ambition - plus "building connection" for busy married couples. - - @immad's philosophical takes on "what is money" - and raising kids to have positive relationships with it. - - @ketau on “when agents spend more than humans” / future biz models + ad supported AI - @ellenvoramd and @vimalspot on "Modern Spirituality" - building spiritual families, deep dive from Ellen on "the Anatomy of Anxiety" - also - @TomHacohen on Privacy, security, AI & and the internet; @Alicebentinck on how to spot talent, @petergyang on building distribution; life on the road and cultural immersion with @rieglobe, @abatalion & others. This was round two — first was back in 2023. Probably not going to wait three years to do it again. Maybe east coast later this year? 👀
