Most fintech writing is dry. Most AI writing is hype. I write the overlap: how startups, AI and money actually work. The incentives. The broken systems. The crazy companies. Plainly. Opinionated. India-aware. Follow along if that's your kind of thing. #fintech #ai #surispeaks

@alifarhat79 Hockey stick growth

This is not Bitcoin, Ethereum or even a shitcoin. It’s the U.S. National debt

🚨 Apple overtakes Nvidia to become the world's most valuable company.

@claudeai If you need an example of how competition is good for the industry overall, then this is a good example. If not for OpenAI, GLM 5.2, Kimi - Anthropic would never have made Fable 5 generally available.

Beginning July 20, Claude Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans, at 50% of limits. Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit. Demand for Fable has been challenging to predict, which is why we rolled it out to subscription plans in stages, extending access several times as we secured additional capacity.

@WatcherGuru I know they don't really have to repay it. But don't they ever have to repay it?

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US national debt officially reaches all-time high of $39.5 trillion.

@Barchart Seems like this is on the cards for the US

BREAKING 🚨: U.S. Housing Market Home Sellers now outnumber Buyers by 630,000, the largest gap ever recorded 🤯👀

"Learn to code." With AI.

@peer_rich How to sell into them? A lot of education needs to go in first. Only then can someone talk about technology with these folks.

everyone is building ai for tech companies but theres a massive opportunity in the boring stuff (still) government offices still running internet explorer clinics with phone systems from 1998 logistics companies with spreadsheet-based operations the market is enormous and almost nobody is in it

APPLE SURPASSES NVIDIA TO BECOME WORLD'S MOST VALUABLE COMPANY $AAPL $NVDA

JUST IN - Apple overtakes Nvidia to become the world's richest company. Apple last valued $4.88 trillion, while Nvidia was at $4.86 trillion — Reuters

@Kalshi It sure would be in the name of AI. Didn't they report record profits?

JUST IN: Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley cut more than 10,000 employees in Q2 — biggest drop since 2020.

A long Claude chat is a meter. The longer you leave it running, the faster it spins. Here's why, and the one habit that fixes it. #claude #tokens @claudeai @AnthropicAI

@Kalshi I am actually interested what happens next? Will Korea become investable for retail folks? @grok what's your take?

JUST IN: 1.2 million Koreans have been hit with "margin calls" this past week

@unusual_whales The number will be higher. These are common questions which every user will ask the chatbot. For one reason or the other

Nearly 1 in 5 adolescents and young adults have used AI chatbots for advice or help when they felt upset, nervous or anxious, per CNN

@IndianTechGuide It's banned already. What's this PIL talking about differently?

🚨 The Supreme Court of India dismissed a PIL seeking a nationwide ban on viewing pornography in India.

@HedgieMarkets They make great PPTs.

🦔SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son said AI will require $5 trillion per year in investment by 2040 and called bubble talk "absurd." He predicted AI data centers will need 3 terawatts of power, which is 1.8 times current global electricity consumption. He said AI revenue will hit 20% of global GDP by 2040 and didn't explain how he arrived at either number. SoftBank has poured over $60 billion into OpenAI alone. S&P downgraded SoftBank's outlook to negative in March, specifically citing the OpenAI concentration risk. My Take This is the same guy who gave Adam Neumann $4 billion for WeWork. He lost more money than anyone when the dot-com bubble burst. And now he's calling people stupid for asking whether the AI buildout is a bubble while his own credit rating is getting downgraded because of how much he's put into a single unprofitable company. S&P explicitly said the OpenAI investment is worsening SoftBank's key financial metrics. Son's response was to go on stage and promise $5 trillion a year through 2040. His "20% of global GDP" number is the entire foundation of the argument and he offered zero explanation for how he got there. Current global GDP is roughly $110 trillion. He's saying AI will generate $22 trillion in annual revenue by 2040, which would make it larger than the entire US economy. That's the assumption required to make $5 trillion a year in spending look like "a rounding error." He also said AI data centers will need 1.8 times current global power consumption and that nuclear fusion will solve it. Fusion doesn't exist commercially. He's building a financial argument on top of a technology that hasn't been invented yet to justify investments that are already dragging his credit rating down today. Hedgie🤗

@nikitabier Thanks much needed. All my posts are getting copied

Some updates on the creator rev share program: 1. Soliciting engagements (“I’ll follow everyone who replies”) 3 or more times will results in removal from the program and your account will be forwarded to the policy team for suspension. Grok now catches all of these. Nearly 4000 accounts were removed from the program today. 2. Our new model now detects duplicated content at 3x the rate of the previous model. Adding watermarks, intros and other edits will send monetized impressions to the original uploader. This also includes copying viral text posts (most common one: “Twitter is like the smoking section of the internet”). We detected 1.5 million posts that were stolen this cycle. Repeated or intentional circumvention will lead to removal from the program. With these changes, over $1 million will be given back to original content creators.

@paularambles I have a feeling this post was written as a parody cause this is the first time I have read such an atrocious concept.

You see, what fascinates me about “remember to not smile” is that he needs his pain to be witnessed. He suffers at 4am, okay, fine, many people suffer. But then, immediately, he makes a slide! He gathers the entire company! He writes an article! Is it not clear what is happening here? Suffering without an audience simply does not count. This is ideology at its purest. We see here the old Protestant trick in its Silicon Valley form: success alone is vulgar, almost pornographic. My god, you cannot simply succeed. It must first be purified through unnecessary suffering. So you get this obscene reversal where pain stops being a cost of the product, and instead becomes the product itself. The developer documentation is, how do you say, merely the byproduct, the excrement of the true production, which is the suffering. As Hegel already knew, and here I think even Lacan would agree, although perhaps not, the true obsession is always with deserving success. Here I must tell you this old joke from Soviet Union. A worker says: "we pretend to work, they pretend to pay us.” Now here it is inverted, which I claim is much worse. They are paid perfectly well, wonderfully well, and so they must pretend to suffer. Do you see the perfect madness of this? And now, the ultimate obscenity. Imagine the company succeeds while everyone leaves at 5pm. Catastrophe! Total ontological catastrophe! In this worldview, I am tempted to say, failure would almost come as a relief. Failure means you simply did not suffer enough, go back, suffer more. But success at 5pm? This cannot be explained. So when he says "remember to not smile," this is a desperate command of the superego. If you smile, we will all discover the pain was never necessary.

@MohapatraHemant Set up email agent to respond to lifeless AI pitches. Agent to agent interaction at its best benefiting no one. Oh what an ideal world!

I get around 300-400 cold pitches over email a month and yes, it's getting a bit overwhelming. Almost 90% of those are very clearly AI generated. I'm not against a really good AI heavy pitch but today 100% of those I can't even read beyond the first para. Takes too long to get to the point. Pretends to story-tell but falls flat. Adds incorrect context about me. Founders: if you can't imbibe your sense of ambition, taste, precision & clarity of thinking into AI, just do yourself a favour and write things down manually and copy paste to 100+ VCs if that's what you need to do. You'll get much better responses that way.

@unusual_whales The older you are, the lesser you want to stay at home. Correlation is not causation.

Full days employees worked from home per week, by CEO age, per WSJ:

@handotdev Oh brother take care. Please reach out to someone you know for a drink or something.
