To the Americans: I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States. And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness: You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence. This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns. Success is equated with exploitation. Ambition is looked upon with contempt. This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom. But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated. This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet. And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America: Thank God for the United States. Thank God for the wisdom of its founders. Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man. Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners. Long may your admirable country dominate the world. Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states. May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning. Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill. Thank God for the USA. Happy 250th. Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

🤯 Midjourney -- yes, the AI image company -- just shipped a brand new type of imaging machine. 🤯 - 100x faster than an MRI. - 10x cheaper. Full body scanned in 60 seconds instead of an hour in a tube. Ultrasound based, MRI-level resolution. And it's real -- not a concept, a working machine. You step into a shallow pool of warm water, a ring of half a million sensors sends sound through your body from every angle, and ~60 seconds later you have a 3D map of your insides down to a fraction of a millimeter. No radiation, no tube, no lying still. They're not even building it as a hospital machine -- they're building a spa. The scan is a side-effect of a place you'd want to hang out anyway. Lastly, it is built by 9 people. NINE PEOPLE. You can just do things.

NEW: The AI Filmmaker Outrunning Hollywood You may not know his name, but you’ve seen his work. LEGO helicopters rescuing an American fighter pilot in Iran; Marco Rubio adding frontier AI company CEO to his list of jobs; the ghost of Shinzo Abe saving Trump from ass*ssination... Meet filmmaker Charlie Curran (@charliebcurran) — the man who is singlehandedly outrunning Hollywood, entertaining millions with his AI-generated content and even building his own studio, all while the rest of the film industry panics over the technology. Unlike the “slop artists” Hollywood envisions taking their jobs, Charlie is devoted to the craft. He’s made movies for 20 years. Now, AI is just helping him scale his taste. “[AI] is how you get an artistic revolution,” he says. “Young voices making new kinds of stories that weren’t financially viable in the studio system.” Full profile from @eventidia 👇

When I was running technical interviews at Messari I told people to cheat: Google it, Go read the docs, Ask ChatGPT, ping a friend who knows the answer -- just screen share so I can see your thought process. The only thing I cared about was your ability to get a problem solved: Nobody ever took me up on the offer of literally pinging a friend lol, but I always thought that would've been sick. there's plenty of times in college and work i've relied on others to give me answers. That's not a bad thing, it says something meaningful about your social IQ and your ability to build a network of talented friends that can help you. Most of startup life is really just solving one problem after another. I want to hire people who'll take all the help they can get whether it be ChatGPT or other. As a leader ask yourself "do i really care how this problem gets solved, or just that it gets solved?". Build a team of problem solvers.

I have on good authority (my own) that the vast majority of top silicon valley VC firms hold $TAO .... and have for sometime. But they are too conservative to share that publicly.. which will change over time. Slowly, then all at once.
