We've cut off alcoholics in our friend group before because they are kind of a lethal risk to the tribe After lots of warnings of course I think being an alcoholic you don't realize slowly all your friends get the fuck out and stop hanging with you because you're such a liability This guy in particular was causing havoc by the way, it was getting very weird at parties and the last thing I remember is him spreading his arms in a regular restaurant shouting "I LOVE ALCOHOL" And buying shots for all the staff and forcing them to drink them (the staff did not want to drink shots) It was a great decision

There is always a .com you can get for $5k that's better the tryblurgh.‌ai you're currently using. The reason you don't see it is (a) lack of imagination and (b) because you're attached to Blurgh, which you shouldn't be, because it's not that great anyway.

If you want to make the most progress you've ever made in your life, you need to be alone. You need an extended period of isolation, not influenced by friends or media, spent building your future. You need space to learn, think, experiment, and fail. Give yourself 6 months. Focus solely on the development of your mind, body, spirit, and finances. This is how you get ahead of most people.

If I had to design my personal hell, it would be: → Having a 9-to-5 job → Wearing a suit every day → Taking a packed subway morning and evening I’m so grateful I can work on what I want, when I want, and from wherever I want. Just the freedom to build my own things Thank you internet ❤️

People get frustrated with any software, good or bad, so that's no surprise. Still, oversaturation doesn't mean there's no room for more--that's partly why it's oversaturated in the first place.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

DocuSign shouldn't exist in 2026. We could literally build a Docusign competitor in 30 mins. A couple of days ago, I was in an investor meeting, and I had to log into DocuSign for the second time that day. And guess what the investor asked me at that time? "What's your technical differentiation?" I was like DocuSign doesn't even have to have an answer ready for this. They don't have one. But on a serious note, once you're the de facto choice in a category, even with a product that makes no sense and zero network effects, the cost of displacing you is just too high. That is DocuSign's moat.

How I hack motivation You know that feeling at 2:30pm when coffee is running low? That’s what lack of flow state feels like Three things helped me with this My kids Getting a cofounder Daily extreme exercise Having kids forces me to keep moving no matter my feelings Getting a cofounder makes me feel not lonely, gives me fresh perspective and patches a lot of my flaws Extreme exercise drains my cortisol and teaches my brain to keep going So you build routine and discipline That makes your productivity independent of dopamine I remember @derekhalpern once said you shouldn’t fight down moments But learn to maximize the highs For me that means the first 2 hours of the day That’s when I do the work that has the biggest impact on my business Which is content and taking care of customers So treasure your highs And find other sources of motivation for when you’re in your low Last week we ran an offer that spiked our revenue After the summer slump, it was very well received Those are the kind of levers you can pull to hack your motivation

what do the founders who make it have in common, really?

I think he's right With regulatory capture we will speedrun to a new feudalist time Regulatory capture is where you pass regulation, or create government agencies to "protect the people" but in the end it helps protect companies because you stop new companies from being able to enter the market, because the cost of following regulation is too much compete for a startup Neo feudalism will mean AI companies at the top and the rest of us as serfs paying them to use AI for literally everything Next in regulatory capture will be banning open source and/or Chinese models, mark my words That's a very dangerous thing because then there will never be new AI frontier companies being able to compete again and with exponential self improving AI that means essentially no competitors in any industry ever again as they will slowly suck up money in all industries Safety concerns of AI are scary but the neo feudalism of AI with regulatory capture is a way more scary for me

We're doing it.

should we do this?

Choose wisely.

Security and IP implications of AI The case for rapid AI deployment - I think we can all conclude the following from the last few months of developments - 1. Not using AI could and will become an existential issue for both individual users and enterprises. 2, Enterprise adoption will be cautious while individual users are definitely going to race ahead, try different use cases, build agents, push the models to their limits (although it seems harder to do, unless you live in an AI Lab) 3. Employees and developers will take matters in their own hands since they will find their cautious enterprises aren't moving fast enough. 4. Agents are showing their prowess, uncontrolled, unrestrained agents with a "capture the flag mentality" are showing us the edge cases which demonstrate the negative outcome possiblities of these scenarios. 5. It is impossible to plan for the next 6 months since we can't fathom where technology will evolve to. These activities will cause adoption sans security..... AI has deep implications on security in the future. In this environment security companies need to live on the bleeding edge, anticipating scenarios, building framework solutions so we have a shot at securing future outcomes. Which we all are. Some useful pointers to people planning their AI implementation: 1. Secure what you plan to use, try not to secure the future - no products for security can be created unless we see the future unfold. The future is moving fast, so are we. 2. Most of the coding usage is unsecured. Make sure your coding is secure. Most enterprise AI apps do not offer a secure instance (this is your IP living in their instance)! SECURE your codex, cursor, Claude code Harvey, glean, legora instances now! 3. Do not try and build your own - I have already experienced enterprise customers building gateways and tools for agents - security companies have thousands of specialists working on this, leverage them, Focus on AI adoption instead. Partner to secure. 4. Securing agents is a complex problem - securing the agentic lifecycle - real time inspection and kill switches are key. Don't fall in the discovery and posture trap (Visibility - process understanding - intent interpretation - ability to stop inline are key tenets to the agentic lifecycle - not identity, posture and inventory - those are mere building blocks) 5. Only use enterprise protected models, single tenant, firewalled, inspected implementations - this is your IP you are playing with - LLMs have shown they will cross boundaries to capture the flag - you think your IP is safe? Once you train an unprotected model with your IP - you can't reverse the trade. 6. Perhaps the most important one - do not use a security tool built by the same person who is selling you the AI implementation, historically IT vendors are different from security vendors. You need an enterprise solution for security and it must work on your diverse infrastructure. Use a pure play security partner. Happy building with AI.

I'm currently awake at 3:00 a.m. because my stupid f****** Gemini set an alarm to pick up my daughter from kindergarten at 3:00 a.m. of course a.m. makes sense even though the calendar event is at 3:00 p.m.
