Transforming a 16-floor tower into a vertical village for frontier-tech pioneers in San Francisco. The blueprint for an inter-city network society 🧑‍🚀

San Francisco, CA
The real reason founders move to SF isn’t the capital. It’s the hallway conversations. So we built a hallway. Launching @superherohotel: 6 floors in a historic 1920 Nob Hill building. 10-min walk from @frontiertower. Members have raised $150M. Events have pulled 70K. Sleep at the hotel. Build at the Tower. Come for 4 weeks. Ship, raise, break through 👇

Officially a Yc-company producer through @frontierheros 🫡 check them out!
Best of luck at @ycombinator demo day and it’s such an honor to have had you participate in Batch 0 of the @frontierheroes ! Huge part of building startups is story telling. I remember brainstorming the foundation of this story with @KimAdams during breakfast @Superherohotel and it’s so cool to see how it evolved! Love it and excited to be part of your journey!

True
founder tip if you’re building a web app right now, you need to start thinking about agents In 5 years nobody will care about your UI, all you will need to build is an api key and some files. everyone will have their own agent researching, buying, and building on top of these agentic layers. you need to build your app in a way that it can be used and navigated by an agent effortlessly just something to think about

We’re at @IcelandEclipse this week, talking about cross-disciplinary community and how we are building a permanent home for founders in San Francisco, with @Superherohotel as the landing pad. Inspired by pop-up city pioneers like @burningman, @zuvillage, @JoinEdgeCity - catch the talk by @katjayakov talking about what we are building with @frontierheroes 📷

What we want to create is a society of frontier tech aligned humans. How we gonna get there: - get awesome talent as members - get funded teams to build in the tower by providing them with space and network - Build incentives to follow processes to reduce entropy and manual work build community - Transform our community into a society - Expand and build partnerships with nation states to build cities with reduced red tape

Promising!
The world has identified verifiable AI as a missing civilization-scale primitive. The core technical obstacle, practical zero-knowledge proofs, was considered impossible. We solved it. Today, we are launching @attestable, the AI Integrity Company, and announcing a $20M seed round led by @jaminball at @AltimeterCap and @YonatanMandelba at @TLV_Partners , with participation from @HalcyonFutures, Cerca Partners, @Weiner_Lia at Netz, @nickymontanaa at Zero Knowledge Ventures, @assaf_rappaport, Asaf Ezra, Nadir Izrael, Jon Coller, Eyal Manor, @OmerPerchik.

I wonder how many founders still read their code base..
I'm officially done reading AI-generated code. It's been two weeks since I looked at any of it. I think the IDE is officially on its way to the graveyard. The job is no longer about "writing code," so we need new tools that better reflect this new reality. While reviewing the code, I realized my only complaints were stylistic, and I wasn't finding any obvious bugs anymore. The more code I generated, the harder it became to keep track of every line. I found that my time is better spent designing ways to verify that the overall system works than looking at the code. State-of-the-art coding agents are better at writing code than I'd ever be, and I'm going to stop pretending otherwise. I still think these coding agents can't go too far without an experienced human guiding them, but we're past the point where we need to check every line of code.

Is it possible to prove simulation theory right?
The Chinese just made a one billion agent simulation — and in 14 hours of running it, they’ve already sent 4m agents to re-education camps! 🥁 Seriously, we will soon be able to create an AI simulation of planet Earth in which the agents are conscious, believe they are human, and won't know they are in a simulation. Take from that what you will!

Did you know that after 60 minutes of inactivity Claude needs to reread your entire chat history?
If you left your coding agent alone for more than 1h, don't hit continue. Open a new session. Send the exact same message. While you're working, it costs 1x. After coffee, 1.3x. After a call, 1.6x. After lunch: 13x. The cache holding your session expires at exactly 60 minutes, and your first message has to rebuild the whole thing from scratch. A new session costs 4.5x. So before you walk away: "summarize where we are." After lunch, paste it into a fresh window. Measured across a month of my own Claude Code — 110 sessions, 46,580 turns.

@frontiertower in sf is the physical proof this is now a scene. 16 floors of a vertical village entirely dedicated to the people building this future, from biotech to crypto to network states. exit culture thrives there. we have to see it for ourselves.

Through much imagination, experimentation, successes, and failures were honored to be part of this movement to reshape how humanity lives and interacts towards a better future for all. Great thread, glad to be in it 👉
parallel societies aren't a thought experiment anymore. people are building alternate systems like cities, governance, money and treating "opt out" as a real thing. a thread on what's actually happening: 🧵

All frontier citizens should have a place like this 🤔
just came back from a retreat with the most amazing girls from @BiopunkLab ‘s Femhaus (first cohort of female builders in biotech) ☀️🩷

The future is open source
continuing my war on paid software that should be free, today's victim is: granola. quill gives you the same thing for free and completely private, just start recording and after you stop it, the entire audio gets transcribed into a default folder. completely open source as always
