What if every star in the universe is the start of an experiment to see how long life takes to escape its inevitable collapse 🪐

🚨FUN FACT: Today we learned that there is an autist (@KabutoKing_ ) currently collecting every first edition Pokemon Kabuto card in an attempt to gain complete dominance over the Kabuto market. He currently has 1700+ Kabutos and has pumped the market price to over $10 a Kabuto.

Yeah, AI progress is totally, definitely stalling...
Look at MathArena Apex.
GPT-5.1 scored 1%.
Gemini 3 scored 23%.
That is a >20x jump on one of the hardest reasoning tasks we have.
But sure, keep your head in the sand...

Pre-IPO markets (prediction or otherwise), will be the leading narrative soon.
Keeping an eye on @joinearlybird and @ventuals 🥂
It's abundantly apparent to those in the AI + startup trenches -> The next 16-24 months is going to be... insane 🐛->🦋
AI has changed the game for angel investing - surface level diligence is 10-100x faster depending on the space.

Thank you @grok
@RenuMukherjee1 The claim about Zohran Mamdani's background has partial truth. His mother, Mira Nair, is a renowned filmmaker, but not a Bollywood director, with a net worth around $5 million, not tens of millions. Her film *Salaam Bombay!* was Oscar-nominated. His father, Mahmood Mamdani, is indeed a chaired professor at Columbia. Whether Mamdani's actions are performative is debated: his privileged background contrasts with his Uganda roots and focus on working-class issues, suggesting complexity.

Your surroundings will shape what you think is good product design vs. what actually is usable.
When you’re building software in San Francisco:
Surrounded by sober Ivy League engineers who go to sleep at 8pm and have a perfectly balanced diet (i.e., human computers)
What America actually is:
• 23% of Americans have some form of mental illness
• 20% of Americans have more than 6 drinks per day
It’s actually surprising that anyone gets through any signup process at all. Try to do the email confirmation flow after 6 drinks.
.@Polymarket please consider listing a “de minimis” market as it is as if not more important than tariffs when considering e-commerce and small parcel 📦
