A gem from our documentary interview with @DStrachman: “Permission is an infinitely scalable resource. If you can’t help a person with money, you can gift them permission” 🪄 During her time on the @thielfellowship’s founding team and currently as co-founder of @1517 fund, she’s
With the incredible and formidable @DStrachman helping an exciting new project come to life @lindazhangau Permission granted!!
Existential hope is one of my favorite ideas. Mitigating risk is important but if we don't have a vision for something better we will steer into our fear.
It’s 2035, and AI has gone well. What could a normal day in your life look like? Most popular AI futures are dystopias. Almost no one takes the time to seriously and vividly imagine a future that's actually worth building. So we made a short film following one day in the life
@sigdel29 Basically my actual reaction.
When you're forced to join Slack because Claude doesn't support Signal yet. The resistance is real.

@josiezayner Oh nice...I have a few bird feeders and stupidly I put them in reach of the cats...so my cats are getting fed birds sometimes.
Just found a gem of a website "Technology-Driven Moral Panics" or how societies all the way back to Ancient Greece worried about new inventions dooming humanity
How to raise $ 100k-1M from @1517fund: had a call with @DStrachman Founder 1517 and Ex-Partner @thielfellowship According to her: - they want to work with founders/makers who can get them in the frontier of knowledge - founders should have hyperfluency in their domain. I really liked the concept of "alchemy". Some founders take a resource and stretch it in a magical way. That's what they want to see. Comment for the entire notes :)
Commenda Manifesto launched! Let liberty ring! "When a merchant in thirteenth-century Venice wanted to trade across the Mediterranean, he signed a commenda — a private contract that split the risk between an investor and the merchant who sailed, and held up wherever the ship made port. It was not issued by a king. No parliament approved it. Merchants wrote it because it was machinery for their economic freedom. This was the precursor to the modern corporation."
Announcing our manifesto, Lex et Libertas. The history of commerce is a history of The People writing their own rules. When a merchant in thirteenth-century Venice wanted to trade across the Mediterranean, he signed a commenda — a private contract that split the risk between an

If "not f*cking around" was a dog
on my flight to san francisco i sat next to a 78 year old man. travelling alone. no wife, no children. flying out for a parkinson's research test. he told me his wife passed away last year. but before she died, someone else had volunteered for the research program. that person's contribution led to a treatment that gave him five extra years with his wife. five years he wasn't supposed to have. now he was doing the same thing. giving himself to the research so someone else might get five more years too. he said it like it was obvious. like there was no other option. i've been thinking about that conversation since i landed. what it looks like to give yourself fully to something knowing you'll never see the result.
@DStrachman You loved nuclear batteries before it was cool to love nuclear batteries.
Nuclear batteries anyone? 1517 was the first check, don’t be the last!
Beginning today, we are industrializing nuclear battery production at the historic Vallecitos Nuclear Center. With this facility, we will deliver our first nuclear battery to customers in 2027 and scale production in 2028 - powering critical missions from the seabed to the lunar
