I just got back from SF and I FEEL INSPIRED. I spent 5 days with frontier AI model teams, AI startup founders, and 3 billionaires. My takeaways: 1. I had lunch with 3 billionaires. All of them are buying SaaS companies and rebuilding them agent-first. They were deeply inspired by Bending Spoons and Ryan Cohen's eBay deal. Buy the company, cut the headcount, rebuild the tech, add agents, add features, make more valuable experience, raise prices. 2. The frontier model companies are hungry for usage data from the field. They can see API calls and token counts. They can't see the actual workflows. If you're deep in a niche using these models in ways the model companies haven't seen, that understanding is incredibly valuable. Usage intelligence is the new alpha. 3. Consumer AI is massively underbuilt. Every billboard in SF is either B2B inference infrastructure or vertical agent companies. The entire city is optimized for enterprise. Meanwhile you have companies like Cal AI doing $50M ARR in 18 months as a consumer app. I met with a cool few teams doing consumer AI (@paulscherer / @ekuyda) 4. MCP came up in literally every conversation. The companies exposing their product as MCP endpoints are getting pulled into deals they never pitched for. The ones that aren't are becoming invisible to agents. This is the new SEO. If agents can't find you, you don't exist. Building products for agents is the new zeitgeist in general. 5. Not uncommon for hot seed rounds to be $25-50 million valuations. I saw a Series A at $450 million 6. If I had a dollar every time someone mentioned "forward-deployed engineer" this trip I could have funded a seed round. It's the hottest role in SF right now. The person who sits between the agent and the customer, making sure everything actually works. 7. The mood around open source shifted. A year ago it felt like open source was chasing the frontier models. Now founders are telling me Gemma and DeepSeek are good enough for 80% of what they need at a fraction of the cost. The "which model do you use" conversation is being replaced by "which model for which task." Model loyalty kinda feels dead. 8. Voice agents came up more than I expected. Multiple founders told me voice is the interface for the next billion users. The billion people who will never type a prompt will absolutely talk to one. 9. The Obsidian community in SF is weirdly intense. Multiple founders showed me their vaults unprompted. Like showing someone your home gym. It's a flex now. The quality of your knowledge base (second brain?) is becoming a status symbol among builders. 10. Maybe it was just the people I met but the age of the founders is shifting. I met more founders over 40 this trip than any trip before and more founders under age 21 than ever before. Founders getting older and younger at the same time. 11. I spoke to a lot of fast-growing startups, VCs and frontier models who are hiring content creators right now. 12. The restaurant scene in SF is actually better than it's been in years. Founders are going out more. Alcohol is out, not surprisingly. 13. SF doesn't feel like the only place anymore. We all have access to the same frontier models. We all read the same X feed. A founder in NYC or Lagos is calling the same APIs as a founder in SoMa. So in the past it felt like SF was always lightyears ahead, doesn't feel that way anymore. It's okay not to live in SF and have BIG DREAMS. 14. The coworking spaces in SF are half empty but the coffee shops are packed. People want to be around people. I had a few startup ideas here.... 15. Walking around the Mission I noticed something: the street-level businesses, the taquerias, the barbershops, the laundromats, none of them use any AI at all. 16. I heard the phrase "agent debt" for the first time. Like technical debt but for agents. When you hack together an agent workflow fast and never clean it up, the system prompts conflict, the memory gets polluted, the tools overlap. 6 months later the agent is doing weird things and nobody knows why lol. 17. Met a few people who carry two phones now. One for personal. One that's basically an agent terminal running Telegram or iMessage connections to their agent fleet. It's always amazing to get that dose of inspiration in SF. I FEEL INSPIRED. But I'm so happy to be back home, locked in and building. We're 12-18 months into a shift that will take 15 years to play out. The urgency in every conversation was real. What an incredible time to be building.

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality. There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it! I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America. OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.

SOMETHING IS HAPPENING ACROSS THIS PLANET THAT THE NEWS WILL NEVER COVER. PEOPLE ARE LEAVING. NOT MOVING TO A DIFFERENT CITY. NOT CHANGING JOBS. LEAVING THE SYSTEM ENTIRELY. AND BUILDING SOMETHING THE SYSTEM CANNOT REACH. Right now on every continent human beings are acquiring land. Learning to grow food. Collecting rainwater. Generating their own energy. Finding each other deliberately and building communities around shared values instead of shared zip codes. It is happening in Kentucky and Costa Rica and Portugal and Thailand and South Africa and New Zealand. Canada the USA and the rest of the globe. Quietly. Simultaneously. Without coordination. As if something is calling them all at once. This is what the new earth actually looks like. Not a political movement. Not a protest. Not a petition. Families waking up before dawn to tend gardens that feed them. Children growing up knowing where food comes from and how to grow more of it. Elders passing knowledge that the industrial age tried to make obsolete. Communities making decisions together around fire instead of through screens. Within a generation the landscape of human life will look unrecognizable. Not because of government policy or technological breakthrough. Because enough individuals made the same quiet decision I will not participate in a system that requires my dependency to function. History has always been changed by the ones who stopped asking permission and started building. The children being born into these communities will never know what it means to wonder where their food comes from. They will never know what it means to trade their hours for a number in an account controlled by people they never chose. They will never know the specific loneliness of living surrounded by people and having no one who actually knows them. They will grow up sovereign. And they will build a world that reflects it. The system is not being defeated. It is being made irrelevant. You cannot sustain a control structure over people who do not need what you are offering. You cannot keep a population dependent that has learned to provide for itself. The new earth is not coming after the collapse. It is being built during it. somewhere right now someone just bought their first seed packet. someone just made an offer on land they will never mortgage their soul to own. someone just said out loud for the first time I am done. and the world quietly became a little less controllable. join them. 🌿

Elon Musk just put the entire university system on trial. Not the curriculum. Not the professors. The premise. Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.” For a thousand years, universities held one monopoly. Access. You paid the toll or you stayed ignorant. The internet erased that in a decade. Every lecture. Every framework. Every textbook. Free. From any screen on Earth. The six-figure tuition is no longer buying knowledge. It is buying a signal. Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.” That is the product. Not intelligence. Not creativity. Not vision. Compliance. You are paying $200,000 to prove you can tolerate bureaucracy on a schedule. Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.” The entire system is a sorting machine for corporate HR. It does not measure what you can build. It measures whether you can sit still, follow directions, and deliver on command. Four years of obedience dressed as education. Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.” The system optimizes for average. It rewards the compliant. It certifies the patient. It quietly filters out everyone who refuses to wait for permission. The ones who reshaped the modern world never finished the test. Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.” They did not drop out because it was too hard. They dropped out because the speed limit was too low. The most dangerous thing a university does is convince a generational talent that finishing the syllabus is the achievement. It is not. It is the floor. A degree is a receipt for compliance. The future has never belonged to people who finish their homework. It belongs to the ones who never needed the assignment.

@Jason Spot on—AGI will unlock cheap energy, education, food, homes & longevity. But centralization risks concentrating gains for a few while millions scramble. The real path to broad abundance? Decentralized co-creation + co-ownership via AI + crypto + robotics. Run nodes or contribute to Bittensor (TAO) for open intelligence, Render/Akash for decentralized compute, ASI Alliance for autonomous agents. Join DAOs, stake in DePIN robotics swarms. Everyone becomes a builder/owner. Build bottom-up now—don't wait for top-down "solutions." Abundance for all, not just the obsessed. Humans adapt best when we own the tools. 🚀

Mass drivers on the Moon!

Everyone is covering Terafab as a chip factory. It is not a chip factory. Last night in Austin, Elon unveiled a facility that makes masks, fabricates chips, and tests them inside a single building with a nine-month recursive improvement cadence. No such loop exists anywhere else on Earth. Then he told you 80% of the output goes to space. Then he showed you a 100-kilowatt AI satellite with solar panels and radiators, scaling to megawatt range. Then he said Optimus plus photovoltaics will be the first von Neumann probe, a machine capable of replicating itself from raw materials found in space. Nobody connected the sequence. Terafab produces 1 terawatt per year of compute. The entire United States consumes 0.5 terawatts of electricity. Musk is building a single factory whose output in AI silicon exceeds twice the power consumption of the country it sits in. And he is sending 80% of it off-planet because Earth literally cannot power what he is building. Follow the mechanism. Terafab seeds the chips. Starship launches Optimus robots and solar arrays at 100 million tons per year. The robots mine lunar and asteroid regolith for silicon, iron, and nickel. They 3D-print more robots. They fabricate more solar panels. They assemble more AI satellites. Each satellite runs hotter-burning D3 chips designed specifically for vacuum, where free radiative cooling eliminates the thermal constraints that strangle every terrestrial data center on the planet. The nodes replicate. The replication is exponential. This is a Dyson Swarm bootstrap hidden inside a semiconductor announcement. The math is public. The Sun outputs 3.828 times 10 to the 26th watts. A 2022 paper in Physica Scripta calculated that 5.5 billion satellites at 290 kilograms each, robotically manufactured from Mars resources, capture enough solar energy to meet all of Earth’s power needs within 50 years. A 2025 paper in Solar Energy Materials calculated a partial swarm capturing 4% of solar output yields 15.6 yottawatts, roughly a billion times current human civilization’s total energy budget. Musk just announced the factory that builds the chips that go inside the satellites that replicate themselves forever. 92% of advanced logic chips are fabricated in Taiwan. One factory in Austin does not fix that. But one self-replicating system seeded by that factory, launched by the only company with reusable heavy-lift rockets, assembled by the only humanoid robot in mass production, and powered by the only star within reach, does not fix a supply chain. It obsoletes the concept of supply chains entirely. The market priced this as a $20 billion capex story about semiconductor independence. The actual announcement was the engineering blueprint for Kardashev Type II. Humanity sits at 0.73 on the Kardashev scale. 18 terawatts. The distance between here and harnessing a star is not a technology gap. It is a recursion gap. And recursion is exactly what a single building in Austin that makes its own masks, builds its own chips, tests its own chips, and launches the output into orbit on its own rockets was designed to close. Every civilization that makes it past this point never looks back.

Elon Musk just revealed the endgame for Tesla. It has nothing to do with cars. Musk: “In 20 years, I’d say Tesla’s got factories on the moon. Actually.” Not a metaphor. Not corporate ambition theater. A 20-year manufacturing roadmap that ends with industrial infrastructure on another world. Let the full weight of that sentence land. Not a research outpost. Not a flag. Factories. Production. The permanent industrialization of space beginning within a single generation. Most people are debating Tesla’s quarterly delivery numbers. Musk is planning the first off-world manufacturing economy in human history. That gap between what the market is focused on and what he is actually building is the entire investment thesis. But this isn’t just an investment story. It’s a civilizational one. Off-world manufacturing changes everything it touches. Materials science. Energy production. Supply chains. The resource constraints that cap every industry on earth disappear the moment production escapes the planet. The metals. The rare earth elements. The energy. The physical space. All of it becomes unlimited. Every industry built on the assumption of finite terrestrial resources gets restructured from the foundation up. Musk: “If you say like, I think 5 years to 10 years, I could say Tesla has an extremely bright future.” He doesn’t need 20 years for the thesis to work. The 5-to-10-year window alone carries a compounding curve that most investors are too focused on daily price movements to see. Musk: “I would say like, hold on to your Tesla stock.” When someone with his track record of building things that weren’t supposed to be possible tells you directly what to do with an asset he controls, that isn’t a stock tip. That’s a signal. And the one rule that has consistently bankrupted the people who ignored it: never bet against Elon. Musk: “It’s gonna be worth a lot, I think, you know. That’s my bet.” No corporate jargon. No investor relations polish. Just the man who built the rockets telling you where he is placing his chips. The richest man on earth isn’t hedging. The people trading daily fluctuations are looking at the wrong timeline entirely. When someone tells you the factories are going to the moon, the 5-year chart is not the point. The entire economic order of the next century is.
