@Zachly @elonmusk @sama Drop the "ly" then. Make it Zach 🤪

@kevinrunsnyc see dm

@tayloramurphy just send you a dm

@nrmehta @jasonlk been living like this for ages. Somehow you make it sound much worse than it is. Never had a bad experience flying around the U.S, except for when I am back in the SF and need to take the Bart to the city.

Hi @Jason , we have actually built this. It is invite only for now. Would you like an invite? For context, we raised our pre-seed and are currently focused on introducing social collaboration to agentic work, so that it becomes easier for you to share a working agent with a colleague. I am an MIT dropout and have previously built some products that you and your friends likely use already.

@nichochar Communists always have the best marketing up to the point when the reality becomes so unbearable that marketing stops working.

@nrmehta You don't think there is some version of "we have processes that no one can replicate easily" that can be labeled execution? The longer version about this from a couple years ago: mir.report/p/whats-the-mo…

@andruyeung This is nothing. I had a call with Mark Zuckerberg in 2005 😅 x.com/sgmlabs/status…

Since we're on this timeline. Here is my Mark Zuckerberg story... "Hello, this is Mark!" I am still in school, and I built this app (that I thought) was 100 times better than the version of Facebook at the time. Don't remember exactly who gave me his phone number, yet here I

finding the truth is old school approach. And while I personally agree with it, I wonder if it still holds today. while we all want to believe that the best product still wins, how do we know that this is actually the case? What if the "truth" is that you actually have to massively scale, do social influencing campaigns, and brute force your way to customer adoption because in many verticals customer no longer can tell good product vs bad? (Who is getting paid more and has a more prestigious job - the confident specialist doctor or the one who diagnosed your kid directly...)

@thesamparr old information. When was the last time you've checked Netflix? The majority of content on there is not produced in LA...

Strongly disagree with @thesamparr I lived in SF I worked in SF. I went to High School 40 minutes south of SF I lived in Palo Alto I studied at Stanford Bay Area and San Francisco are not a requirement if you're in tech Bay Area and San Francisco are not a requirement if you're a Founder Bay Area and San Francisco ARE a requirement if you want to receive the highest possible compensation in tech. They are not a requirement for doing great work, being great, or "MAKING IT". Half of the people on LinkedIn with founder / VC title who have San Francisco in their location, are not even in SF (And that's probably underestimating it)

@dexhorthy Took me a second to get what "look" you're going for, and I realized it is Rand Fishkin, founder of Moz (@randfish). The mustache, the "porky" humour, even the tone of voice - it is all Rand.

@HamelHusain any interest in building your product(s)?

there comes a time when every ML or Data Science influencer transitions from sharing well-crafted articles to sharing 10-20 second clips. And this is exactly how you know that the guy has made it and is no longer marketing the expertise, but is trying to communicate to the CEOs at the IQ level that they understand.

Since we're on this timeline. Here is my Mark Zuckerberg story... "Hello, this is Mark!" I am still in school, and I built this app (that I thought) was 100 times better than the version of Facebook at the time. Don't remember exactly who gave me his phone number, yet here I am on a call with the most well known person of my generation. In my mind I remember introducing myself, but in all honesty, the words might have just froze inside my mind and never actually went through my mouth 🤣. There was a lot going into this call. 6 Months of painstaking coding (this is not just pre AI, but pre EVERYTHING...) and some pretty clever marketing. The inspirations were high. If you asked me 5 minutes before the call what I thought would be the outcome of this call, I probably would have mumbled something to the effect of: - acquisition by Facebook - me and Mark becoming best friends - yada yada But then the actual call happened. And all I recall is him clearly saying "what can I do for you" and then a 20-30 second awkward pause in which neither of us actually said anything. Don't remember who hung up on who. I was so starstruck that it might as well have been me hanging up on him (Sorry, Mark). Either way, that call eventually led to some self-reflection - specifically what I needed to do to become better at SALES and Communication.

Sorkin made the The Social Network before he could blame Zuck for all the political issues he can imagine, so we’re about to get insane “mask off” fantasy fiction blaming Facebook for giving us Trump. Kill me.

@AlexNoonan6 But very few people will see you eating... Whereas in NYC you can get a lot of people to watch you eat. It does not sound like much, but it is what many people are living for... Haven't you seen those TikTok "watch me eat work" recordings?

In some cases, but not in FDE case. FDEs were everywhere already in 2016, but it unpopular to publicly admit this, so the industry used all sorts of different language. But Snowflake, Databricks, Palantir, Looker - to name just a few - all used the same model. Not to acknowledge this means VCs not only are laggards, but they are proactively suppressing the information to keep riding the old waves - and until 2021 this was SaaS. That's where we are now too. The real breakthroughs ars now outside of enterprise FDEs, but this is golden goose that VCs will keep milking until they can't.

@TimurNegru How about in France, neighboring Switzerland?
