SpaceX IPO just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day. 400 of them are now worth over $100 million. These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees. Software company IPOs have created millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

$AAPL is up 50% over the last year - and it’s got another 60 points to go before the end of 2026! #prediction of @Rickard

Anthropic: "Fable 5 is our best model for running self-improving agent systems. Add /loops, dynamic workflows, dreaming and you are unstoppable" Pretty much, everyone this week is using it to find out just how much their repositories are full of flawed code.

Buy?! 👎🏻 I disagree. Reward yourself with a few months of nonstop travel and exploration. Wake up every morning to an amazing breakfast where you open up your laptop and plan what you’re going to build next —> what’s your next hundred million start up?

Last week, we hosted the Rwanda AI Scaling Hub Community Convening — two days with the innovators, implementers, and government partners building AI solutions for Rwanda's national development priorities, safely and sustainably, and creating the evidence base to scale impact.

Founder closed a $15m Series A (top tier VC) and 6 months later, plans to return the cash to investors. Feels like long term, Claude will displace the product / erode the value. This is really happening, most people are not talking about it, it’s kinda wild.

CEO of Nvidia: "you're not going to lose your job to AI. you're going to lose your job to someone using AI." True: However, that someone who is ‘using AI’ is more than likely, your boss… or who the boss will prefer to stay managing the agents running tasks 24/7.

Rwanda just did something most ecosystems are still debating - It built a Kinyarwanda ICT dictionary with 1,700 tech terms! 🙌🏻 This is great! We are all about Rwandans building tech solutions for Rwanda at @RwandaBuild - If people can’t understand technology in their own language, they can’t fully participate in building it.

#Rwanda has been recognized by @WorldBankGroup as a top performer on the Human Capital Index (HCI ), reflecting strong progress in health, education, and employment outcomes. What does that mean? A child born today in Rwanda can expect better health, quality education, and real employment opportunities.

So, in the last two months, @AnthropicAI shipped 75 major features and modules on Claude (Claude — Code, Cowork, Dispatch, computer control, 1M context on desktop, scheduled tasks, more) That’s not just “fast execution” or “aggressive cadence.” That’s not a roadmap, that’s a firehose of capability directly into the core product that devoted core users already use every day - that’s a different level of dev operating and focus entirely. Their users can’t stop talking about how awesome all these tools are - they are getting all the buzz and feel like the clear leader for many months now. Then, take their competitor and leader in the AI space, @OpenAI, which is shutting down Sora, its text‑to‑video/video‑generation product, just months after launching it to major fanfare and signing a high‑profile Disney licensing deal. While Anthropic accelerates efforts to empower individual Claude users, OpenAI is shutting down popular products to focus on and expand enterprise and partner channels. Clearly, OpenAI is developing and likely working on a major strategy away from direct end-user focus, targeting what partners will utilize for their end users. - Anthropic has 1,000 employees, Claude safety infra; “AI‑native” product org - OpenAI has 3,500 employees, ChatGPT, an enterprise API, tools, robotics, and AGI research Only time will tell which strategy will pay out - maybe both strategies earn each to share future pieces of the AI pie.
