Preroll ad’s last 5 seconds and everyone hits skip. Curated events last 5 hours and everyone is craving an invite. You get: - Social impressions - 100’s of 1 on 1 conversations - Real loyalty $100k into paid ads goes into a vague impression metric. $100k here is legacy

Open home Devkitというスマートホームデバイスを使って何かを作るよ。これは中身を自分でいじくれるAlexaみたいなもの。 ラジコン関連で使えるものか、あるいは全く別の何か。ちょっと考えてみよう。 @openhome

“We don’t invest in Hardware” - investors who don’t like moat’s The traction and demand for OpenHome has been off the rails. We’ve been shipping and assembling as fast as we possibly can but have filled <1% of requests. Turns out people want to create AI Devices
Had the idea to hand assemble devkits at @openhome to get hardware in the hands of our users quickly. What I didn’t account for is how insane the response was going to be, or how many of these we would be shipping weekly. Can’t wait to see what gets built next.

I own Anthropic Series B shares bought in the FTX bankruptcy sale. These shares came with an accompanying ROFR waiver, and most (all?) buyers bought them into LLC’s that hold the stock. Buy the LLC = Buy the stock $1.3B was sold. These shares are up 50x, now worth ~$60B
I am surprised more people are not paying attention to this update from Anthropic on its stock policy. This seems like a potential bombshell. There is an active secondary market purportedly in Anthropic stock or derivatives including on fairly reputable (or at least well-known) platforms like Forge. Anthropic is calling them out *specifically*, by name, and essentially *saying* 100% of these are illegal. Some may be frauds (people selling Anthropic stock or interests in Anthropic stock that they don't truly own), but more likely many are legit attempts at transferring Anthropic equity (directly, as SPV shares, or as some type of 'beneficial interest' or future, etc.) Anthropic appears to be saying it will treat all these transfers as void. I don't have access to their terms, but it's very interesting to think what this could mean. Do the 'first purported sellers' in the chain potentially have an opportunity to do a double-dip? Does the first seller and all downstream buyers get the entire entitlement nuked? Anthropic is threatening that--are they just bluffing? If they're not bluffing, what litigation is likely to ensue? This can get into really esoteric areas of corporate law that depend on exactly how the transfer restrictions are drafted as well as the language around how violations of transfer restrictions are treated--for example, if they are merely voidABLE then downstream buyers can assert various equitable claims/defenses, but if they are VOID ab initio then in some jurisdictions that forecloses equitable defenses.

Got my @openhome dev kit in the mail yesterday, can't wait to hack around with it! Have a couple ideas for features, and maybe will even try to build a real product around it. Thx to @JesseRank and the rest of the team, incredible initiative!

VCs have insane Anthropic FOMO right now. One firm even offered to make a random Twitter investor a general partner — if he sold them his shares. Even hinting you own stock is like "throwing bread to seagulls," @thebenbergman writes.

Wildest offer yet: Founder just offered me $3M of Series B stock for $1M of my Anthropic shares They’d rather own Anthropic than their own company.
My latest: When one tech founder hinted on X that he might sell his Anthropic shares, it was like throwing bread to seagulls. Within minutes, @JesseRank was fielding hundreds of offers, from wire-ready cash to offers of a VC partnership. businessinsider.com/anthropi…

Hardware is hard, but open source AI devices are the frontier. Incredible to see the momentum behind @OpenHome with 1,000 contributors! Fully local AI and custom spatial models is exactly the shift we need. Builders, don’t sleep on this DevKit. 👇🔥

Diligence in 2026 is wild. My friends in PE are now spending the weekend before IC trying to rebuild the company they're acquiring in Claude Code. If the clone works, the deal dies. Cheapest moat test in human history.
