1/ There's nothing more un-American than our slow, often corrupt build-by-permission permitting regimes. With AI creating an even wider gap between how the world works, and how it could work — it's time for radical change. @judgeglock & I make the case for private permitting 🧵

Terrafab is going to be 100M sf. For context on how insane that is: - ~2,295 acres - 3.6 square miles under roof - 1 ,735 NFL football fields - 555 Walmart Supercenters - 15 Pentagons - 35 Empire State Buildings - will require 300,000 truckloads of concrete Long Grimes County, TX!

I’m launching a new show today for Founders Fund, which I’ve dreamt about creating for twenty years, and I’d love for all of you to check it out. Long story short, I sat 12 tech industry legends down around a table for a night of Mafia — a game of deception, and deduction, in which three secret liars attempt to eliminate the rest of the group, one by one, while the rest of the group attempts to figure out who’s lying to them before they’re all eliminated. Players: Sam Altman, Founder, OpenAI Palmer Luckey, Co-founder, Anduril Josie Zayner, Biohacker / Founder Embryo Corporation Bryan Johnson, Founder, Don’t Die Tim Urban, Writer, Wait Buy Why Liv Boeree, Pro Poker Player / Win-Win Pod Ryan Beiermeister, AI Policy Expert Dylan Field, Founder, Figma Moxie Marlinspike, Founder, Signal Cyan Banister, Partner, Long Journey Ventures Ryan Petersen, Founder, Flexport Trae Stephens, Partner, Founders Fund / Co-founder, Anduril I’ve been playing Mafia since college, and back in 2011, when I first moved to San Francisco to work for Peter Thiel, I brought it to Founders Fund. I’ve hosted games at retreats of ours and random weekend gatherings ever since, and as I’ve crossed paths with players from other lineages (“Werewolf,” the lesser mortals call it), I’ve come to realize… almost everyone in tech is into some version of this game. It’s my favorite game in the world, and not only because of how chaotic and exciting truly every round inevitably becomes, but because of how much Mafia has taught me not only about other people, and people in general, but about myself. Everyone believes they’re an incredible judge of character. But how good are you, really, at discerning the truth when you’re facing someone fully committed to manipulating you? Do you think you could figure out who’s lying? If you really had to? If your life depended on it? We filmed our first three episodes at San Francisco’s beloved Tosca Cafe, where the PayPal Mafia famously sat for their now iconic photo. For the next two weeks, we’ll release a new episode every Thursday. Let me know what you think. This one was a labor of love.
