After years in stealth, I'm finally ready to share what we've been building at GVTLabs πŸ‘€ While Silicon Valley debates the future of search, we're building it from Europe. Introducing AskGVT: "What LLMs read, AskGVT sees." We're unlocking the 80% of internet content that exists as video - making billions of frames LLM / searchable, queryable, and actually useful. Imagine asking "what standing desk setup actually works?" and getting real visual evidence from thousands of videos, not just text opinions. This 30-second glimpse barely scratches the surface of what's coming. To the exceptional engineers, researchers, and builders reading this: we're assembling a world-class team in Europe to compete with (and surpass) what's being built across the Atlantic. If you believe the future of knowledge isn't just reading about things but seeing how they actually work... If you want to help build the visual intelligence layer of the internet... Let's talk. πŸš€ gvtlabs.com

Elon 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, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries. Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000. Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous." The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before. Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Forget vibe coding. It's time for Chaos Coding: -> Prompt Claude 3.7 Sonnet with your vague idea. -> Say "keep going" repeatedly. -> Watch an incredible product appear from utter chaos. -> Pretend you're still in control. Lean into Sonnet's insanity β€” the results are wild.

Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today. Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out. We too are still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Here is what we know: - Last night, Sam got a text from Ilya asking to talk at noon Friday. Sam joined a Google Meet and the whole board, except Greg, was there. Ilya told Sam he was being fired and that the news was going out very soon. - At 12:19pm, Greg got a text from Ilya asking for a quick call. At 12:23pm, Ilya sent a Google Meet link. Greg was told that he was being removed from the board (but was vital to the company and would retain his role) and that Sam had been fired. Around the same time, OpenAI published a blog post. - As far as we know, the management team was made aware of this shortly after, other than Mira who found out the night prior. The outpouring of support has been really nice; thank you, but please don’t spend any time being concerned. We will be fine. Greater things coming soon.
