Sam Bankman-Fried is the greatest investor of all time Cursor just got bought by SpaceX today. SBF invested $200k into Cursor in 2022 He also invested in: 2021- Anthropic: $500M → ~$75B 2022- Robinhood: $648M → ~$5B 2022- Genesis Digital: ~$1.15B → ~$3B 2022- SpaceX exposure: ~$100M → ~$10B That means if he weren't in jail today and still owned all this equity, he'd be worth ~$100 billion But because he got a greedy and put customer funds into crypto, he had to divest from all those positions at cost He'd be top 20 richest people in the world. Now he's just trying not to drop the bar of soap

If you could have invested $292 in Thomas Edison’s General Electric IPO at any price in 1892, would you? 100 years later, it would have been worth $5m SpaceX at any price is beginning to sound pretty good to me 🤔

Currently looking for 5-10 solo saas founders or small digital business owners to act as early pilots/build partners with us at Orbit Money. We are building automations for solo SaaS founders and small digital businesses to take the most painful parts of money financial admin off the plate. We’ll work closely together to unblock bottlenecks and automate workflows. Primarily around reconciliation, invoicing, cash flow visibility. Things that you are currently doing manually in the background but shouldn’t be. Will be then be solidified in the early product. Comment below or send me a Dm if you’re interested or to chat.

You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice. You thought it was you. It is not you. Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse. Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like. The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation. Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the "tails of the distribution." The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first. What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland. Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved. They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data. The lead researcher put it plainly. "Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment." The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible. This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis. The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world. Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

Now try Law & Order
Late to the party, but I've started watching Season 1 of House. Same narrative every episode: Patient has mysterious illness. Hugh Laurie (House) gets diagnosis wrong. Patient nearly dies. Hugh Laurie gets diagnosis wrong again. Gets threatened with being fired. Patient nearly dies again. Hugh Laurie has last minute leftfield idea. Gets diagnosis right. Doesn't get fired. Eight seasons of this?

Iran fired 11 ballistic missiles at Israel today. Each one of those missiles can level an entire neighborhood and kill hundreds. No self-respecting country in the world would tolerate such an attack, and neither will Israel. Israel is now targeting Iranian surface-to-surface missile launch sites, as well as infrastructure facilities unrelated to the energy sector. The people of Lebanon have rejected Iran’s proxy, Hizballah, and have told Iran to get out of their country. If Hizballah fires at Israel, its command centers in the Dahiya will be hit hard. This has nothing to do with Iran. Everyone has had enough of this maniacal Iranian regime.

Bill Clinton [Pres. USA]: "Hamas just wants to kill Israelis and make Israel uninhabitable" Hosni Mubarak [Pres. Egypt]: “For 50 years, the Palestinians have said No to peace.”
Even Arab leaders admit it. Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see. Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective. Ok, so let us set that aside. Now watch this. In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada. Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance. He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises. The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978. This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel. When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias. The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return. This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today. If you value the truth, please share.

This is a business model I could get behind …
I remember first meeting @jakebolling & being 'wowd' by his desire to transform an otherwise overlooked industry. We knew we had to invest. 12 months later, Scotch launched. 3 months after that, pre-empted for their A. Now, Scotch has passed a $1B GPV run-rate. Scotch is quickly becoming the defacto operating system for liquor stores nationwide. Kudos to the entire Scotch team, and a big 🍻 to Jake — one of the best operators out there.

Game changing … great people find great ideas & execute fearlessly.
Excited to launch @airtreevc's Frontier Program: a residency for founders working out what's worth their next decade. $250k on an uncapped SAFE, compute credits, and a small room of exceptional people. We think the fastest way for an exceptional founder to find the right thing to work on is to put them in a room with five or six peers of the same calibre who'll raise the ceiling on what they think is reasonable to attempt. Alongside the community, we’re giving founders time to navigate the idea maze with $250k on an uncapped MFN SAFE, and we’ve partnered with the major labs, infra and cloud providers to accelerate teams with credits. More info and the link to apply in thread

"Are there any Palestinian Muslims inside Palestine advocating for peace?" An ex-quaker searched far and wide for Palestinians who want and believe in coexistence with Israel. Here's what he found!

J-Cal is right: $10m is FUM But, that’s not the full picture: It’s $10m invested in the S&P500 (less 10% in cash, optionally 5% - 10% in well thought out tech investments) for life. THAT gives you 5% to spend, and another ~4% (all before tax) to reinvest to pay for your annual cpi ‘pay rises’ Now, for extra points: why 5%? You’re into tech (possibly a founder), so you’ll probably beat Bengen’s revised 4.7% Rule & the biggest long-term risk to this ‘safe withdrawal rate’ is not market crashes, but inflation …
J-Cal says the exact dollar amount at which money stops mattering: $10 million. Park it, earn 5%, and you're clearing half a million a year without lifting a finger. You can go do whatever you want or nothing at all. That's real F-U money. Everything past that is just keeping score.

There’s no doubt that Israel’s war in Gaza was not genocide. It is the least likely urban conflict in modern history to meet the standard legal definition of genocide. And you don't have to take my word for it. Take the word of the High Level Military Group, the HLMG, which is a collection of all the of high level officers and generals from almost all the Western democracies in the world, not just the United States. These people aren't Jews. They have no connection with Israel. They're just generals in militaries around the world. They wrote a report and a brief to the International Criminal Court, the ICC, saying that Israel’s civilian warning system is completely unlike anything any other country has ever been willing to do for the civilian population of an enemy in wartime. Under this system, Israel tells the civilian population of Gaza exactly where it will be striking the next day and then provides humanitarian corridors for them to leave those zones. They also say it is something our own democracies would never be able to do, because our civilian populations would never stomach endangering the lives of our own soldiers by warning the enemy where our sons and daughters will be. Israel's unprecedented efforts to protect the lives of civilians in Gaza has taken a very heavy toll on the IDF. Over 800 Israelis have been killed in Gaza precisely because they warned the civilian population to get out of harm's way.

Labor restricted negative gearing in 1985. Labor introduced capital gains tax in 1985. Labor formally campaigned in 2016 and 2019 on restricting negative gearing and increasing capital gains tax. Then, in 2025, Labor promised it would not touch either. When anyone suggested otherwise, they dismissed it as a “scare campaign”. Now, one year after the election, they have done exactly what they promised Australians they would not do. This was not reform. It was deception.
If you show me evidence it was a premeditated lie, I'll happily call it a lie. Otherwise it's just bias and premeditation that chooses to ignore logic, unfortunately.
