#Startups Tips 2024
Tip #1: Don't wait for investors to believe in your idea. Believe in it first. In doing so, understand what problem your startup is solving for the market and write your value proposition in a single sentence. Get the math right and prove it to yourself. Then run with your idea. The #capital will follow. #GrowthMindset #growthhacking

A paradigm shift: Military contractors aren’t just hired—they’re commissioned. Tech elites now wear the uniform, coding the wars of tomorrow. #AI #Military #TechState

🇺🇸 U.S. Military Commissions Top AI Executives as Officers
The U.S. Army has formally enlisted top executives from OpenAI, Meta, and Palantir—not as advisors, but as uniformed officers. This marks the launch of Detachment 201, a new “innovation unit” aimed at integrating private-sector AI expertise directly into military operations.
🔶️ The new officers include:
🔸️Shyam Sankar, CTO of Palantir
🔸️Andrew Bosworth, CTO of Meta
🔸️Kevin Weil, CPO of OpenAI
🔸️Bob McGrew, former research director at OpenAI
Their mission: deploy commercial AI solutions across military domains—from reconnaissance and targeting to next-generation weapons development.
🔶️ This reflects broader shifts already underway:
🔸️Palantir is deeply embedded in U.S. and NATO command structures, supporting everything from logistics to real-time strike planning.
🔸️OpenAI has strengthened ties with defense contractors since former NSA director Paul Nakasone joined its board.
🔸️Google, Meta, and other tech firms have lifted internal bans on building combat AI systems.
Bottom line: The U.S. isn’t just militarizing AI—it’s institutionalizing corporate-technocratic control over the armed forces. Battlefield decisions will increasingly be shaped not just by military officers, but by corporate-run AI systems. Key parts of the U.S. war machine are being handed over to tech conglomerates.

DeepSeek R1, and now this...
China has just sustained a fusion reaction for nearly 18 minutes, breaking last year's record (also held by China) of 6 minutes.
This is BIG and extremely important breakthrough. People need to know. We’re talking here about almost free, abundant energy, which fuels tech and scientific progress.
Just like with AI, the US needs to accelerate fusion power research. Fusion needs tens of billions more in investment.

Beaming energy to earth… 20GW worth…
9 Jan 2025
This is insane: China is working on building a 1km wide space solar power station orbiting the earth that'll generate as much energy as the Three Gorges dam and transmit it back to earth via microwaves.

Just got back from Syria. Visited Damascus, Homs, Hama, Idlib, Aleppo some towns in Aleppo, Idlib, Tartous, and Hama provinces. The mood in the cities is generally joyful/relief and some worry. They want power, water, security, and a functioning economy. In most towns, didn't see much life.
Millions of people will return to homes that weren't destroyed by bombs — they were gutted by thieves dispatched by the regime. Windows, doors, pipes, wires, fittings, everything stripped. Appliances, clothes, items with negligible value, taken, leaving concrete shells behind. The roads to these ghost towns are so bad that some have disappeared completely.
Immense challenges ahead. There's a widespread sense of rebirth among Syrians. Once the euphoria passes, it will be time to rebuild and establish a government that serves the people and not itself.

Everyone talks about the same explorers like:
Columbus, Captain Cook and Marco Polo.
But there's one traveler who journeyed farther than all of them combined.
