Surround yourself with people who build and create — and your life will be great. Surround yourself with people who destroy and complain—and your life will suck. It’s actually that simple.

Poetic raised $50M at a $500M valuation betting that autonomous agents are too unreliable for mission-critical work. They compile natural language into deterministic code, hit 99% accuracy, and already run in healthcare and banking. OpenAI co-funded the anti-agent thesis.

Why not 6%?
Why not 10%
Because you’ve calibrated the number to what you think you can get away with.
Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American.
And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars!
You don't think that's worth it?
Community note
5% of $1.2T is $60b. 8m students in BA/BS programs on average pay over $20k/yr, or ~$160b/yr for BA/BS degrees only.
That tax could not cover even half of only US bachelor degree costs for just 1 year, excluding grad, ass., or trade degrees totaling another ~10m students.

Today’s display by @TheDemocrats, feeding resentment and covetousness to grab a little more power and money for themselves, is utterly despicable.

Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE.
When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted.
The system is rigged.

This list includes only a fraction of Elon’s accomplishments.
> you’ll never help paralyzed people use computers
> you’ll never build solar roof shingles
> you’ll never build an affordable EV
> you’ll never build a car that can drive itself safer than humans could
> you’ll never build AI that could compete with Google.
> you’ll never build affordable tunneling machines that could solve traffic
> you’ll never save free speech in America – the state censorship apparatus is now too powerful to be defeated.
What can you say to all of this except thank you, and God protect you. 🫡

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.
Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

The issue of Mars colonisation (or space colonisation in general, if we don't want to get into the planet/habitat debate between space advocates) is surprisingly one of the key dividing lines in present day politics.
You can reliably predict someones opinion on it by which party they vote for, by how they feel about Elon Musk as a person, or by their level of optimism/pessimism about technology. There is almost total correlation on believing it is a good/bad idea from a technical perspective and thinking it is desirable/undesirable from a political perspective. Everyone seems to be quite sure that the laws of physics vindicate their opinions on this matter.
Its not surprise I'm in the "let's go" faction. But I am increasingly of the view that even beyond the issue of Mars, that faction must win, or else Earth as well will be sunk into the mire of degrowth, envy politics, and misery.

JPMorgan is deploying AI agents that run 1–2 hours overnight with zero human input. Their chief analytics officer said this week: 'We've entered the era of long-running autonomous agents.' When the biggest US bank says that, the question becomes: who manages them?

my favorite content of the week is all the European minds, in real time, not being able to comprehend this
Jun 10
This is the most “The European mind can’t comprehend this” moment of my life. One of my friends said, “Punch me five times tomorrow and I’ll still think this isn’t real.”

@Anthropic just released Fable 5. Stripe used an early version to compress two months of engineering work into a single day. Mythos-class model, now publicly available. Free on Pro and Team plans until June 22.

Every one of these agent roles needs its own governance framework, evaluation criteria, and escalation policy. Building that system is what Agent Ops is for. brite.bot/business

If your AI agents run continuous workflows, you need infrastructure to manage, audit, and govern them at scale. Britebot builds that layer. brite.bot/business

Microsoft just made AI agent deployment one-click inside M365. Every team will have their own agents by end of year. Nobody's figured out who manages them all yet.

And ironically, all you’d have to do is make a bitcoin faucet website, and the 21 million bitcoin you own would begin to have real world purchasing power. Which isn’t far from what actually happened. 🤔
Jun 7
If you own 1 single bitcoin, it’s worth $62k.
If you own 21 million bitcoin, it’s worth zero.
