Ruminating on the way out makes you to soften. Ruminating on the way through makes you fortify yourself. There is no way out. The only way is through.

Walking alone through a foreign city at night and realizing how far you’ve come has to be a top 3 peak moment of all time

You have no experience. You’ve never started a company. You’ve never had a full time job. Nike is going to kill you. You’re a kid. You don’t have technical skills. You shouldn’t build hardware. Apple is going to kill you. You can’t build hardware. You can’t measure heart rate non-invasively. Athletes don’t care about recovery. Under Armour is going to kill you. It won’t be accurate. You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription. You can’t build a brand. You can’t do consumer in Boston. Your valuation is too high. You shouldn’t make accessories. You shouldn’t make apparel. Lululemon is going to kill you. You can’t predict Covid. Stay in your niche. You are going to run out of money. You can’t build a health platform. Amazon is going to kill you. You can’t measure blood pressure. You can’t get medical approvals. The market is too small. You don’t understand AI. The market is too competitive. It won’t work internationally. The supply chain is too complicated. You can’t build an AI. You can’t raise enough money. It’s too competitive. Healthcare isn’t going to want it. … Just keep going ✌️

Kevin O’Leary thinks the highest paying job right now is customer acquisition on social media “I used to pay those guys $48,000, now I’m paying them $250,000 because you can measure their work based on customer acquisition every week” “Most of them become contractors, they make half a million dollars a year because they know how to take content, turn it into a 59 second ad on social and acquire 200 customers” “Those people in their early 20’s are so valuable now. If you know how to use your phone, somebody wants to hire you”

The guy who built this robot is the same person who created xenobots in 2020, the first living robots made entirely from frog cells. That trajectory tells you everything about where robotics is heading. Sam Kriegman spent years studying how biological organisms survive damage. A starfish loses an arm, grows it back. A flatworm gets cut in half, both halves become new worms. Biology solved the resilience problem a billion years ago: make every piece a complete agent. He took that principle and made it mechanical. Each module in this metamachine has its own motor, battery, and computer. Cut the robot in half and you get two robots. The severed leg rolls away on its own and can rejoin later. The remaining body recalibrates its gait instantly and keeps walking. The AI designing these bodies is the part that should make every robotics company nervous. Kriegman's algorithm runs simulated Darwinian evolution, breeding thousands of body configurations, keeping winners, discarding losers. The designs it produces look nothing like any robot a human engineer would sketch. Three-legged things with tails. Five-limbed creatures where limbs double as spines. Forms that move like seals, lizards, and kangaroos depending on terrain. These metamachines ran outdoors across gravel, mud, sand, tree roots, and uneven brick. They jumped obstacles, did aerial spins, and flipped themselves upright when knocked over. No retraining. No recalibration. Zero sim-to-real gap. Boston Dynamics spends years hand-engineering a single quadruped body plan that breaks when you remove a leg. Kriegman's AI generates thousands of body plans in hours, and the ones it picks are functionally immortal. The 2020 xenobots were biological cells on a petri dish. Five years later, the same researcher has athletic machines built from Lego-like blocks running through mud outdoors. The compression from living cells to modular hardware to AI-evolved locomotion happened in one lab, in one researcher's career. That's the pace now.

Brute said worry is one of the highest acts of hubris and arrogance, because you never truly know enough about any scenario to worry 🧠

I accidentally broke my brain reading about Nobel Prize winners last month. There's this thing called "Janusian thinking" that basically explains why some people's minds work like magic while the rest of us think in straight lines. Named after Janus, the Roman god with two faces pointing opposite directions. The psychologist who discovered it, Albert Rothenberg, was trying to figure out what made breakthrough thinkers different. He interviewed dozens of Nobel laureates, major artists, revolutionary scientists. What he found sounds impossible. These people can hold two different ideas in their mind at the same time. They can explore both without switching back and forth or forcing a quick comparison. They can consider “yes” and “no” to the same question simultaneously and stay clear-headed. Einstein too talked about this when he described his relativity breakthrough. He was imagining riding alongside a beam of light while also standing perfectly still. Both perspectives at once. Mozart said he could hear an entire symphony "all at once," every note, every contradiction, every resolution happening in a single moment of awareness. Your average person's mind works like a courtroom. Evidence comes in, you weigh it, you reach a verdict. Case closed. But Janusian minds work more like... I don't know, like a quantum computer that can process multiple realities simultaneously until something new emerges from the overlap. I've started noticing it in conversations. When someone can genuinely see both sides of something without needing to pick one, it drives people nuts. They want you to land somewhere definite. The ability to live in that tension space reads as wishy-washy or indecisive. Most creative advice tells you to "think outside the box." But Janusian thinking is weirder than that. It's being inside and outside the box at the same time. It's thinking the box exists and doesn't exist simultaneously. Which explains why truly creative people seem slightly unhinged. They think they're choosing between realities. But, they're inhabiting multiple realities at once, mining the contradictions for insights the rest of us never see. Sadly, most of us have trained ourselves out of this ability. We've learned that holding contradictions feels unstable, so we rush toward resolution. We've been taught that changing your mind means you were wrong before, so we defend positions instead of exploring them. But the people changing the world have kept that childlike ability to hold impossible thoughts without needing them to make sense immediately. We just need to live in the questions everyone else is too scared to ask.

Reminder: this is still the greatest ad ever made.

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 24 hours? > Zuckerberg killed the Metaverse after burning $80 billion on cartoon avatars nobody used > Sam Altman took $13 billion from Microsoft then sold OpenAI's cloud to Amazon for $50 billion.. Microsoft just found out they funded their own competition > Anthropic made an AI that takes orders from your phone and does your work while you sleep.. > X dropped a dislike button AND a mute-entire-countries button in the same week.. > YouTube asking you to flag AI slop is just Google getting 2 billion people to train their next model for free > 93% of US jobs can now be partly done by AI.. Same week companies started giving the weakest raises since 2008 > Apple started rejecting vibe-coded apps from the App Store > xAI is paying Wall Street bankers $100/hour to teach Grok how to replace Wall Street bankers.. They're taking the money.. > A mystery AI model appeared on benchmarks beating everything.. Developers think DeepSeek is quietly testing their next weapon > Bloomberg asked "Is the AI bubble about to burst" the same day Nvidia said the chip market will hit $1 trillion.. One of them is dead wrong.. > The UK government backed down on AI copyright after artists revolted.. First government to flinch > The Fed said rate hikes are back on the table and blamed AI data centers for making inflation worse And it's only Wednesday. See you tomorrow. It'll be worse. If you're not following me you're finding out about this stuff 48 hours late from someone who read my post

🚨 Do you understand what Anthropic just did? > They made an AI that sits on your computer, takes orders from your phone, and does your work while you're gone. > You text it a task.. You go live your life.. You come back to finished work. > A year ago people were arguing about whether AI could write a decent email.. Now it's running your entire machine while you sleep. > Your company doesn't need you online 8 hours a day anymore... They need you online long enough to type a message to Claude. The 9-to-5 got replaced by a text message.
