Last weekend, B@USC sponsored members to visit @MBC_Conference! Students were able to present ideas, network, and connect with fellow blockchain enthusiasts. Huge thank you to @college_xyz, the sponsors, and organizers for an incredible event. Already excited for next year!

Student are now demoing their startups in classroom R230

the greatest victory is the one that requires no battle

When you're building a unicorn on the side but still have your 9-5:

white belt mentality for life

Ppl who get a 'black belt' in some martial art when they are younger, stop training, then walk around as an adult saying they are a black belt are hilarious. Just like in engineering, if u don't actively practice your skills they will disappear. U need to make it your lifestyle.

Gambling is horrible

Yeah. We're fucked, tbh

Is the neo humanoid fully autonomous? @grok

Aptos Experience: NYC may be over, but the energy is forever. THANK YOU to everyone who joined us from near and far in Brooklyn for two days of nothing but alpha, vibes, and moves to remember. Every announcement. Every moment. Sensational. Cheers to ALL and here's to more 🥂

Money can’t be caged

Programming with AI is insanely fun. Process is: 1. generate code 2. read & understand code that was generated 3. make small changes "manually" (still with great autocomplete) 4. test & debug 5. make big changes with new prompt 6. go back to step 1 Pure vibe coding skips step 2 & 3. And I think we'll need human expertise & experience for steps 2, 3 (and 4) for quite a while. But holy shit, I'm learning much faster, being way more productive, and having more fun. Not sure we're close to "AGI/ASI", but the software engineering world is definitely getting transformed very rapidly. It feels surreal to be experiencing it directly on a daily basis. Of course, there are both scary (jobs, security) & exciting (productivity, access) consequences to this transformation, as with all powerful technology.

You can just do things

Get a normal job Then make side projects after work Once the side projects make more than your main job for 6-12 months, quit yoir main job I don't know anyone who just fucked around being unemployed and then suddenly built a successful business, it was always people who had a job/income already and then what they built on the side took off On the contrary, there's something about being unemployed, sitting at home, getting free money from government or parents that gives absolutely NO sense of urgency because you don't hate your life enough You really hate your life doing a regular shitty job though, and that's GREAT motivation to work hard on the side on projects to be able to quit and change your life around

very, very, very few people understand how to be productive, and really, how productive you can be, with LLMs for coding what i didn't expect is how few people would actually pick up on it. Like, the saturation point is an extremely small number of people

you’re cringe until it works. then you’re a genius. and everybody wants a piece.
