That's fair. Legend is Sam was the guy applying to YC at 17 with "I am Sam Altman and I am coming" So yeah. Naked ambition. They're both just creaming their pants for power.

Ha! Everyone fails to make bus rapid transit comfortable and sustainable. That is the point - it’s publicly subsidized discomfort that gets you there. Along with everyone else more or less on time. In an urban environment. Along. With. Ev

You're correct, this has been the prevailing culture in tech. This is the playbook. But this isn't a good excuse. Players gonna play - we want them to play to win as hard as they can. But when we have safety guardrails and boundar

I just spoke up because something we're seeing a lot as Europeans is these subtle twists and turns in the narrative. When you live here a lot of this stuff is up close and personal - we don't need to infer anything from internet c

I have a love/hate thing with Instagram. I’ve been an avid user and it has been incredibly popular in my IRL social-circles over the last 5-10 years. Much has been said about the mechanics underpinning it but I’ve embarked on this expe
