I will happily take the other side of that bet

Their debt comes due. Most likely they get debt from a different bank or private credit firm to pay down the old debt.

Those who can’t refinance will sell assets or the business.

I dont think your comment reflects what happens in board rooms and internally at large companies. I am paying for the senior partner to have conversations with me on how others before me have done this. The packaging of a PowerPoint is to be able to efficiently share that data with others in the firm.

Is it smart for individuals to have conversations with others about their problems? This is that for CEOs and senior executives.

I think their integration work and consulting is second to none. Companies don’t always know how to stack rank growth opps or M&A

Corporate taxes should likely be viewed as an ROI on grants and tax breaks. A generational shift would likely need to happen to get there.

How much does Eli Lilly receive in grants or tax breaks and how much do they pay? Should the federal government break even or return 20%?

Well, despite all the negativity about trying to fit something, I find the outline inter sting and appreciate you creating it. I like trying to see all the potential fits plus I was not aware of the number of games available that I never played.

Agreed. The problem is we are already there. This is a similar theme to the front page story today about malicious code and Google’s automated response

As you look at everyone’s healthcare, we have every provider adopting an agentic billing solution and every payor adopting an agentic dispute solution. Two AIs fighting over their $200 payment while my deductible is $5k

Anthropic is terrible too. I couldn’t rectify my spending versus my usage. Automated assistant shows me where things are that I am already asking about. Gets escalated and person doesn’t respond to my question. Back to automated with multiple requests to escalate before they will do it

Anecdotally, I think there are more rich children at Harvard than Yale (more legacies, more donations to get their child in, etc). Those people have more time to take a risk as a founder than non-wealthy.

We all just look at energy as a price. I think more people are concerned if our prices will go up, not how much energy it uses. The bigger question is water.

How much water do they use? Is it potable to begin with? Is it usable after? Will they drive prices up. These are one time builds with minimal jobs created after for a tech that could end my career. If I lose my job, I don’t also want to have no water and higher bills.

This is the venture model now though. Spend until profitable. Uber did it. It seems OpenAI could do it as well given we seem to be in a 2 horse race for foundation models and having capital to get better pushes them further ahead.

Gemini is number 3 in this race

I think about Bluey a lot in these situations. Fantastic show but because of the contract the Australian entity has sold licensing for everything. I wish they didn’t do sugary foods and a few other items. But it would be hard to turn down generational wealth

So buy $TSLA is your recommendation

What does ICs stand for?

But growth rates could make that a bargain. If the market has taught us anything since 2009, it’s don’t underestimate growth

Perhaps those are your greatest memories because that is what you were doing as a child. Would your greatest memories of you grow up now be playing Minecraft online?

> My company uses slack, teams, and zoom. Which one you use the most depends on the person or the team they are on.

This sounds exhausting. This is the reason everyone should use one.

It’s implied in the article

Very cool. The opposite of the black swan or turkey corollary. Every day the turkey gets fed and is happy until Thanksgiving rolls around.

Strike a deal is a euphemism for bribe the president. Love where the US is now

There are a lot of browser extensions designed to create LinkedIn msgs using ai. You create a search list and it creates outbound and then you can deploy auto or review before sending. You can also then auto respond

At this rate, with round 4, outside investors own 70% of company.

It’s not wrong, but unusual. Most seed round might be 10-20% of business. Your point on quantum of capital could be the disconnect for me.

33% of the business in a seed round is nuts

If you organize the folders, it is pretty similar to Getting Things Done or 43 folders.

Really great work but have to agree with others that I don’t see the threads.

The one I found most connected that the LLm didn’t was a connection between Jobs and the The Elephant in the Brain

The Elephant in the Brain: The less we know of our own ugly motives, the easier it is to hide them from others. Self-deception is therefore strategic, a ploy our brains use to look good while behaving badly.

Jobs: “He can deceive himself,” said Bill Atkinson. “It allowed him to con people into believing his vision, because he has personally embraced and internalized it.”

I just had my mom purchase a $100 gift card for my son. Now I have to go to the Apple Store to redeem it… how fun

It’s funny because everyone under the sun has been telling these two companies to come together since 2018 when online learning courses started to fade away. They are finally doing it after both went public and lost 80% of their value. At least the management team is going to make some money.

Interesting to me is the fact the supermarkets in France encourage you to buy more veggies.

I think the title should be “despite AI lobbying push”. I am note entirely clear after reading twice who was lobbying for and who was against but Sinema hatred may have played a minor role here.

Fair. Everything is an adaption of some IP somewhere. I think the most interesting job now is cranking out self published books hoping to get adapted, but not well known to US audiences and was highly rated by critics was my point
