Netanyahu sure is lucky!
Two months ago he told the world that in just a few years Israel would be the world’s third AI superpower after America and China, “with God’s help” ;)
Now all of sudden three Israelis are on the list to replace Jensen Huang as CEO of Nvidia!
And the interim CEO starts her day every day by talking to Israelis!
That’s Larry Silverstein levels of luck 🍀

So the CEO of Nvidia fucked a Chinese spy and now the company is going to be controlled by Israel?
IndieSamMaker retweeted
Here’s why Jensen Huang did NOT fall for a “Chinese honeypot.”
1. China doesn’t actually want Nvdia chips. They ordered their biggest tech companies to CANCEL orders.
2. Almost 1 MILLION Nvidia chips are stranded in Hong Kong as China won’t let them in the mainland.
3. Nvidia itself said China tells customers to purchase and use “China-based competitors”
4. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admitted it’s because using Nvidia gets China "addicted to the American technology stack”
5. Alice was DISOBEYING China by smuggling chips. Chinese authorities were INVESTIGATING her.
6. The ONLY source of her being a honey pot is “U.S. intelligence”. NO ONE knows what the intelligence actually is..
7. The US Attorney General admitted the DOJ has NOT determined she was a spy…
Fake news took down one of the most powerful CEOs in the world from the company he founded. Thats what happens to non-pedo billionaires.

If @nvidia fires @JensenHuang, I’m selling all of my $NVDA and putting 100% of my liquid net worth into whichever company hires him next.

marc is right
f*ck your bs excuses
im convinced what stops most people from
being successful is a combination of
ignorance + pride
and i only say this because last year i had nothing
this whole success thing is fairly new to me
ignorance because you don't know where
the unfair advantages are keeping you poor:
- making an app
- working as a UGC creator
- having momentum and posting on x
- talking to the right people ahead of you
- providing disgusting amounts of value
to others without expecting anything back
(it was actually thanks to this last point that
my partnership with @ErnestoSOFTWARE started)
if you ask a lot of the app founders here on x
they'll tell you i always give them all the
sauce i can for free
pride because you refuse to learn from others
you refuse to let your wrong ideas go
- learn how to copy correctly
look at all of marc's products
NONE OF THEM ARE 100% ORIGINAL
and that's ok
he didn't invent code templates
he didn't invent website analytics
he didn't invent marketplaces
he literally just copied beehive
all his products have his own style but the
underlying product ideas were there before him
- prioritize distribution over building
this is one of the toughest ones but if you
crack it you will change your life forever
ask yourself how do i grow a personal brand
instead of how do i make 10 products at once
what makes a video or an x post go viral
instead of what new product can i make today
these two concepts are all you need to start
escaping the permanent underclass
i was broke last year and now im not
you can absolutely change your life in a year

Lots of people making the argument we don’t all start at the same place
For example being born in Paris is very different to New Deli.
And that’s 100% true.
But most people reading these tweets, on their smart phone with access to WiFi aren’t in that boat either.
The idea that @marclou or @levelsio are at some unfair advantage because of their audience is so stupid.
They built the audience!!
Marc’a special power is his ability to command attention, that’s a skill he learned.
I’ve noticed whenever anyone gets successful it comes at a price. Instead of being jealous I feel inspired and hopeful I can make it one day too 🤷🏼♂️

Starting from zero is fucking hard.
I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. It takes a toll on you mentally, emotionally, and financially.
But it’s possible.
In 2023, I found myself in that exact situation. Moving to another country with my wife and two kids and losing everything I had built in a single day.
That’s when I started sharing my journey here. I had fewer than 100 followers.
I chose to be brutally honest. I didn’t hide my failures or pretend everything was fine. I admitted I had a problem and started moving forward, one step at a time.
That transparency changed my life. I found support, made real friends, and met people who reached out and helped me when I was at my lowest.
It took me almost 3 years of relentless work to rebuild everything and surpass my previous results.
So if you’re at rock bottom today, remember this: YOU CAN COME BACK.
You’ll need 100% focus, radical transparency and a willingness to work harder than you ever have before.
And even money won’t guarantee success. Having parents who can support you financially is a huge advantage. But ultimately, it comes down to you. Are you ready for what it takes?
For a while, forget vacations. Forget comfort. Forget weekends off.
Get back up and fucking grind.
Day after day. Month after month. Until you make it.

J’ai été placé 48 h en garde à vue pour apologie de terrorisme dimanche dernier parce que des restaurateurs et militants pro israéliens ont tenté de m’agresser pour cause que je portais un keffieh palestinien en plein Paris. Je vous demande de RT et relayer un max ⬇️

🚨🇫🇷🇮🇱💻 ALERTE INFO !
À L’APPROCHE DE LA PRÉSIDENTIELLE DE 2027, DES ACTEURS DU SECTEUR PRIVÉ ISRAÉLIEN SONT SOUPÇONNÉS D’ÊTRE À L’ORIGINE D’UNE VASTE CAMPAGNE DE DÉSINFORMATION RACISTE ET ISLAMOPHOBE EN FRANCE
Depuis trois ans, cette campagne a généré 120 MILLIONS DE VUES en France, diffusant des publicités antimusulmanes et anti-immigration sur les réseaux sociaux.
Selon Le Monde, deux chercheurs évoquent "l’une des plus grandes campagnes d’influence et de désinformation jamais documentées". 😨
Plusieurs indices pointent vers le secteur privé israélien, mais les commanditaires n’ont pas encore été identifiés.

OMG there is MORE unemployment for computer engineering than for Art History majors, we are cooked ☠️☠️☠️
COMPUTER ENGINEERING WAS AT 2.3% UNEMPLOYMENT TWO YEARS EARLIER
This list is accurate. It is the New York Fed's latest data by major, covering grads aged 22 to 27 in 2024.
Computer engineering ranks No. 2 of 73 majors at 7.8%. In 2022 it was 2.3%.
Computer science climbed from 4.3% to 7.0% over the same two years.
All recent grads were at 4.2%.
The safe-bet degree now sits between anthropology and fine arts.

Most ppl don't realize what is going on in software/SaaS, the market is totally fucked, any baseline from the last 5 years is gone
There are 3 things going on at the same time:
1) The production cost of software are plummeting. AI makes devs more productive, meaning it takes less labour to create a software (labour being the most expensive part of building software). Cheaper to build = more competitors = prices go down
2) The economy is in a stagflation, meaning inflation (price increase) but without the growth. It's caused by lower supply in oil due to the war = more expensive to buy oil. Oil is used for transport, so everything tied to transport (which almost everything is) becomes more expensive, but it doesn't create growth/profit.
3) The central banks are increasing rates to contain inflation, meaning it's more expensive to borrow money, meaning less investments overall. For startup/SaaS/Tech it also means less VCs throwing money left and right cause they can get good ROI from bonds
So if you add those 3 you get a situation where everything is becoming more expensive for everyone, EXCEPT for software. And now because money is tight, people have an even greater incentive to look for cheaper options/vibe code their own
its so over (but if u play ur cards well can also be so back)
We need to have OPUS agents running 24/7 on our VPS patching instantaneously and autonomously any disclosed vulnerability seconds after it's disclosed
PSA for anyone running a Linux server, node, or relay
CVE-2026-98432 is a critical Linux kernel bug (CVSS 9.8). Someone on the internet can send crafted TCP packets and take over your machine. No login needed.

If you don't know already, go update Google Chrome.
Right now.
Drop whatever you're doing, and go update it.
I don't care if it doesn't show an update available, go to settings, go to About Chrome, and make sure you're on 156+
Put down the toothbrush. get off the toilet, pull over to the side of the road - do it now.
Me not doing marketing yet for my new deployed macos app gave Gemini "circuit palpitations" 🤣
If someone can figure out what this app is about just from that screenshot, free lifetime license on me

Three years ago, I earned $500k/year in tech.
Today, I’m homeless, living in my car.
28 years of experience. Three technical books. AI engineer since the 1990s.
And I can’t find a job.
My story is a warning about the future of work.
