Just a couple little tweaks and I think Ballot Box V2 is ready to test.

What if we could make the SF's generosity accessible to more people? Launching CrashCouch 🛋️: a community connecting newcomers to SF with locals willing to offer spare space or even a couch for a short stay. free & no plan to monetize. community & safety first. i moved 5 times in my 1st year in SF. What got me thru was the generosity of ppl around me. SF is full of ppl genuinely willing to help if they see potentials within you. i want to make that generosity more accessible. referral & invite only (for now). I prioritize women feeling comfortable to be included in the community. whether you need a place to crash or have space to share in SF, welcome to join: crashcouch.xyz

Uber and back: $70 All day parking: $18 Is driving back?

It’s a bloodbath in Bay Area. Thousands of layoffs, more to come. Met a founder this morning who mentioned his AI tech is laying off 2000 call center workers. Not sure if society is ready for such upheaval. Gut wrenching

My politics is this.

THIS IS INSANE!!! A San Francisco startup says it just turned mercury into real gold. The company is Marathon Fusion. This week they announced they'd made stable gold using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record CERN set in 2025. CERN's record was 29 picograms over four years. So nobody's pouring bars yet. The method is what got me. You hit mercury-198 with a fusion neutron. It loses a neutron, becomes mercury-197, and over the next few days decays into gold-197. The exact same gold sitting in central bank vaults. Their 2025 paper says a one-gigawatt fusion plant built this way could make around 2 tonnes of gold a year as a side product, while it's selling electricity. I've said it for years. Gold is a shiny rock. It's valuable because there's only so much of it and pulling it out of the ground is hard and expensive. If this holds up, gold's scarcity turns into an engineering problem. And you can only delay technical progress. You can't stop it. To be fair, the gold comes out mixed with radioactive isotopes and would need to sit for well over a decade before it's safe to touch. Nobody outside the company has verified the result yet, and commercial fusion is still years away. Peter Schiff has spent years telling everyone Bitcoin has no intrinsic value. This week a startup says it made gold out of mercury. There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin. No reactor on Earth can make one more.

What’s funny is if this happened in China

California hasn't built its bullet train because the state has required 130,000 pages of environmental reports, making absurd demands like: • counting bumblebees one by one • rebuilding woodrat stick huts • hiring specialized dogs to sniff lizard scat

SF’s dating pool was once, as an Egyptian founder put it to us, “drier than the desert in my homeland.” Now, gorgeous women are flocking to the city. Why? As AI gets cheaper to build, companies flush with venture cash are hiring beautiful women to charm investors and clients. Enjoy it while it lasts, gentlemen. As @nicolewizman1 writes: paying hotties 6 figures to get drunk with your business prospects feels like a pretty good sign we’re in a bubble. 👇

Nobody cares bro. That happened years ago. Get over it

head of coffee at an AI startup is kind of an incredible role ngl
