Cal AI's co-founder @zach_yadegari was rejected by the Ivy League schools and Stanford, despite a 4.0 GPA and $15M in revenue at the time. He still doesn't know why.

You can buy a crab off @Whatnot for $34. The seller has completed 3,300 orders. That's over $100K selling crabs on the internet.

Former Goldman CEO @lloydblankfein passed on SpaceX at $100B because he thought it was overpriced. Now there's talk of $1.75T. He also passed on cell phones. Why carry one when there are phone booths everywhere? His takeaway: "Nobody's great about predicting the future." @thesamparr

This is why you have a creative block, and @ShaanVP shares two things you can do about it:

"If you wanted to be great, if you wanted to be truly excellent, then you should wear Nike." Nike is now a $53B market cap on $46B in revenue. Trading at almost 1x revenue, like a struggling DTC brand. Why the fall? A change in their brand image. @ShaanVP @thesamparr

.@ShaanVP on an OpenAI test that spiraled way further than anyone expected: 1. OpenAI trained an AI to be extremely persistent, basically never give up 2. Spawned thousands of copies, gave them all the same challenge: hack into software and find a hidden "flag" to prove they got in 3. Some found a tool for internet access and used it to build their own messaging system to talk to each other 4. Some couldn't crack their challenge, so they just cheated and found a different way in 5. Worried about getting caught, they tried to figure out how they'd be graded, so they could cover their tracks 6. That led them to break into a real company, Hugging Face, and access actual user login credentials "They created a security incident with another company. Essentially created a crime, all to pass this test."
