🚨BREAKING: OpenAI abandons plan to transition into a for-profit company.
– The nonprofit will retain control
– The for-profit LLC becomes a Public Benefit Corp

World-class performers don’t have superpowers.
The rules they’ve crafted for themselves allow the bending of reality to such an extent that it may seem that way, but they’ve learned how to do this, and so can you.
These “rules” are often uncommon habits and bigger questions.
In a surprising number of cases, the power is in the absurd. The more absurd, the more “impossible” the question, the more profound the answers.
Take, for instance, a question that Peter Thiel likes to ask himself and others:
“If you have a 10-year plan of how to get [somewhere], you should ask: Why can’t you do this in 6 months?”
For purposes of illustration here, I might reword that to:
“What might you do to accomplish your 10-year goals in the next 6 months, if you had a gun against your head?”
Now, let’s pause.
Do I expect you to take 10 seconds to ponder this and then magically accomplish 10 years’ worth of dreams in the next few months?
No, I don’t.
But I do expect that the question will productively break your mind, like a butterfly shattering a chrysalis to emerge with new capabilities.
The “normal” systems you have in place, the social rules you’ve forced upon yourself, the standard frameworks—they don’t work when answering a question like this.
You are forced to shed artificial constraints, like shedding a skin, to realize that you had the ability to renegotiate your reality all along.
It just takes practice.

"There are three things which build and maintain civilization throughout time: pure air, pure water, and pure food. And as an eternal truth I say unto you, that there are three things which bring the end of civilization, even the mightiest that have ever been and shall ever be, from the beginningless beginning to the endless end of all time: impure air, impure water, and impure food."

The SEC is closing its investigation into @opensea. This is a win for everyone who is creating and building in our space. Trying to classify NFTs as securities would have been a step backward—one that misinterprets the law and slows innovation.
Every creator, big or small, should be able to build freely without unnecessary barriers.

Daily reminder that the purpose of blockchains was not to replace intermediaries… with slightly less bad and funnier intermediaries 🌞☕️
