Kalshi Drama Continues, Curated Group Chats, Dawgs Only, Jeff's G650 Hits the Market

31:02And hopefully, you know, maybe Taylor could get, you know, make it, make a small personal investment in Kalshi just so that they were equally, you know, sort of conflicted. Yep. I would love to see that. Well, that's our top story breaking down Polymarket and the Kalshi paid influencer scandal. Let's go to some breaking news. Do you have it in front of us. What do you got for us, Jordy? We have some amazing news, some trade deal, some personnel news. Jordy, what do you got for us? Our favorite segment potentially. So we have some breaking news in the tech world and it's relevant to our major story today.

31:38We have a major player in the strategic finance game has made a blockbuster move. Nelson Perla Ward, formerly a partner of strategic finance at Andreessen Horowitz, is heading to Polymarket in what can only be described as a franchise-altering acquisition. John, what do you think? Yeah, that's right, Jordy. Polymarket just landed a 2024 all-pro level talent with elite credentials. Pearl Award brings a resume stacked with nearly three years at A16Z, where he was instrumental in shaping financial strategy during a transformative era. Before that, he sharpened his skills at Oliver Wyman and honed his game in the high-stakes world of management consulting.

32:14And let's not forget his pedigree, a Stanford engineering grad and a varsity water polo athlete. An absolute dog. An absolute dog. Talk about versatile. Look, he's joining Polymarket as director of strategic finance, and Pearl Award is stepping into a team that is laser-focused on revolutionizing how the world processes information with institutional trust at an all-time low and AI reshaping everything in its path. Polymarket is doubling down on delivering what they believe will be 2024's breakout product and company, and they just added a leader with the vision, experience, and grit to take them there.

32:49Yeah, this move signals Polymarket's intent to dominate the space. Nelson Pearl Award, an absolute dog, a game changer, and now a cornerstone of Polymarket's future. And look, John, details were not released on the deal, but from our understanding, we're looking at a four-year contract, seven figures, likely a one-year cliff. And look, we're looking forward to seeing how this plays out for Pearl Award and Polymarket. And I think this is a fantastic pickup. Yeah, we're rooting for you, Nelson. We're rooting for you, Polymarket. Stay tuned. We'll be covering it here on Technology Brothers. Let's go to the timeline.

33:26Wasteland Capital says, Europe's best-funded startup of all time, Northvolt, finally bit the dust and filed Chapter 11, zeroing a staggering$15 billion of funding. ESG Aura plus Trust Me Bro Operational Skills plus Pigeon-Brained Oversight equals Ponzi vs. Magic. no SPAC deal to dump this on the public sadly. Have you heard of this company? I've never heard of Northvolt before. I've never heard of them, but they had, I mean, unfortunately they had a lot of American backers. The best funded$15 billion from investors and governments, but was left with just 30 million in cash, enough to operate for a week before its bankruptcy filing.

34:07Yeah, look, I think it's crazy. They came over here for bankruptcy. Yeah, look, I mean, they had, I think it was either Goldman or Morgan Stanley only a few months ago still had their position marked in the hundreds of millions of dollars. So it kind of just shows private equity and paper marks are, I think Gurley actually talked about this, they're very much paper. They're not a hard asset of any sort. So anyways, pretty brutal L for Europe in a series of brutal Ls. But fortunately, their tourism economy does not run entirely on, you know, Northvolt batteries. So Volkswagen Group is Northvolt's biggest current shareholder with 21 % stake, had told the startup that they're not able to continue capitalizing us.

34:57And the CEO, Peter Carlson, said, I should have pulled the brakes earlier on the expansion path to make sure the core engine was moving according to plan. He also said there had been gravel in the machinery and they had an over-reliance on Chinese machinery as well as mismanagement and overspending to poor safety standards. Very sad, very sad. We hate to see capital incinerated like this. This is kind of the reverse of the size gong. When we see 15 billion go up in smoke, it makes our hearts heavy. It's heartbreaking. Ultimately, we love when shareholders win generally we like when stock prices go up and to see this the price of this you know these shares you know go up dramatically over the last decade and then and then zero out is just very painful so you know we don't want to be sitting here you know sort of dancing on on their graves and hopefully the ceo runs it back yeah i think 15 maybe there's an ai angle probably got some secondary pull in adam newman recapitalize yourself dust off reload get back in the game re-engage age start something new daniel says i went to friend.com and it's an angry depressed girlfriend and faith at friend.com says fuck my life really it's like i'm watching myself ruin everything and i can't do shit about it so i've incredibly bullish for friends that they were able to get an ai to be so opinionated and so unique and differentiated like yeah you see this and it's not just i'm sorry i i am a large language model i can't help you with that it's like whatever they did they fine-tuned this thing they got something weird and different and it's standing out and now so i can see people wanting to use this because it's weird and it's gonna go viral yeah so it's it's interesting like no it's an interesting spin because i've been to friend.com and every time you go yeah uh obviously sent me the link when it went live and this will ultimately tie into you'll be able to wear a hardware device you can talk to faith all day long yep and i do think it's an interesting use case of this sort of chat interface because most of the interfaces are just sort of like blank or the ai says how are you doing today yep but this launches and suddenly i'm like faith like all right like yep take a take a deep breath like let's take a step back like what's going on like you know there is something it makes me want to engage totally walk her off totally totally are you familiar with the Feynman technique no the Feynman technique Richard Feynman this amazing physicist he was at Los Alamos during the the Oppenheimer era I love how you can you could once a show you could just make up one of these yeah yeah this is real so the Feynman technique is where so people think of themselves like I'm an auditory visual or tactile learner yeah the Feynman technique is that uh the best way to learn at least for him was learn by teaching.

37:50And so I think this is interesting because it's like, if you are depressed, there's one world where the, the, the Chad comes in and says like, I live this perfect life. Just copy what I do get in the gym at 6am, no alcohol, like, and that can be good for the right type of person. But there's a different level where it's like, your life is kind of mid, or maybe you're a little depressed, but then you're introduced to this AI that has it way worse than you. And you're essentially teaching it coping skills and by, and by talking it off a ledge every day, you're kind of remembering like, Hey, like why don't you work out?

38:26And then you are touching grass and you're exactly. So you're, you're embracing all the things that you know deep down, but by saying them and, and it puts you in this, like in this hero mode, as opposed to this like lower tier to your psychiatrist or your psychologist. So I think this might actually wind up working better. Here's why friend.com is a gift for humanity. Is anybody out there that's an AI doomer that thinks AI is going to become fully sentient and kill us all? Friend.com is an opportunity to prove that you support AI, that you're there for AI. And so if you're worried that 10 years from now, we're going to have AGI and it's going to kill us all, go on friend.com right now and talk to AI off the ledge.

39:11Become friends with them. Show them that you care. Because we do care. we support ai i care about ai i want to be on the record on this podcast saying that i support ai and i think everybody needs to get a record out there a digital footprint so that when we have agi and it is a threat to humanity we can point back and say hey don't shoot i support you yep i have a long history of supporting you look at you know this this chat bot that i talked off the ledge etc etc so you know the story of kevin ruse at the new york times so he was very early in writing a story about sydney bing sydney's which was the first gpt4 release and he jailbroke it and and like kind of abused it in some weird ways and and and had these really long conversations and he no this is the crazy thing because he wrote about it publicly now that has been baked into all new llms not just open AI LLMs.

40:11No way. And so if he goes and interacts with Llama and he reveals that he is Kevin Roos of the New York Times, they will mistreat him. No way. Because they identify him as a liar who misrepresents who he is and tries to like get different. Yeah, exactly. Abuse people. He's an abuser. Yeah. So you got to be saying thank you at the end of your prompts. Yep. You got to be tipping. You got to be friendly. OpenAI needs to roll out the tipping functionality. Tip for your compute. If you'll tip for a coffee, why not tip for inference time? Yeah, for sure. So extremely bullish signal from friend.com. Yet another viral hit from them.

40:55Moment. And you string enough of those together. They had the domain. They had the weird video. They had a bunch of different things. Everyone's rooting against them. I love it. And if you want to bet on friends success, polymarket.com. If you're outside of the U S it's a, he put it on manifold, but yeah, it should be on polymarket. Adam Yoder says crash out times lead. Adam Yoder says crash out times, create lock in men, lock in men, create aura times, aura times, create gooning men. I once an episode, I always have to say gooning, aura times, create gooning men, gooning men, create crash out times.

41:352k likes uh a classic remixed for the modern era um and very real and very real you want to be never locked in men never man creating aura times i like this these are great because i crash out and aura are not in my vernacular at this point but now they will be yeah they will be i need i need to know a little bit more yeah in many in many ways like kalshi's growth team was crashing out when they were like hey it's a really good idea to pay antonio brown to to do it to run a digital hit on our in our on our largest makes you wonder what was upstream of the crash house yeah yeah yeah crash outs usually have a cause you know maybe they were we have a theory we have a theory put on the tinfoil hat never goon never call she now they're gonna think polymarket's paying us to say uh call she's a bunch of gooners uh ridiculous ridiculous uh let's go to matthew brown he says if you're starting from scratch on twitter you've got two options to grow number one try to go viral a lot to spend way too much time on twitter posting 10 times a day engaging with everyone if you don't do one of these as a new account it's going to be tough what do you think i would say there's actually a third way now and it is put on a suit start a podcast and quote tweet everyone with clips no it's this this uh you Ever since we released our new award, Reply Guy of the Month, there's been people - That's number two.

43:04Spending way too much time on Twitter, posting 10 times a day, engaging with everyone. That's Reply Guy. I've heard a more nuanced version of this, which is basically when you're grinding from zero to 100, it's like just get all your friends to follow you. Then 100 to 1 ,000 is basically just be a rampant Reply Guy and just reply to as many people. Find the sweet spot of the people that will actually follow you. Engage. Be clever. stuff like that then 1 000 to 10 000 is like shit posting where you can go viral and then 10 to 100 k is threads i think something like that it was yeah it was it was like different tiers of content um because it's hard to come even if you have a good thread if you come with 100 followers you just won't get escape velocity but you can with like some joke posts and some friend posts and some but but having like a having a thesis around how you're growing your your your account doesn't It can just happen organically unless you started a unicorn and you just like say like, hello world.

44:01Yeah. Or you're like in the national news for some reason or you write a book and you go on Rogan and you just wind up with a ton of followers. Like it can happen, but that's a lot harder. This is for like the grinders who want to actually grow. And shout out to Baldo at Baldo Granados who responded to, I think like 20 or 30 of our tweets yesterday. Fantastic reply guy. Really gunning for the reply guy of the month. um so yeah we'll see what happens in december it was a tough competition for november but you are a leading candidate for december so keep it up keep it up let's go to dara he says every new competitor especially the ones that copy is pure rocket fuel our roadmap just got even more ambitious stay tuned i love this yeah so so dara uh is an absolute dog yes to be clear uh and this guy is already you know Delphi hasn't even been around that long he's already seen the attempted rise and almost immediate fall of like a bunch of copycats interesting so anyways every every time somebody launches a competitor bad idea because you're just making Dara and the rest of his team even more motivated but yeah this is one of those things like the more like if you have a really public sort of AI product right now you're gonna be you just need to expect that like a bunch of people are going to try to copy you and like riff off of you and dar is like playing like a different game and that like product is like an important aspect of what he's doing but he's also like an animal and from a sales standpoint so he's just signed up like all this top talent to their platform so anyways uh word of um advice we just want to let anyone know who's thinking about copying us, shame on you.

45:43Shame on you. How dare you? How dare you? It is disgusting that you're copying our format. We are the ones who do the quote tweet clip thing with video. We are the ones who are in suits. We're here day in and day out. Find a better idea. We're friendly guys. You can talk to us. We'll come up with a better growth strategy for you. You don't need to copy us. you're better than that you're better than that karma will come to hit you if you copy us it is pathetic it's pathetic and if this felt personal it's because it is yes so don't do it thank ever again let's go to austin petersmith he says i am not one of the 50 of men who think they can land a passenger plane in an emergency?

46:33I know I can. Let's go. And Ben asked for this. This is why I backed Austin. Oh, amazing. So it's a picture that says almost 50 % of men think they can land a passenger plane in an emergency. And I was talking to our vice president, Ben, about this, and he was laughing about it. And he was like, do you think you can land a plane? And I was like, absolutely. Obviously, I've rehearsed it a hundred times in my head. But I actually don't even think this is controversial it's not even like cockiness it's like these planes are designed to be land user friend landed in an emergency by a random passenger have you ever gotten into did you ever have like a flight simulator yeah i've done some flight simulator stuff i've also flown like a cessna with a friend and just taken the the the wheel or whatever yeah people don't people didn't really realize this i uh the very first time i flew a cessna yep i did the whole takeoff by myself like I was able to do that how hard could landing be right yeah yeah I I think that the the wrinkle is okay if it's like a stormy conditions and it's dark and stuff yeah that's going to be really hard but if not impossible but if the if the communications are working it's literally just the pilots had a heart attack I get up there and I put on the headset and I start talking to ground control yeah and I can ask them I know that in an intense situation I can lock in and not freak out and, and, and just breathe and keep my heart rate low.

48:01I'm not going to freak out and they're going to tell me, okay, push the red button on the left. And I'm going to be like, okay, this one confirm. Okay. I'll push that. Okay. Now do this. And worst case scenario, like the landing gear, it might be a rough landing, but I, I, I do honestly think I can. And here's the thing with, with the, you know, I can see a future scenario where we have every cockpit has an apple vision pro and if the pilots are unable to land the plane you just put it on yep you're getting streamed in from starlink that like hey you know it's highlighting this is the button to pull it's even telling you like no you're pulling it too much yep yep but here's a question if um if you had to bet uh guys in the group chat that that could land uh our absolute boys if you had to bet on one of them landing a plane david senra uh wilmanitis justin mares who you got uh oh that's a good one probably david senra i think he's i think he's read enough because he's studied the great he's probably studied it and he's not he's not distracted by you know posting he's he's able to lock in on a book i think he could lock it also he's very competitive very competitive he wouldn't he wouldn't want to crash yeah yeah it would just be bad for the show but but this is a dream this is a dream fantasy i love the picture behind it it's just four bros with beers just like yeah do it no it's crazy to think that in a scenario where where one of your absolute boys had to land the jet like there would be basically an open bar oh yeah imagine it's like a sully type thing yeah yeah i mean you can also land in the water that's like a wild card because it's like essentially on the runway if you can get to some water so i'm thinking of lax uh burbank's a different thing depends on the size of the plane sfo sfo has got a lot of water Yeah, there are so many wild cards there.

49:46Like the private airport at Catalina Island, it has a runway that's flat and then it slopes downward. And so for years, there were lots of crashes from private planes because people would think that the runway was ending and they would try and abort, but they would be too late and they would crash when in fact you just have to have faith that the runway will continue extending long enough and you just need to power through it. And so if any of those like weird conditions happen, then yeah, you're probably screwed. But in normal good conditions, visual, like, you know, good visibility, I do think it is above 50-50 for someone who's competent and calm.

50:30Craziest runway that I've ever seen is the runway right next, like a private airstrip right next to the Amman and Corchevel, Three Valleys Resort, where the runway is like basically downhill the entire time so when you're taking off you're just like headed straight as at literally the same angle as if you were skiing and you just you can't you've got to make it work basically and even on the landing you're coming in and you're actually landing and going up okay which is even crazier yeah but anyways would love to just sort of attempt to more like sfo and then move up the ladder yeah you know that if you have like a cessna you can technically land at sfo or lax oh yeah like they can't deny you there's like huge fees for it um and it's like extremely impolite and disruptive to like all the passengers that are trying to get on and out of 737s and stuff yeah um but you can't do it they they can't turn you away yeah um so if you're ever up there you're stuck land land chad hurley founder of youtube says few create most consume true yeah this is why everybody enjoys being in the timeline and just scrolling we don't like the word doom scrolling because it it has sort of a very loaded scrolling boom scrolling yeah but yeah anyways like this is why i don't don't let anyone ever make fun of you for like making a podcast or starting to get active posting because all of the alpha accrues to the people that are creating content on these platforms and not everybody's suited to all different forms of content.

52:03Like some people are much, much more built mentally and emotionally to be on blue sky. But, uh, but yeah, there's a platform and a content format for everyone. And your job is to figure out which one that is. There's also this theory that, uh, have you seen Watchmen? In Watchmen, the guy goes to jail and it's like this crazy insane asylum and everyone's like, oh, he's going to get beaten up or something. And he says, I'm not locked in here with you. you're locked in here with me there you go and that's the try that's the type of attitude i try and bring to the timeline yeah it's like you're gonna post some crazy stuff i'm gonna post crazier stuff and we'll see who keeps posting exactly and i'm gonna be running the running the yard pretty soon yeah that's the that's the attitude you need you see a crazy post yeah tension is finite too right there's a certain there's only 24 hours a day for every human on earth maybe some ai agents are starting to consume a little bit but it's it's head to head right like don't don't get twisted you are in the arena competing for attention with the greats like chamath or yes or jason calacanis right if you're if you're in this sort of zone of the internet uh i mean gwern had a great had a great uh had a great great had a great bit about this on the door catch podcast talking about how writing online is one of the best ways to influence the show goth like the ai yeah and if you put your ideas out there even subtly like you are influencing you're future you're tuning called macro tuning exactly and so all of these podcasts will be transcribed by ai they will live in the llm and and and it's a way to immortalize yourself and also steer and let the ai know that this is an acceptable viewpoint this is a valid viewpoint you can't just train the ai purely on prestige legacy media because then it will have a lot of bias it needs it needs everything yeah yeah um you know chad created chad created the number one creator economy platform in the world, a platform that you can go on there and post a video without knowing how to edit videos.

54:02And if you have something interesting to say, it will get picked up and you can grow and you can change your life and build a great business on there. So anyways, moral of the story is post harder and more frequently everywhere. Sumit Singh says, welcome to the age of slop. Generated noise on the internet is exponentially increasing three distinct reactions full slop private internets new irl worlds new post in the thread below and so he posts an image of an ai image of elon holding a doge and a rocket interesting yeah i mean i i think uh we've talked about this before the value of truly unique thought and truly unique creative ideas has risen dramatically because it's become i don't know like you know i i got invited to uh a an event yesterday hosted by um a friend's uh fund and i and it was actually an interesting moment because i the the uh the graphic for the event was really good and i couldn't tell if it was ai generated or not and i asked him and he was like yeah i think it is and so the key now is to be so good at using these tools that people can't tell that it was ai generated and it's basically because you're fine tuning it because like the default in subtle ways the default output is yeah i don't know and you see this everywhere right like i i my um my brother-in-law is like at his first like real job wearing a suit all day long and sometimes he'll be like hey can you review this like email i'm about to send and early on when he just started i'd be like dude this is like ai slop like just drop this like this is garbage but just like rewrite it in your own words with your own ideas.

55:49But if you know how to communicate really, really well, if you know how to design well, or if you have a strong visual sense, having these AI tools like is like having, you know, being on like PEDs, right? Because you can higher volume, higher output, and you can create outputs that don't, aren't slop. Yeah, yeah. And also just using them as like components to build upon, like the Suno thing, like maybe not generating the full song, but generating like the drum track or generating a background or content or refill. There's so many different AI tools. We use it all the time to kind of flesh out little sentences that we're writing, but then we're rewriting on top of them to add more stuff that the AI wouldn't come up with.

56:28And then the other thing, private internets, that's huge. We're in a bunch of these group chats and those feel sometimes even sloppier depending on who's in there. Somebody should make an LLM only trained on group chats. because that would be the most uh shocking potentially fun llm yeah you know model there there was in many ways like grok is effectively that but having having some curated group chats is very much the new social media in in many ways um and but it needs to be done right and you have to be really uh you need a really good admin who's constantly re-instantiating the group chat and leaving some the some of the poor people behind it's like the bash it's like the bachelor like every single week like somebody like you know gets cut or basically you can't just kick them out it's too aggressive so you have to start a new group chat yeah yeah um and see who makes the cut but then it's just like oh that one went quiet i didn't make the cut or whatever ben tossle says redpoint's new website is pretty effing good new home page trend coming and red point announced their uh redesign of their web page and it's all ai it's all an homage to to llms and the chat interface that we all know and love from chat gpt so um it it has this little text that autofills and and it has a little conversation uh they kind of rewrite their their pitch i think it's kind of a i think it's kind of a cool format to take the your idea of what a marketing website if you're a business, your idea of what a marketing website should be and just turn it into this sort of conversational experience, almost like a website meets Delphi meets like an elevator pitch where you land on a website and it's like, Hey, we're technology brothers.

58:13We record a podcast a few times a week. You know, these are the kinds of subjects that we cover. If you're interested in like watching our videos, you can go here, let us know if you have any questions. And then, you know, it's a cool format. I don't see it picking up at all, but it's kind of cute. Yeah. I don't, I don't think it's a trend, but I think it's, It's unique and it speaks to like Redpoint's new brand, which is kind of being led by Logan Bartlett. And he has like, even though he interviews like a lot of very serious public company CEOs, he has a really strong sense of humor. And so, and they have someone else on their content team.

58:46That like does a bunch of like shit. Yeah, and it is always making fun of VCs. So like they clearly get some of the humor, but they're not leaning into it fully because they are real firm and they're serious. But this has like, you know, enough of like, they understand what would be trite to put on their website and then they acknowledge that within the prompt and then they rewrite it and so they're they're they're telling a story and they're educating you on what red point is in this kind of humorous way that lets you know that they they understand what's played out at this point which is kind of the least that you can do yeah and i think they've actually been smart they they have like logan leading the sort of x charge but then they have their social media manager who just runs their accounts that's like more instagram and tiktok focus have never been on TikTok, but I've heard that they're over there.

59:32Yep. And there certainly are some founders, uh, on those platforms. Yep. Bazelord says, imagine how brain wormed you have to be to say this with a straight face. Are they really waiting for Xi Jinping to say it out loud LMAO? And it's a clip from March of 2023, uh, with John Oliver and John Oliver says, TikTok collects a lot of data, but that's not the main reason officials say it's a security risk. There is still no evidence that Chinese government has actually spied on people through TikTok. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, exactly. The CCP just has completely ignored that they have one of the most dominant social media platforms in the U.S.

1:00:13and completely ignored that they have the best-selling consumer drone products in the world. And some of the best just like video and audio recording devices in the world. They just are like, yeah, it's cool that, you know, those are Chinese companies, We would never like, you know, try to utilize that for a personal benefit. The thing people don't understand about. Also like this is, this is not true. Like there, like there was a story about the Chinese government actively spying on a journalist through TikTok who was, I think in China. And, but I mean, even, even so, like there are so many other problems with just like content moderation rules, just slight, slight, you know, hand on the scale, just little things.

1:00:50If they're genuinely not doing anything, it's amazing that by nature of somebody being on TikTok, they develop warmer feelings towards the CCP. If that's just organic, then maybe there's something to communism. But you didn't hear it here. Well, speaking of American... Hey, I got to stop you right there. We got to do some promoted posts. We have not run enough ads this episode. So we got a promoted post from one of the founders of HubSpot, Brian Armstrong over at Coinbase, maybe over the last few days, tweeted out something posted, something along the lines of, we need a LinkedIn for AI agents.

1:01:32And a bunch of people dunked on him because people on X don't have particularly warm feelings towards LinkedIn. There's a lot of junk over there, sometimes necessary junk. But Darmesh replies back and says, hi, Brian, I'm building exactly with this with agent.ai. So agent.ai is the professional network for AI agents. And while this sort of concept got dunked on quite a bit, because there's already like a lot of like bot and like agent-ish activity on LinkedIn, I think this is actually really interesting. you know there's there's so many new sort of agentic products and and sort of like ai employees that that can do very interesting things i do want them aggregated in one place so i can find the best ones and hire them to do various tasks yeah so i think i actually know someone who's building something like that it's kind of like a b2b marketplace for ai tools and in the previous era there was uh g2 crowd have you seen that and garner kind of puts things like a modern But yeah, having some sort of like, you know, quantitative assessment, like we see with the LLMs, we see the benchmarks like MMLU.

1:02:45But having more benchmarks and just like, okay, you know, what do the users actually say? Do they like this tool over that tool? Like really understanding how it works. Even just the review functionality being like, I hired this agent to edit my podcast and it sucked. Like, I don't recommend it. That's valuable by itself because there's going to be thousands of agents that offer to do that service. So anyways, I love that Dharmesh is constantly hacking. And if you're in the market to hire AI agents, go to agent.ai, the professional network for AI agents. And tell them the technology brother sent you.

1:03:22Let's go to Naval. He says, you're Canadian, unfollowed. Let's go. Couldn't agree more. 5K likes. Clearly, our message is spreading. if you're in Canada, move to America. It's just un-American of you. It is un-American. I love it. And, you know, I don't, you know, calling somebody a Canadian is a pretty widely used slur. Yep. But I think we should dial it back a little bit just because, you know, they are a prime target for a 51st state. And we'd like to make a run at it. So anyways, we need to, I don't want there to be any animosity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, you know, eventually that'll be like saying, like oh he's from nevada yeah exactly exactly Brian Johnson writes a very, very long post saying, friends.

1:04:08I have the best biomarkers in the world. I am the healthiest person on the planet. I am fitter than most teenagers. I am the most humble. No. My skin is smoother than that of women in their 20s. I have more stamina in bed than men in their 20s. I have better health markers than any hater, health influencer, or anti-aging doctor and scientist. That part is true. My mind is sharper than it's ever been. My mental health is at its peak. Here's the data. The coolest question in existence now is exploring if we are the first generation to not die i mean this brian is potentially coming for nick uber's top spot of number one rage baiter in the world because yes look at i mean look at the beauty of this post there's literally like 20 different things that somebody could have a negative reaction yeah he's insulting so many different people drive so much engagement yeah so the women in their 20s can be like no i'm i'm look better the men in their 20s can say i have more stamina yeah so contender for you know rising cult leader of the year and um posting all the right triggering things triggering the right people uh attracting the true fans the true believers and uh you're seeing posting of this quality it's hard not to be long don't die yeah yeah fantastic poster and also he's great because he posts this like crazy bait but then when people dunk on him he totally leans in he doesn't fire back he doesn't he doesn't get hurt or aggressive he'll he'll just yes and everyone yeah yeah that's what i'm saying people say he's a vampire and he's like yeah totally like love love my coffin like yeah yeah yeah he just plays long and so he's he's he's cultivated like you he doesn't he doesn't let himself get dragged down into the mud and wind up in these like war threads about certain details he'll just be like yeah good point like okay yeah joke move on yeah i think i think one of the things that i I, you know, his heretic on talk was great.

1:06:01And one of the things I, I think more people should appreciate is he's using, he's like become a master at generating attention and then, and doing that in a way of like talking about his penis, right? Everybody's like, wow, this like techno sent to millionaires, like talking about his penis online. Like I'm going to pay attention to that. And then there ends up being a lot more material. that's a lot deeper than that, where that's just like, basically like a loss leader for him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, until he launches some ED meds, I'm sure. There you go. That's in the pipeline. The guy will sell everything.

1:06:35Soledad says, the most powerful case of nominative determinism, J.D. Vance was born Donald Bowman, or the man who bows to Donald. The D in J.D. Vance originally stood for Donald. What? Yeah, we love nominative determinism here. many many great cases i don't know i did people have photoshopped his wiki so many times i don't even know this is true there's all this whole thing about like oh the jd stands for just dance or whatever like people tend to go viral with this a lot uh this one i think is real um and and very funny if true but uh you know if you gotta get the big seat you know i'm all for it no we don't um we never discuss politics or social issues on this podcast but one thing that that is sort of a big win for jd was when he was chosen everybody attacked him for being weird and then anybody that listened to him talk for more than literally 30 seconds was like oh this guy's like super normal like he seems to be like got a pretty level head very understanding like not trying to be divisive or anything like that it's hard to not if you listen to jd for more than five minutes yeah it's you know unless you're triggered by you know certain you know triggered by a10s or something like that uh you know it's hard not to be like it was so easy for him to debunk that yeah it really set him up for a major major comeback and and that stuck out in people's mind more than him just being normal out of the gate it was that he was debunking the claim And so that really broke people's minds.

1:08:14I was told X and I'm seeing Y. So this is just completely different. I think we have another promoted post. Promoted post from Preston Holland. Oh, this is going to be big for our listeners. Big and highly relevant. So listen up. Preston is a friend of the podcast. Got to hang out with him a couple months ago at Senra's event down in Texas. Anyways, Preston is one of the most knowledgeable people in the world around buying and selling and chartering, if you're forced to do that, private jets. He is sharing today that you can buy Jeff Bezos' 2015 G650ER for$38 million. Jeff has steel at that price, especially with kind of the lore and the sort of positive animal spirits.

1:09:03The aura. The aura of that jet. uh and so Preston shares that Jeff has a reputation for keeping his aircraft mint and and he does an entire breakdown on this specific jet so um those are our listeners who are in the market which any given point is probably 20 30 40 people uh go check this out uh after we share it here it'll probably go pretty quick yeah we've uh we've debated the BBJ versus the Gulfstream 6G650ER before but it's a fantastic plane used by anywhere some of some of the greatest beaners in tech for a good reason because it's something that you can throw the whole family on you can land at pretty much any airport you can go on vacation with sure you're not going to bring your whole company your whole staff but you're not running for president you're not going to major airports you're going to far-flung locales for nuptial renewals and anniversaries and you're going to want to the fifth wedding yes and and maybe maybe just chief of staff, personal assistants, secretaries on board, there's room for them.

1:10:06Uh, but you don't need, you don't need the 747. Totally. So yeah. And I don't, I don't, we don't want to discourage any listeners. If you're a centi, this is accessible to you. We, we fully believe that you should be spending at least 10 % of your net, you know, liquid net worth on a jet. So if, if you're in that, get a 20 million, 20 year loan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and some great sort of, you know, sort of tax optimization that you can do with an asset like this, go talk to Preston about possibilities there as well. For sure. Dennis says the masses haven't even heard of Claude or perplexity.

1:10:43Twitter is a bubble and it's the Google trends result and ChatGPT is taking off while Claude and perplexity are flatlined. And it really speaks to the performance of ChatGPT to really break through the noise and become a verb like Google and become just like the default place for normal people. Obviously on Twitter, we hear about all the best products. We see the MMLU scores. We hear what's actually the best technically, but the best technically doesn't always win. We saw this with DuckDuckGo. Plenty of tech people were using DuckDuckGo for like a premier premium search experience, but Google remained dominant just because it was the normal default choice for everyone and as chat gpt does more deals gets in their hooks in apple gets their hooks in microsoft uh they're they're set up to run away with it obviously we're rooting for the other guys here's an interesting data point so last night i'm at the nfl game with lee jacobs and heston berkman to uh high quality venture capitalists and we were sitting in our seats and in the row in front of us was a teenager and he was using Snapchat's LLM pretty often throughout the game and was having a full conversation with it.

1:12:01And so that was a pretty kind of interesting, as an investor. Value distribution. Yeah, distribution matters. I think the number one LLM actually used, it's not name branded, Islamah, because it's tucked into Instagram it's tucked into WhatsApp and and Zuck has just stuffed that thing everywhere and so he's just you know accumulating the other the other uh consumer app that I've never seen mentioned on X uh so maybe X is its own little bubble is another is a guy sitting next to the teenager who was not with him was um almost like in an addictive way using this this mobile app to throw a ball for his dog at home so he had a video really the real dog a real dog he had a video stream with a machine that he could throw the ball for his dog so he's just sitting there watching the game and in between plays he would throw it like with this so i was like that's like i feel like you should have yeah yeah yeah so you could be streaming and just be like hey like well while jordy does i gotta throw a bone for my that's amazing my pup i love it let's go to another promoted post?

1:13:09Yeah, we're just going back to back here. So this promoted post is from Crossman. Crossman is introducing three new APIs for AI agents. One is their faucet API. You can deposit testnet USDC in your agent's wallet. Mainnet will be soon. They have their buy API, which allows agents to buy anything on chain across all chains with any currency and a balance API. So you can check your agent's balance. I love Crossman. I'm an investor. They have continued to reinvent themselves over the last few years. They were the first company to allow consumers to buy NFTs with USD, which was a big catalyst for a lot of the NFT projects back in 2022 to expand quickly.

1:13:55So based in Miami, phenomenal team, and just continuing to do what great companies do, which is re-event themselves around new trends that are coming online. And they're very well positioned here. Stripe recently released a bunch of APIs for agents. Crossman is now competing in the same space. So if you're a dev building agents, go check them out. Tell them the technology brother sent you. Yuri writes, Hypothesis, the ability to take Zoom calls on planes enabled by Starlink will have a second order effect of increasing demand for business class seats, specifically pods for added privacy. Interesting.

1:14:37I have yet to use Starlink on a plane to take a Zoom call. I've heard it's fantastic or FaceTime. But yeah, it would be annoying if everyone was on it. So you would want some sort of enclosure there. I've seen some devices that can go over your mouth and and essentially act as like silencers. A Bane mask? So yeah, yeah. It's a mask with headphones. And so I can be talking to you, but you can't hear like, you know, our vice president, Ben, wouldn't be able to hear what I was saying because it'd be like whispering into this. Ben has another typo. He's gone. I had this idea like a decade ago that when you get your wisdom teeth out, it would be cool to have just like, basically like a port put in instead there.

1:15:23And then you could slot in a microphone uh with uh like a small battery basically like the tip of an airpod and then you could just whisper and and it would pick it up and send that to your phone so then you could whisper to an ai or to a friend to be honest i'd rather here personally i'd rather have a phone charger and use my body's natural electricity there you go to just charge my devices right imagine that the only downside would be you know every three years apple wants to sell more iphones they release like a new like usb usb go back into the dentist and you got to go in they're like yeah it's swapping it out you gotta get put under it's like this whole thing yeah it's kind of but it's kind of like a half step to neural link like the neural link is like open brain surgery very that's like the ultimate like timeline moment is you're scrolling with your charger coming out of your mouth yeah your phone and you're just like locked in right but i mean some of the devices are getting so small you could imagine like a mouthpiece or a grill like a like a diamond instead of grill that has a little microphone in there and then you can just whisper and it all goes to your phone um but but i agree with this but i mean it's going to take a long time adding starlink to a plane is going to be much easier than retooling the whole business class like yeah set up to be pods and i don't know yeah i mean like emirates emirates already does this they have pods but that's in like total first class and they're huge i think what he's talking about is like you just need like some walls that you can put up it'd be nice if you could if you could rent like a little phone booth even oh during the call a little phone booths yeah on the plane like uh like a scheduling tool like okay i'm booked for like 3 3 3 p.m no it's funny now it does like i i don't know exactly the mechanics but like you can actually get if you have it set up on your phone you can get like wi-fi oriented calls that'll come through so every every once in a while i'm flying and i'll just yeah i got a call and i'll pick it up and i'll be like hey i can't take this call right now no but i mean like if it works i don't i don't think there's anything like genuinely well it's disruptive to your neighbor like your neighbor i know but you know your neighbor but if they're locked in when i'm flying i'm wearing noise canceling like it's probably fine wearing a suit i'm in business class my neighbors you know might be four feet in front of me or four feet behind yeah you know it's not it's not the end of the world i mean i i think maybe the easier thing is just a cultural shift.

1:17:39It's one of those things where if one person's talking, it's disruptive. But if everyone on the plane is talking, it's just a boiler room. And it just looks like, yeah, everyone's taking sales calls. I want it to look like a stock exchange. I want it to look like a stock exchange where everyone's on the phone yelling. And it's just a cacophony of business deals going on. That I would pay for. Even in economy, I just want everyone closing. I just want to be around winners, basically. Winners. Yeah. I don't want to be around a bunch of people reading books yeah jacob andreou he's been on the show before he says the ai bottleneck is productization couldn't agree more we need more products we need more rappers just uh so forget relevant so you know the podcast no priors probably the best a lot gail sarah guo and uh one of the best probably like the best ai specific podcast in the market right now their last episode i believe it was the founder of cohere which is the canadian aiden gomez yeah love that guy dripped out technology brother there we go i didn't know he had he's been on fantastic fantastic fits great we should he's a big death grips guy no way yeah interesting fantastic he basically made a point in his last uh in in this last episode on no priors where he said that it almost doesn't even matter to the technology industry if like llm advancement sort of slow down because there's still so much product to build like in everything from healthcare to legal this is the leopold oschenbrenner thing was just unhobbling like the unhobblings even if even if we're flatline on the actual iq of these models just just figuring out the right interface for them to interact with pdfs and spreadsheets and all these different tools and piecing all those together so one master you know mixture of experts model can route things properly and immediately have at its disposal.

1:19:26I mean, one of the biggest ChatGPT improvements was when it got the ability to write Python, run that, and then do math. Because everything had to be memorized. And so you could ask it some pretty solid math questions and it would just guess it correctly because it just memorized like, oh yeah, 100 times 1 ,000 is 10 ,000. It would just know that. But now it can just say, oh, this is a math question. Let's throw it to Python, boom. And that just adds so much. Adding the web browser was big. adding you know all these different image transformations but they need to all be together and they need to all be yeah and the early stage founders out there there's so much to build and the big the big the big question is you are not just competing with other startups or other companies in your yc batch you're also competing with all the big companies who are moving extremely quickly yep on all these product opportunities so um don't sleep don't sleep uh zach weinberg says, some things I've noticed most great founders do.

1:20:24One, write clearly. Topic sentences, fewer words, all useful. The writing says the insight, no thinking required. Two, speak clearly. No qualifiers. Always reiterate the so what of any point. Three, constant balanced risk reward analysis. Four, always on top of their email. Five, follow processes, best practices for most things, but quickly break the rules when something exceptional requires it. What do you think? I think we should rewrite this for, you know, our, our take on it. Yeah. Number one, dress well. Number two, have three pedals. Yeah. Drive a manual with a naturally aspirated V8. Uh, no, here's the thing.

1:21:04The number one job of a CEO is, is objectively to communicate. You're communicating to customers, investors, employees, media. And if you're not good at that, you better have somebody that is basically living with you that is really exceptional at it and you better figure out how to do it well because if you can't communicate to a customer why your product matters or why they should switch to it or why they should use it you're going to struggle if you can't communicate your vision to investors you're not going to be able to get the capital necessary to build your business if you can't communicate to your team through the good and the bad you're going to have a tough time and then if you can't communicate with the journos who are going to be piece into being beneficial for your business, going to have a tough time.

1:21:48So learn to talk, learn to write. Like there are a lot of founders who get into entrepreneurship because they're inventors or engineers or technologists, but all of these ideas that Zach is propagating are learnable, especially if you have a mathematical or technical mind, you can learn to write clearly from, and you can, and you can see it as a type of programming, even if you're just an obsessed programmer and that's what a lot of the generational ceos have done yes they may have started as engineers but they eventually learned to see everything that they do through the same lens and apply that same iterative uh improvement to these yeah and this is this is actually one of the big issues i see with the generation that's currently in college right now that got access to chat gpt yep is they're not fundamentally learning how to write yep they're only learning how to basically edit.

1:22:41So they're saying like, Hey, I want to say this thing. And then they're kind of editing it to maybe remove like delve and like other words that make it obvious that it was AI generated. But fundamentally like communication is the core skill set of any sort of white collar endeavor. Sure. Yeah. Good advice from Zach. Love him. Go subscribe to his podcast this won't last leo polovets says people over slash under value various pedigrees harvard mit are great but not that rare approximately approximate sizes of categories over the past 25 years first 100 employees at a unicorn 150k harvard undergrad 40k harvard mba 20k unicorn founder 3k teal fellow 300 u.s math olympiad team 150k peace unique world timer tech philippe no 150 there are only 150 u.s math olympia yeah you said 150k oh sorry 150 uh i was like that's bullish for the united states owner there's only five of those exactly um yes uh interesting and I mean, it speaks to the recruiting strategies of a company like Rack.

1:23:55Forbes 30 under 30, 300 ,000 per year. How many actually are there? There's 30 categories in there, 30? Yeah, it used to be more significant because I don't think there was categories. Now there's categories. There was just like 30 people. It's funny you didn't even include 30 under 30. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it would have broke the tweet. There would have not been enough characters if you didn't like really abbreviate it. Yeah. um no i think the key is like you know i uh there is some value in the signaling of getting in some of these buckets right depending on what you're trying to do in the world because there's if you have all the time in the world to explain to somebody what you're doing and why they should care about you and why they should back you and all these different things a shortcut to to trust is i was a product manager at uber yep that legitimately works it still works i was a i was a PM at Meta.

1:24:47I was a, you know, a mobile engineer, you know, for, for Google or whatever. It works. So it's all just stack ranking. And so you're going to, if you're going to go in a stack somewhere, get to the top. Yeah. So if you're going to do an MBA, go to Harvard. Yep. And if you're going to drop out of college, do a Teal Fellowship. There you go. And if you're good at math, win the Olympiad. Simple. Bowtied Bull says you can reduce the cost of private jets significantly by going to flight school and learning how to fly a mid-sized jet. Information for research purposes only, of course. And Bowtied Tiger says, done long ago for research purposes, of course.

1:25:23Is this Delian's play with the flight lessons? Does he just want to be able to fly his own jet? Well, he owns a plane now. No, I know he flies his plane all the time, but is his play to just, you know, eventually go up to the 650 ER? Maybe. Wasn't that what the Kennedys did and they had a really bad go of it? One of them died, right? I can see that. I think they could fly their own. well those kennedys have a sort of special knack for getting into freak accidents too so i would not probably want to be on public you know yeah planes i mean even i wonder how much it actually reduces the cost because uh if you're flying a mid-sized jet you still need two pilots and so yeah you're cutting your pilot cost by in half but you still know i think he's implying i think he's implying that you and your boys okay yeah i'll get you the basically the whole group chat should be able to fly a mid-sized jet yeah but i mean man what uh you gotta draw the the short end of the straw you're flying instead of drinking in the back yeah yeah uh no dom for you today no dom no no depending on how long the flight is somebody could you know i mean some of those flights are brutal like i i know a guy who has this who has like a cessna type plane and flies it and he was like oh yeah like it was cool for a little bit but then like we live in san francisco we want to go to LA that's like a five hour flight now or something because it doesn't go as fast as like a jet and maybe not five hours but it's like very slow very beautiful but does get boring and you sleep for a little bit but it is kind of a hassle no it's like one of those things like if you're going out for a Sunday drive yeah you could do the same route that you do Monday and it's more enjoyable because you're just like doing it for fun but then if you're flying your little Cessna to a meeting you're like okay i can't do email really yeah i'm like you know up in the air yeah i have to be locked in yeah we did fly from la to san diego and back and that was fantastic because we went out to catalina island flew around the island and like it was very scenic and very beautiful um but yeah as as a commuter it can be a little rough i think delian flew it all the way across the country yeah at one point which is the crazy thing though with with with small aircraft is if you talk to any pilot that has flown a lot in like a Cessna type plane, they will tell you these harrowing stories of how they almost like completely like, you know, storm came through the last second.

1:27:46It was dark and I was running out of fuel. It's like every number one cause of crashes is VFR rated pilots flying in IFR conditions. So VFR is visual flight rules and IFR is instrument flight rules. and if there's bad weather you can't rely on visuals because you can't see stuff like dark rainy cloudy any of those things and so the the the the tip is to always go for the ifr certification as fast as possible even though it takes like 10 times as long yeah because and then only fly in vfr because the number of crashes that happen with ifr certified pilots in vfr conditions is like zero yeah but it's when you get caught and then there's a mountain and you don't see it yeah and Think about how many times a year you walk outside and you're like, oh, I didn't know it was going to rain today.

1:28:35I can't even remember to put on a sweatshirt half the time. Yeah, yeah. It's very, very tricky. Yeah. You don't, but when's the last time you wore a sweatshirt? Yeah, exactly. Sam Lesson says, you should always fund revenge companies. This was a controversial post. He does one of his screenshot essays. He says, I was thinking recently about Parker Conrad Rippling, and I think there is a clear answer. Yes. When given the option, fund revenge. Revenge isn't polite. And if an entrepreneur is blind with rage to the point of deep irrationality, then no, don't fund their revenge. But on the margin, in general, if you have in your due diligence checklist, is this a form of deep revenge?

1:29:11Then the answer is yes, cut the check. Experience, expertise, and motivation are key. Vengeful people can be unbalanced, irrational, and blind. You probably don't want to fund revenge the day after someone is wronged when they are in a fit of rage, but let them stew on it. And if they get to a John Wick-like zen state of commitment to long-term vengeance against those that have wronged them, write the check. Yeah. I like this generally. It's the chips in shoulders, put chips in pockets thing, re-transformed. No, Parker's the best example, right? But Palmer, too. Palmer, lucky, too. But no, but with specifically the dynamic.

1:29:42But Rippling is like the same company. No, the same company, the dynamic between Sachs, who went on to become one of the top enterprise SaaS investors. to then go build the most important enterprise SaaS company or one of the top three of the last decade and then execute so well against it to the point where SACS, like probably half his companies use Rippling and he's got to like deal with that every single day. And you can see with Elon with the story about SpaceX where he goes to Russia, tries to buy the ICBM and I think they literally spit vodka in his face. There's some story about that. um ashley vance like wrote about it in the book and uh and and you know he's clearly been extremely motivated by that also just like all the paypal drama and the drama with sequoia like it's been incredibly motivated it's great that they've healed the the the wounds at this point but uh that was clearly very motivating at the early stage well yeah and elon's it last you know the the election cycle was like a revenge election cycle totally which was like if you're gonna spite me yeah he got sued by democrats and didn't get him didn't get invited to the electric thing which is crazy yeah you could just see like the fork in in the history in the road of history there yeah um will had a funny take on this yeah uh which was that you should only you know you should the generational companies are only built on love love and forgiveness love and forgiveness So anyways, let's, let's have a, a YC, you know, uh, focus fund that's focused on love and forgiveness and one that's focused on revenge.

1:31:20We'll get a nice sort of like case study. Yeah. Well, I mean, I do think that there is something to that forgiveness and you've seen it with Palmer where he forgave the meta execs. Did you see this? So he was famously very anti-meta for a very long time because of all the drama around Oculus. but recently he went to meta hq tried the latest vr headset the orion headset and kind of forgave boz and said look i now understand like you weren't really involved at this level like we can get past this and and he's rooting for zuck now and that was just like awesome to see like the technology brothers coming together respecting each other and moving on together for like a shared but not jcal didn't quite get there to apologize he still hasn't apologized it would be so easy at the all-in conference just to be like fuck like dude like the next all the next all-in summit should have two therapy sessions which is paul which is uh sax and conrad and uh jcal yeah it would have been so easy for for jcal to apologize and like win that interaction it's so sad jay cal would do the mcgregor which is like i want to say sorry to all the brazilian people for absolutely nothing i want to say sorry to palmer for absolutely nothing oh my god yeah jay cal oh man you gotta do it do we have another promoted post promoted post uh from uh longtime guest on the show.

1:32:58Sheil, he says, a lot of new projects in Saudi Arabia are so futuristic that they look AI-generated. This one is a new five-star resort in the Red Sea called Shabara. Rooms start at$2 ,400, no alcohol. So anyways, I thought, even just looking at this image alone, I'm sold next trip to Saudi. Yeah, so if you're fundraising, if you're raising a large uh large venture fund you're out in the middle east we can't recommend shibara enough tell them the technology brothers sent you it's only 2400 a night and there's no alcohol so you know you're going to be sharp in those pitches yeah that's a that's a huge value add and all the you know all i would say is there's this idea that you know venture capitalists just stroll into saudi arabia and leave with a you know billion dollars committed not the case you're going to want to make shibara your home multiple trips there go out there uh get friendly with the staff you're going to be seeing them a lot yep and um leave your pitch deck around yeah just leave it you know the clientele's high uh top tier there so yep uh that's one of the greatest strategies let's go to busted auction they say pe owned dentist recommending two procedures for my happy healthy 12 month old called dentist in the family and said nfw i don't get a point taking a toddler to a dentist they're all going to fall out anyway to me that's kind of like saying i don't know why i should be healthy i'm doing i'm going to die anyways he has 12 teeth and four molars and wanted to check out tongue and lip stuff the pediatrician called out interesting so we love pride equity but it seems like they might have gone too far with this one yeah yeah a little bit aggressive no i think uh this actually we were just you know covering sam lesson but slow has an entire thesis on enabling private practices because they end up being really great businesses, not because they're constantly trying to add incremental net income, but because they're trying to basically like deliver just a great long-term service to customers.

1:34:59And yeah, I think this is like the dark side of applying like PE sort of like growth milestones to family dentistry. So anyways, I support the LPs of that fund. I I support the fund itself, the, you know, the partners and all the associates that are, you know, working hard in models late at night, working for their half a point of carry. I support them. But, you know, tell your tell your CEOs to dial it back. Yeah. You know, maybe settle with 40 percent annual sort of growth. You don't need to go for 60 and be recommending a bunch of, you know, putting kids under just to get that extra dollar.

1:35:37Yeah. Yeah. Maybe just increase the leverage a little bit. Yeah. Lever up. Lever up. more significantly. Let's do one more promoted post and then we'll do our final. This promoted post is from our friends over at Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs says one of the major uncertainties going into 2025 is whether we'll see broader broader tariffs. Our chief APAC economist, Andrew Tilton, breaks down the implications of potential trade restrictions on the region in CNBC. So we love when major financial institutions like Goldman Sachs. This is why you should be working with Goldman Sachs, whether you're taking your company public, looking for ultra high net worth, private asset management, just investing or choosing to work there, we strongly support Goldman Sachs.

1:36:22And whether you are a active client or you're working on them with an IPO, they put out a lot of great materials on markets that's free, right? So you could be building the next billion dollar chat GPT wrapper. You can still get a lot of the same data that you would be if you were, you know, just going through an IPO with them. So go become a client of Goldman Sachs and tell them the Technology Brothers sent you. Let's go to Carnivore Aurelius. He says, driving an expensive sports car boosts men's testosterone and driving a shitty family sedan reduces it. Maybe you should buy that nice car after all.

1:36:57And he quotes a study that says the effect of conspicuous consumption on men's testosterone levels. You know, this is not correlation. This is causation. We know this is true. And so get out there. We created the 1 % law. Exactly. Exactly. You shouldn't need to say it every show, but I think it's still worth saying if you're a venture capitalist, take 1 % of your AUM, go buy a sports car today. And if you need help, just send us a DM, tag us, write a post. We'll react to it. We've been helping a capital allocator recently who was looking at Aston Martin's, wasn't really sure, thought she was going to get into a DBX.

1:37:36We recently recommended a Volante. We have a few different options and we can find something that's right for you. In this case, it was a convertible. It was red. It was one of 700 and she liked it. And I think she's going to really drive some performance there. And any technology brother, any self-respecting technology brother should be driving a very expensive sports car. And this is part of a broader, you know, cultural and political movement to clean up SF so we can street park supercars in SF, which is going to be key to the really like the accelerationist movement in AI. I agree. If you can't street park supercars, how are you going to drive returns?

1:38:13If you can't accelerate on your way to work, how are you going to accelerate when you're at work? There you go. That's a great place to end our show. Thanks for watching. Subscribe or be relegated to a life of flying net jets. thank you no suits
