Hosted a spelling bee this week!
After hosting a bunch of events in sf I think I had the most fun at this
Thanks to the excellent judges @sparab22, @pratyushbuddiga and @hathwar607
@ruslanjabari and @fdotinc for the wonderful space and set up
@KeatonInglis and @Ianmakesmarkets for setting up our Kalshi market (that had over $1k of volume!)
And congrats to our winner (of the $29 prize pot), Kevin Moch!
See you next year for round 2!!

If anyone feels like this for the low price of $100 I’ll have a 30 minute conversation with you and tell you exactly what your problem is
I am tall, kind, generous, funny, well-read and -traveled, great in bed, staunchly anti-misogynist, love animals, prioritize women, and make $250k a year
And I have no prospects of romantic relationships and will almost surely end up alone

In sf, it’s important to have “tech friends” and “normal friends”
Tech friends:
- understand why you’re here
- will inspire you to work harder
Normal friends:
- remind you the rest of the world doesn’t give a shit about any of the above
- love a beer

Some uncontrollable dating requirements I have:
- has a sister
- from a matriarchal family
- parents still together
- played a sport at a high level growing up and continues to play recreationally now
Stop worrying about height, start worrying about if they grew up well

I just went across downtown Austin in a Tesla Robotaxi.
It was ONE FIFTH the price of an Uber!!

Yall are hating but AI apps for women would CRUSH and youre all too nerdy to see it
I am excited to announce that Arcarae has $2.5M in funding and I am finally hiring.
Arcarae’s mission is to help humanity remember and unlock the power each individual holds within themself so they can bring into reality their unique, authentic expression of self without fear or compromise.
Our research endeavors are designed to support this mission via computationally modeling higher-order cognition and subjective internal world models. Specifically, we are building the computational models of the other side of intelligence that everyone has neglected:
Intuition.
Our evolution is anchored in our current product, an immersive universe for self-discovery, and MIRROR, our AI research implementing cognitive inner-monologue in LLMs, reducing sycophancy by 21% on avg. & up to 156% vs. SOTA models.
This marks Arcarae’s transition from a solo endeavor into a full-fledged consumer product and AI research company.
I am seeking three very specific people to join me on this mission and help scale Arcarae to its next phase. I am hiring one researcher, one marketer, and one engineer as my founding team. These are far from normal roles; the application and hiring process even reflects this.
If you think you are one of these three people, please apply right away. There is much to be done <3
And with that being said,
Welcome to the era of Arcarae.
And as always, I am excited for what’s to come <3

If you want to be a SAHM stop trying to find a rich man, find a man whose mom stayed at home
Personal values are stronger drivers than monetary value

Some funky events I want to host:
- show and tell (adults have way cooler shit than kids)
- laser tag for tech losers
- founder vs. VC boxing match (this would also make killer lead-up content)
If anyone has the financial facilities for any of these I’ll do the leg work

Founders, don't worry about competition like this, because they'll be dead before they're cash flow positive
I just met a founder who told me she works 24 hours a day. I’m not joking.
She’s taught herself how to lucid dream so she can solve important work problems in her sleep.
It’s working though, she recently raised tens of millions of dollars and hired a few dozen people.
San Francisco is known for 996 but in New York we’re 24/7 ;)

Guy talked the president off a cliff, what can’t he do
Yesterday, I spoke to San Franciscans about a potential federal deployment in our city. I said then what I have said since taking office, that keeping San Franciscans safe is my top priority.
Late last night, I received a phone call from the President of the United States. I told him the same thing I told our residents: San Francisco is on the rise. Visitors are coming back, buildings are getting leased and purchased, and workers are coming back to the office.
We have work to do, and we would welcome continued partnerships with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Attorney to get drugs and drug dealers off our streets, but having the military and militarized immigration enforcement in our city will hinder our recovery. We appreciate that the president understands that we are the global hub for technology, and when San Francisco is strong, our country is strong.
In that conversation, the president told me clearly that he was calling off any plans for a federal deployment in San Francisco. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem reaffirmed that direction in our conversation this morning.
My team will continue to monitor the situation closely, and our city remains prepared for any scenario.
I am profoundly grateful to all the San Franciscans who came together over the last several days. Our city leaders have been united behind the goal of public safety. And our values have been on full display—this is the best of our city.

Tl;dr
TikTok is messing Gen Z up
1) Manifesting instead of goal-setting
2) Depleted attention spans
3) Quick trend cycling
4) Rapid polarization
5) Parasocial relationships

2) Attention spans
I spent 13 hours on TikTok last week.
I instantly scroll away if something doesn’t immediately interest me.
3-seconds or you’re done.
This is translating to real life.
My friends look for:
-jobs
-friends
-purchases
…faster than any other generation.

Here's exactly how you use twitter to access and do cool shit: tweet every single random thought you have
And this is easier said than done but I figured out a process to make it possible to develop the muscle for it
BACKGROUND: Despite not having a lot of followers I've gotten a lot of cool opportunities because I tweet a lot (side gigs, invited to things I don't deserve to be at, friendships, job offers). I think this makes me a twitter power user
There are a lot more people listening on this app than talking, if you talk, you win
Here's the play-by-play:
1. Build your army: Tell people around you that you want to tweet more. Ask them to tell you "you should tweet that" whenever you say something that could be a good/funny/insightful tweet and listen to them
2. Accept cringe: A lot of your tweets are going to get maybe 1 like and probably suck, but your friends who you've told you want to win at twitter will respond to you and the goal is to feed the beast (the algo), not to go viral. Accept it's inevitably going to feel stupid at the start and no one cares anyways
3. Bulk up your drafts & post daily: Some days you'll think of tons of posts, don't give them all away in a day because some days you'll have nothing. Keep a lot of throwaway drafts to feed the beast. Feed it daily.
4. Post photos: The beast likes photos, and people love pictures :)
5. Respond & interact: The beast likes when other people like you, and other people like you when you like them

4) Rapid polarization
TikTok’s superior algorithm brings political and cultural threats.
Clickbaity and extreme opinions spread like wildfire across the app.
Andrew Tate is the latest example.
Previous generations got info filtered by people. We get taught by algos.
