Russians just hit an “Epicenter” hypermarket in Kharkiv with two “FAB” aerial bombs.
Deliberately on the weekday when lots of civilians are inside.
2 people confirmed killed, large number of people is missing and many are wounded. There is a big fire going on right now.

great quote from karpathy
most great organizations require leader(s) with a disproportionate amount of power
when this is absent you end up with countless hierarchies of ineffective committees, e.g. many google products lack a Directly Responsible Individual with actual power

Open source AI foundation models will wipe out closed and proprietary AI models for the same reason Wikipedia wiped out generalist commercial encyclopedia: crowd-sourced human contributions to open platforms can cater to a high diversity of interests, cultures, and languages.

Luck plays a massive role in our success, whether we like to admit it or not.
Skill + focus + luck usually means great success.
Building a company still feels like this, though.

AI Market feels to me like a poker table with high stakes:
- you need really BIG buy-in to sit to this table
- random cards are arriving super fast
- you are trying to find the good combo for your cards
- unstoppable FOMO that every one are having much better cards
- and no one REALLY understand the rules but everyone pretends))
Today, we’re announcing that @Amazon will invest up to $4 billion in Anthropic. The agreement is part of a broader collaboration to develop reliable and high-performing foundation models.

Roblox is about to onboard over 200M people to AI.
They just revealed a new AI chatbot called Roblox Assistant, allowing creators build virtual worlds just by typing prompts.
What's even more fascinating, is that over 43% of Roblox users are under the age of 13.
The next-gen of builders will be learning how to talk with AI revolution at a VERY young age.
We're headed into a new era.

On this day 15 years ago, Airbnb launched. It was actually our third launch; nobody noticed the first two
Think of a late Sunday brunch vibe, filled with sincerity and smiles, completely unhurried — that was our conversation with @thebreakfastapp.
Talked about our mission at @reface_app, my traits and vulnerabilities, and of course, fave breakfasts.
