clearing my weekends for the next 3 months…
Asimov v0's assembly guide is coming next week. We're also open-sourcing the full body design for Asimov v1, including everything from the actuator list to simulation assets for training. Pre-order your DIY robot kit: asimov.inc/diy-kit

always been a bryce fan. he was a beast for the jets and showed a lot of love to new york. this is also a great reminder that you can just do things. leave NFL… then starts a safety infra company. objectively awesome pivot. try new things, take risks, and enjoy the ride…
Bryce Huff is retiring from the NFL and starting a company called Naberstone, which he says will build safety infrastructure to help reduce fire risk from lithium-ion batteries. “This mission will save lives.”

free market capitalism! … except when women take advantage of the system. maybe regulate the demand (men paying for this) instead of penalizing the women profiting from it. don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Hey @SophieRaiin, Pay up *or* quit OnlyFans. As Florida Governor, I will not allow a generation of smart and capable young women to sell their bodies online.

here’s how i doubled my money in the last week: step 1: watch football step 2: listen to announcers say things like “why aren’t we talking about matt stafford for MVP?” step 3: have the @Kalshi app informational flow + execution speed = opportunities with PMs.

“sorry guys, i can’t play basketball later today… my dad is making me vibe code a b2b saas platform and won’t let me leave the house until i’m at $100k mrr”
When we sat down with @alexandr_wang at Meta Connect 2025, he shared his advice for young people: “If you’re 13 right now, you should spend all your time vibe coding. This is the Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg moment. The people who grow up with these tools will have an immense advantage in the future economy.” From his appearance on the show in September.

the amount of opportunities on @Kalshi and @Polymarket are actually insane. and it’s going to be like this for at least another year. the key will be identifying these mispriced odds + arb opportunities before others. intelligence layer for PMs coming soon… 👀
If you scroll thru Kalshi and just look at odds - there are so many things mispriced, it’s nuts.

it’s so funny to see tech twitter lose their fucking minds over @ZohranKMamdani becoming mayor. i keep hearing people are moving to florida and texas, but i’m calling bullshit. @Polymarket let’s open up a market instead of speculating. it could look something like this: “what will NYC’s 2027 net domestic migration be? you can have multiple options: 1. > 150,000 2. 150,001 to 250,000 3. 250,000 to 400,000 4. < 1,000,000 then, just use consensus data as the source. nyc population is 8M-9M. if you think the greatest city in the world will lose 13% of its population because of the mayor, you know absolutely nothing about new york city. people said the same thing if trump became president a second term and the data also called bullshit. like @1confirmation says… skin in the game or stfu.
JUST IN: Florida & Texas real estate prices projected to soar, as NYC sees exodus of up to 1 million people.

have we forgotten a very important aspect of prediction markets? they don’t care about your fucking political party or personal bias. PMs will continue to compete with mainstream media because people want objective. they truth without a narrative. @BillAckman implying @Polymarket is rigged tells us he doesn’t understand that. and to @NTmoney’s point, traders will never leave money on the table. remember, decentralization is working if people in power feel powerless.
The New York Post, Bill Ackman and others are suggesting the Polymarket odds may be rigged for Mamdani. If that was true, there would be a massive arbitrage opportunity for profit seeking traders to buy Cuomo shares at a discount. There’s $322M of volume on the market. Both the left and the right similarly suggested manipulation at different times in the 2024 presidential election cycle. The people playing perception games will continue to be loud about manipulation but real ones know skin in the game or STFU.

the entry level job landscape has completely changed over the last few years. degrees hold less signaling power and productivity benchmarks have shifted. the reality is AI changed the baseline for what “entry level” should deliver. entry level jobs = very difficult to enter.
So... the entry-level job market is BAD bad

no way @Polymarket is going to do an airdrop just based off trading volume. yes, it’s important to the larger accounts that provide liquidity, but it’s also the most boring metric. i’d imagine the criteria will be much more robust (account creation date, positions value, etc.)
BREAKING: @Polymarket CMO Matthew Modabber confirms $POLY token and airdrop. According to rumors, the airdrop is going to be based on your trading volume, so if you aren't already trading on Polymarket, idk what you are doing. Polymarket supercycle.

here’s how you can become a very good poker player: 1. don’t look at your cards 2. go all in 3. record yourself on @jellyvideochats 4. repeat thanks for the invite @spacemandev 🫡

there’s always someone who’s going to be smarter than you and/or working harder than you… i think the path to success is shortening the gap in both areas. intelligence: read more, talk to smart people. work ethic: stay organized, disciplined, and be creative.

i’m very bullish on crypto-backed loans, which is why i’m such a fan of @LanternFi. here’s why: - security, custody, and communication - tax benefits - speed of liquidity (as little as one hour) - no credit checks the traditional banking system simply cannot compete… 🤷🏽‍♂️
