Excited to make this happen!
Replying to @getsolari
@getsolari is joining a Stealth Incubator backed by @kakaocorpglobal, to host an intimate event in SF for researchers and founders building computer-use agents, across frontier labs, agent startups, and university groups We'll dive into: → What stays and what dissolves as software gets rebuilt for agents → World models: can agents learn software environments the way they learn the physical world? → The Jevons paradox: what happens when computer work gets cheap Candid, off-the-record (Chatham House Rule), plus a first look at what we're both building next Request an invite 👉 partiful.com/e/JoetWd5pgrNHP… Seats are extremely limited Excited to be working with @JqOnly, @dylanventures_ and @henryyam_ @Techweek_

saw this on linkedin the other day but: someone needs to create an agent to answer spam calls and keep the caller on the line as long as possible so it ruins the unit economics of the spam call channel lol

Being on the @cosign waitlist is like being a BC student trying to get into an MIT frat party. We all know whose party is better.

In SF, dropping out is a badge of honor. In Korea, it's a family emergency. I'm not going back to college. Not because it's brave. Because in Asia "risk" doesn't mean losing money, it means losing face. And the price of never looking bad is never becoming great.

Every Asian kid gets two rules: be the best, and don't take risks. They can't coexist. The safe path is safe because everyone takes it, and a path everyone takes produces the average. You can finish #1 on it. You'll be the best average person in the room.

Your risk doesn't have to be college. The job you won't leave. The idea you keep postponing. The thing you'd do if nobody was watching. But it has to be something. Which one is yours?

finding private event space in sf during tech week is harder than convincing someone to write my first check 😭😭

Building your company around winning pitch competitions is the worst thing a college entrepreneur can do

Constraint I'd recommend to any founder: you get one message per day to your team. You will discover that 90% of what you were saying was anxiety, not information.

A 19-year-old Japanese student built a trading bot with Claude Code in 2 days. Used his iPad as a second monitor. First night: $6,732 profit. Starting capital: $68. Total profit so far: $750,000. Here's how it works: The bot scans over 50 markets simultaneously. Syncs live BTC data from Binance every second. Spots price errors before humans even notice. The edge is pure speed + pattern recognition. While traders stare at charts trying to predict the next move, his bot is already executing on mispricing across dozens of markets. No guessing. No emotions. No hesitation. Just Claude Code logic finding gaps that close in seconds. He built the entire system in 48 hours: → Claude Code handles the trading logic → Binance API feeds real-time BTC data → iPad displays multi-market monitoring → Executes trades when arbitrage windows open The system runs 24/7. Every price dislocation = profit opportunity. Most people are still trading manually, refreshing charts, second-guessing entries. Meanwhile this 19-year-old engineering student turned $68 into $750K by letting Claude Code do what humans can't: process 50 markets instantly and execute without fear. Why are people still trading manually? 💡 I'm giving away the exact Claude Code setup for free. 24 hours only. To get it: 1️⃣ Comment "Fable" 2️⃣ Like and Repost 3️⃣ Follow @anjum_ai I'll DM you the complete setup.

theres a method you learn in YCombinator to compress a month of GTM research into 3 hours. you dont ask Claude to “research the market.” instead you feed it: 30+ competitor fully indexed websites 10+ earnings call transcripts (biggest incumbents) 100 customer reviews 10+ Reddit thread full of complaints (if u can find them) then, after that you ask claude: “what does every successful player in this market understand that customers never say out loud?” then ask: “what are the assumptions this entire market is built on, and what would have to be true for each one to be wrong?” 15 minutes later, you’ll have: -the blind spots -the consensus -the ideas relevant to customers that nobody’s talking about then get Claude to attack the idea like a great investor. “what’s the strongest version of this argument, and where does it still break?” 3 hours later, you’ll have a (very initial) GTM strategy that feels like it comes from someone who’d spent a decade in the market. use Claude like a tireless research partner with no ego about being wrong develop ur intial hypothesis, then go out into the market and start having real customer convos to validate it (you can use tools like Origami to quickly build customer lists to target)

First post. I'm Dylan 👋 At 15 I built games with the guy who made Flappy Bird. At 16, when school went online and Zoom didn't exist in Asia, I built a study platform and sold it. At 17 I ran the largest tech-literacy nonprofit in Vietnam. Then Boston for college, where I co-founded MLV with someone I met at freshman orientation and scaled it to seven countries. Then two years of mandatory service in Korea, running it from a base. Just got out. Building something new.

If you are 18-24 years old, are technical and you are in San Francisco right now… you can probably have an easier time raising first money $ from VCs vs do the work to join the right company as an employee. This doesn’t make sense to me!
