all of my suppliers in china are still asking to be paid with alipay or swift... it's 2026, why are they not all on @airwallex ? I never want to make a swift transfer again โ at Wan Chai District, Hong Kong
these guaranteed yield real estate schemes hit different with US 10Y yielding more than 5%... โ at Khlong Toei, Bangkok

The real reason high IQ third worlders leave their countries and generally donโt go back and build them up isnโt because they just want an easy life in the west, but because being in a tribal low IQ collectivist society that heavily punishes individuality is an insufferable hell for the sharp and beautiful mind, for the potent soul relegated to the arbitrary rituals and social bullshit of simple minded petty people who will lose their minds if you donโt adhere to custom.
If you wish to maximally develop yourself as a human, you will not do it in a society full of strict rules and expectations on conduct, with hundreds of people looking for a handout whenever you succeed, subjecting you to their petty social politics. You will do it in a society that is minimally invasive and says โif you are capable, then you canโ (within reason)
The poetry is third world countries are often more efficient if you know the right people to hook you up, less red tape, less protections and bureaucracy. Less of a big deal or less difficult to own a gun when itโs not strictly legal, things like this - but on an actual personal development basis - socially, the neverending meet-ups and fake social events and extended family politics where you have to tiptoe around the fragility of morons and egotistical elders is not really appealing to them.
Iโve thought about brain drain arguments and at this point Iโve concluded the west is basically a refuge for third world outliers who want to escape the hellholes theyโre born into so they can actually enjoy some semblance of civilization and maximally develop themselves without being held back by over the top rigid social obligations, corruption, fuck all social mobility and other endless tribal bullshit.
These cultures are very good at stifling the individual to the point they suppress themselves - and this in large part is why they are backward people. Now the west is too far the other way (in its current state) so the golden mean is somewhere between the middle of these two extremes with a slight bias towards individualism. You need individualism bias if youโre going to have eccentricity tolerance, and you need eccentricity tolerance if youโre going to make a place hospitable if not at the very least bearable for the most intelligent of your population.

I call it preparing Taiwan's civilians to become the human shield for an administration that already has an evacuation plan. And this is why I reject calling the DPP and their separatist supporters "pro-Taiwan."

Meritocracy in tech is precarious. Itโs everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Cynics will tell you there is none. How can it possibly be fair that the Stanford grad seemingly can raise from any VC they want but the VirginiaTech one has to struggle? If youโre from a big lab, youโre the prom queen, but if youโre from a yesteryear SaasCo, no one even picks up your resume. Warm intros through people in the know seem to dictate who is allowed to win. To even get an interview at YC or a VC gig, it feels like an elite education is a prerequisite. It can seem like the system is rigged against you.
Yet, that view would be so patently false. The valley is one of the best meritocracies in the world. Itโs just not obvious when youโre young. Tim Cook went to Auburn and spent 12yrs at IBM before Compaq. Nikesh Arora, one of the highest paid execs in America, went to a โlower rankedโ IIT from India. Jan Koum dropped out of San Jose State to work at Yahoo before founding Whatsapp. The CTO of Anthropic went from a no-name college most couldnโt put on a map. Dylan Patel who sits on the most influential set of data in the world, got there by pure passion. Dwarkesh was a nobody before running the most influential podcast in tech. The team that built GPT-3 isnโt exactly a Harvard reunion. Jensen was from Oregon State and Dennyโs. Tobi Lutke, Palmer Luckey, Frank Slootman, John Carmack, Jeff Dean, Linus Torvalds, Satya Nadella, the examples are infinite.
How can both of these be true? At any given moment, it feels like a stratified society based on your current credentials. What the Valley offers is the fastest path to updating those credentials.
The unspoken rule of the valley is that you get infinite shots on goal, but you just have to prove yourself to buy the next shot. If you try to jump too high, you might hit a brick wall. For some, itโs easy. You went to Stanford / MIT. Everyone thinks youโre the sharpest of your generation. But opportunity is abundant and you should be risk-on. One amazing product, one viral open source repo, one phenomenal company you helped build, one highly technical blog post, one amazing career stint: all can shape your fortunes overnight.
We often forget how much of a privilege that is. In most other parts of the world, you cannot in fact work yourself into the elite strata. CEOs of companies in India or China rarely are from a non-elite university. Corporate structures there are far less accommodating to former failures. Even in New York finance, thereโs a certain way you need to speak, attire you need to wear and an unspoken private club that needs to welcome you. That doesnโt exist in the Valley. Sure there are private clubs, but anyone can make it to them. But you can always buy your entrance ticket with proof of work.
In the moment, it can seem not meritocratic. This happens especially when youโre younger. Hell, itโs not perfect and luck may never strike you. But career is a long game, and a wise valley veteran once told me โif youโre ambitious and you spend 25yrs here, thereโs next to no chance youโre not making it.โ And Iโve seen that too. It might not be fair in the moment, and it may not be fair to everyone, but it converges very quickly to it.

honestly you can nepomanufacture b2b success but you cannot nepomanufacture b2c success past a certain point. thatโs the real divide and why i donโt blink if someone tells me theyโre building pure b2b

Apple spent decades in China.
No iPhone 18 Pro supplier map was dumped on the dark web.
Then came India.
Tata leaked supplier lists, component details, parts photos, and confidential Apple files.
So much for โde-risking.โ
They did not reduce supply-chain risk.
They exported it from an industrial civilization to a screwdriver economy with a cybersecurity problem.

Th..thanks Dario
Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow.
After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. Weโll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests.
Weโve also begun drafting a consensus frameworkโwith Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partnersโfor assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort.
Finally, weโre scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research.
Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.
