1/ This graph from Jon Bruner tells an important story: America's current dominance in science only began after the mid-1930s, when persecuted scientists began fleeing universities in Germany and then elsewhere in occupied Europe.

Wild how little of post-AI analytics has gone to Thoughtspot given how early they were on conversational BI. Not only didn't they catch the wave -- AI appears to have eroded their differentiator

The future of work isn’t just your brain. It’s your brain + your battalion of custom GPTs. Most people don’t get this yet. If you haven’t built one, start today. Build your private army.

Founder Trap: Building horizontal "lego brick" products. You're motivated by TAM. But buyers are motivated by their narrow pain. Horizontal products do many things okay, nothing great. Expensive to build, scatter your focus, and slow your learning. Pick one big pain. Solve it

Ambition traps: – So obsessed with being great, you skip being good – So set on building big, you ignore the small moves that make it possible

One of the weirdest shifts in AI dev: Code is easier, but now often the wrong move. The same AI that makes code cheap also makes it a liability. Code is rigid and brittle. Prompts are flexible. A good agent can decide what to build, when, and scrap it when done. You don’t need

Your AI agent army isn't optional. Miss it and you're stuck at 1x. Here's the scale: - 1x = left behind - 10x = smart, networked, tool-savvy (the best people, until now) - 10,000x = shows up with a custom-built agent army. God mode. Your agent stack will follow you from job to

This is a good way to visualize the projected fiscal impact of the Big Beautiful Bill. It adds about a million dollars of extra spending per minute above the pre-BBB baseline.

Ira Glass has a great line about “the gap”: the painful void where your taste is miles ahead of your skill. You know what great looks like, but what you’re making is crap. That’s the phase where most people quit. With AI, the gap shrinks. Your taste becomes the primary tool.
