I have obsessed about how to build gigawatts of new nuclear power for ten years. I analyzed every type of nuclear reactor at every size. Then I analyzed 80 different regulatory pathways. Then my team built this in 10 months. To be quite frank with you, we’re going to win.

I added another question. Why is AI progress so even? Conventional wisdom on AI is that it’s a tool that helps its own development, and that recursive improvement will soon lead to some kind of take off scenario. Yet that is not what we see in the market, at least as of May

And just like that Axiom (YCombinator W25) hits $100m in revenue since launching just 5 months ago: - Took Cursor 12 months to hit $100m of ARR (previous record afaik) making Axiom the fastest company in YC history to hit $100m in real top-line revenue - Probably the purest

Something absolutely everyone should be doing right now, to get ahead of the coming wave of AI change: Identify toilsome tasks in your work and life that AI could handle, freeing you up for higher-value activities. There is massive alpha in being the 1st expert in your field.

Veo 3 is an amazing model, but insanely hard to find for the first time. This is a classic Google UI issue in the AI era: 1. Google your way to Flow 2. Log in twice (?) 3. Start a new project 4. Default is unnamed but is Veo 2 - click on “Quality” and change to Veo 3

Surprise Claude 4 doesn't have a memory yet. Would be a major self-own to cede that to the other model companies. There is something *extremely* powerful about an agent that knows *you* and your motivations, and what you are working towards always. o3+memory was a huge unlock!

If your main contribution to your team is being willing to grind through toilsome work, you should really pay attention to this advice.

Exactly! Take SF. They booted their far left activists, from the DA to the Supervisors to the School Board, and brought in a more moderate mayor. SF now looks better and is safer than it has been in a long time. Did I do that right, Ysabel?

The UX for long running AI Agents is going to be one of the most interesting design questions in the coming years. The more the agent is doing complex tasks for you in the background, the more the UI of software is about the meta elements of managing their work.

Stuck in traffic on 101? You're not alone. 1/ Last week, I was quoted ~$200 for an Uber from Palo Alto to SF because I wanted to take the carpool lane. I'm frustrated enough I've started researching why. 2/ Why is the richest and smartest state in the world not able to build
