Is @jack Dorsey underrated?

“I think he has more range than anyone else.”

“Watching his journey with Twitter & then Square.. I never got to work closely with him, but that's an inspiring figure.”

“When I was younger in Silicon Valley, I always looked up to what he was doing.”

Palmer Luckey's theory on aliens:

"My current theory is they come from the past."

"You could imagine a world where Earth hosted advanced civilizations a billion years ago."

"If and when we figure out what’s going on with UAPs, UFOs, that whole universe—everything’s going to change."

Will Marshall (@Will4Planet) has likely seen more images of Earth than anyone else on the planet

He still hasn’t found ANY evidence of aliens:

“I'm sad because the interesting backdrop is—the universe is remarkably silent.”

“We've now discovered over 6,300 planets in the local galactic neighborhood. And none of them have any obvious signs of life yet.”

“It’s rather worrying because one possibility is that we get to technology stages, and then we blow ourselves up. People seriously worry about this. We've got nukes. We're getting through that. Now we've got AI.”

“We don't know that the reason it's eerily silent is actually because they blow themselves up when they get to this stage.”

“I predict that we'll actually find life off Earth within the next 10 years.”

80% of the tokens on Vercel's network now go to open models.

CEO Guillermo Rauch (@rauchg) says the cybersecurity case for banning them is “nonsense”

“North Korea, China, enemies, adversaries, bad people, good people, we all have tokens now.”

“I personally disagree with the whole, ‘Let's ban open models because of the cybersecurity risk.’”

“That's nonsense, because the thing that is making these models good at cybersecurity is just that they're intelligent. You would be basically prohibiting the access to intelligence.”

“And with this intelligence, we can deploy it in a defensive way.”

One of the first things Palantir CEO Alex Karp did after becoming wealthy was give his childhood dog a proper burial site.

His family rescued Rosita from a pound the day before she was set to be euthanized.

“Rosita was breaking out of the lock. Then, Rosita would go back and break the locks for other dogs.”

“Rosita played a tremendous role in our lives. She was very high IQ. It was more like a human than a dog.”

“One of the crazy things about having resources is you can do things that mean a lot to you. I got in touch with the person who bought the house.. they agreed to let me exhume their whole yard.”

“I took Rosita and now I have her burial site near my house.”

“Rosita was the best.”

The #1 thing @ashleevance learned from years of covering @elonmusk: persistence and focus

“He’s very good at prioritizing the things that really matter to him.”

“When I was doing the book on him, I started to marinate in the way he goes about life.”

“There’s all these things I was chasing, but some of them don’t really matter. You should just put most of your energy into the stuff you think is going to matter.”

Planet CEO Will Marshall’s (@Will4Planet) best advice for young entrepreneurs:

“Persistence & endurance is the biggest thing that actually distinguishes entrepreneurs that succeed and don't.”

“We weren't going to stop just because some VC said, ‘No, you can't.’”
