Sam Altman says the way to preserve a startup culture while your company scales is to have the work and expectations per person go up over time:
"The way that big companies go wrong is that there are too many people with not enough to do and they fight each other over these fake levels of work."
"If everyone is really busy with real impact, and the amount of work per person, stuff to do per person, keeps increasing, then you can fight the slow drag and politics of the big company."

Awesome! Can’t wait! :D
🚨 EPIC! Secretary Rubio just announced ALL NEW US passports will NO LONGER arrive in trashy beat up mail
Instead, he's sending passports in elegant gold and white packaging
"For something as important and dignified as the US passport, it will arrive the way you would expect it to."
American exceptionalism! Great symbolism! 🇺🇸
And it can ALL be done easily through America .gov. No more spending hours!
Like when did humanity reach this level!!
From concept to reality.
@SpaceX has successfully deployed Starlink V3 satellites into Earth’s orbit and made contact with them for the first time.
At scale, one Starship carries 60 V3 satellites, the same network capacity as about 20 Falcon 9 launches.
Such beauty!
BREAKING: @SpaceX has received FAA approval for Starship Flight 14, on track to launch Monday with 26 V3 Starlink satellites on its first revenue-generating mission
💯💯
Mark Zuckerberg: failure doesn’t matter.
“The question is how much you win, when you win.”
“@WalterIsaacson wrote this biography of Einstein. One of the interesting things were all the theories he had that were wrong.”
“People don’t remember those.”
“We’re all going to get a lot of stuff wrong, what matters are the intellectual and cultural contributions we make that help push stuff forward.”
“We have a resilient company that is not afraid of failure.”
“That allows us to take some big swings and tolerate being ridiculed for long periods of time.”
“If you’re trying to do something that’s really new, people have to think it’s ridiculous. If they didn’t, someone else would’ve already done it.”
“In creation, the upside is infinite.”
“If you build something that hundreds of millions, or billions of people like, then that makes up for a lot of ideas that didn’t end up working.”

The timing of the tweet, and muse release, is just so coincidental.
😂
Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon became a media superstar after going public with his AI fears. He insisted that he wasn’t working with any third party organizations. Familiar sources told us a different story: DEY., a PR firm representing many of the most prominent AI safetyists, was booking his interviews.
One source, who had direct knowledge, even said DEY. preemptively booked Nate Soares, a prominent AI safety figure, for interviews that directly overlapped with Jacob going public.
Jacob working with DEY. is notable for two reasons: first, as mentioned, he previously said he wasn’t working with third parties. Second, we are in the middle of a national conversation about the future of AI that is actively determining how we regulate the most powerful technology in the world, largely thanks to the panic stirred up by Jacob — and it’s in the public’s interest to know who, exactly, is behind it.

.@JeffBezos on why thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy:
"It's generally human nature to overestimate risk and underestimate opportunity. Entrepreneurs would be well advised to bias against that piece of human nature — the risks are probably not as big as you perceive, and the opportunities may be bigger than you perceive. You call it confidence, but maybe it's just accepting that that's a human bias and trying to compensate against it.
The second thing I would point out is that thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy."
