Easily one of the most intense things I’ve signed up for with Arkhub, and the most exciting. We’re exploring the tunnels below Cusco to see if they lead to the Chincana, the labyrinth Cusqueños have always whispered about. ... Join me on monday's livestream as we make our way into the Chincana (4pm Cusco time!) ⏰

It's time to decentralize Hollywood with AI. Introducing the new Network School Astana AI Film Festival, in partnership with the Republic of Kazakhstan. We're awarding $2M in prizes with entries accepted from around the world. So: submit your film now at aaiff.ai.

$2M in prizes for the Network School Astana AI Film Festival

Hollywood makes money by attacking everyone else: from Kazakhstan to conservatives, from Asians to Indians, from Latinos to Muslims. But now you can make money too…by decentralizing Hollywood with AI.

A journo named @stuwoo followed me to Singapore, and then tried to pathologize my move to Singapore. Why?

Why did Stu Woo of the Wall Street Journal Follow Me to Singapore?

Today is a cool day because we literally closed and got the payment from our first client. Argentina's Digital Economic Zone is real.

Today, we opened our first @formacity campus. It's located in Bristol, in the UK. Inspired by Professor X and the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. It will serve as a home for people with the audacity to build on the frontier.

We just raised $960,000 for the Inflection Fellowship and grants! All thanks to Jensen Huang's leather jacket, which sold at Sotheby's for 16x the estimate. Story below ⬇️

Network School is not shutting down; that’s fake news. We received two notices. The first tells us to change the text of a sign. The second says that our coworking site, which was created by joining two adjacent units, evidently has a valid license on the left hand side but not the right hand side. We have a remedial period for both issues, and will remediate them shortly. But our members are otherwise unaffected.
