Heads up on a change here: I'm bringing this account back to life, but focused on one thing - AI data security, trust and safety.
That's what I'm building at the new startup, and it's what I'll be posting about here. Music, London, personal musing and everything else has moved to instagram.com/dotben_ - follow me there for that side.
The account will be renamed shortly, so don't be alarmed when it changes. Same me.

.@aspec00 is great founder and expert in startup operations.
If you are a founder who should be focusing on building and selling, check out Chore (fka Levy)
Founders: don't raise money right now. Pause your efforts, come back in 2 weeks.
Most firms give staff the time off and aren't going to run a fire drill for you.
Also negative selection bias: typically only poor quality companies and poor quality firms are in market right now.
Yeah, I'm kinda spreading my wings and moving over there...

RFK actually called out Trump on junk food and said it was poison (see link). V surprised to see he is about to eat that shit AND has a coke.
These people are hypocrites.

Yep, well, that's me (to be clear - I didn't vote because I'm not a US Citizen but I donated and supported Harris).
I think the Dem's have a flawed retail offer but I don't think Trump will bring in the benefits to hard working people that they think he will.

Surprisingly this isn't illegal. It should be and it's highly unethical.
And imagine the outrage if Bill Gates or George Soros made the exact same offer (to Democrats).
Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks and JD Vance (who is long time mentored by Peter Thiel) will control AI and Crypto legislation if Trump wins.
Trump has no personal view or vision on these topics, nor does it detract from his own desire to be POTUS.
Is that good or bad?
He didn't ask me to say it but @aspec00 is an amazing founder, entrepreneur, father and friend. This will be a great dinner, I'm sure.

Never used weed or any drugs ever in my life (people find that hard to believe, it's true!)
But lets just get on and legalize marijuana (and most other drugs) and remove the criminal element.
The war on drugs failed.
No one should go to jail for smoking weed.

This has to be one of the most impressive technology demonstrations of recent times.
I don’t even think the ‘chop sticks’ actually grabbed the rocket (ie pinched it), from the video it looked like it positioned itself into a 2-3ft tolerance landing zone on the arms.
