The question most forget to ask: "whats the bottleneck". It often goes unanswered for a long time or forever and people tend to look at speed for the answer.

saw this really smart ad by polaroid
millions of people will be anti-AI, yearn for analog products and dream of an era that doesn't exist anymore

My working hypothesis is that the generation that grew up with guitar hero & YT tutorials has now created thousands of guitarists that are the most technically gifted in history. But they can't create original music. Where are all the great new rock bands

This. Is. The. @joinupsideclub 🔥 🔥🔥
Last Friday, myself and @cisco_raio successfully hosted the Upside Club 1st ever Founders Retreat @ Porto. 🇵🇹
70 Founders, 1 room, 4 fireside chats.
I'm still digesting, but this day was probably one of the most rewarding ones of my career. And all without signing any contract or closing any lead — simply by the joy of uniting like-minded people.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended, but especially to the Speakers and those who traveled from afar. We've had folks coming from Lisbon, Faro, Madrid, and Munich. 🤯
Also, a special thanks to @Fitzgerald_JM and @PaddleHQ, who sponsored the event, and to @tjc_monteiro and @unsetstudio for covering it. A video is coming soon! 📹
Until next time! 👊

One of the things you realise when you're freelancing is that there are a ton of smart, interesting people doing great work.
I think some companies have you believe that they are the only place to 'do the work of your life', but it just isn't true

We WILL fix Europe. Join us rather than dump on us. 🇪🇺🇪🇺
Hey Twitter boi,
Instead of just being engagement farmed with your frustration, anger and negativity…
Instead liking people punching down on weaker ecosystems…
Instead of blaming the fact that people have healthcare and schools, or simping for the US while being depressed about your own continent…
Instead of liking repost-farming of facts that everyone knows and chase your dopamine hits by being angry…
What if we fix things? You're not a leaf in the wind. Act.
This is what we work on. Help us, or better build your own.
There is a vibeshift.
Start programs, networks, build epic companies.
Be part of it, get active, or keep highbrow whining how everything sucks and give up. Your choice.
"There's a connection between the vibrance of a market, and the barriers to entry".
When a market is fully efficient, its hard to think outside the box and just go with the herd.

Last week in Brussels was crazy for EU Inc.
Quick recap:
- Met multiple Members of Parliament
- Arranged meetings for this week too
- Met people from the Commission
- Got support from all big startup associations
- Joined the Annual Summit of @Allied4Startups
- @simonschaefer even opened the event with our cap
And we hit over 10k subscribers making the largest petition for any startup topic ever.
We will publish a full roadmap later this week – and there is even more to come. The EU Inc will become reality - the momentum is here to stay.
Attached a few pictures (not sharing several photos as the MEPs first wanted to learn more)

We got RIGHT NOW a once in a generation chance to improve Europe for startups. 🔥
We got 6 weeks until the new comission sets their work agenda for the years to come. Uniting the European startup ecosystems needs to be part of this agenda!
The solution is known, it's just one out of hundreds for politicians. It's our job as industry to show how important it is.
First co-signatories are people like @patrickc, @nzennstrom, @martinmignot, @MattClifford, @Taavet, Eléonore Crespo, @jobvo, @roxannevarza and many many more coming in the next weeks. Hopefully including you! ✌️
How you can help:

- Share this in your whatsapp, slack and discord groups
- Get this in front of press, newsletters, and influencers

For Europe, for the next generations to come: Let's make Europe the best place for innovators.
Uniting as one ecosystem is the first step - a pan-european ecosystem is the key here. Let's go!

Over the last ~2 hours I curated a new Podcast of 10 episodes called "Histories of Mysteries". Find it up on Spotify here:
open.spotify.com/show/3K4LRy…
10 episodes of this season are:
Ep 1: The Lost City of Atlantis
Ep 2: Baghdad battery
Ep 3: The Roanoke Colony
Ep 4: The Antikythera Mechanism
Ep 5: Voynich Manuscript
Ep 6: Late Bronze Age collapse
Ep 7: Wow! signal
Ep 8: Mary Celeste
Ep 9: Göbekli Tepe
Ep 10: LUCA: Last Universal Common Ancestor
Process:
- I researched cool topics using ChatGPT, Claude, Google
- I linked NotebookLM to the Wikipedia entry of each topic and generated the podcast audio
- I used NotebookLM to also write the podcast/episode descriptions.
- Ideogram to create all digital art for the episodes and the podcast itself
- Spotify to upload and host the podcast
I did this as an exploration of the space of possibility unlocked by generative AI, and the leverage afforded by the use of AI. The fact that I can, as a single person in 2 hours, curate (not create, but curate) a podcast is I think kind of incredible. I also completely understand and acknowledge the potential and immediate critique here, of AI generated slop taking over the internet. I guess - have a listen to the podcast when you go for walk/drive next time and see what you think.

BREAKING: Quentin Tarantino announces that his 10th and final film will be a prequel to Pulp Fiction.
I had the pleasure of hosting @kaavepour on the Shaping Chaos podcast. After many years passionately following SPACE 10's work, its a honour to be able to have him on the show. Listen to the full episode here and stay tuned for more
