You haven’t made it in tech until your entire inner circle has been the subject of a NYT hit piece

FROM THE ARCHIVE: We asked Scott Wu (@ScottWu46) whether an AI would take gold at the International Mathematical Olympiad this year. “I’d be surprised if it doesn’t… our internal bet is that the AI will win.” Yesterday that prediction landed. OpenAI researchers say an experimental reasoning model sat the 2025 IMO under full exam conditions; two 4.5-hour sessions, no internet, natural-language proofs, and solved 5 of 6 problems, scoring 35/42 points, enough for a gold medal.

We asked @KyleSamani (Managing Partner @multicoincap) about the future of currency globally: "My suspicion is that somewhere between 60% and 80% of the world would say US dollars." "Stablecoins make it trivial for anyone in the world to have dollars in their pocket. You don’t need permission, just a phone and a private key." "This will probably represent one of the largest movements in capital in human history."

There’s no car that says “I couldn’t afford a Carrera GT” more than a GT3 RS

Good round this morning with @bryce (repping the @tbpn hat). And great news, he found the Kirkland ball.

About to go on @tbpn

Beachwood shoot last weekend

We asked @tylercowen about the importance of team dynamics in AI research. "I'm an NBA basketball fan and what I observe is the top teams need some time to gel." "There's something about how it gels and the process... I think it's a fascinating experiment. I'm dying to find out how it's going to work."

imagine trying to compete with this lineup and this is just a random thursday cc @tbpn @johncoogan @jordihays
