If you haven’t been to SF recently, it’s hard to overstate just how many Waymo driverless cars are on the road. It feels like 5-10%, sometimes two or three on every block. And what’s most striking is that they drive so perfectly you don’t even register that they’re robots.

@darrenmarble This is bad advice. If you’ve raised as little as $1M you should be paying yourself subsistence salary — purely mathematically the delta on minimum vs market salary is worth way less than the risk adjusted upside to your equity. That’s what we did — have to optimize for survival.

@levelsio Everything you’ve mentioned is irrelevant. If they’ve raised $90M to get to a $100M exit… yes, that’s appropriate. So few founders understand that’s it’s not about valuation at each round, or taking/not taking VC funding — it’s about capital efficient growth along the way.

For all the talk of AI hallucinations, ChatGPT gets this one right where Google doesn’t. What’s particularly impressive is the non-consensus answer – traditional research methods would have you believe gas dries clothes faster, which is not the case for modern appliances.

Blink and you missed it: Teslas just got super cheap in 2024. A brand new Model 3 can be leased for $329/mo ($246/mo after fuel savings), and a new Model Y for $399/mo ($299/mo after fuel savings). Compare that with a BMW X3 for $541/mo or a barebones CR-V LX for $325/mo.

If you're looking for great causes for Giving Tuesday, I'm a huge fan of Climate Changemakers, a great organization supporting effective climate action. I’m proud to work with them as part of their their Advisory Board.

TIL that a single Bitcoin transaction uses ~1MWh of energy. Put another way, it uses the same amount of energy as the average US home uses in 10 days (gas and electric combined) or that a Tesla uses to drive 240 miles. One transaction. 🤯
