Peskin is running for mayor but he’s too scared to participate in a debate hosted by TogetherSF Action. What a coward!

I think Peskin has been the architect of the problems in San Francisco, but this is his opportunity to talk to voters and convince us he's the person for the job.

First, the fact the Chronicle doesn’t consider Asians diverse is crazy.

Second, we should have more specialized public school programs like Lowell in SF, instead of in-fighting over Lowell, so every child can explore their passions.

The FAA ineffectively regulates Boeing while cracking down on its competitors. This is because it is captured by a monopoly and weaponized against startups.

Geoffrey, your law would make the Boeing 737 max MANDATORY for AI.

The idea that Dean Preston is pro small biz is utterly laughable.

From defending drug dealers and shoplifters to opposing parklets, he’s been throwing wrenches at small biz in his district.

Only Broke Ass Stuart and Dean himself think Dean is good for small biz.

we’re seeing amazing results with the AI tools we’ve built at runway.com. the best part? we did it without any code.

it’s so simple anyone can do it. you don’t have to be technical at all.

the key is to treat AI like a human—just treat it way more human than you would naturally…

I posted a domain-name site last week that Jonas Templestein, my cofounder from Monzo 🏦, built.

The site earned $4200 over the weekend.

The catch? It was all built by an AI agent.

Open letter to Senator Scott Wiener re: SB-1047.

A Safe Harbor for Independent AI Evaluation?

Hi Scott,

Just a personal thought from the investing perspective, 1047 seems likely to be about 1 week - 6 months away from an SBF 2.0-style scandal.

The bill sponsors likely aren't being…

.“The difference between the best worker on computer hardware and the average may be 2 to 1, if you’re lucky. With automobiles, maybe 2 to 1. But in software, it’s at least 25 to 1. The difference between the average programmer and a great one is at least that. The secret of my…

If you don't have enough followers, be sure to start a clumsy debate about VC vs Bootstrapping.

Be as opinionated, non-nuanced, and unhelpful as possible to incite max comments and quote tweets.

This has worked since the dawn of Twitter.

San Francisco boom loop here we come.

This city is way too awesome to let it go. Elections can put leaders who can replace bankrupt ideology with strong policies that help every citizen.

Elections November 2024— it's happening.

The Boom Loop Begins

Working on real projects, side projects, open source, and just making things for fun is the antidote to this

A lot of people with CS degrees can't actually build anything

But the world will unfold for you if you not only prove you can build, but that you build for fun
