My favorite thing @om wrote was actually an interview with Brunello Cucinelli in 2015. And to this day, I think it’s the single best thing you can read on running a business. Better than any book, better than any article.
Read it:

The Royal Society for Blind Children and the National Deaf Children's Society have both come out against the Starmer social media ban.
"Internet bad" is a trendy, upper-middle-class opinion for people with extracurricular budgets that ignores legions of people who rely on it.

Fable isn't the first.
In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold.
Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.

A few days ago I had Claude Fable 5 pick out a donut for me. Today it became clear: the US government knows this kind of power cannot fall into the hands of foreign nationals. God help us all.

It has been so much crazier than just this. The tell all books in 10 years from every corner of industry will be something else
Running a company:
2020: can you survive a pandemic?
2021: still here? we’re going to give all of your competitors $100m series A rounds.
2022: wow, you made it? okay, all engineers cost $600,000/year now.
2023: nice job! okay, SVB failed and we’re going to take away your bank account.
2024: a survivor I see. but can you pivot from ai to crypto to defense tech back to ai-enabled defense tech in a 12 month period to stay relevant?
2025: unfortunately all of your competitors have raised $2b series B rounds. oh and only 500 engineers are relevant and they cost $100m/yr each.
2026: well, well, well. you’re still in business? let’s deploy the thunderclap of godlike LLMs from the heavens so all of your customers can rebuild your app in 2 hours. can you survive?

It's pretty insane how different running a company has been over the last three months.
Claude code CLI is now the command interface for everything.
Everything is connected and accessible via MCPs.
Software is bespoke and instant.
This moment feels far far more important than the world waking up to gpt3.5.

Not trying to backseat heist here but if I successfully robbed the Louvre, I would simply not try to leave a country in the Schengen area via its only hard border

Storing natural gas is nearly free, 1000x cheaper than batteries per kilowatt-hour. Solar PV needs storage that cheap. I'm leading Standard Thermal to do this. Our testing over 2 years has overcome some of the biggest barriers, so I wrote about it.
