Took my kids trick or treating in Palo Alto last night.
Here’s their haul:
▫️11 full-sized dairy and nut free candy bars
▫️2 term sheets from Sequoia and Accel
▫️$3,500 in OpenAI credits
▫️4 offers to “help review their YC apps”
▫️6 VCs who provided nothing but just said “let me know how I can be helpful”
▫️1 internship offer from Anthropic
▫️7 offers to “jump on the pod”
This place is the worst

This is not going to be pretty. My guess is things dramatically escalate from here 🛫
Still can't believe Qantas CEO sold $17 million of shares at the same time he was making the company buy $500 million of shares, all while knowing $15 billion of capex was shortly due, and the ACCC was asking them about selling tickets to flights that did not exist! $QAN

In 2017, I interviewed with Elizabeth Holmes to be Head of Finance at Theranos.
I'm convinced I learned more in those 45 minutes than I did in 10 years of school and work.
Today, she reports to federal prison to serve out an 11 year sentence for fraud.
Time for a story 🧵:

If you think of personality falling on a spectrum:
- One side being fully authentic
- The other being fully manufactured
The spectrum curves around like a horseshoe, such that the ends look remarkably similar.
For the life of me I could not tell which end she fell on.

A zoo in China organizes a “handover ceremony” for going from the year of the tiger to the year of the rabbit ahead of the Chinese New Year.
The results can't have been entirely unexpected

This is spectacular math. In opting in to a “no rules, no board, no CFO, two-bit auditor” game, your odds of $0 outcome went way up. Did you consider that in your EV calculation?

I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter.
So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out)
