Miles Deutscher has Claude searching the property market every day so he can get to good deals before other buyers “I do a lot of property investing and I'm looking into some development stuff. And what I essentially do is I've got parameters that are fed to Claude” “It scans the property market in my local area every single day and it lets me know if a listing comes up under my parameters cuz I want to be like first to see it” “So if a block of land that fits my parameters in the area that I like at the price that I like, with other parameters, for example, it needs the right zoning, then it can flag a potential opportunity for me as opposed to me having to scroll manually through a real estate website”

Toto Wolff says Mercedes asked him how Williams won a race with $100 million less, then hired him to run their F1 team “I was at the time running Williams with the founder, and we also won a race. One of the board members approached me and invited me to Stuttgart, and he said, ‘How can it be that your private little team can win a race, and we, Mercedes, can't do any better than that?’” “I came back and said, ‘What is your aspiration?’ They said, ‘Winning World Championships because we bought the team that did that.’ I said, ‘Okay, then one of us is wrong because I'm working on the same budgets, and I'm thinking about finishing in the top six.’ They said, ‘No, it's not the same budget. Look, we spend 100 million more.’ I said, ‘Yeah, those 100 million, you spend on Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg. I have a pay driver from Venezuela’” “‘That's the main difference.’ They didn't like that situation at all. I said, ‘I'm just a messenger, and I'm going to go back to Williams.’ Eventually, they came back and said, ‘We think our model, a corporate running a Formula One team, doesn't function. It needs to be much more entrepreneurially led, and we want you to run this’”

Toto Wolff says he helped a teenage hacker sell his company to T-Mobile for $250 million “I found out that there was a web portal, a free SMS web portal called SMS dot at. And what you did, basically, you wrote your SMS on the interface at no cost” “I found out that this was run by a teenage boy in Graz, Austria. I visited him with the idea, ‘I'm gonna raise money for your company.’ When I said to him, ‘How do you do that?’ he said, ‘I'm hacking. I'm hacking into the SMSC servers of the big telcos’” “Eventually, they find out that the data volume was bigger than on normal days, and they shut me down. And I said, ‘Okay, and if that happens, what do you do?’ He said, ‘Well, I have a plan. For example, today I'm running on Nigeria Telecom, and next week it's gonna be Norway’” “We put it in an entity, and I started to visit Telekom Austria and T-Mobile, the two biggest Austrian telcos. They said, ‘We hate SMS dot at. We absolutely hate it, but we can't shut it down. What is it we can do together?’ Eventually, within two years, that nonexistent company was sold for 250,000,000 to T-Mobile”

Miles Deutscher used Claude to scan his bank statements and found subscriptions from old businesses he forgot to cancel “Honestly, when I did this last month I was shocked. It's the subscription leak hunt” “Claude will go through all of your bank statements and it will try and identify subscriptions, and it can actually pull this into a spreadsheet so you can see what you're actually spending on subscriptions” “How many subscriptions do we have these days? I've got like Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon. Then I had all these business ones that were running from past business ventures where it was on an annual plan and I forgot to turn it off, and not all of it's in the App Store cuz some of it's on a different credit card”

Miles Deutscher gets AI to build a stock trading strategy and place orders on a $100K virtual account “I just asked it to find me the best performing momentum strategy across Nvidia, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon over the last two years. Backtest it with realistic fees. Show me the equity curve and set it up to paper trade on my Alpaca account with $100,000 and run the first cycle. Show me the orders that it places” “Okay, so it just ran the entire command. Firstly, it started by generating an equity curve of the momentum strategy versus a buy and hold strategy. Then it generated this dashboard so I can track the strategy and the total returns” “By the way, I don’t actually think critically this is a very good strategy … And you can see that we’ve got the orders that were triggered on my paper trading exchange … without real money”

Jon Bernthal says seeing his real daughter at the grave in The Punisher broke him “I couldn't see her. And how selfish is that, right? But I knew I couldn't see her until I saw her at that grave” “I didn't write that for my daughter to do it. My daughter's really not interested in being an actor. The director, Ray, just said, ‘What about Addie? Would she make a tape?’ And so she said she'd make a tape, but I had to promise not to show it to anyone. And then she made it, and I was like, ‘Holy moly, this is really good’” “I hadn't seen my daughter since I started pre-production. And then the first time I saw her was at that grave, to look up and she was there. It cracked me. It broke me”

Ethan Hawke says no actor has ever topped Jack Nicholson’s run in the ’70s “I’d debate this with anybody. Greatest decade of an actor ever … 1969, ’70 to 1980. From Five Easy Pieces, Easy Rider … The Shining” “Well, there’s a handful of people in the mix. Denzel’s in the mix. De Niro’s in the mix. Pacino’s in the mix. Jessica Lange … Meryl Streep. There’s some greats” “But for me, The Last Detail, Chinatown, Reds, The Passenger … the list is really long. He’s just cranking out phenomenal film after phenomenal film, and he’s brilliant in them. And it also should be noted, it’s a great era for movies. The movie business is kicking ass”

Ethan Hawke says he was jealous of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck when Good Will Hunting came out “Good Will Hunting came out, and I was so jealous of those guys. They arrived much more formed. They knew themselves, and they knew what they were doing” “They knew what kind of actor they wanted to be when the world saw them. And I was learning on the fly … these guys lapping me and passing me” “I’m not any better if they don’t succeed. And when you’re a kid, you’re like, ‘Oh, he’s succeeding, so I suck.’ There’s no relationship there … It’s the easy way out, just to look like, ‘Oh, if they weren’t succeeding, I would be’”

Rasmr says some Crypto Twitter guys use fancy language to act like they're smarter than everyone “These people speak in a dialect of English that communicates to each other, like they're communicating that they are smart in the way they say things. And it's like an in group, out-group thing” “It's like a dialect of English that high-IQ people are using in order to feel like they're better than everyone” “I realized this 'cause I was an econ major, and this is how professors and nerds and high-society people talk to each other. It's like either you're in it or you're out”
