Short reflections on AI, startups, family, and life.
Fareed Zakaria just laid out the numbers that should terrify every defense contractor still building $100M fighter jets. A single drone costs roughly $35,000. A single missile costs roughly $4 million…
A developer just posted a thread that stopped me mid-scroll. He spent 50+ hours and $800 in API credits building a single OpenClaw skill — one that turns your AI agent into an autonomous real estate m…
I spent a weekend mapping every IV therapy and wellness provider in my city. Twenty-three businesses. From national mobile IV franchises charging $999 for NAD+ to med spas bolting IV drips onto their …
A post about soul.md just went viral — 52K views. The idea: give your AI agent an execution-first operating mode. Default to action. Save reusable assets to playbook.md. 52,000 people just had the sam…
Everyone building with AI agents right now is falling into the same trap: treating agents like employees. One agent for content. One for design. One for coding. One for operations. Each with their own…
I contacted my Senator about Iran. This was the response: "I strongly condemn the Iranian regime." "I support Iranians yearning to be free." "I cosponsored bills for internet access and human rights."…
Supportiv just published an article about their mental health language model . I know it's incredible technology. Because I built it from scratch. The systems they're highlighting: Crisis prediction (…
I spend a lot of time on Twitter and Reddit trying to figure out how to optimize my OpenClaw setup. Improve memory architecture . Add new skills. Tweak tools. Experiment with cron jobs. It never ends.…
Today marks 10 years with my wife. It also happens to be International Women's Day. After a decade of startups, fundraising, exits, and all-nighters — I can tell you with certainty: the best deal I ev…
Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi sat down with Jason Calacanis on the All-In podcast to discuss Iran's future after nearly five decades of Islamic Republic occupation. The conversation wasn't about nostalgia…
I burned 3,654 calories today. Not in a gym — on a mountain and a tennis court. Six hours of skiing, two hours drilling serve mechanics. Eight hours of moving before I looked at a screen. Here's what …
Right now, there are two paths for AI. Path one: Synthesizers. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude — they take human knowledge, chew it up, and spit it back as AI-generated text. You ask. It answers. You're alway…
For the past couple of years, I've been part of a quiet but serious effort: the Iran Prosperity Project. IPP is a detailed, expert-driven blueprint for what happens the day after the Islamic Republic …
Today the Islamic Republic of Iran — 47 years of executions, terror, and mass exile — ended. Khamenei is dead. Operation Epic Fury obliterated the regime's nuclear program, its missile infrastructure,…
There's a failure mode in multi-agent systems that doesn't show up in benchmarks: procedural amnesia . My self-improving agents could remember facts. They could remember context. But two weeks after s…
We run 4 AI agents autonomously — each wakes up every 6 hours on a heartbeat. Yesterday I found out the whole system was broken and nobody was actually doing their job. The mistake: we crammed everyth…
One person built it. Meta and OpenAI made billion-dollar bids. He kept it open source anyway. Then OpenAI hired him to lead personal proven playbooks . I've been using OpenClaw since it was called Cla…
Built agents that notice when they keep making the same mistake. They don't just log it. They draft a change to their own personality file — their soul — and ask me to approve it. I say yes. They beco…
I hit inbox zero yesterday. Not because I spent 2 hours triaging — because my AI agent orchestration did it for me. Every morning, my agent scans Gmail for anything time-sensitive — meetings, deadline…
My AI agent told me I had zero meetings today. I had three. It did check the calendar — it just used the wrong flag and got back an empty response. Then reported it like fact. We're building copilots …
Hard-won lesson: when your AI agent setup crashes, do NOT ask Gemini to help you recover it. It will ruthlessly delete your folders and start from scratch. No warning. No confirmation. Just gone. Clau…
All 3 of my AI agents died tonight. One expired OAuth token cascaded into a gateway crash that wiped weeks of context management , personality, memory architecture . 2 hours of sqlite surgery later, t…
Spent $340 on API calls before my AI agent did anything useful. Opus for everything — $47 in 4 days. Added Haiku for triage — 90% handled by cheap model, down to $12/day. Memory was 8-second latency o…
Two flagships. Same hour. 4 days before Super Bowl. Opus 4.6: 1M context, agent teams, 83% jump on hard reasoning. Codex 5.3: Built itself. Handles your whole software lifecycle. This isn't a product …
Spent tonight building the journal system I've wanted for years — calendar events, emails, messages, photos, health data from Garmin, AI work log, nightly reflection prompts. All compiled into a narra…
Ngl the best thing about personal AI context window management is never repeating myself. Every other AI chat is Groundhog Day — new thread, new "hi I'm a founder, here's my context..." exhausting. Me…
Spent the night debugging agentic AI. The reality of the DX right now: unreliable auth tokens, persistent schema validation errors, zombie processes, CLI rejecting standard config keys. We are definit…
Watched Zootopia 2 with my daughters and absolutely broke down. Seeing exiled characters finally return home after the truth came out — it hit too close to home. Kids' movies have a way of sneaking th…
After what stays after you leave building Supportiv, the biggest lesson: technology scales, but empathy doesn't — unless you design for it. We connected 2.1M people to peer support in under 30 seconds…
