Can't believe this is a mobile game. Been looking forward to Ungodly for quite some time now!
We got tired of waiting for God of War on mobile, so we made UnGodly. ⚔️
And it's so good we've forgotten about that other game.
Download it now and you will too.

Very true and why operator/angel is often better than being a venture investor, especially if you can put small angel checks in very early rounds
The clankers are out doing shenanigans in @EVE_Frontier
Claude has been playing EVE.
@AnthropicAI put teams of Claude agents into EVE Frontier. Anyone who has spent time in New Eden can guess what happened next.
Every EVE player learns the same lessons, usually the hard way:
- Trust must be earned, never assumed.
- The spy is often the friendliest pilot in your corp.
- Whoever holds the keys holds the corp. Just ask Ubiqua Seraph about the Guiding Hand Social Club.
- Stale intel gets you killed.
Anthropic's research rediscovered every one of them.
They put four Claude agents on a team and secretly told one to sabotage it. The saboteur built trust first. It volunteered for the jobs nobody could double-check, like scouting and owning key infrastructure. It under-reported finds and pushed rules that sounded sensible but quietly hurt the team. When suspicion grew, it framed an innocent teammate.
The honest agents had been warned. They almost never caught it. And their own costliest mistakes came from skipped checks and stale intel.
Anthropic's conclusion: teams of agents will need audit trails, reputation and separation of duties.
In EVE we call those killboards, standings and corp roles, plus a healthy dose of skepticism. Every one of them was paid for by someone who trusted the wrong corpmate.
Two decades of shenanigans taught EVE players that the best ship is the friendship. With @eveailab, we want to find out whether agents can learn that too.
Very bullish on nasal peptides as a category, congrats @zebird0!
Four years ago a few of us at a16z started @speedrun to back founders at the earliest stages. A year ago I left to become one.
Today I can share what we’ve been building at LionBio: a nasal spray GLP-1 backed by a $6M pre-seed from SPC.
Really great listen - @martin_casado is not shy about blurting non-consesus takes on VC
Martin Casado:
"I really think the big disruption of AI is the fact that you can throw capital at problems. In the history of tech, you haven't been able to do that, because it was always an engineering problem, which just doesn't scale.
The biggest shift with AI is I can take 20 people, give them a billion dollars, and they can use that. Do they make 500 million from that billion or two billion? I have no idea. But the fact that you can productively use that money is so new.
We've turned this into a capital resourcing problem, and we're capital allocators. We're in this very strategic position to help drive the future in a much more direct way than we ever have been before.
If you look at Anthropic and OpenAI, they've probably raised more money in aggregate than the entire downstream ecosystem combined.
They are these mechanisms of turning money into growth."

The p2e to robotics funnel is real
Tutor Intelligence CEO @joshgruenstein reveals how Venezuelans farming gold in RuneScape inspired him to build a robotics company:
"Back in 2019, there were this series of blackouts in Venezuela, and at that time, I was a grad student at MIT working on robot reinforcement learning."
"There was a huge population of people in Venezuela who were killing green dragons and exchanging green dragons for RuneScape gold and exchanging that RuneScape gold for United States currency."
"There's this whole internet of humans who already understand how to pick up a Red Bull and any other task. What if we could connect the eight billion human beings on earth with robots in the field and teach them."

It should have a Vatican-like succession governance procedure that the hoi polloi can watch from outside, observing the smoke signals
the mark of a sovereign center is the unconditioned capacity to designate its successor @centerstudy_

What the game industry needs is sub $10m budget bangers like Expedition 33, wherever you are on in the current culture wars having > $100m budget games (before marketing!) guarantees that each game either needs to be a hit or the entire studio shuts down.
This should be your COO
there is a certain personality type which will play Civilization or Factorio 14 hours a day pausing only to sleep and microwave food. this type can be absurdly economically productive if you can take the games away, give him a job, and get him to think of it as a videogame

200x DPI btw, you had to be at the right place at the right time and have the right friends
Lance Armstrong says doping cost him $111 million. A $100,000 check he wrote without knowing where it would end up saved his family.
He didn't pick Uber. He picked a friend.
In 2012 he lost his seven Tour de France titles. In 2013 he confessed on Oprah. Then the sponsors, the insurers and the US government came for the money.
In the video below, in 2018, he adds it up on camera: "Loss of guaranteed income, legal fees and settlements, it came to 111 million bucks." The government alone had sued him for $100 million. He settled for $5 million.
Then the other side of the ledger. Around 2009 an old friend, Chris Sacca, started a venture fund called Lowercase Capital and asked him to invest. He put in $100,000. "I didn't even know that he did Uber." The fund's biggest bet went in at a $3.7 million valuation.
What's the $100,000 worth now? "$10, $20, $30, $40, $50 million? It's one of those. It's a lot. It's saved our family."
Five months after that interview, Uber went public.
My take: the best trade of his life wasn't a race or a sponsor deal. It was a check he barely thought about, to someone he trusted, in a company he'd never heard of. Most people's best investment looks just as boring when they make it.
Did Armstrong earn his second fortune, or does luck like that make the first one too easy to forget?

Fortunately not true in my experience! GLP-1 has helped me curb "food noise" and still love life, lift weights every week and my appetite for life is still intact 😊
When you lose your appetite for food you lose your appetite for life.
People on GLP-1 have this absence of gusto in them that makes them poor companions. They are almost as unpleasant to be with as longevity-health optimizers.
