April 17 2026 Mamdani Tax Pied-a-terre tax Dumb because second home will be taxed and thats the most elastic part of the market - so no one will buy second home in NY This is like a dog whistle - asking for United Healthcare CEO type shooting or Sam Altman home firebombing Maybe this is good for hotels This hurt London - land banking - so maybe it will work out for NY Maybe the solution is building more housing - like in Austin Its obviously good for the city to have billionaires park their money in these cities They also don’t consume resources but pay property taxes so its profitable for the city So this will hurt With the London situation rich people moved to other cities in Europe Transaction costs in LA and SF are too high (could be 13% of property) Your property is not safe in blue states - wealthy people will realize that - the political class thinks they can take a chunk of it OpenAI Internal memo shows targeting Anthropic and going after their market shar...

April 10 2026 Brad Gerstner back in for Friedberg Just do stuff - build and don’t ruminate Works at all levels of society and desires Anthropic Mythos Found many security vulnerabilities Good job setting up Project Glasswing - signed up a bunch of amazing companies like Google, Apple, etc to find vulnerabilities before hackers exploit them OpenAI and Google will likely do the same thing with their upcoming powerful models While Anthropic has a track record of scaring people alongside their product releases or fund raising - in this instance it does seem they have been very responsible Frontier Model Forum cooperates and coordinates on items of such high importance Why did they contact these software giants and NOT nuclear reactor makers, airplane manufacturers, airline operators, etc? Anthropic ankles OpenClaw Switch to API usage instead of $200 bundle Are they giving themselves an unfair advantage? Apparent competitors for OpenClaw Hermes Anthropic Claude ...

E265: March 27 2026 Anthropic on a generational run Jensen called Opus 4.5/6 an inflection point (similar as Michael Dell) Anthropic releasing features out the wazoo - incredible pace Company made an early bet on coding/agentic coding - working really well for them They make the best coding products People pitting Anthropic and OpenAI just for drama Both companies seem to be accounting revenue differently and the businesses are quite different Emil Michael apparently smeared in article about his involvement with Anthropic and potential rivals - classic deflection by leftists OpenAI losing share? Risk is low because its very well established Could become the default consumer AI app - like how people pay for phones and electricity - OpenAI could be there Could be new platform like smartphone App store Google has a strong position here - they could release their own OpenClaw - people already trust them Impact of AI on valuations One thing that can help is looking at ho...

All In Interview - Michael Intrator, Aravind Srinivas, Arthur Mensch, Daniel Roberts - Recap and Notes - March 22 2026

March 23 2026 (from NotebookLM) Interview 1: Michael Intrader (CEO of CoreWeave) Company Background: CoreWeave didn’t start as an AI cloud company. They started in 2017 as an algorithmic natural gas hedge fund, pivoted to crypto mining (Ethereum) using GPUs, and then moved up the complexity stack to CGI rendering and medical research. The Pivot to AI: In 2020/2021, they bought A100 GPUs and donated them to a volunteer open-source project called EleutherAI. When those researchers went back to their day jobs, they demanded CoreWeave's infrastructure, which launched their AI training business. Their first large commercial client was Inflection. Where They Sit: CoreWeave operates "above the Nvidia GPUs but below the models," focusing solely on the infrastructure and software integration needed for purpose-built AI clouds. Thinks of Inference as monetization of the training of the model The "Box" Financing Model (Important Concept): Intrader explained how...

All In Interview - Matt Mahan - Recap and Notes - March 22 2026

March 22 2026 (from notebookLM) Intro Matt Mahan is the current Mayor of San Jose and is running for Governor of California. He grew up in a working-class family in Watsonville, went to college on a work-study scholarship, and spent a decade in the tech sector building civic tools like Causes and Brigade. He decided to run for local office after knocking on 10,000 doors and hearing voters complain about paying high property taxes without seeing basic services delivered. State Spending, Dysfunction, and Accountability California has increased state government spending by 75% ($150 billion) over six years, but outcomes have remained flat or worsened. Mahan points to the state's high-speed rail project as a prime example of a lack of accountability, noting that $14 billion has been spent over 20 years on consultants, lawyers, and environmental reviews without delivering a product. While there is outright fraud—such as $30 billion in fraudulent pandemic unemployment claims—...
