Billion dollar app idea: automatically recognise a hotspot portal login page and launch it if you aren’t logged in.

1 day to build, $0.99 app, 1bn pissed off iPhone users, $700MM pure profit (if you live in Monaco)

The world is lucky that Modi hasn’t tried to properly politicise global Indian expat/immigrant communities yet - the Indian diaspora could have incredible reach, much larger than China

I absolutely love that this bill is called PELOSI. If that’s her legacy, it’s well deserved

The correct tariff policy would be to force large foreign companies to submit audited financials and then have a floating calculated tariff that offsets subsidies etc. This prevents market flooding like BYD. Arguably calculated against currency manipulation but that’s impossible to calculate.

Trying to change world trade with one time tariff chaos is like trying to dig a dry hole at the beach. As soon as you stop, the water comes back.

Now that Chinese policy makers have banned facial recognition without consent, I am betting on stronger IP law enforcement in the next 2 years as they capitalize on Trump’s weekend to draw foreign innovation and talent. They may also soften social credit score or rebrand it.

Trump deserves a Nobel peace prize - he is the great unifier.

Deep Research + o1 is unbelievably useful for VC analysts and entrepreneurs. Never again sit around and do hours of SOM, SAM, TAM analysis or competitor research…..

Prediction: in the short-run, the smartest AI model will win. In the long run, the most reliable and trustworthy will win.

Eg. Coinbase, Linux. This is also why open-source will win because it’s self regulating (eg Wikipedia)

Zuckerberg’s sudden switch to MAGA has nothing to do with Facebook / censorship, and everything to do with the copyright infringement of Meta AI.

Sam Altman, Zuckerberg etc. all need a magic presidential wand to make obvious theft charges go away. Probably even Google too, if there’s precedent.

Is OpenAI making a Betamax mistake by focusing on quality over price?

First he came for big tech, and I did not speak up because they’re dorks. Then he came for the auto industry, I did not speak up because I was not an auto exec. Then he came for carried interest, and there was was no one left to speak up…

The unaddressed part of the Trump/NATO underspending discussion is that nobody seriously believes that Trump would come to the defence of any NATO country triggering Article 5. The US will inevitably treat it as mandatory for its allies and optional for itself.
