🔗 Anthropic, AI and The “Numbers” Problem. "A $40 billion run rate with 40 percent net revenue retention is a different company from a $40 billion run rate with 130 percent net revenue retention. From outside, the two are indistinguishable. The valuation gets the same multiple in both cases. The first company is worth a fraction of the second. This is not a small problem. It is the entirety of the problem." 💬 Om It’s not an earth shattering observation. Anyone in ‘the business’ knows this. So it isn’t ignorance - it is deception. Also important … Om gets to it in a paragraph to get to where Ed Zitron... john.philpin.com

🔗 Scripting News "Congrats to my friend Manton Reece, a San Antonio fan, for their victory in the Western Conference last night. The Knicks will be playing them starting on Wednesday for the NBA championship. Knicks representing the east, Spurs for the west." @dave / @manton - I am thinking ‘Cage Fight’❓ Or is that a spectacle strictly reserved for tech billionaires running surveillance states?

🔗 The Copy and the Guru "Which is why I dislike this whole trend of digital twins, that has become gospel in Silicon Valley. The Wall Street Journal recently wrote about how prominent names in the industry are creating digital twins, because they are just so busy and it is better for the rest of us to engage with a copy." 💬 Om The problem with modern tech is that they don’t have any historical perspective. Did they never see 🔗🎬 Multiplicity

🔗 Who Is Nick Bilton? "I wouldn’t worry too much about CBS becoming another Fox News. Roger Ailes, who created Fox News, was a genius - an evil genius, but a genius nonetheless in the practice of manipulating the medium of television for political ends. Bari Weiss is not this sort of genius. Rather than being transformed into a sophisticated right wing propaganda operation, it is more likely that CBS News is just made dumb and pointless." 💬 Hamilton Nolan

I am often accused by Jax of being a ‘music snob’. ‘No’. I say. ‘I just know what I like’. According to Lin Fisher who writes: 🔗 I Confess, I’m a Snob seems to agree. Music is just one domain she looks at. Another is food .. on which topic Jax is an absolute ‘snob’ - though of course being a gentleman, I would never bring it up. In fairness to Jax, she sent me the link. "One kind of snob looks down at others. The kind I’m describing looks inward at self. One is about superiority. The other is about alignment. And the difference between the two is everything." 💬 Lin Fisher
I Confess, I’m a Snob
But not the kind you think

Thinking blogrolls on Micro.Blog. Could they work in the same way as Inkwell? i.e. don’t import an OPML - point to an OPML. I can see a collection of topic driven OPMLs that I can then expose in different places - but to only have one place that I need to update? Good idea - or am I nuts?
