i wonder how it feels to be financially free? free to go to sleep and wake up and think and do whatever you want instead of how you are going to settle the next bill. Free to pursue your passions. Anyone that is young - below 25 - this is the time for you to pursue your passions. Don’t underestimate youth. I have tried my hand at different startups and still trying because i do not want to be NPC. i don’t know want to be a product of my environment, i want my environment to be a product of me - that is what financial freedom does. the craziest part is that even launching a startup, especially a tech one requires a lot of money, especially now when govts have put even further hurdles. I wonder how much destabilisation the people that got rich (millions) from crypto (bitcoin, meme coins) and tech caused the accepted order. People went from NPCs to being major levers of their environments - for the good or bad. Tech from the last 25 years has been a major disruptor - created more financial secure individuals than at any other time. I wonder how this disruption has also disrupted prices of essentials etc. As a current NPC (non-player character), will i ever break free? Or perhaps the system is pushing back at me for the very fact i have been trying to break free for so long and that i should keep going. Maybe the system doesn’t try to stop you, but rather the matrix just tests your resolve, your will - if you give in, you remain an NPC.

What will be the most important field in the next decade?
Y’all complain about LeetCode interviews but omg have you seen Quant interview questions??
Wth is this bro 😭


Quant interview question:
You press a button that gives your randomly uniformly distributed number between $0 and $100K
Each time you press, you have two choices:
1. Stop and take this amount of money
2. Try again
You can try 10 times total.
When do you stop?
We created an entirely new state of matter and you’re still trying to learn Python.

Yeah I’m in a simulation. Elon Musk apologises and this happens to the Tesla Stock

OpenAI just hit $10 billion in annual revenue. In under 3 years.
That's faster than Facebook. Faster than Google.
And it the fastest-growing enterprise software business in history.
But the math is brutal.
They spent $9 billion to generate $4 billion in revenue last year.
They lost $5 billion.
Compute costs alone were $5 billion – more than their entire revenue.
Every free user is a loss.
But their numbers are growing fast:
500 million weekly users (5% of the planet)
3 million paying business customers (up 50% in 4 months)
90%+ of users still on the free tier
OpenAI has 80% of generative AI traffic (similarweb)
and they want to hit $125B in revenue in 2029 – and break even.
That's a 13x from current revenues.
And it would make them bigger than Meta. Half the size of Google.
Let's say:
500M --> 2B users (similar to facebook)
90% users on free tier
3M--> 30M business users with $500/month
That's $228B.
Ambitious? Yes.
Impossible? No.
Drivers:
AI agents
Subscriptions
API revenue
New revenue streams (affiliate, advertising, etc.)
Right now, OpenAI is valued at 30× revenue ($300B valuation).
Compare that to:
Google: 6× revenue
Microsoft: 13× revenue
Even NVIDIA: 25× revenue
Investors are betting OpenAI will become the Amazon of AI.
