@drewfallon12 @zachmeyer legendary foods, @DrinkCTRL
@girdley shake shack is no where near as expensive as five guys
laying bricks isn't mundane when you know you're building a cathedral
This is how founders should raise money if at all possible.
I don’t really have many VC horror stories. The worst ones are just meetings where there isn’t much interest. Everyone is still polite, but you can feel it’s not going anywhere. With my first company, I pitched a lot of VCs and got a lot of polite rejections. With Linear, I
decent argument that obsession will outperform skilled/expertise in the era ahead. curiosity and initiative are fueled by obsession, not knowledge…and access to knowledge is increasingly ubiquitous. k-12 curriculum should be focused on finding + pursuing passions
I strive to make my writing unsummarizable, in the sense that it has so little fluff left in it that if you take any words out, as summaries by definition do, you lose a lot of interesting ideas.
James Clear: "Almost every thought that you have is downstream from what you consume." "When you choose who to follow on social media or which podcast to listen to or which book to read or what YouTube channel to watch, you are choosing your future thoughts in a sense." "If you want better, more productive, more creative thoughts, then you need better, more productive, more creative inputs." @JamesClear on @hubermanlab
Seeing Martin Scorsese using FLUX for storyboarding and scene exploration was absolutely insane. Experiencing how one of the absolute masters of cinema & filmmaking uses the technology that we developed, his curiosity and creativity, and the way he prompted our models, was humbling. I am grateful to call Martin Scorsese an advisor to BFL, and to explore the next, multimodal and interactive phases of visual AI with him.
this happens in the horror industry about once every ten years or so and I can promise you they’re going to learn the absolute worst lessons from it.
@uploadthevid Return to your childhood obsessions and make new observations about them
Re: Obsession and Backrooms, Horror movies and psychological thrillers are experiences all on their own, even with unknown talent. Every other kind of movie now depends on expensive IP or nostalgia or known actors and insane marketing (Barbie / Oppenheimer / Marty Supreme).
Blumhouse-Atomic Monster has the #1 and #2 movies in the country this weekend, both made for almost no money. Theaters are packed. What a time to be making scary movies.
So sick
Kane Parsons (20) and Curry Barker (26) are now the two youngest directors in history to top the domestic box office.
Addiction is proof that you are capable of intense devotion, you're just serving a false god.
it’s kinda nuts how much social media turned almost all of lifestyle into performance art.
People treat imagination like it's a soft skill for children and artists, but it is the most dangerous capability a human being has
