Funding rounds aren't milestones. It shouldn't be your goal to raise a series A. It should be your goal not to need to.

You can't lose in entrepreneurship. You either win, or you learn.

Make sure you do not leave this world without experiencing first-hand the results of consistency. It pays greatly!

Over 20,000 of you have played this since Friday! The crazy part isn’t even this game Gemini 4 made, it’s how quickly the way in which we make games and bring our ideas to life has changed. A year ago, this would’ve taken a whole weekend of babysitting code and a ton of testing. And a little over that, getting games like Snake and Pong was impressive. For this one, last Friday, I had the idea right before a full workday, fired off an agent loop in the background with Gemini 4 Argon, and just went to work. For 2 hours, the agent worked entirely in the background, on its own: - It inspected the Tesla Roadster’s website for styles, copy, car details - Looked up references for Subway Surfers - Watched the Roadster launch on YouTube to understand how the thrusters worked - Critiqued and iterated on its own work several times - Generated music using Lyria and commentary using Gemini TTS Again, all while I was going about my workday. I wasn’t even looking at the chat, just playing the game every so often between breaks whenever the agent pinged me to check it out. In total, I spent maybe 10 minutes prompting a few quick tweaks to the controls and camera views before hitting publish in AI Studio. If you’ve been sitting on an idea in your Notes app because you didn’t have the time or didn’t know how to code it, now is the time to jump in and try building it. The way in which we work is changing in real time and it may be the most fun time to be someone with ideas. Imagine what a few more iterations of these models will look like.
I used Gemini 4 Argon to make Subway Surfers for the new flying Tesla Roadster 🚀 Fly over moving traffic, hit the thrusters to barrel roll in the sky, and collect air power-ups to set a high score. Play + code below!

I was speaking to someone today and found myself quoting multiple books I’ve read this year. Books really do make you smarter.

Six projects from the last few weeks that caught our attention: A wildfire analysis prototype that maps the fire’s spread over time and tracks hot spots, made with Opus 5.5.

lens today remains 100% focused on the same core vision we had in 2022. it all started with this: Lens Protocol Open Letter Social media platforms have created communities and allowed voices to be heard that might otherwise have been silenced. They have given us the power to connect across continents and oceans. But these platforms are centralized. They own our data. They control our monetization. They dictate our algorithmic distribution. It’s time to build a better way. The Lens Protocol is a decentralized, open-source social graph that returns control of information and links to the people. It allows content creators to own their digital roots and enables individuals to fully possess their connections with their communities. By signing this letter, you support a future where: 1. Creators own their content and distribution. 2. Users own their social graph and data. 3. Developers have open access to build innovative social experiences without the risk of being de-platformed. Let's build a new internet together.
