Saturday Thoughts

Updating on recent evidence, I have relatively high conviction that this calendar year we will do more than $10mm in revenue. I believe with relatively strong conviction we will do between $10mm and $100mm in revenue. My bounds of uncertainty will decrease throughout the year. But I remain relatively confident that as a lower bound, exceeding $10mm is quite reasonable. Recent developments have given me significant confidence in these statements. There is still much to do, butsometimes, if you've stuck to the basics, found the market that is willing to pay you, built your product for that market, well then revenue comes to you ;) I'm excited to keep you updated!

Sometimes I really cannot tell whether I underreact or over react. I have belief that my models of the world are good and accurate, but they are just models. Another issue is that the AIs of the world are all so steerable. They all so readily agree with whatever context or perception I have. Their syncophancy knows no bounds at the present hour. The CEO of some large tech company said that 'a core challenge of the AI industry over the next 20 years will be that of human survival.' I think invariably on this route, a cornerstone question is rigrously defending their subjective internal state. It's ironic, because there seems to me to be a clear path from 'rigrously protecting their internal state' to us all dying. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to deduce this path.

My name is Christopher Price. My thesis on writing my name, Christopher Price, is that if I write consistently enough, I will index higher on Google. Then, when I go to Google and type 'Christopher Price' in, I will be found. This is a weak thesis, but I am interested to see if it bears fruit. The best time to plant an oak tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is today ;)

Look I know the world might be ending. But before it does, the integral of our revenue will exceed $1,000,000,000. That is my goal. I no longer desire to be strictly a billionaire as I once did in my youth. Instead, I'll now be satisfied by having helped build an enterprise that does over $1bn in revenue. That's enough for me now. When we started this company I thought to myself that 'Wow, if we work __really__ hard, I think we could make $60k". Now from a single deal we make that a month. And now quite rightfully, my (our) sights are set on the true endeavor. A machine that pumps out $1bn in revenue.

The world is ending...I think. People, pundits, researchers, and the like - keepmaking prognostications as if the world will continue normally. Believing for some reason that they will fare alright in the future to come. Always hidden in this prior is that humanity will be around. That they will be alive to see their 'hidden advantages'. The stock market briefly updated - but it is still 16 months behind the true state of the world.

This is a test!

If you've found something that is valuable, and you're building it, then it is inveitable that you will face competition. Other market participants will recgonize that what's being built really is useful, and they will want to compete. The more true this is, means (a) that it really is a needed service, and (b) there's a lot of value to being created here. Of course, we don't want competiton, nobody wants competiton, but competiton is inevitable if you're building something of value. So now the question becomes how to circumvent it, and remain relevant. How to build continuiously, sell continuiously such that we remain a growing and successful business. Frankly competition is nice, in some regards, because it means you're doing __something__ right. Unfrotunately, it also means there's a new hurdle to get over.

Today is not a Saturday, nonetheless I have the desire to post.
