Said on The WAN Show

“There's really interesting stuff happening in what I'm calling the hardware hacking space… when there's this much crazy hardware out there because manufacturing is shifting more and more to the high end, specifically enterprise, the scrappiness that is coming out of that is actually really cool… I don't think it's over with the 170 and the BC250. I think we're barely starting.” — Luke Lafreniere, The WAN Show

“What if, as a company like Alphabet or Microsoft, you just made billions of dollars every year and were like, good job? And then just made billions of dollars. What if the stock price didn't always have to go up?” — Linus Sebastian, The WAN Show

“I'd rather an LLM scoop it up and then be able to give me the answer than it be gone into the ether. Maybe that's a controversial take, but I've seen so many forums with so much useful, valuable history just disappear, and it's so sad. If it's preserved in some way, even like a weird, creepy ghost of it, I think that's better than nothing.” — Linus Sebastian, The WAN Show

“The same thing that's destroying all of the websites that they relied on to build their advertising business is coming around to eat their own tail.” — Linus Sebastian, The WAN Show

“It's the gambler's paradox: you can look in the past and feel that you understand the patterns and the formations in the charts. And that can give you a false sense of security that can be reinforced by getting it right a handful of times. But if you roll a six 10 times in a row, that has no bearing whatsoever on whether the next number will be a six. And when so many of these companies are traded on vibes, predicting which way they're going to go can be a fool's errand.” — Linus Sebastian, The WAN Show

“It's really interesting to me to hear people claim, oh, the globalists did, or the politicians did, someone did this to us, moving all the manufacturing offshore. But it's like, do you shop at Temu? Just asking. When was the last time that we as consumers made an active choice to buy something that was made onshore instead of offshore?” — Linus Sebastian, The WAN Show

“The problem with the AI industry is that they are consuming all of these finite resources and utilizing them in their own way for maximum shareholder profit with no regard for the consequences… I know that multiple hyperscalers are buying this stuff knowing that they have absolutely no way of powering it, simply so that their competitors can't get it. And so hoarding… that's bad.” — Linus Sebastian, The WAN Show

“All your partners have to know how they work. And anytime anyone knows how something works, that can be bought. And when there's… literally like hundreds of billions of dollars of hardware to be unlocked, the stakes are so high that somebody will pay someone and access will be gotten.” — Linus Sebastian, The WAN Show

“I think I've been very tolerant. I have stubbornly refused to use ad blockers of any sort in spite of their easily accessible nature for over a decade now… I don't even think that's a crazy line to draw. Like, my whole page cannot be ads.” — Linus Sebastian, The WAN Show

“I think if we're going to have respect for the art, we have to have respect for letting the artists cook for as long as their corporate overlords will allow them to and create the best finished products they can.” — Linus Sebastian, The WAN Show

“…My big issue with this is that YouTube was the one platform that I could still point at and go, hey, there's a shred of integrity left in publicly available analytics that help us all understand how the attention economy is working. And they're basically just torpedoing it.” — Linus Sebastian, The WAN Show
