RT David Sacks (@DavidSacks)INSIDE NYT’S HOAX FACTORYFive months ago, five New York Times reporters were dispatched to create a story about my supposed conflicts of interest working as the White House AI & Crypto Czar.Through a series of “fact checks” they revealed their accusations, which we debunked in detail.

For years, the conventional wisdom was to put 100% of your energy into building, and to ignore politics.The problem was that those who put 100% of their energy into fighting, particularly politicians, would then take everything you’d built.Like the video game Civilization. If you put everything into science and commerce, while the next door tribe puts it all into swordsmen and slogans, they’ll waltz over and walk over you.The temptation is then to respond in kind, by putting 100% of your resources into figh ...
