A new address. A street you don't know yet. A paddle in the rack, waiting your turn. That's how a lot of Americans meet their neighbors now. Opendoor is the title sponsor of the 2026 Pickleball World Championships. Dallas, October 30 to November 8. 🏡

For years, Opendoor's renos were done based on Google docs. Every home, regardless of its peculiarities, renovated to more or less the same standard. As of today, machines are starting to draft the plan on a home by home basis. I'm nearly certain this is a first in the world.

I'm currently arguing with Cursor over state of some Linear projects being wrong. Sitting right next to me, my son is arguing with ChatGPT over it forgetting Nauru being smaller than Tuvalu. It is a Nejatians vs. Agents morning.

We've been quite bad at pricing luxury homes. We're going to push out a change in the next few days that should make this much better. Buying luxury real estate is not what we show up to work to do every day, but software should not have obvious flaws that are not fixed.

The X Safety team conducted an investigation into suspected Chinese inauthentic accounts involved in influence operations: We identified a bot farm of approximately 200,000 accounts. Within this farm, we found 200 accounts posting in a manner that could manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy. These posts contained claims that AI data centers are driving up household electricity prices and straining the grid. Others included AI-generated cartoons that depicted data-center operators enriching themselves at the public's expense. We remain committed to maintaining an open and authentic platform where people debate topics of public interest. We take seriously any attempts to undermine the integrity of the global town square and suspend accounts that violate our Authenticity policy.

I shared this note earlier today with the entire team at Opendoor. Today we began to say goodbye to our colleagues in India as we wind down our India operations. Our customers are in America, and that's where our operational work belongs.

UTC is UTC because the English wanted CUT (coordinated universal time) and the French wanted TUC (temps universel coordonné.) So they compromised on UTC, which makes no sense in either English or French. This describes the state of the world perfectly I think.
