Our team's @aubriepagano on the question almost no one is asking via the @greatchatpod this week: https://t.co/FNZp4GNzOv

18 hours in Vegas. Anyone in town?

👋 We’ve been working on something new & we’re finally ready to let people play with it. It’s an “app for AirPods” called BeeBot – think of it like a social city guide emceed by an AI-powered radio DJ. I wrote a giant blog post (manifesto!) about it here:

BONUS: @aubriepagano on The Aquarius Economy https://t.co/1WsblyYvp8

Handmer ignites space industry. Poseidon raises $11M for GEVs. Vulcan secures $1.4B deal with USG. RFDiffusion designs antibodies de novo. China does first-ever thorium-to-uranium conversion. +Aquarius ++ Space DJ +++ 3 things What a week for the optimists.

Innovation isn't building something new. It's seeing what everyone else sees and asking why it has to be that way.

Excellent analysis by @rebekah_bastian in @Forbes on the @AquariusEconomy white paper by our team's @aubriepagano and @JoshJagota95 exploring what happens when intelligence becomes as abundant as water. https://t.co/vfT9Zf4cNO

♒ Our white paper is finally live! ♒ Part investment thesis, part science fiction, part existential crisis. But if you've been craving more substantive thinking and an antidote to the AI slop we are overrun by, this is for you. LINK: https://t.co/ILT1cpRn7W

@aubriepagano @AquariusEconomy 8/ Read the full 40-page paper + listen to the audio version: https://t.co/79RiUDELne Fair warning: It's dense, sometimes terrifying, always hopeful, and asks more questions than it answers. #AI #VentureCapital #StartupFounder #AquariusEconomy

@aubriepagano @AquariusEconomy 7/ Every word was written by humans, without AI assistance. Because if we're arguing that human spirit will define the next era, we better practice what we preach. (Though we did get AI help for the audiobook—narrated by Burt Reynolds 🎙️)

@aubriepagano @AquariusEconomy The paper identifies 3 massive blockers to AGI adoption: 🔋 Energy (60M lost power in Iberia from voltage issues) 🏭 Foundational industry resilience (450K manufacturing jobs unfilled monthly) 🤝 Agent-human coordination & trust These are also our biggest opportunities.

@aubriepagano 5/ The @AquariusEconomy maps out a future where human agency becomes our greatest differentiator. It's part investment thesis, part science fiction, part existential exploration of what makes us fundamentally human.

@aubriepagano 4/ "If we assume full automation is approaching, it begs the existential question: What is left for individuals to do?" The answer lies in human agency: our ability to be efficacious, optimistic, and imaginative.

3/ As @aubriepagano put it in her Substack today: "Here's what made me lose sleep, though: This isn't just another technological shift. It's the last economic cycle built upon labor scarcity."

2/ What happens when artificial general intelligence arrives and inference becomes nearly free? When traditional labor models collapse? When intelligence becomes as abundant as water? These aren't distant hypotheticals. The transition is already underway.

Today, we're proud to share The Aquarius Economy, a provocative new white paper from our General Partner @AubriePagano and Principal @JoshJagota95 . It asks a critical question that lies behind all the headlines about AI adoption: What happens when AGI arrives? 🧵

“The Guggenheim — rendered with a custom-trained AI model by artist @emilyxie_art and @titlesxyz. In prompting the model, we were inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's distinctively organic architecture, seemingly futuristic yet classically recognizable. These elements are
