Startups used to be about creating something new that people love Now it's all a dick measuring contest: - How much you raised, who from - How many impressions you get - How many dumb billboards you put up - Which girl you have thirst trapping for growth - How performatively

Yes+No. The average PhD may work for the average MBA. However, at an Elite level this is not always the case, most start their own companies or lead their own research labs. Eg. Jim Simons, Demis Hassabis, FeiFei Li. 6/8 "Founders of Silicon Valley" had PhDs including Bob Noyce.
Why do the PhD’s all work for the MBAs? 🫣

Un aplauso a la chica que llamó a la Roro Network para decir lo que pensamos muchos peruanos sobre la crisis en la que vivimos. Y hablar fuerte y claro sobre la brutal represión policial en las marchas frente a los comentarios tibios de algunos streams.

Yes, though I will still add that pretty much anyone in graduate school agrees that AI (Agents particularly) are slop. It is only the tech bro's that call API's & haven't taken a linear algebra class that think "it's so over"

You have no idea how much crap I got two years ago for saying stuff pretty similar to what guys like Andrej and Ilya are saying today.

When Karpathy sounds like Marcus, the gig is up: “Andrej Karpathy calls AI Agents slop "Overall, the models they are not there. And I feel like the industry [...] it's making too big of a jump and it's trying to pretend that this is amazing.””

This is common among the most successful startups. It may seem wasteful, but it's a good idea to have some extra money in the bank as insurance against disasters, and the most successful startups have that luxury.
Have *not* yet spent a single dollar from the money we raised 2.5 years ago!
