Paul G may be the "goodest" guy in VC / startups
Driving home from school it felt like life was perfect. Boy, dog, Defender, sunny day. Then we got home and perfect got better. My son's eagerly awaited copy of Under Milk Wood had arrived, and he read it out loud to me while I cooked dinner for us.

Remember to visit your mum often; good things will happen.
I went from idea to fully functional webapp in about 140 development hours per @Replit Ai. From my cellphone while sitting on my mom's couch over vacation, to refining on my desktop at home, a decade-old idea just became a reality in less than 3 weeks and for less than $60. Now

1/ Excited to announce Speak has raised a $78m Series C from @Accel at a $1b valuation! It' a huge milestone for us and continued validation of our founding idea: AI would fundamentally transform learning. 8 years later, we’re well on our way and believe this more than ever. 🧵

Chamath with a good take in education - pro school choice!

1/ I’m excited for Speak to be a featured use case for @OpenAI’s Realtime API launch today! We’ve been working closely with them on this API for a while. And speech-to-speech is going to be a game changer not just for Speak but for all software. https://t.co/V7QtYa61Xb
We’ve been working closely with OpenAI for the past few months to test the new Realtime API. I’m excited to share some thoughts on the best way to productize speech-to-speech for language learning, and announce the first thing we’ve built here, Live Roleplays. 🧵

Latest memo from @HowardMarksBook discusses the real economic tradeoffs of political policies, such as those proposed by @realDonaldTrump and @KamalaHarris. It's very good and the kind of thing political ideologues seem to not understand https://t.co/Ex30zVqI1o

Howard Marks explores free markets, "price-gouging", and rent setting. He argues against overriding economic laws for political gain due to societal loss.
