As I'm writing my blog post Claude automations and things that didn't work, I guess I could just summarize it with: "Use speech-to-text more and fewer Claude commands." Babbling your brain dump on a task to the machine beats any static prompt.

One of the most important learnings a VC needs to have, ideally early in their career, is distinguishing the generational from the merely good. This is an inherent advantage that someone who has worked inside of a Tier 1 venture firm, or someone who has worked inside one or

If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived

I was asked how we feel about investing in first time founders. I thought about it and realised that if you do not back first time founders as a VC you might not back the next Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft or Revolut..just to name a few. Many of the most spectacular

Reddit user shares how ChatGPT fixed a medical issue they had for 5 years. Replies are flooded with users who had the same condition, and finally found answers too. Superagency!

We tested a pre-release version of o3 and found that it frequently fabricates actions it never took, and then elaborately justifies these actions when confronted. We were surprised, so we dug deeper 🔎🧵(1/) https://t.co/IdBboD7NsP

Most people have no clue how rare a 5x fund in vc is. Reading all the rhetoric about how a portfolio of small funds will somehow result in an easy 4-5x is not realistic. 5x+ funds are essentially unicorns
