Just learned that ATI(GPU) now Radeon was from Markham, Canada and was acquired by AMD. ATI pioneered GPU in 1985 and Nvidia was created 8 years after. Another example of Canada fumbling hard. https://t.co/suMocLvCWX

Exciting to see IBM putting open source models that you can fine tune and host on the edge. I predict that we'll see the same fate as databases for current LLMs. Open source. https://t.co/NTJLReVGwn

Genuinely curious how people in SF will sell to each other if you can one shot an internal tool? This is different for infra type of work where no one wants to maintain.

Tempting to do rage bait posts to grow follower count but holding back. Unfortunately I’m not pretty enough to thirst trap either. Are there example accounts that have high follower counts with good content?

Congrats to @Mathew415814362 for being published! Didn’t realize that I was interacting with one of the ex open AI cofounders while hanging with you and in the office almost every day for the last few months! Humble people.

This is the coolest thing I've seen! It's like vibe coding for chemistry. Let the AI cook and see what breakthroughs happens at a large scale - 24/7. Exciting times!

A real structural advantage of the Bay Area ecosystem is that there are concentration of high-earning tech employees creates this accessible layer of angel capital that just doesn't exist at the same scale elsewhere. My friend works as an AI PM at one of the big tech giants.

Growing up, I was taught: don’t deviate from the template, don’t ask questions, don’t disagree. The penalty? Punishment, shame, isolation. As a child, people told me I’d literally burn in hell - that the devil would devour me. Now I’m a founder. The job literally requires me to

Worked from a friend's office today. One of his employees heard my pitch and wants to intro me to the CEO of one of North America's largest food chains - thinks the use case extends beyond life sciences to F&B. This never happened in Toronto.

Embodied AI might be the differentiator to get funding or not. We’re nowhere close to doing chained tasks for general purpose robotics. You would need AI researchers who can create new models on your founding team. The rest is much easier to source. Of course, it’s a much

Did you go to the @UWaterloo and are now living in SF? Do you miss Lazeez? Do you miss Shawarma Plus? Do you miss being able to eat garlic sauce without shame? Same. So @edenchan and I are hosting the first-ever Waterloo Wine and Shawarma Night on Thursday December 11th in

A person that you swiped right on a dating app suddenly corners you mid date that they’re searching for a cofounder. What would you do ?

The best way to build a network in San Francisco is to build something Not by going to events. Not by sending DMs on LinkedIn Ship it and they will come

May I seed you - says the VC to a founder as they grind away near the end of the current YC batch.

Celebrated a friend closing their $5M seed round. Counted maybe 5 women in a room of 100 people. The cap table is easier to crack than the dating scene out here.

If I was to start a robotics company - I would tap into Japan and Korea. They have high density talent of roboticist. People there have been dreaming of real-life robots from watching anime/manga such as Gundam, Evangelion, Astro Boy. Japan especially has this unique thing

People don’t realize humanoid robotics in China is state-mandated. The government incentivizes every manufacturer with grants and subsidies. It’s industrial policy - like they did with EVs and solar. North American companies? Fighting for VC dollars with zero coordinated support.
