One fact that seems fairly apparent, but I haven’t heard stated out loud: the Power Law is directly derivable from just applying the Pareto Rule repeatedly. 80% from 20% 64% from 4% 51% from 1%

Illiquid markets are always *super* concentrated. Even more so 8-10 years ago. 90%+ of interest 2015-18 was in <10 names (Uber, Airbnb, Snapchat, SpaceX, Palantir, Spotify, Lyft...). Say another 5-8% in next 10 (Robinhood, Coinbase, Square, Slack, 23andMe, Stripe, Dropbox...).
OH: "There isn't a secondary market, there's a list of 20 companies with infinite demand for their equity."

Nah. I think Garry's post is great. Silicon Valley has this taboo against ever criticizing founders because it's not "founder-friendly". That's BS. Look, the job is crazy hard. But everyone — founder or no — has a duty of care to society. To work toward a future to be proud of.

This APIfies all public knowledge. New meaning to "organize the world's information."
Today, we're launching the Parallel Monitor API. Define a query once and receive ongoing updates whenever new related information appears on the web. It's like a web search that's always on, or a webhook for the entire web. https://t.co/azInRFoJQh

It would be very funny if Cursor ends up being the most valuable AI company of this era after all the talk (from me included) about how bad the app layer is, is all I’m saying.
We've raised $2.3B in Series D funding from Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Thrive, Nvidia, and Google. We're also happy to share that Cursor has grown to over $1B in annualized revenue and now produces more code than any other agent in the world. This funding will allow

Damn their slidewriting game has gotten a lot better.
Slide from Softbank earnings on OpenAI being significantly faster to $10B in ARR than the largest companies today Softbank owns ~11% of OpenAI from their Vision Fund 2

Quality of outbound is a predictor of a company's future success. I really expected better from an erstwhile-Slootman company.

For those misunderstanding the report... "to drive a 10% return on our modeled AI investments through 2030 would require $650 billion of annual revenue into perpetuity which is an astonishingly large number." This is referring to the entire AI "industry". Not just OpenAI or

God @UPS has such terrible business practices, and I'm glad Amazon and others are slowly putting them out of business.

Annual US spend on… Software: $400B Professional services: $2.8T Logistics labor: $1T+ Healthcare admin: ~$1T Education labor: ~$1T That’s $6T+. Global is probably 3x. Every market is up for grabs. ALL of them. If you don’t get that, you aren’t ready for what’s coming.
"to drive a 10% return on our modeled AI investments through 2030 would require $650 billion of annual revenue into perpetuity which is an astonishingly large number. For context that equates to $180/month from every NFLX subscriber"- JPM That's why Sam is begging for a bailout

Something I've been noodling on recently... I think software is the newest art form. Fashion, food, architecture... and now pixels. I was in a recent conversation where people were talking about their favorite types of art: painting, architecture, photography... I blurted out

It literally weirds me out how much Vir Das (the well-known comedian, left) and I (the lesser-known comedian, right) look like each other.

This will never get old. My dear sir, we will complete this in the next ~hour. It's both — amusing that the LLMs forget their own speed, and — awesome that we can now do things at 10-50x the speed

My wife asked me to steam my shirt. Fine. Then she asked me to steam the t-shirt that goes under the shirt, and would be barely visible. I think I married a psychopath.

Incredible. @immad and the @mercury team have built an insanely good product and business. If you're a founder / finance leader and you're not using them for banking, you're leaving serious productivity, effectiveness, and joy on the table.
Today @FortuneMagazine ran a piece on @Mercury celebrating: * 3 years of profitability * $650m in annualized revenue * 40% year on year active customer growth * Building a long term + sustainable + trusted service for our customers Thanks @agarfinks for the write up.

Spot-on analysis from Hunter. Most people lack theory of mind. But in this particular case, I think the interviewer is quite happy to lord this over Sydney Sweeney. Physiognomy doesn't lie: some people make this smug expression so often that it's etched into their wrinkles.
The thing you have to remember about this woman and those like her is that she genuinely doesn’t know that anyone disagrees with her basic worldview. She doesn’t even see it as a worldview. It’s just the obvious truth. Of course she knows abstractly that half the country voted

OK, this is really cool - @haridigresses is the guy I go to for advice on any complex operating challenges; super thoughtful, has the right connects, and extremely smart. Launching this is pretty much right up his alley. Dare I say.. everything he's done (and pretty much who he
