We want more kids doing activities like these👇 And off their phones. So there’s more time interacting with their peers and less addictive doomscrolling. It’s why the social media ban for under 16s will come into effect tomorrow. We’ve already removed phones in public

Two conversations this weekend make me think that there's a vibe shift afoot in Silicon Valley around what one should work on and what is worthwhile. Culturally, it feels like the moment is ripe for new frameworks: • Davos expert morality is stale and discredited. • It's also

🙏SF friends: my former husband passed away two years ago and left our son his bike. It was stolen from his flat in the Mission. 😭If you see it, we would be so grateful for any tips. It’s pretty sentimental.

I know this is old news, but it is totally wild how transformative it is to work with ChatGPT as your co-pilot. Making slides for our investor update and the ideation, creation, and visual output is just insanely more efficient. 🪄
