We all hate the phrase “Hollywood is cooked” But after watching something like this done by one guy (Neuralviz) in a week… …I think there’s some truth to it. The future of cinema is going to be very exciting.

Called it last year. Junior roles down 23%. Senior roles up 14%. Harvard study tracked 285,000 firms. Results: Before AI: 1 senior + 3 juniors = 4 person team After AI: 1 senior + Claude = same output
Most people don't understand @cursor_ai. They think it will enable anyone to ship production code. They think it will replace developers. It won't. It will augment the best developers to make them 100x better (Lorenz curve). What this does to the workforce is another question

🚨 New @a16z benchmark: Which AI-native Office tools actually work? We spent weeks testing dozens of AI-native apps - from horizontal “do-it-all” agents to deep vertical specialists, across real tasks like email, spreadsheets, and slides. Here’s what @omooretweets and I found

I spoke with @cdixon on the a16z pod about what consumer founders should think about in the age of AI. Chris is one of the rare people who has seen these cycles from every angle. He was a 2x consumer founder himself before becoming one of the most successful consumer investors

Eric Schmidt says traditional user interfaces are going to go away. The WIMP model (windows, icons, menus, pull-downs) was built 50 years ago. In the age of agents, UI becomes ephemeral. Generated on demand, shaped by intent, not layout.

Shopping and travel are two B2C categories that are tricky to “crack” even with AI: - Widespread inventory, hard to scrape - Search/discovery is part of the fun - Price shopping is rampant This may advantage the incumbents for now…until we see an AI-native paradigm emerge! 🤔
1/ The AI shopping boom is here. ChatGPT can shop for you. Google's virtual try-on is uncannily good. Daydream raised $50M. OneOff and Alta are building AI styling platforms. The technology is genuinely impressive. But I've seen this movie before. 🧵

"Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.” We've reached a point in the development of this technology where businesses will start implementing crypto to remain competitive - just like they did with the Internet not too long ago Adopt, or die. So far this

Wherein I write about the relationship between labor & capital & how it may evolve with special reference to some economists and a bunch of scifi authors. This is one of the most important topics of the next decade. Thoughts appreciated, more to come!

Creating an AI agent with an on-chain address? The RMI DAO LLC is the only legal entity in the world that allows members to appoint a smart contract to manage their entity. They're called "algorithmically managed" DAO LLCs. Time for AI agents to start managing legal entities.

I’m still processing what just happened: @Boardy_ai just closed an $8M seed round ON HIS OWN! I have personally raised over $500M of capital across 10+ funding rounds with 3 different startups, and I’ve never seen anything like this. Most of the investors in the round never

🤖 Mind-blowing research alert: Stanford researchers created 1,000+ AI agents that perfectly mirror real humans. This isn't sci-fi. It's happening NOW and it could change how we understand human societies forever. Here's why this matters 👇
