So happy that the hostages are home... so worried about this & hope reporters follow this story / don't pivot away. I am no expert but it feels like what happens here is critical for if the cycle just resets... again. Might not be the popular story, but it is impt one.

Our three year old thinks AI is a meme and keeps saying "aiiiii" like "sixseeeven" ... the funny thing is he is probably right.

Request for startup RE-MOVE — Marie Kondo 2.0 (re-shop-your-own-shit every few years is the future of commerce)… especially in high tariff world when America already has all the crap we need, just poorly distributed.

Money... the three things startups need to learn to do... ✅ raise it well ✅ spend it well ✅ make it well These days lots of people are figuring out raise it.. some like OpenAI can raise it and spend it... but you need all three to be really good.

Prediction - in 2030 the majority of robots that people actually interact with will still be focused on butt cleaning / toilets as they are today.

The reality? without AI narrative we can't get even close to GDP growth needed to deal with debt (it is our chinese housing for computers since we have fewer people...) so if everyone is kinda colluding believing the story, so be it. tomorrow's MOL

AI workloads will go up.. just not clearly profits... the big trick is getting cheap capital for low-margin-infra (and hurray for the delta!) tomorrow's MOL

I've been a huge fan of MeritFirst from the beginning - @zganieany and @lessin are building the best platform for hiring and are both amazing people. Strongly recommend that every company and candidate check it out. The rise in status games and bad hiring has hurt everyone.
We raised $6M+ for @MeritFirstUS, co-led by @8vc (@JTLonsdale @andrewoetting) and @slow (@lessin) with participation from @rauchg to restore merit to hiring and help revitalize the American Dream, where opportunity is promised and outcomes are earned.
