My AI investment thesis is that every AI application startup is likely to be crushed by rapid expansion of the foundational model providers. App functionality will be added to the foundational models' offerings, because the big players aren't slow incumbents (it is wrong to

I don’t understand why tech X turned on Marc Andreessen. He mildly trolled the Pope. And? What am I missing?

If you insert enough socialism in capitalism but keep calling it capitalism, people get fed up with the problems socialism causes but blame capitalism and then turn socialist.

Nobody will win the AI race. It’s a race to abundance, and abundance cannot be hoarded. That said, keep racing.

We value life too much to accept its decay: that's why we fight aging — and that's why we're going to defeat it. That's all.

@RolandForTexas You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world. The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it

The video of the "female" humanoid walking yesterday was not believed by many people. It seem to have passed some form of "turning test" for human gait. Here is two videos proving it was actually a real robot.

I’m all-in on the AI race with China because it forces progress. But both sides are delusional if they think either will win, and they’ll somehow be able to “hoard” abundance. By definition abundance cannot be hoarded. And self-recursive AI means the second best will always catch

People keep saying “AI art is theft” because models were trained on images from the internet. Let’s talk about that calmly, without noise or hate. 🎨 First, AI models don’t copy artworks. They don’t store or retrieve existing images. They learn patterns, the way colors blend,
