The best, most comprehensive take on AI I’ve read. After a year of confusion and fear about the future, I finished it feeling like a weight had physically lifted.
It’s long. Make the time.
@vgr is undefeated.

I shared some thoughts in: "What Makes an Image Matter?" with @postanika for @sleekmag.

My voice insights from using @WisprFlow indicate I might be "pure cork" :)
Do ya know what I mean like?
So weird… my inbound and delayed flight to Berlin is already 150km south of where it was meant to land??

Switzerland gets a bad rap for being expensive.
Avocados, iPhones and San Pellegrino are all weirdly cheaper here.
In fairness, they keep the essentials reasonable :)

@sama is right. Inspiring to see those who meet that standard. Plenty have the intention to do it, but I am in awe of those who deliver on it consistently for real.
Sam Altman on VCs:
"The number of investors that actually show up and try to help you is unbelievably small.
Josh Kushner (@JoshuaKushner), absolute MVP investor, unbelievable, has worked around the clock for what feels like years to help us.
He's the only investor that I could point to that is proactively incredibly helpful all of the time.
The constant, relentless all-in support is surprisingly rare…but I think founders really love that and it actually moves the needle."
Knowing what good looks like at your investing stage feels like 90% of VC.
…The other 10% is doing no harm :)

Great interview with @ConnorPM, #angelinvest Venture Partner & @brdgapp CEO, who tells @businessposthq's @ChasTaylor he has "probably invested in more Irish startups" in the last 18 months through Angel Invest “than I did in the previous decade combined.”

I had the worst pitch meeting with a VC: @madelinelawren
She said no to our pre-seed, “you’re wearing the jerseys, but you're not a team yet”
Anyways, she’s now officially our CGO and late co-founder

SF vibes - while adding 40,000 students in the last week. Breaking our $7,000+ a day and closing schools in 3 countries.
Let's go

The biggest opportunity for would-be startup founders is AI. But the most underpriced opportunity is probably non-AI ideas. So if you have a good non-AI idea, go for it, because everyone else is going to overlook it.

Just hit 1 Million Students on SimpleStudy. Now off to San Francisco 🌉🚀
Don't do consumer ;)
I've joined @usv
Over the last few months we’ve rebuilt how we work @usv entirely. We’ve always loved being small in size (team; fund, relatively) but with tentacles that reach broadly. Now, that’s easier than ever with an agentic workforce.
The agents are on our emails and messages, pushing back, suggesting new ideas, finding opportunities. It’s a work in progress—so, as we always do, we like to publish it half-baked in the hopes that we’ll learn what we’re missing and where we can push further. If you’ve built an agentic workforce to change how your partnership operates, we want to share ideas.
