This just landed on our desk and it was too good not to share... A good match is never an accident. More coming soon. 👀 ❤️

The more customers you visit in person, The more customers you close. The more revenue you retain. And the more they buy from you. As true in the Age of AI as it ever was.

This conversation between NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang and @patrickc is definitely worth a watch. Here are some highlights: 16:18 - his POV on having 60 direct reports & how to deliver 1:1 feedback 22:40 - the concept of zero billion dollar markets, preference to be a market maker v. market taker 35:55 - assessing the size of the compute market in the next 5 years and the token-based industrial revolution(tldr - it's MASSIVE) 48:20 - on AGI's arrival 50:09 - "You aren't going to lose your job to AI; you are going to lose your job to someone using AI." The same goes for your company. 52:06 - on developing chips and software using AI (they can't do it without it) 56:00 - why fine-tuning your own model is important 1:01:00 - Craft, beauty, and love within their products ("Simplicity is not simple") youtu.be/8Pfa8kPjUio?si=SiE3…

I'd like to announce that @Golden has been acquired by @ComplyAdvantage. This takes us on a new mission of using the knowledge graph to fight financial crime. Comply Advantage is an AML (anti-money laundering) company which performs KYC (know your customer), KYB (know your business) and general transaction monitoring. They catch the bad guys in the systems you see all around you in banking, fintech and pretty much anytime money moves around. Golden and Comply Advantage will merge their knowledge graphs and data extraction systems, putting them to use to catch bad actors, whether these be companies, legal structures or people. The merged entity of Golden and ComplyAdvantage has become a unicorn upon the transaction, and I’ll be joining the board to advise and further this mission. It has been a monumental journey for the team and I since we launched back in 2019. I'd love to thank the team members, past and present, for everything that has been built and created over the years. I'd also like to thank our investors for supporting us all the way. Comply is run by some fantastic people including their founder @delingpole and CEO @VatsaNarasimha, and is backed by great investors including @balderton @IndexVentures @GoldmanSachs If you are in need of KYC/KYB/AML or transaction monitoring, ping us! Looking to the future - I'm excited to be joining the board, and will continue to ramp up the investing I've been doing, while learning new technical fields.

If the police believe the sight of a Jewish man might provoke violence from protestors, then the answer is simple - ban the protest. This would, of course, have been the outcome if the far-right were protesting and intimidating any other minority group. (1/2)
“You are quite openly Jewish. This is a pro-Palestinian march. I am not accusing you of anything, but I am worried about the reaction to your presence.” Enough is enough. It is time for a major change. On Saturday 27th April — the next anti-Israel march — we are asking you, Jewish or not, to stand up for the tolerance and decency of which this country is so rightly proud, simply by going for a walk. For those who want to walk together on the 27th, we will suggest a time and location where people can meet, which we will post on our social media accounts on the 26th. If you would like to be notified of the suggested meeting place and time by e-mail instead, please sign up at antisemitism.org/walktogethe….

Walked into a restaurant in London’s Chinatown last night, While waiting to be seated, some drunken fool, a person I’ve neither met before nor interacted with, sitting with other drunken fools, looks up at me out of nowhere, and asks rather loudly- “Are you Jewish?” I was Stunned. I wasn’t dressed in anything traditional, nor had anything indicating my faith. The fact that it’s a bizarre thing to ask, not this idiot’s, business, and just a weird thing for him to have done, I was just shocked - realizing that fairly a year ago he wouldn’t have had the gall to do that 1 million different responses raced through my mind- And to my surprise, (and I’m sure to my Mom’s satisfaction,) the one I chose was to just turn to my friend, carry on talking - and ignore the sheer stupidity I encountered. No point in wrestling with a pig. You both get dirty & the pig likes it. My pride in my Judaism is not going to override my common sense. Wishing you all a lovely Sunday

It’s really important to recognise just how antisemitic & Holocaust minimising the claim Gaza was a “concentration camp” prior to 7/10 truly is. Especially as the claim is used to justify the invasion of Israel, the intent of which was to torture, kidnap & mass kill Jews

Events like the holocaust become possible when the idea that Jews shouldn’t defend themselves against terrorism becomes normalized. Nobody wants innocent people to be killed. If you’re calling for a ceasefire, ask yourself: why that instead of calling for hamas to surrender? Don’t you remember what they did less than a month ago?

Arnold @Schwarzenegger has a powerful message for those who have gone down a path of hate.

Tomorrow at 12:04 on @BBCRadio4 #YouandYours is one of the most important programmes I have ever contributed to. It’s not about billions of laundered funds, it’s not about Russian Oligarchs. 1/3

There’s very few people in Britain today doing such a great job explaining antisemitism to wider public as @Baddiel. It is not “and other forms of racism”. It’s racism. (Also 👏 for possibly being the 1st person to refer to Schrödinger’s cat on @GMB)
Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended by The View following her controversial comments about the Holocaust when she said 'it was not about race' @Baddiel tells @susannareid100 and @adilray that Goldberg's comments reveal 'a lot about the confusions people have around anti-semitism'
