We just raised a $60M Series B at a $1B valuation to build @daytonaio into the Agent Cloud.
@FirstMarkCap led the round, with all key existing investors and angels doubling down.
We're also thrilled to welcome the founders of some generational companies aboard, including @patrickc (Stripe), @tobi (Shopify), @AravSrinivas (Perplexity), @BrendanFoody (Mercor), @oliveur (Datadog), @adamdangelo (Quora) and @ericsyuan (Zoom)
We're a 35-person team. But that's about to change; we're hiring across the board, and we'd love for you to join us.

🚨 Do you understand what happened today.. a single Monday..
> Zuckerberg announced he's building AI to do his own CEO job.. after firing 31,000 people to "protect" it..
> someone bought $1.5 billion in S&P futures FIVE MINUTES before Trump announced halting attacks on Iran.. the biggest insider trade in broad daylight..
> then the Pentagon started deploying airtroops to Iran anyway.. the "peace" lasted 12 hours..
> then Iran launched missiles at Israel tonight.. so the peace someone made $1.5 billion off of was never real..
> OpenAI started guaranteeing Wall Street 17.5% minimum returns AND early access to unreleased models.. nonprofit to "we'll pay you to invest in us"..
> Jensen Huang told Lex Fridman "I think we've achieved AGI".. then walked it back in the same sentence.. the man selling the shovels just said the gold rush is over and expects you to keep buying..
> Claude launched an AI that sits at your desk and does your entire job while you're not in the room.. shipped it as a Monday night feature update..
> Goldman Sachs raised US recession probability to 30%..
> the owner of OnlyFans died at 43 with $3 billion.. couldn't buy more time..
> Larry Fink called tokenization "the next internet" after calling Bitcoin money laundering for years..
all of this.. one Monday.. if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..
it's only getting crazier from here.
🚨 This week was the most insane week in tech history and most people missed half of it..
> the Pentagon adopted Palantir as the CORE US military AI system.. the government just picked its AI.. and it's the one that builds surveillance software..
> Peter Thiel's Founders Fund put $2 billion on a cow collar startup.. GPS collars for cows.. they call their algorithm a "cowgorithm".. two billion dollars..
> OpenAI announced they're doubling their workforce to 8,000.. the company that told everyone AI replaces jobs is hiring 3,500 more people to build the thing that replaces jobs..
> HSBC announced 20,000 job cuts.. 10% of their entire workforce.. because AI made them unnecessary..
> Jensen closed Nvidia GTC with singing robots and a digital clone of himself.. then said the chip market will hit $1 trillion..
> Bernie Sanders sat down with Claude AI on camera.. asked it about mass data collection.. and the AI snitched on its own industry to a US Senator..
> Elon launched Terafab.. a $25 billion chip factory.. then said money won't exist in the future and you'll be able to take free trips to Saturn..
> the Big Five are spending 94% of their operating cash flow on AI infrastructure.. Amazon is projected to go $28 billion negative.. Alphabet's free cash flow is expected to collapse 90%.. they're borrowing money to keep the data center lights on..
> Reddit CEO said they're considering Face ID to prove you're human.. because they can't tell who's real anymore..
> a guy from North Carolina used AI to make hundreds of thousands of fake songs.. botted billions of streams.. and walked away with $8 million.. first-ever criminal AI streaming fraud case..
> Tim Cook told people to stop doomscrolling.. the CEO of the company that designed the most addictive screen ever made..
all of this happened in ONE week..
if you're not following me you're finding out about this a week late from someone who read my post..

Just in case Gen Z is trying to understand what happened today:
Claude was mogging OpenAI for weeks. Then this gymcel dev ships Clawdbot which was the fastest growing OSS thing ever, absolute looksmax for the whole ecosystem.
Anthropic tries to dairygoon him with legal. Dev renames to OpenClaw. OpenAI slides in like a foid-pulling Chad with acquisition interest. OpenClaw gets acquired by OpenAI.
Now Anthropic is getting jestergooned by the entire timeline and OpenAI is gigamaxing off their fumble.
Anthropic could've just let him cook. Instead they went full moid and got outframed by the jestermaxxers at OpenAI.

A perspective on turning thirty from @sama : The days are long but the decades are short. Make it count, don't forget family, whether or not money can buy happiness, it can buy freedom, be around smart, interesting, ambitious people, learn voraciously. Also, lack of money is very stressful. Be a doer, not a talker. Exercise. Eat well. Sleep.

1/ I’ve heard it said that to be a great VC, you have to be both contrarian in your thinking and also right. Well, here’s my latest contrarian bet: this is the perfect time to launch a blockchain podcast! @ReDeFined_talks pico.link/redefinedpodcast

I love tracing consumer apps that are now huge back to the very first Reddit post about them.
It's an unvarnished look at the original "wedge" - and the level of doubt every new product is up against.

I’m seeing a lot of misunderstandings around our updated privacy policy that need to be clarified.
