Bucket list item complete as I got a mention in Mary Meeker's Internet Trends 2019 Report. Even though it's a footnote, it counts, right? bondcap.com/pdf/Internet_Tre…

Yes, AI agents are helping consumers search, discover and compare.
But transacting or buying? Only in the fringiest of fringe cases

The only thing that would sway my vote this election is six text messages from an unidentified number during my work day.

Reddit call was absolutely fascinating. Everyone should listen to it as a bellwether for where the internet is going
- AI Mode is increasingly default Google experience
- AI Mode provides rich info and data in line, less incentive to leave search
- AI Mose incentivizes dialog, Google wants to keep you engaged to serve more ads at each turn
- Google will milk search for as much revenue as possible as they transition from a search company to a cloud service and chip company
- As traffic from humans becomes more scarce this will put Google in an increasingly adversarial position to the rest of the internet
- This is a massive headwind to all media type companies who are not destinations
- This is a massive headwind to all content-driven go-to-market motions especially in the SMB. You have seen companies like HubSpot and Monday.com get crushed by this funnel collapse
We are entering the end game - a knife fight for the remaining and dwindling volume of human traffic on the internet
If the @Yankees ever did this, I'd empty our 529 account to pay for it...
Ever wondered what it would be like to hit at an MLB ballpark? 🤔
For the first time, you and up to 7 friends can book a private one-hour BP session at Globe Life Field! Hit from home plate off a pitching machine, operator included, then head to the outfield to shag balls while the rest of your group takes their cuts.
Each hour runs $900 plus taxes and fees for the whole group. Wooden bats, helmets and baseballs are provided, and you’re welcome to bring your own gear!
Have a bigger group or parents who want to watch? Guests beyond the 8 can watch from the third base dugout lounge, and private sessions are available for larger parties.
Dates are limited and sell first come, first served. Check out the link in our bio to book your session!
They're just looking for the Knicks Snapple bottles.
FBI and NYPD Carry Out Search Warrants Across Brooklyn

This is incredibly hard to watch, but should be required viewing in every college.
Screams Before Silence is a documentary film led by American businesswoman Sheryl Sandberg (@sherylsandberg) that explores the sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas members during the October 7 attacks, including events at the Nova music festival massacre and abductions of hostages into the Gaza Strip.

This is my thesis: no one uses AI. I repeat, absolutely no one. We live in a bubble.
Even among my friends who pay for it, when I ask them to open ChatGPT and show me their queries, it’s the same handful of basic things.
Most don’t even know they can upload a photo and ask questions about it. Connecting Gmail so an agent can read and send emails blows their minds. An agent opening a browser and checking them into a flight? They’ve never even heard of it.
The massive challenge right now is adoption, and then getting people who already signed up to actually use what they’re paying for. Most have absolutely zero clue what’s possible.
Imagine the compute shortage when everyone starts using AI like the top 1% of users do today.
98% of US households aren't paying for AI yet

On 3/20/2000, Kozmo filed their S1 showing ~$3M in revenue and a ~$30M net loss. The NASDAQ was at ~4,600 that day, near all-time highs. One month later, it was at 3,300. A 30% drop. #justsayin
Anthropic IPO prospectus leaked to Reuters
Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the prospectus.
The prospectus details how the company has grown sharply in the last year — while also posting wider losses. Revenue grew 12-fold in 2025 to nearly $4.6 billion, even as the company lost more than $8 billion on an operating basis, excluding writedowns of various liabilities mostly tied to previous fundraising, according to the documents, reported here for the first time.

I don't understand the people supposedly saving all this money by having their AI agents find/cancel unused subscriptions. Do they not look at their credit card bills each month?
I know the prices of beef are insane, but when @shakeshack runs out of burgers, we may have reached crisis stage.
So refreshing to see fans and players act like actual human beings.

"My father Michael Massaroli...you do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate. We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that, it's a tragedy. I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them. That's wrong. That does no honor to the victims here...please stop."
