We're announcing the public beta of datavendor.ai
We spent the last two years building the best solution for people buying and selling data, whether you're a researcher in a lab or a company trying to sell data.
Data is the fundamental bottleneck for AI progress, and DataVendor will be the infra that solves it.
I can put together a plan.
Send it to me.

reliability is what matters at scale. As we already reach abundance of intelligence for most economical tasks - reliability is what will matter even more!
Evals is the biggest bottleneck for enterprise adoption
Databricks Chief AI Scientist Jonathan Frankle (@jefrankle) says the bottleneck to enterprise AI adoption is evals, not models.
"The models are good enough at a lot of really complex enterprise tasks and knowledge tasks"
"the real challenge is describing what you want AI to do and knowing whether AI did it"

Most people who dream of a quiet life without work are just exhausted from work they hate. The reason you get bored on vacation after a week is that you are meant to move, pursue something exciting, and engage your body and mind in something useful. Do whatever it takes to find work that energizes you. It may take years, but it will have the most meaningful effect on your quality of life.
Someone put me in touch with Jason Beck …. I am going cover his flight back home.
Let’s get him the fuck out of Ann Arbor.
Man, I’m so tired of the negative Nancy bullshit every time some new technology drops.
Every damn time, it’s the same conversation. Jobs are gone. The economy is cooked. The world is ending.
Like damn, can we talk about what’s possible for once?
Nobody’s saying there won’t be challenges. But imagine how many businesses we can build, how many people we can empower, and how many new opportunities we can create.
Our job is to push humanity forward, not sit around scared of the future.
And I’m sorry, being pessimistic about everything doesn’t make you intellectually superior - you look more like a loser.
I think people are underestimating what Block is building.
Optimistic look:
Combine Square’s new POS hardware with Dessa, its voice AI, and small businesses could operate with the efficiency of much larger companies.
Lower costs, better margins, and fewer operational headaches mean more entrepreneurs can afford to open businesses, expand to new locations, and create jobs.
That’s the real economic opportunity of AI: making it easier to start, run, and scale a business.
Every small business owner, every entrepreneur, should be writing a thank you email to the @block team.

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Super fascinating, and this is the premise behind why I started Exceptional Capital. @ScottWu46
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of archetypes of an exceptional person. There is no single path, background, school, or résumé that predicts greatness.
What we want to understand is the “Moneyball” of human potential: which signals are consistently overlooked, which environments repeatedly produce outliers, and what patterns show up before success becomes obvious.
The goal is simple: identify exceptional people earlier than everyone else.
