Wow, what a troubling quote here from the CEO of AI image generator Midjourney. Zero consideration of the idea that people in China might want to use this to satirize Xi Jinping too, or how you incentivize authoritarians by exempting them from such tools. washingtonpost.com/technolog…

📣 Peter Pohar is on the road again
His first stop? London 🇬🇧
Landing on March 13th, he'll be out and about for some important business meetings, but he would still love to meet new people to connect with!
If you're in London as well, don't hesitate to reach out!

Over the last 10 years I have met with thousands and thousands of founders and backed over 170 startups.
Here are the reasons VCs pass on startups - some are rarely discussed and rather personal and nothing you can do about them.
Here we go

Every interesting outcome in my life was unpredictable and was the result of good habits, strictly practiced.
This is the opposite of “vision” “big, hairy, audacious goals” and “accomplishments.”
The best kind of success is continuous, every day, not occasional.
Few things speak more clearly about the dangers of cross-brand associations than the dispiriting view of Game of Thrones editions of single malts being discounted on the back shelves of the local deli.

Not on holiday yet so I'll allow myself one more thread...
The markets are crazy! NFT are just jpegs! Dog coins! Cat coins! Tesla ! GameStop!
Everyone is going to get burned! Don't they realize about discounted cash flows?!!! These people are ruining everything! Green energy?!

This is probably somewhat of a golden age of startup creation:
- we more or less know how to build startups now. Almost a science
- huge percent of talent pool works in tech
- capital so cheap and abundant
- still so many industries need much more software
The S curve is long.

Yesterday, a company called Canvas raised $50 million in funding, and Canva raised $200 million in funding.
Needless to say I am starting a new company called Canv.

Feels like two paths are emerging in NFT space.
(1) Build a universe but hold onto IP. Ex: @larvalabs deal with UTA (hollywoodreporter.com/busine…)
(2) Form a community to build a universe. Give all the IP away. See what happens. Ex: @lootproject
Personally like approach #2 better!
