Dr Alexander D. Kalian@AlexanderKalian·
I first truly fathomed the scale of the AI bubble when I tried Y Combinator's cofounder matching service. As soon as I wrote that I was an AI PhD guy, I got swarmed with Ivy League MBA founder teams looking for someone to "do the AI magic" for their startup ideas. One team of three Harvard MBAs told me they had already secured $2M in VC funding to "solve the unit economics problem of AI". They just needed an AI guy to… you know… actually solve it (one of the toughest challenges in AI research right now). In return, I'd get 20% equity while they handled marketing, pitch decks, and whatever else - after the VCs took their cut. I still wonder to this day who gave three Harvard MBAs with zero AI expertise $2M to start an aspiring frontier AI lab. And this is just one of many stories. The situation is not normal or economically efficient. It is blatantly a speculative tech mania and hype-driven investment bubble.

It’s so sad to look at this photo. These could’ve been normal people. Just like you and me. But they moved to SF
Jonas@jonaswillett1

The IRL connection economy is a $400B+ market. And companies are racing to own it. In the last 6 months, $800M+ in capital was deployed on "IRL" bets. @Tinder invested $60M into a new Events feature for connecting matches in-person. They're pivoting to IRL and offering experiences such as speakeasies, raves, and pottery classes. @222place: raised a $10.1M Series A to curate blind social experiences for Gen Z. Personality-matched groups sent to hyperlocal nightlife events. @JagermeisterUSA launched BestNightsVC - the only venture fund in the world dedicated solely to nightlife and IRL connection. 16 portfolio companies across 4 continents. @timeleft: dinner with 5 strangers, every Wednesday. €18M ARR. 6,500 dinners/week across 200+ cities. Dion: members-only social app where the first move is buying someone a real drink, redeemed IRL. 10K members, 30K+ on the waitlist founded by @revekkapal. Pie: Bonobos founder @dunn built an IRL friendship app. $24M raised. 130K+ MAU. @weroad_official: group trips for 20-30 year olds who don't know each other beforehand. $150M valuation. Matchbox: is an algorithm-powered matching platform for IRL events and has powered over 100,000 connections. founded by @liamjmcgregor (prev @MarriagePact) New dating apps like Known @Celesteamadon, Cerca @MylesCerca, and Ditto @AllenWangzian are aiming to improve connection amongst young people. Billion-dollar companies are paying $$$ for community and events leads: - @AnthropicAI: Marketing Events Manager ($255k) - @tryramp: Community Manager ($223k) - @tryramp: Events & Culture Manager ($181k) - @duolingo: Senior Community Manager ($193k) - @NotionHQ: Community Programs Lead Everyone knows the more time we spend online, the more valuable real-life connection becomes. The question isn't whether IRL wins. It's who facilitates it best.

The only 3br, 2ba unit currently for rent in the marina offers outdoor laundry for $8750/mo. We must build nothing to protect this neighborhood character at all costs.
