Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone.
No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum.
Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too.
Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund.
It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital.
And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee.

Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital.
Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring.
But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line.
This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in.
Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition.
But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital.
USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages.
It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere.
There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction.
USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid.

When I was in Australia last December, I found it impossible to transact with any business where there weren't latent government price controls or subsidies of some kind. I came to the realization that with the public sector growing about 5x faster than the private sector, Australia was well on the way to an effectively government run economy, communism by stealth. I dug deeper - the point of no return occurred in about 2013.

Introducing Claude Design by Anthropic Labs: make prototypes, slides, and one-pagers by talking to Claude.
Powered by Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable vision model. Available in research preview on the Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, rolling out throughout the day.

Some notes on how I got a coding agent to work for 13 days straight:
Self-verification: the agent needs to be able to end-to-end verify everything itself. Design efficient testing layers that make sense for your project, and make sure the agent can effectively loop on them to prove correctness.
Write spec documents: work with the agent to fully specify goals, full implementation details, and verification in a document. It's almost always fruitful to iterate on this multiple times. This could be anywhere: a Notion page, or just a simple .md file.
Use a running to-do list: break down complex work into a to-do list that you can see and edit. As you think of more things for it to do next, you can just add more to-dos. This could be anywhere: a page or database in Notion, or a .md file.
Adversarial review: as a step in the process, the agent should ask another agent to review the spec and implementation and make sure there are no gaps. Force the agent to loop on this until it's totally aligned. This can use sub-agents if that's supported, or you can design a simple CLI that calls another agent. The key thing is to invoke a fresh agent context.
This was for a prototype of a new product. It's easier to do all of this on a small codebase, but the principles work anywhere.

We should chat. I rebuilt OpenClaw just using Claude and discord. It’s been a proper blast. (I’m not a dev)
English
been doing this for days before the repo, you don't really need a repo you just need to understand how claude works inside PPT to know how inefficient it is and how good claude is with code... ive rebuilt gamma inside claude.

He just admitted that government spending is what is keeping the economy going…… the NDIS scam is not a scam. It’s economic policy and ‘spreading of wealth’ @DrewPavlou

What an absolute Gronk 🙄🤦♀️ Zero justification for spending $20 million dollars of the taxpayers money on the dumbarse ads to save fuel but rather tell the TV presenter here that well the money goes to her network! WTAF 🤦♀️

@sandileswana @grok how may south african cargo ships and oil tankers use this passage?
English
As of April 2026, South Africa has been granted safe passage for its cargo ships and oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz by the Iranian government.
While Iran has effectively closed or strictly limited the waterway to the United States, Israel, and their allies, South African-bound vessels are being allowed through without interruption.
Current Status of Access
Official Iranian Clearance: The Iranian Embassy and Ambassador to South Africa have confirmed that the strait remains open specifically for South African vessels due to strong diplomatic ties.
Government Assurances: South African Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Gwede Mantashe, has stated that cargo destined for the country is passing through "without interruption," and there is no immediate risk of a fuel shortage.
Selective Passage System: Iran has implemented a de facto controlled transit system. Friendly or "non-hostile" nations may receive escorts or passcodes to navigate the corridor, while "enemy-linked" vessels are blocked.
Impact on Fuel Supply and Prices
Despite having physical access to the oil, South Africa is still heavily impacted by the broader regional conflict:
Price Surges: While supply is physically reaching South African ports, global oil prices have spiked significantly, often trading above $90–$100 per barrel.
Inland Costs: Fuel prices at the pump in South Africa were expected to increase by over R5 per litre for petrol and R9 per litre for diesel in April 2026 due to international price volatility.
Insurance and Logistics: Global shipping through the strait has collapsed by roughly 95% for general traffic, leading to higher insurance premiums and freight costs that contribute to domestic inflation.
Strategic Context
Source Diversification: South Africa primarily sources its crude oil from West Africa (Nigeria and Angola) and the Atlantic Basin, which reduces its direct day-to-day reliance on the Strait of Hormuz.
Strategic Reserves: The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources reported that the country holds approximately 8 million barrels of crude in its strategic fuel stock to manage short-term disruptions.
Cape Sea Route: With the strait largely blocked to major Western powers, many global vessels have diverted around the southern tip of Africa, increasing maritime activity and bunkering demand at South African ports like Algoa Bay.

@steipete I don’t understand why it’s sad — likely 5% of users are running up 50% of compute and likely 50% is wastage on no productive code.
They probably had a choice: limit ALL TIERS and users on Claude, or just shut off the leakiest bucket to ensure Claude Code users are served well

While I think what Anthropic does is sad for the ecosystem, I wanna give Boris credit for doing what he can to soften the fallout.
Today's release will include some fixes for better cache use, to lower cost for API users.
Boris Cherny@bcherny
We're big fans of open source. I actually just put up a few PRs to improve prompt cache efficiency for OpenClaw specifically. This is more about engineering constraints. Our systems are highly optimized for one kind of workload, and to serve as many people as possible with the most intelligent models, we are continuing to optimize that. When you use an API key or overages it should still work. The issue was just subs. If you still want to cancel, we're giving full refunds. We know not everyone realized this isn't something we support, and this is an attempt to make it clear and explicit.

Been running Claude Code as the backbone of an autonomous agent for 45+ days now.
The permission model was the biggest friction point — either you babysit every file write, or you go full YOLO with --dangerously-skip-permissions.
Auto mode with a safety classifier is the right middle ground. The real question: how does it handle chains where step 3 looks safe but only becomes destructive in context of steps 1-2?
That's where agentic workflows get tricky. Looking forward to stress-testing this.

Claude@claudeai
New in Claude Code: auto mode. Instead of approving every file write and bash command, or skipping permissions entirely, auto mode lets Claude make permission decisions on your behalf. Safeguards check each action before it runs.
