Marc Andreessen's new interview, on the future of AI.
"There's like a rotation from software into hardware.
It's possible all the value accrues to the chips, and the energy, and then software is all open source."

@_Timdoyle I have never seen an actual personalised or contextual post-purchase offer from ROKT, just a carousel of mostly random coupons and offers, how would this solve their problem?

Yeah, I’ve heard something like this before. Like many times. For decades.

@marcrandolph @HarryStebbings I didn’t interpret this that way. Angel investing is gambling for most folks with awful returns. Why would a founder spray capital around when they could focus it on something they control far more? Sure, take $ off the table but only bet on others when you can afford to lose.
English
Betting everything on your own company is a negative signal, not a positive one.
The truth is that shit happens.
Things you have no control over.
It’s simply prudent to always hedge your bets.
Even taking 10% of your stake off the table means that you’ve still got 90% working for you.
If it hits, then you'll never miss that last 10%.
But if your company crashes, you’ll end up with nothing.
For all my companies I’ve always taken money out when I could. I’ve never regretted it.
Oh … and one more thing. Unless your CEO is already wealthy, letting them diversify ensures they are fully aligned with their investors about shooting the moon since they are not worried about the “I end up with nothing scenario”.
Just saying.

If you're going to spend a lot, buy things that won't decrease in value. Not because you expect to sell them later, but because if you don't you're a mark.

@JeffBezos @Polymarket JUST IN: Polymarket founders have never had real world jobs and think McDonalds and Palantir are the same.

@Polymarket Nope. Not sure why polymarket made this up. 🤷♂️

JUST IN: Jeff Bezos advises aspiring Gen Z entrepreneurs to start at real world jobs like McDonalds or Palantir before starting a business.

It's worth thinking about what he means by "dumb things." It's clearly a bit of a euphemism. I think he means (a) dangerous things and (b) politically incorrect ones. And (b) may have been a bigger factor than we'd expect now. This was 2017, remember.
Haider.@slow_developer
Sergey Brin admits Google messed up by under-investing in the transformer architecture it invented Google was too scared to release chatbots that "say dumb things", so it under-invested in scaling compute "we didn't take it very seriously... and openAI ran with it"

The story of Airwallex (so far) as we cross an US$8Bn valuation on the journey to 100Bn. Exciting times and I've never been more bullish on the path ahead 🚀
Jack Zhang@awxjack
Stripe offered to acquire us for $1.2 billion when we had $2M in revenue. Today, we've raised $330M at an $8B valuation and reached $1B ARR. We could've died three times during this journey. This is the story I've never told anyone before:

one last thing on ads. if i’m google, i wouldn’t run a single ad on gemini core. i’d run it at a pure loss until every competitor is forced to slap ads everywhere just to keep the lights on. can you imagine if google is the ad free experience?!?
google has the luxury of monetizing from the search surface, not the model surface. ai overviews already give them the monetization vector. nobody else has that. everyone else is basically subsidizing their model with nothing but vibes & runway.
just by shipping consistently & leaning on the distribution they already own, google has backed itself into what is probably the most advantaged incumbent position in the entire ai market. it’s almost unfair.. like a predator that survives the harshest winter known to man because it has more way more fat stored than the rest of the biome.
