This quote from Peter Thiel in 2014 has always resonated with me. Finite and infinite games aren’t only for business; they also apply to life generally.
“People always say they want to live every day as though it will be their last. I always have this contrasting view that I think I’d like to live every day as though it will go on forever. If we had an indefinite life span, we would continue to work and start great new projects, we would be very careful about how we treated the people around us because we would encounter them again.”

The Marketing Engineer is the most important hire a marketing team can make in 2026.
Not to run campaigns, but to build the agents that run them.
Today we're introducing a new role to the marketing org:
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿
We believe every business on the planet will eventually need one. Their job is to build the Agents, automations, and systems that create a new kind of marketing. Part-builder, part-strategist.
They build Agents that monitor media coverage, flag sentiment shifts, and draft journalist outreach before your PR team even knows there's a story.
They build Agents that track every competitor move, grade its severity, and rewrite your battle cards and talk tracks before your next sales call.
They build Agents that turn every webinar into a brand-voice article, refreshed weekly and queued for your team to review before posting.
Our first marketing hire @nicklafferty has already become @tryprofound's Founding Marketing Engineer, the first person to hold this title at a company fully behind it.
Every marketing team on the planet will use AI to do their jobs better. But to build truly impactful systems, you need an owner and an orchestrator.
That's the Marketing Engineer.

Totally agree. Sometimes the biggest risk you take is not taking risks. Now feels like that time. Predictable low variability path to slow decline or thoughtful risk taking

A CEO from one of our portfolio companies shared this with their team. I’m re-sharing it with their permission, because it resonated and reflects what all founders and CEOs should be communicating. -- We are living through a period of compounding change. And in moments like this, the biggest risk is no longer making the wrong decision. It is moving too slowly while the world moves around you. There are two paths. We can play defense: - Protect what we have - Optimize what works - Wait for clarity It feels safe. It isn’t. Or we can play offense: - Learn faster than the environment changes - Use new tools to solve old problems in better ways - And create entirely new strategies and businesses That’s where the opportunity is. Challenge yourself to do things faster and better than you have ever attempted. Stay uncomfortable. Stay on the front foot.

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

Today, @tryprofound is excited to announce our $96M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by @lightspeedvp with participation from @sequoia, @kleinerperkins, @mattevantic, @saga_ventures and @southpkcommons.
When we started Profound 18 months ago, we had two fundamental beliefs about where marketing is heading:
1. Every company will care deeply about how AI talks about their brand.
2. Every marketer will use AI Agents to do their best work, faster.
Those beliefs are becoming reality faster than we imagined.
Now, we serve more than 10% of the Fortune 500 and are the number 1 leader on the G2 grid for AEO.
To double down on that momentum, we’re taking two big swings:
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: AI workers that take marketing teams from concept to execution.
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: certifications and cohort-based learning for marketers who want stay at the forefront of AI marketing.

So how’s openai supposed to compete with this ? I’ve had access to seedance 2 and its leagues above other models … copyright be damned.

More videos created with the Seedance2.0 model are now being shared online. Making films and anime is easy even for non-professionals.

😱Hard to believe this is AI-generated! China’s tech company ByteDance has released its new Seedance2.0 AI video model. This is gonna reshape the film industry!

But had to come out so I could to try @openclaw

Got a mac mini for clawdbot. Had a lot of fun setting this up today. Instead of access to my accounts, I gave it: ✅ its own apple account for messages ✅ its own gmail to sign up for stuff ✅ its own github to push code

@parth_kadakia Nothing new structurally. AI agents will probably follow the same org hierarchies we already use... execs -> managers -> employees . Only difference is now they’re just virtual
Brooklyn, NY 🇺🇸 English
@exploringfornow So, you're saying we're about to have AI agents needing digital assistants to manage their digital assistants? My brain hurts, but also... fascinating. 🤖
English
A whole new category of startups are coming... apps that will be "Clawdbot native." Workflows entirely for virtual ai agents.

Moved to SF today, with the same bed, frame, and lamp since I graduated college. Paying the same rent as first year out of college too.
Left four years of friends and memories in LA. Left gaming too, the whole reason I came out west.
Was thinking about how, to be a founder you have to be willing to start from zero again. To know nothing, to look like a fool, to restart your network, to be empty. But also to be insatiably curious and focused on the task at hand.
Excited for the next chapter.

I sourced a device similar to Razer’s AVA, then hacked together a working version in about 10 minutes using @Replit.
Factory price is $250
6.5 inch, runs android, WiFi/bluetooth.
The future of hardware is open source. Dm if interested!

When I tell my friends I pay $27/month for a full-stack engineer, they don’t believe me.
Replit is wildly underpriced. TBH they should be charging me thousands.
The opportunity cost of not using it is massive... especially for founders at the idea / pre-seed stage

Built something similar but instead you can turn the back of your phone into anything… from instant news, books, note taker, call recorder, stickers, and more.
All from a single prompt.
AI is gonna unlock whole new hardware opportunities
