Launch day! I'm so excited to share "The General Podcast," a true labor of love and almost a year in the making. 💥 It's a 'hostless' show that pairs founders, execs & creatives for fly-on-the-wall conversations on craft, curiosity & building (because maybe the world doesn’t need more VCs talking…). Ep 1: @lil_dill x @randyjhunt Ep 2: A healthcare journo x a pulitzer-prize winning author Ep 3: Two founders shaping the future of media Ep 4: Two legendary COOs Huge thanks to @phineasb & @thegp team for backing creative swings that challenge sameness. Listen and send me guest pairings you’d love to see :) 🎧 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the… 🎧 Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/0QWmlE9N8… 🎬 YouTube: youtu.be/268NRHhPSZ0 💌 Substack: thegeneralpartnership.substack.com

We just did something at @thegp that I’m really excited about. We expanded our partnership — welcome @_mwc to The General Partnership as our first Investor in Residence! (But, like so much of what we do @TheGP, we built it different.) Founders at the earliest stages deserve more than capital and "let me know how I can help." They deserve access to someone who has seen their specific market from every angle — who knows the buyer, the competitor, the regulatory landmines, the talent pool. We’re not growing by hiring more investors with quotas, but by formalizing our relationship with the first of a small group of incredible angels and emerging fund managers who have deep domain expertise in the spaces where we invest.

Sat down with @bingfish — the brain who helped build @EA, shaped The Sims and Madden, then helped build @kleinerperkins. Bing spent decades thinking about hits, storytelling, and why new media forms succeed (or don’t). Three ideas that stuck with me: 🎮 "Scream at the TV — and the TV screams back" AI's real power isn't making movies cheaper. It's enabling collective storytelling where audiences shape the narrative in real-time. 📝 Structure still matters more than prompts What works: deep narrative scaffolding (character bibles, motivations, constraints) written by real screenwriters, with AI improvising inside those rails. 🎬 Hollywood is re-entering its tech-renegade era Hollywood started as a tech business. Renegades + controversial machine = new art form. AI is forcing that moment again. Thanks @thegp and @taylormajewski for making this happen. youtu.be/kNMi_tTkka8?si…

Timely!
The General Partnership ("TheGP")@thegp

New episode of The General Podcast! A few weeks ago, we sat down with @graphite co-founder and CEO @MerrillLutsky and @warpdotdev founder and CEO @zachlloydtweets at TheGP’s studio. They talk candidly about what’s changing inside modern engineering orgs - from why code review is becoming the real bottleneck to why vibe coding breaks in production, to what it actually takes to build (and market) developer tools. A timely conversation between two amazing builders - @graphite just announced it's joining @cursor_ai.

This is the golden age for writers Late enough to benefit from internet distribution, early enough to be irreplaceable by AI, just in time to have the most valuable and singularly human skill that everyone is finally realizing is worth paying a lot for

"AI interrupts the connection to your own body, the body that makes you a writer." The clearest articulation I've read on the "risk" of over relying on AI to write for you, as a writer, from my dear friend and favorite editor @DidYouWriteThat

'Storytelling' is the skillset du jour (h/t @WSJ) and what fortuitous timing...two excellent storytellers stopped by TheGP's studio a few weeks ago. I was lucky to be a fly on the wall for this conversation between @bingfish and @stephenpiron and now you can too :)
The General Partnership ("TheGP")@thegp

New episode of The General Podcast! @bingfish joined @EA in its earliest days as Chief Creative Officer. @stephenpiron is the founder of pickford.ai, a new studio where the audience drives the plot in real time. In this episode, Bing and Stephen interview each other. They cover: - Character bibles > prompts - Modernizing centuries-old story structure for today - Why 'hits' still matter more than platforms - Why AI will create more work for storytellers, not less - Pickford's work with SAG to fairly compensate artists - The real story behind EA’s famous “Can a computer make you cry?” ad Listen 👇

It's my 10-year Infoversary today! I was 24 when I started, and was envious of some of the other news startups that seemed cooler, and more widely read. I'm continually impressed @Jessicalessin built a newsroom that has not only survived, but has grown more relevant and essential. Media is hard, but it's been very rewarding to watch this place up close over the years.

I would personally like a @ryolu_ @karrisaarinen showdown (aka respectful conversation about their differing points of view on where code fits into all of this)
