@SebJohnsonUK @meetgranola @samstphenson @cjpedregal @meetcleo @Barney_H_Y @synthesiaIO @vriparbelli @Stjerrild @fyxerofficial how does the density compare to other places though? do you think sf's density is larger than that of london?

The AI scene in London is crazy. The number of high quality AI companies building across the city is phenomenal: > @meetgranola from @samstphenson and @cjpedregal > @meetcleo from @Barney_H_Y > @synthesiaIO from @vriparbelli and @Stjerrild > @fyxerofficial from @rich_fyxer_ai And SO MANY MORE. The map also highlights one of the big issues in London - that startups are so spread out. Without density you lack serendipity and that's definitely an issue in London. Overall though the city is THRIVING. Great map from John Tan - let him know if there's any missing.

@makemake_kbo "you'll get more useful intelligence out of $1m of Claude API credits than that of quantum computer that you have been asking about."

@altantutar most local model arguments can be resolved by asking how much tokens you could buy with the money youd sink into hardware

claude code is a better salesman than most of you. been talking to it to decide if I buy 64gb or 48gb RAM based on all my activity for my new Mac. the response I get: “take the 14" 48GB Nano-texture at White City today and put the £950 difference into Claude API credits, you'll get more useful intelligence out of that than out of the extra 16GB.” ☠️ ☠️ ☠️

i'm seeing crazy asymmetric opportunity in AI video right now: brands are used to paying $50k+ for a single production so a solo creator with ai tools can: 1. easily charge $5-10k+ 2. make the same thing in 2 days for almost nothing 3. and most brands can't tell the difference wrote up the full playbook on how to actually do this: > which models to learn (and when to use each one) > the best workflow that lets you use all of them from one workspace > how to build a portfolio fast and start signing clients at $2-10k+ the demand is way ahead of the supply of people who know these tools. that's your window. get cooking!

Silly Business Theory is right: in the future the best work, greatest progress, most valuable innovations won't come from laboring under the false consciousness that work must be hard and serious to produce value. The best work is going to come from people playing and having fun.

@Bfaviero really nice @phantom jacket!

Coming back to SF for April! Who’s around? Looking to catch up with crypto, AI, and defense friends old and new

It's a really good guide! Thanks for preparing all of this. I have a couple of questions: a) What's the percentage of success on the outbounds. I receive a lot of emails, and certainly don't open almost 99% of them. Is there an alternative to the outbound channel that could be more effective? b) Can you apply this to B2C? Have you thought about any modifications that could lead to growth there too?

We just hit $1.5M ARR with GojiberryAI To celebrate, I put together a short document breaking down exactly how we got there. Feel free to share it, and tag a founder who could benefit from it 🙌

@MacroMate8 @SolanaFndn woaw, bullish. congratulations!

big personal news: first off, Ethereum is dead second, i am now Special Situations at @SolanaFndn. my mandate is mega deals that will drive max value why solana? > the most engaged userbase in crypto with the highest take rate per volume (more than hype coinbase binance) > foundation is very lean and full of killers > other chains dont need me. ethereum is fucked (stuck in communism) and hype’s perp game is mature. solana is perfect for me to have fun and get shit done what will i do at solana: > bring 10B TVL to solana i’ve brokered 1-2B before and wanna up my game. if you are a large TVL provider, we have super scalable fixed yield products at 7-8% in a tradfi setup dm me > help grow RWA perps on solana hype done a great job with oil, gold, nasdaq perps and we will take it further if you are a serious crypto/tradfi market maker in rwa, we have the distribution and open to deals dm me what motivates me personally: first off, I am doing this for glory. I want to come in and be instrumental in growing trading activity and onchain tvl. second, I want to be relevant again. I miss pissing people off while being unavoidable. its fun thirdly, learn how to acquire trading distribution. almost no one in crypto knows how to do but thats where billion usd opportunities lie and they belong on solana.

@0x_Vivek @NEARProtocol it doesn't. stop this ai slop pls.

@altantutar @NEARProtocol ironclaw enclaves strictly pull the heaviest @nearprotocol traffic today. wild to frame this alongside core infra like l1 clients, rust sdks, and intent routers.

nearai/ironclaw is clearly the most starred @nearprotocol project ever. it's nice to put into perspective compared to all the other well-known near repositories like near/nearcore, near/near-sdk-rs, and near/intents.

@azaztrader01 @NEARProtocol ai is definitely more popular than crypto

@altantutar @NEARProtocol That's quite a milestone. What do you think has been the key driver for its popularity compared to the others?

@bennybrown_nft @NEARProtocol always been...

@altantutar @NEARProtocol Amazing tech

anthropic team is literally in "founder mode." they shipped literally 9 features over the last 7 days. the real story here isn't that Claude can now use a computer with a message from your phone, it's that anthropic is commoditising all the tasks that we tell someone working in business operations in one or a couple of different messages. whoever controls the 'default computer agent' slot by end of 2025 controls how every knowledge worker spends their day, and it seems like claude is the closest to getting there.

“witch will continue”???? that tells you everything you need to know about this smh

@josephweb3 maybe 😆

@altantutar if mark have done this years ago, he could have saved the 80B loss?

Every executive will be running an OpenClaw-like agent within the next 12 months. > Facebook: Zuck is already claiming that he is building in-house. > NVIDIA: Jensen Huang at GTC said every company needs an OpenClaw strategy. They shipped NemoClaw, an enterprise security layer, on top of it, and perhaps dogfooding it themselves. > OpenAI: They acquired Peter Steinberger, the founder of OpenClaw, who was able to hit 250K+ GitHub stars in less 60 days, faster than Linux, React, or any open-source project in history. > Anthropic: They shipped Cowork Dispatch while OpenAI was getting busy acquiring Peter. > Coinbase: Brian Armstrong publicly said they have been experimenting with AI agents that Brian can take advise from. The reality is that in Fortune 500 companies, maybe 1% of the information determines whether a decision is right or wrong. The other 99% gets filtered through the corporate hierarchy. The agents will replace this filter. A CEO agent will have the context of the entire organisation's actions, and it will surface three things that actually matter for the executive. This means the destruction / reduction of the entire information & operations structure within organizations, in roles like chief of staff, executive assistant, strategy, and planning. The question, then, is that every board should be asking if the CEO isn't running one of these by the year end, what are they making decision on.

@0xcafeli @labs_compass ohh nice change on the website! definitely, I will give it a try for the yield SDK🫡

@altantutar @labs_compass to add any DeFi product 👀

- Privy = wallets your users won't hate (Free–$99/mo) - Base = where you deploy if you still want to be on Ethereum. Gas is basically free. (Free) - Solana = where you deploy if you need very fast execution (Free) - ZCash = if you need private money (Free) - NEAR Intents = where you can trade any asset on any chain (Free) - Alchemy = your RPC infra (Free tier) - Thirdweb = a lot of pre-built smart contracts (Free tier) - Dynamic = login + wallet UX in one SDK (Free tier) - Supabase = off-chain data layer (Free tier) - Vercel = ship your frontend in 60 seconds (Free tier) - Stablecoins = let users buy anything without a card (Free) - Claude = your 24/7 senior crypto dev ($20/mo) Total cost to go from idea → live crypto consumer app: $20/mo A solo founder with $20 can now ship what used to require a 10-person core protocol engineering team. Just build the thing.

The sign of being a great entrepreneur is not how good your ideas are. It's how clever you can be about figuring out quick, cheap, and easy ways to try them.

jensen huang just explained why the ai economy hasn't even started yet: "people pay for information. but people mostly pay for work." everything so far (chatbots, deep research answers), that's the small markets. ai agents doing real work, that's perhaps the real ai economy.
