@worldwide_nette congrats!

Wow, still coming down from the high of a16z speedrun's demo day yesterday. 12 weeks of pressure cooking. Sleepless nights. Gallons of matcha. all leading to 90 seconds on stage in front of 1400+ people (and 12,000 more watching virtually!) to show them all what we've been building. I'm super proud of our team. I’m still buzzing from all the feedback. What an experience. And we’re just getting started.

just watched a16z @speedrun 006 demo day. the bar has never been this high.

@ahsanshowrov with alfred i meant ai that just stages context where you'd already look without external disruptions, not that it acts on your behalf. e.g., pre-meeting research lives as a private note on the calendar event, not a text in your inbox.

@berkbuilds Okay but the alfred model sounds right but the trust problem is real and how do you get comfortable with something silently handling your calendar and email before you've seen it fail once?

ai coworker UX (jarvis) that lives in message, slack, telegram is playing the wrong game. they feel productive at first. but you're just adding another conversation and eventually exhaust people. the real ai native coworker UX is alfred. no chat. no ping. just handles things silently where you already are. calendar. email. docs. you interact only if you want.

the endgame of every ai sdr is becoming an ai-native crm

should i go for 1 or 2?

@MooneyMillions it's kind of sad though. i would prefer a fire to being old and forgotten.

No single catastrophic event destroyed the Library of Alexandria. There’s a lesson in there.

2023: chunk it, embed it, retrieve it (RAG) 2025: let it grep the filesystem (.md files) 2027: let it query the database (SQL, PostgreSQL) RAG died when the harness learned to grep. the filesystem dies when it learns to query.

@benjaminshafii i know the reason :)

I woke up this morning and made a big decision: My lowercase era is over. Long live proper capitalization.

saas was the middleman between user and compute. ai is about to eliminate it.

prediction: 1 Trillion token context window by Q2 2027.

@Bfaviero I’m here!

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

bravery is the most underrated founder skill. most founders still play not to lose. with AI reshaping everything, playing it safe is a perfect recipe for slow death.

@GeorgeJeffersn Congrats! Is this like Paperclip but for growth?

WE GOT INTO YCOMBINATOR LFG 🚀

@ParagArora can i join with my vibecoding skills making no mistakes?

I am looking for a Senior LLM Infrastructure Engineer. This is not a cloud wrapper job. You would be deploying and operating vLLM and KServe ( or alternates ) on real bare-metal infrastructure. The work is making heterogeneous silicon behave as a coherent inference platform, at production latency and scale. What the role actually involves: owning model serving end to end, getting batching and PagedAttention working correctly (working with the Intel HABana runtime as well and not just CUDA only ), tuning auto-scaling policies for real customer workloads, and keeping inference SLAs honest. If you have operated vLLM in production, have experience with AI hardware, and think in terms of memory pressure, throughput, and tail latency rather than just getting a model to respond, I want to talk to you. Drop me a message or tag someone who fits.

@aestheticsguyy do you have a longer version of this? asking for a friend

Apparently you can’t copy links to videos anymore is this true?

@TarlonKhoubyari is this a startup idea? lol

actually curious to hear what other people think if you're at an event and there are name tags, do you find them useful?

@adisingh email was invented for agents and we just didn't know it yet.

YC companies now use AgentMail to send emails which redeem their bookface deals. Great.

@MooneyMillions Welcome!
