My reporting on Amazon's Just Walk Out has gotten warped in a lot of other news outlets and on social media over the past few days. But the story's virality gets at a fundamental truth: a lot of flashy AI still needs people behind the scenes. My @theinformation column:

Every entrepreneur should watch this. Building a startup ain’t easy but its worth it.

@agazdecki Data suggests otherwise. See list below of startups from ex-consultants, & many of our best hires are former consultants. Hiring or investing based on any stereotype (school, age, former employer, etc) is lazy + leads to suboptimal outcomes. x.com/davevasen/stat…

This is hilarious and also why startups should never hire MBA consultants who have never built a company before.

“Give me my theme music!”… How I’m entering every company meeting from now on…

@DenehyXXL @IlirSela @jrichlive @AleResnik I didn’t want our brightwheel purple to take all the attention 😃

@IlirSela @jrichlive @AleResnik @davevasen That must be it!

.@brightwheel is in the Forbes #Cloud100! Honored to be amongst the very best SaaS companies in the world. We’re hiring if you want to be part of a high growth co that is transforming early education for schools, families, & kids. forbes.com/lists/cloud100/

No spoilers, but this is the cleverest football advert I've ever seen.

@bryan_johnson @ResellCalendar @mirmanwar +1 if you’re looking for early testers/subscribers

@ResellCalendar @mirmanwar We are excited to quantify the efficacy and then improve quickly with data

If @bryan_johnson dropped a healthy food brand subscription brand with things like the green giant, nutty pudding, etc and all the things he eats and drinks I'd subscribe and get on that plan to hoping it adds 2 months to my life. All highly tested. All proven. All claims real.

A Harvard professor focused on the future of work says college degrees are becoming less important in the workplace than the social and executive functioning skills mastered (or not) during the years of early childhood. fortune.com/2023/06/03/ear…

My 5yr old had her first full size donut over the weekend, and just asked me for another "sugar bagel"

Preschool-age kids learn best hands-on, offline. We now bridge offline/online learning, giving teachers superpowers in the classroom & enabling parents to continue the learning at home.

Big day for @brightwheel! We now deliver a full school-in-a-box: all materials + curriculum teachers need for hands-on learning in pre-k. Our app then captures it real-time & tracks developmental milestones. Plus an industry-first: automatic summaries shared with parents.

This crisis also opened my eyes to public contempt for tech. Income was at risk for hundreds of thousands of avg people, yet we heard about billionaires & bailouts. I dream of a day when we can talk facts, not ideology or political points.

Actions speak louder than words (& tweets). Thank you to those who took action.

SVB was an existential crisis. As in any crisis, ppl showed their true colors… -Exec teams who took care of employees + customers -Investors who offered their own $ -Co’s like @Rippling that did whatever necessary to get ppl paid -Gov for stepping up (at no cost to taxpayers)
