We will all have a stable of personalized AI agents (with their own personalities) that we deploy for a variety of tasks They’ll be connected to public and private personal data sources They’ll be highly interactive like other human agents, and use interactions and feedback to hone in on your preferences I think we will all have a personalized: - travel agent (helps suggest and book perfect trips) - security agent (helps you manage digital and personal and physical security) - scheduling agent (helps you manage your schedule) - food agent (helps manage inventory, suggest and track recipes, order food, etc) - romantic agent (helps manage dating life) - social/experience agent (helps make life fun) - medical agent (helps optimize lifespan) - longevity agent (helps optimize healthspan) - investing agent (both simple portfolio management and complex security analysis) - marketing agent (helps you distribute ideas, create memes, run campaigns, etc) - writing agent (writing co-pilot) - business intelligence agent (helps present most critical business intelligence in your organization) - software agent (helps you write custom software for yourself) - content agent (helps serve you the perfect content across channels and mediums) Probably many others… Lots of these may be combined, but I do think we’ll have multiple agents with different perspectives and training They’ll all constantly get better as models improve, as data sources come online, and as they learn you via feedback which gets incorporated into the model. This seems inevitable to me. Why is that wrong? What companies are already doing this? If you want to build something in this space (or already are) let me know.

A boss looks for reasons to say no. A leader looks for reasons to say yes. A boss issues orders and demands loyalty. A leader gives direction and takes responsibility. A boss expects to be the most important person in the room. A leader makes everyone feel important.

A million things → what's happening in AI, summarised. Here's a bunch of cool shit that's going on. (plus Sir Benedict Cucumber batch h/t r/stablediffusion) ⤵

Just realized this... wow 🤯 Yield farming is actually a business model shift — it's redistributing the traditional marketing line item (CAC) directly into the customer’s hands.

Bonsai is a grand exercise in patience and creativity

@MJB_SF Fast until lunch. Give your gut a break!

In a software-eaten, SaaS world, positioning your company based on features/capabilities as "unique differentiators" is a fool's errand.

Whew. Yep. OH: Organizational debt is so much worse and malignant than tech debt. And it takes a lot more humility to recognize and address.

We are about to witness several decades worth of fintech “progress" be utterly blown away by the combination of: 1. Eth scaling (ZKP, ORU) 2. Wallet UX (Argent, Gnosis) 3. Stablecoins (USDC, DAI, sFIAT) 4. AMM pools (Uni, Curve, BAL) 5. Last mile integrations (Frick, and others)

Absolutely no path for Trump without Ohio. The last time Ohio was truly decisive was 2004 - back then, states like Colorado and Virginia were more Republican than Ohio

@theSamParr @nevmed @zoom_us Good luck chasing down a Cam Link at the moment.

My friend @nevmed is now using a DSLR camera on Zoom @zoom_us calls. How badass is that? Imagine a client video call. It's like showing up in a nice suit vs gym shorts. I'm gonna do this!

What's the best Cam Link alternative? Or...do you have a cam link you can sell me?

You can solve a problem vertically but end up with TAM problems. Or you can solve a problem horizontally but end up with CAC problems. Pick your poison.

One of the biggest problems with the world is that fools are always so sure and certain about everything and intelligent people are so full of doubts and uncertainties. 🧠
